    • BoSox prospect Nick Yorke bumped up to Triple-A
      The Red Sox have moved Nick Yorke up to Triple-A Worcester, according to the Boston Herald’s Mac Cerullo.

      Advice: Yorke, a 2020 first-round pick, was hitting a modest .251/.325/.366 in 45 games at Double-A Portland. His stock is down from a couple of years ago, but there’s still hope for him as a starting second baseman. He only turned 22 in April. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago

    • Retreating to bench
      Schmitt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Schmitt started at shortstop in each of the previous four games and went 5-for-12 with a pair of home runs, but he still looks to be stuck in a part-time role with the Giants. He benefited from Thairo Estrada missing three of the previous four games with a thumb injury, resulting in Brett Wisely picking up starts at the keystone on all three occasions. Wisely and Estrada should serve as the Giants' primary middle infielders now that both are healthy, and Schmitt could be at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Sacramento once shortstop Nick Ahmed (wrist) makes his way back from the 10-day injured list.

    • Idle against lefty
      Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Wisely will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Giants face off against another southpaw (Jordan Montgomery). Tyler Fitzgerald will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday, but Wisely should see the majority of the starts at the position while Nick Ahmed (wrist) remains on the injured list.

    • Exits starting nine
      Marte is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Giants.

      Advice: Marte had started each of the previous 18 contests for the Diamondbacks but will receive some rest during Wednesday's afternoon tilt. Blaze Alexander will cover second base for Marte. Rotowire.com Today, 10:15 am
       
    • Hits game-tying homer
      Freeman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Royals.

      Advice: Freeman's homer tied the game at 5-5 in the seventh inning. He hit eighth Tuesday, the lowest he's been in the order since May 9, though it was expected he'd see less time in the top-third of the lineup following Steven Kwan's return from a hamstring injury. Freeman is batting a respectable .256 over his last 20 games, though his season average remains at .219 with a .666 OPS, five homers, 24 RBI, 33 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 54 contests.

    • Jeff McNeil rides pine for third straight game
      Jeff McNeil is sitting versus a left-hander for a third straight game on Wednesday.

      Advice: McNeil would have played Tuesday had Trevor Williams not been scratched, but after he was replaced by a southpaw, McNeil again rode the pine. McNeil hasn’t actually been any worse against lefties (.246/.290/.323) than righties (.217/.299/.319) this year, but it probably is the case that Jose Iglesias is the better option versus southpaws.

    • Hitting bench against lefty again
      McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The Mets have opposed left-handed starting pitchers in three straight games, and the lefty-hitting McNeil has been on the bench for each of those contests. McNeil hasn't been a strict platoon player for much of his tenure with the Mets, but manager Carlos Mendoza has chosen to limit the 32-year-old's exposure to southpaws while he's mustered a modest .275 wOBA over 69 plate appearances against lefties on the season. McNeil hasn't fared much better against right-handed pitching either (.281 wOBA in 155 plate appearances), but the Mets haven't offered any indication that he's at risk of losing out on starts in those matchups.

    • Records steal as pinch runner
      Bliss entered Tuesday's win over the Athletics as a pinch runner in the top of the eighth inning and recorded a steal of second base. He did not log a subsequent plate appearance.

      Advice: The speedy rookie is already up to three swipes over his first six big-league games, with those numbers coming on the heels of a 28-for-34 showing in the steals department at Triple-A Tacoma. Bliss has seen only one ball drop in thus far over his 15 plate appearances, but he's maintained a presence on the basepaths and set himself up for stolen-base opportunities by also drawing four walks in that span.

    • Pops fifth homer
      Torres went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Twins.

      Advice: He took Bailey Ober deep in the second inning to get the Yankees on the board, giving Torres his fifth long ball of the year. The second baseman has hit safely in five straight games and 10 of the last 11 as he shows signs of emerging from his season-long slump -- over that 11-game stretch he's slashing .297/.372/.514 with two doubles and two homers.
