    • Sitting against lefty
      Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: With a tough lefty (Ranger Suarez) on the hill for Philadelphia, the lefty-hitting Baty will retreat to the bench. The freshly recalled Mark Vientos will get the start at third base and could end up filling the short side of a platoon with Baty while he's up with the big club. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
       
    • Out Wednesday with hamstring injury
      Polanco (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Polanco will take a seat for the second day in a row while he manages a tight right hamstring. The Mariners are viewing him as day-to-day, but a trip to the injured could become more realistic if Polanco is still not available to start coming out of Thursday's team off day.

    • Elly De La Cruz sits for first time this season
      Elly De La Cruz is absent from the Reds lineup Wednesday for the first time this season.

      Advice: No word of any injury, and we’re going to assume this was a planned day off. Spencer Steer got one yesterday, and he also had been in the lineup every game this season. The Reds have Santiago Espinal at shortstop today. Rotoworld Today, 10:20 am
       
    • Receives first day off
      De La Cruz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona.

      Advice: For the first time all season, De La Cruz will exit the starting nine for what looks to be a routine maintenance day before the Reds continue their road trip Thursday in Los Angeles. Santiago Espinal will step in at shortstop in place of De La Cruz, who has slowed down a bit at the plate of late with two hits and six strikeouts in 14 at-bats over his last three games.

    • Records steal in win
      Freeman went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, two hit-by-pitches, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: That's a hard way to get on base four times, but it worked well to set the table for the Guardians. Freeman is still not hitting all that well -- he's batting .167 over 12 games in May, dropping his season average to .193 through 37 contests. He's made up for it with a passable .307 on-base percentage and 9.2 percent walk rate. The 24-year-old has added five steals, four home runs, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored and six doubles through 141 plate appearances. Manager Stephen Vogt is still trying to figure out who will fit best at leadoff while Steven Kwan (hamstring) is out, and Freeman is in the mix, having hit atop the order in each of the last three games.

    • Rare day off Wednesday
      Garcia is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Garcia's only other day off this season came in the second game of a doubleheader. He will give way to Adam Frazier on Wednesday, both at third base and in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 9:47 am
       
    • Brewers demote Oliver Dunn to Triple-A
      Brewers optioned INF Oliver Dunn to Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: Dunn got some time as the Brewers’ leadoff man last month, but he wound up hitting a modest .226/.278/.333 in 90 plate appearances during his first stint in the majors. There’s still some hope for him as a platoon option at second or third, but he needs to shed some strikeouts; he had a 39% K rate his first time around the league. Rotoworld Today, 9:42 am

    • Mets officially call up Mark Vientos
      Mets recalled 3B Mark Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse.

      Advice: The Mets probably should have swapped Brett Baty out here and given Vientos a real chance at third base. Instead, those two apparently will split time for now. Vientos went 3-for-7 with a homer in his earlier stint with the Mets this season. He was hitting .284/.376/.500 with six homers in 133 plate appearances for Norfolk. He might eventually be a mixed-league option if he becomes an everyday guy. Rotoworld Today, 9:30 am
       
    • Heading to minors
      The Brewers optioned Dunn to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

      Advice: Though he served as Milwaukee's designated hitter in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates, Dunn's playing time had been relatively sparse since mid-April with Joey Ortiz overtaking him as the preferred option at third base. As a left-handed hitter, Dunn wasn't a fit for the Brewers as a short-side platoon player, either, so he'll head to Nashville to get some everyday playing time. Outfielder Chris Roller was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 9:29 am
