    • Replaces resting Sosa in lineup
      Merrifield will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Merrifield made three consecutive starts in left field last week while the Phillies faced three left-handed pitchers in a row and went 2-for-11 with a home run and four RBI over those contests. Though he still looks to be a short-side platoon player for Philadelphia, Merrifield will re-enter the lineup Wednesday against a righty (Nick Pivetta), filling in for a resting Edmundo Sosa in the middle infield.

    • On bench again Wednesday
      Arozarena (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Arozarena will remain on the bench for the second day in a row while he manages a tight right hamstring. Given that the Rays felt comfortable enough using Arozarena as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 5-2 win, he's seemingly on track to avoid a stint on the injured list. Arozarena's absence from the lineup Wednesday will enable the Rays to give Yandy Diaz a day out of the field and deploy him at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:00 pm
       
    • Randy Arozarena remains out of lineup Wednesday
      Randy Arozarena (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Arozarena is battling through a hamstring issue but was able to pinch hit on Tuesday. The Rays are calling him day-to-day, so it’s likely that he’s close but not ready to be out in the field for an entire game or sprinting around the bases. The Rays will start Richie Palacios in left field. Jose Caballero is also back in the lineup at third base with Isaac Paredes moving to first and Yandy Diaz at DH.

    • Mashes 16th homer
      Stanton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 10-1 win against Kansas City.

      Advice: Stanton produced an RBI on a fielder's choice in the first inning and added a 446-foot solo blast in the seventh. It was a positive bounce-back after the slugger went 0-for-14 with seven strikeouts during the weekend's three-game series versus the Dodgers. Stanton's .229 batting average on the season isn't ideal, but he's tied for ninth in the league with 16 homers and has added 38 RBI along with 29 runs through 245 plate appearances.

    • Gaining traction in lineup
      Chourio will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Chourio will stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, with three of his starts coming against right-handed pitching during that stretch. The rookie went 4-for-13 with a home run, a double and two walks over his previous four starts, and his recent surge at the plate could be enough for him to unseat the lefty-hitting Jake Bauers as a regular in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. Bauers is in the lineup Wednesday against Toronto righty Chris Bassitt, but he was on the bench for two of the Brewers' previous three matchups with right-handers.

    • Randy Arozarena (hamstring) pinch-hits on Tuesday
      Randy Arozarena (hamstring) grounded out as a pinch-hitter during Tuesday’s contest against the Cubs.

      Advice: It’s an extremely encouraging sign that Arozarena was available to pinch-hit after being scratched from Tuesday’s lineup with right hamstring tightness. The 29-year-old corner outfielder has shown some real signs of life recently, so the hope here is that he’ll be ready to return to Tampa Bay’s lineup shortly. It doesn’t appear that he’s dealing with a serious ailment and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day moving forward. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:26 am
       
    • Triples, drives in three Tuesday
      Greene went 1-for-5 with a triple, a run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-4, extra-inning loss to the Nationals.

      Advice: Greene's triple came with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth inning, pushing his season RBI total to 28. The young outfielder is still batting just .242 after hitting .288 in 2023, but his .793 OPS is in line with last year's .796 mark. Greene is a dynamic talent, and if he can push his average up even a little bit, he should be able to have a sizable fantasy impact the rest of the way. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:13 pm
       
    • Riley Greene plates three in loss to Nationals
      Riley Greene went 1-for-5 with three RBI on Tuesday in the Tigers’ extra-inning loss to the Nationals.

      Advice: Greene put the Tigers ahead in the fifth inning with a bases-clearing triple to right field and wound up scoring on the play thanks to a throwing error from Nationals second baseman Luis Garcia Jr. It wound up being his lone hit in five at-bats of an eventual extra-inning loss for Detroit.

    • Managing hamstring issue
      Arozarena was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs due to right hamstring tightness, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

      Advice: It's unclear when exactly Arozarena picked up the injury as he started the previous eight games, with all but one of those starts coming in the outfield. The 29-year-old slugger should be considered day-to-day until more information is available. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:21 pm
