  • Mark Canha still out with illness Wednesday
    Mark Canha is out of Wednesday’s lineup with an upper respiratory infection.

    Advice: This appears to be why the 35-year-old was out of the lineup Tuesday as well. “He’s not feeling well,” manager AJ Hinch said. “It hasn’t been a great road trip health-wise (for the team), so we’re kind of quarantining him at this point to get him away from the rest of us until further notice.” If this is the case, Canha could be out a couple more games. The Tigers finish up their road trip at Cleveland and head back home for a weekend series against with the Astros. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago

  • Uncorks three-run shot Tuesday
    Brown went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

    Advice: Brown's eighth-inning shot with JJ Bleday and Brent Rooker aboard got the Athletics out of a double-digit deficit, but it would also be the final runs of the day for Oakland. The 31-year-old snapped a six-game home-run drought with the round-tripper, as well as the 0-for-11 slump he'd been mired in during that stretch. Brown is still limping along with a .179/.243/.305 slash line, and a strikeout rate that's ballooned to 31.1 percent this season is playing a prominent role in the struggles.

  • Losing grip on regular role
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Biggio will hit the bench for the fifth time in six games, with three of those absences coming while the Blue Jays have faced left-handed starting pitchers and two coming versus righties. The 29-year-old has maintained a strong-side platoon role at second base for much of the season, but with his OPS sitting at .621 through 29 games, Biggio looks like he could lose work to Davis Schneider moving forward.

  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Donovan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: With left-hander Jose Quintana toeing the slab for the Mets, the Cardinals have elected to give the left-handed-hitting Donovan a breather. Lars Nootbaar will fill in for Donovan in left field. Rotowire.com Today, 8:19 am

  • Absent from Wednesday's lineup
    Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: Goldschmidt is hitless in May and the Cardinals have discussed the possibility of giving him a few days off to clear his head and have him work on his approach at the plate. However, it's not yet clear whether his absence from the lineup Wednesday is the first of multiple days off, or just a one-off matter. Alec Burleson will handle first base in Goldschmidt's stead.

  • Getting into rhythm
    Aranda (finger) went 4-for-5 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

    Advice: Aranda has been on a rehab assignment since April 26 and went hitless in his first 19 at-bats. However, he's since seen some improved results, collecting at least one hit in three straight games. The Rays may let him continue to heat up with Durham, but Aranda should be back with the big-league club soon. He also should have the chance to get regular at-bats upon activation at a combination of second base, third base and designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 8:14 am
     
  • Belts eighth homer
    Paredes went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: The 25-year-old continues to rake. Paredes has seven multi-hit performances in the last 12 games, a stretch in which he's batting .362 (17-for-47) with a 6:4 BB:K. The surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .299/.384/.520 with eight homers and 19 RBI, and with top prospect Junior Caminero tearing it up himself at Triple-A Durham (.340/.392/.681 over his last 12 games), Paredes is doing his best to ensure he won't lose his spot in the starting lineup once the Rays call up the 20-year-old phenom.

  • Getting breather Wednesday
    Perez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Brewers.

    Advice: Perez will receive a rare breather during the afternoon game. Freddy Fermin will do the catching for Brady Singer while Perez gets some rest. Rotowire.com Today, 7:49 am
     
  • Held out again Wednesday
    Canha (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Cleveland, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Canha was held out of Tuesday's 11-7 win due to an upper-respiratory illness and will sit out again Wednesday. The Tigers are off Thursday, so Canha will hope to be ready to roll for Friday's series opener versus the Astros. Colt Keith will get the start at designated hitter Wednesday in Canha's stead.
