  • Absent from lineup
    Swanson is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay.

    Advice: It looks to be a simple day of rest for Swanson, who had started each of the previous 20 contests. Nico Hoerner will shift over to shortstop and Michael Busch will handle second base for the Cubs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:28 pm
     
  • Taylor Walls excluded from Thursday’s lineup
    Taylor Walls is taking a seat against a left-hander Thursday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Walls has actually hit lefties better than righties in his career, though he’s still awfully weak against both. Walls had started five of six games since coming off the injured list. The Rays went 1-4 in those games, with the lone win coming Tuesday after Walls was replaced in the seventh and the team rallied for all five of its runs. The Rays have scored a total of eight runs in the 42 innings in which Walls has played. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:58 pm
     
  • Getting day off
    Schuemann is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota.

    Advice: Schuemann wore the golden sombrero in Wednesday's loss to the Padres, so he will be given the day off Thursday to regroup. Aledmys Diaz will draw the start at shortstop. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:54 pm
     
  • Dylan Moore back from paternity list
    Mariners reinstated INF/OF Dylan Moore from the paternity list.

    Advice: Moore was gone for three days. He’ll resume playing pretty regularly between second, third and left, giving him some value in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:12 am

  • Sent down to Tacoma
    The Mariners optioned Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

    Advice: Rivas was brought up from the minors Monday to serve as temporary depth while Dylan Moore was away on paternity leave. Now that Moore has returned, Rivas will head back to Triple-A, where he's slashed .255/.386/.353 across 130 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:08 am

  • Returns from paternity leave
    The Mariners reinstated Moore (personal) from the paternity list Thursday.

    Advice: Moore has been away from the team since Monday to spend time with his family, and he will now return to the Mariners ahead of Thursday's series finale against the White Sox. The 31-year-old has slashed .160/.233/.200 with two RBI and five runs scored since the beginning of June. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:00 am

  • Twins bring up Austin Martin from Triple-A
    Twins recalled INF/OF Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: He replaces Alex Kirilloff. Martin earned another look by hitting .290/.466/.387 with a 7/21 K/BB ratio in 88 plate appearances in Triple-A. Manuel Margot has gotten hot this month, so we’ll have to see just how much playing time Martin gets in the Twins’ outfield rotation. He’s also an option at second base, but he’s a weaker one than Willi Castro. During his earlier stints with the Twins, all 23 of his starts came in left or center. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:26 am

  • Back with big club
    The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Advice: He's switching spots with Alex Kirilloff, who has been optioned to St. Paul. Martin has slashed just .224/.289/.355 across 30 games at the big-league level this season. He could see some action versus lefties, but the 25-year-old's playing time is unlikely to be steady. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:19 am
