  • Optioned to AAA
    Shewmake was optioned to Triple-AAA Charlotte on Friday.

  • Acuna Jr. back in the lineup on Friday
    Ronald Acuna Jr. is back in the lineup, batting first for the Braves against the Padres on Friday.

    Advice: Acuna Jr. received the day off on Wednesday as the Braves look for him to break out of his slump. He went 0-for-5 at the plate on Tuesday, which dropped his average to .245 on the season. Acuna Jr.'s .696 OPS is the lowest of his career. Hopefully the short break helps him get on track. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Out of starting lineup versus lefty
    Soderstrom is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against the Royals.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Soderstrom will start from the bench as the Athletics take on lefty Cole Ragans. The 22-year-old first baseman has started in six of Oakland's last eight games, though J.D. Davis will take the field in place of Soderstrom and bat sixth against Kansas City.

  • Brandon Nimmo scratched from Thursday’s lineup
    Brandon Nimmo has been scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s showdown against the Phillies due to illness.

    Advice: Nimmo is dealing with a stomach bug, which will keep him out for at least Thursday’s contest. It’ll be Tyrone Taylor moving up to the leadoff spot and DJ Stewart taking over in left field. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:28 pm
     
  • Taking seat Thursday
    Langeliers is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Houston.

    Advice: It's a routine day off for Langeliers after he started each of the last four days behind the plate. Kyle McCann will do the catching for Joey Estes on Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:25 pm
     
  • Scratched from lineup
    Nimmo was scratched from the Mets' lineup prior to Thursday's game against the Phillies due to a stomach illness, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Nimmo wasn't feeling well heading into Thursday's contest, so the Mets will give him the day off to recover. In the meantime, DJ Stewart will take Nimmo's place in left field and bat fifth, moving Tyrone Taylor into the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:22 pm
