  • Remains out of action
    Varsho (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

    Advice: Varsho will be absent from the lineup for a fourth straight contest as he deals with a back injury. He is considered day-to-day. Kevin Kiermaier will make another start in center field and bat ninth for the Blue Jays on Wednesday. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Cal Raleigh lifts Mariners to victory over Rays
    Cal Raleigh clobbered a three-run homer on Wednesday, leading the Mariners to a 5-2 victory over the Rays.

    Advice: Raleigh put Seattle ahead for good in a low-scoring series finale at Tropicana Field by walloping a gargantuan 422-foot dinger to right field off Rays reliever Shawn Armstrong in the sixth inning. It was his lone hit of the contest, but he also drew a pair of walks as well. The 27-year-old backstop remains a liability in the batting average department, but he’s up to 14 big flies already and is on pace for his second consecutive 30-homer campaign.

  • Yandy Díaz collects RBI in eighth straight game
    Yandy Díaz went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday in the Rays’ loss to the Mariners.

The 32-year-old on-base machine has caught fire over the last few weeks, batting .353 (24-for-68) with three homers and 11 RBI over his last 15 games. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago

  • Homers, drives in four
    Marsh went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run, four RBI in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Marsh snapped a career-long home run drought in a big way on Wednesday. It was his first home run since April 26th, snapping a streak of 36 games without a blast. Marsh became the first Phillies player to go 4-for-4 or better with four RBI since Maikel Franco in 2016. The 26-year-old is hitting .269/.345/.425 with seven home runs and 31 RBI.

  • Connor Wong (paternity) expected back on Friday
    Red Sox’ manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Connor Wong is expected to return from the paternity list on Friday.

    Advice: The hard-hitting backstop missed the first half of the week to attend the birth of his child, but expect him to be right back behind the dish for Friday’s series opener against the Padres. The 28-year-old backstop has been a force at the plate this season, slashing .330/.390/.480 with seven homers, 29 RBI and three stolen bases in 223 plate appearances. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago

  • Sitting amidst slump
    Torres is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: Torres was hitless Tuesday versus the Mets for the second game in a row and also made an error at second base. He's just 2-for-29 at the dish over his last nine tilts and will get a day to clear his head. Oswaldo Cabrera will be at second base. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Exits rehab game with injury
    Mitchell (finger) was removed from Wednesday's rehab game with Triple-A Nashville with an apparent left hamstring injury, Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic reports.

    Advice: Mitchell appeared to grab at the hamstring following a swing in the ninth inning of the contest. He is on a rehab assignment while coming back from a fractured finger and had seemed close to returning, but the hamstring injury could now delay things. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago

  • Leaves with apparent injury
    Ortiz was removed from Wednesday's game versus the Rangers in the bottom of the sixth inning with an apparent injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. He went hitless in two at-bats before leaving the game.

    Advice: Ortiz ran into the tarp while chasing after a pop-up in the top of the sixth, and though he initially stayed in the game, he was lifted in favor of a pinch hitter in the bottom of the frame. It's not clear yet what injury Ortiz might be dealing with, but the Brewers should offer more clarity soon. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago

  • Candelario dealing with hamstring tendinitis
    Reds’ manager David Bell told reporters that Jeimer Candelario was held out of the team’s starting lineup on Wednesday due to hamstring tendinitis.

    Advice: The injury isn’t believed to be serious, and sounds like something the 30-year-old slugger has been dealing with for a while. He’s considered day-to-day. On the season, Candelario is slashing a respectable .245/.298/.480 with 14 homers, 39 RBI and three stolen bases. Rotoworld 56 minutes ago
