  • Starting at shortstop Wednesday
    Brujan will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Brujan had been set to get the day off, but he'll be pressed into the starting nine at shortstop after Tim Anderson (thumb) was scratched from the lineup. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

  • Matt Vierling homers, knocks in three runs
    Matt Vierling went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a sac fly against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

    Advice: The homer was on a truly awful curveball from Miles Mikolas. That was the third hardest-hit ball of the game. His first-inning single was the second hardest at 109.9 mph, trailing only a Willson Contreras homer. Vierling has always shown ample power, but he’s lifting the ball more often this year and he’s off to a nice start at .282/.311/.447. The Tigers will likely want to keep him in the lineup regularly after Gio Urshela returns. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

  • Nolan Gorman goes 0-for-3 against Tigers
    Nolan Gorman went 0-for-3 in the loss to the Tigers on Wednesday, dropping his average to .190.

    Advice: Statcast thinks Gorman has been fairly unlucky, but his strikeout rate remains terrible and he’s not hitting the ball hard as consistently as he did last year. The Cardinals should stick with him for now, but they might consider sending him down if he’s still not hitting once Tommy Edman returns. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

  • Angels place Miguel Sanó (knee) on 10-day IL
    Angels placed INF Miguel Sanó on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 28, with left knee inflammation.

    Advice: The Angels had been playing a man down while the 30-year-old slugger was hobbled by a knee injury, but they simply couldn’t do it any longer. Willie Calhoun had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake to take his place on the active roster. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago

  • Placed on IL with knee injury
    The Angels placed Sano on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with left knee inflammation.

    Advice: Sano has missed most of the last week with the injury, and the Angels finally decided to deactivate him. He will be eligible to return from the IL next week, but it's not clear yet whether he's expected to make it back by that time. Willie Calhoun was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding movfe and could see some starts at designated hitter, although the Halos might filter through multiple players in the spot.

  • Moves to bench Wednesday
    Brujan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Tim Anderson (thumb) returning to action following a one-game absence, Brujan will head to the bench after filling in as Miami's starting shortstop in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win. Before Tuesday, Brujan had started three of the Marlins' previous four games at third base, and he'll continue to vie with Emmanuel Rivera for playing time at that position until Jake Burger (oblique) returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • Fills in for resting Bogaerts
    Wade will start at second base and bat ninth Wednesday against the Reds.

    Advice: Wade will stay in the starting nine for the second straight day, but his run of regular playing time at third base against right-handed pitching has come to an end with Manny Machado having recently been cleared to play defense after he had been deployed exclusively at designated hitter for much of the first month of the season. With Machado likely to start at third base more often than not, Wade looks poised to serve as a utility man moving forward. Wade will pick up his first start of the season at second base while Xander Bogaerts receives a day off. Rotowire.com Today, 11:59 am

  • Multi-hit effort in Tuesday's win
    Toro went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: JJ Bleday stole the spotlight for the suddenly surging Athletics with his pair of home runs, but Toro turned in a noteworthy performance while playing a bit of small ball. The 27-year-old extended his hitting streak to five games in the process, a stretch during which he's laced a trio of two-baggers and has boosted his average 39 points to .250.

  • Sits against lefty
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: With southpaw Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the bench. Luis Urias will draw the start at third base in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 11:19 am
