    • Set to open Wednesday's game
      Sanchez is scheduled to start Wednesday's game in Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The 25-year-old right-hander will be making his first MLB start since Oct. 8, 2020, when he faced Atlanta in Game 3 of the National League Division Series. After missing most of the ensuing three seasons while recovering from shoulder problems, Sanchez has been healthy thus far in 2024 while operating in a relief role for Miami, producing a 6.14 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 7.1 innings. He hasn't recorded more than six outs in any of his seven appearances, so Sanchez shouldn't be expected to work more than two or three innings before turning the game over to the bullpen. If Miami doesn't add another pitcher to its active roster ahead of Wednesday's contest, Kyle Tyler -- who has yet to make his 2024 MLB debut but covered 3.1 innings in his last appearance for Triple-A Jacksonville on April 14 -- would appear to be the most logical option to work behind Sanchez in bulk relief.

    • In Wednesday's lineup
      Contreras (hand) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: He made an early exit from Tuesday's loss to Arizona with lingering left hand soreness, although Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said afterward that Contreras' removal had more to do with the lopsided score. Contreras intends to continue playing through discomfort but might see more reps at DH than catcher, opening up starts behind the plate for Ivan Herrera. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
    • Sitting against lefty
      Burleson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: While his path to regular playing time against right-handed pitching has opened up a bit with Jordan Walker getting optioned to Triple-A Memphis earlier Wednesday, the lefty-hitting Burleson is still projected to sit regularly against lefties. Burleson's absence from the lineup Wednesday thus comes as little surprise with southpaw Jordan Montgomery on the hill for Arizona. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

    • Joins team in Washington
      Lipscomb has joined the Nationals in case he needs to replace Lane Thomas (knee) on the roster, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: Thomas is getting an MRI on his left knee after exiting Tuesday's game against the Dodgers and the anticipation is that he will require a trip to the injured list. Lipscomb put up a .563 OPS with one home run and four stolen bases over 14 games with the Nats earlier this month. He could see action at third base if the club elects to use Nick Senzel some in the outfield or in the designated hitter spot. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
    • Resuming rehab assignment
      Gibaut (forearm) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Gibaut experienced renewed discomfort in his forearm following his most recent rehab appearance April 16, but fortunately for the right-hander, a week off was seemingly all he needed to bounce back from the setback. Since opening the season on the 15-day injured list, Gibaut has made five rehab appearances between Louisville and High-A Dayton, giving up five earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4.1 innings.

    • Likely headed to injured list
      Nationals president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo said Wednesday in an interview on 106.7 The Fan that he anticipates Thomas (knee) going on the injured list, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: There's no word yet on the results of the MRI on Thomas' left knee, but it sounds like he's bound for the IL even if the club gets good news. Thomas was injured during Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers while stealing second base in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old has started every game in right field for the Nationals this season. Joey Gallo has seen his playing time slip a bit recently but might get some run in right with Thomas out. Trey Lipscomb is expected to take Thomas' spot on the roster. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

    • Cardinals recall John King from Triple-A
      Cardinals recalled John King from Triple-A Memphis.

      Advice: The 29-year-old hurler made two appearances with the Cardinals this season and allowed one earned run and struck out four batters across 2 1/3 innings. Expect King to be up-and-down as the team manages its day-to-day roster. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
    • Cardinals option Zack Thompson to Triple-A
      Cardinals optioned Zack Thompson to Triple-A Memphis.

      Advice: Thompson will head back to the minors after making five appearances (two starts) for St. Louis this season. The 26-year-old posted a 9.53 ERA, 1.88 WHIP with a 20/8 K/BB ratio across his 17 innings of work. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
    • Cardinals recall José Fermín from Triple-A
      Cardinals recalled INF José Fermín from Triple-A Memphis.

      Advice: Fermín is the beneficiary of the Cardinals’ decision to send Jordan Walker to the minors. The 25-year-old has put together a solid season at the Triple-A level with a 1.108 OPS with four homers and 10 RBI in his 72 plate appearances. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
