  • Moves up to big leagues
    The Royals recalled Veneziano from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

    Advice: He'll join the Royals ahead of Thursday's series finale with the Yankees to provide the big club with a fresh arm out of the bullpen. Veneziano has made two prior relief appearances with Kansas City but has otherwise served as a swingman for Omaha this season, logging a 3.38 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 30:19 K:BB across 37.1 innings covering 17 outings (five starts) at Triple-A.

  • Bowing out against righty
    Suwinski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Suwinski has mostly served as a strong-side platoon outfielder since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on June 4, but he'll step out of the lineup Wednesday against Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray. Michael Taylor will replace Suwinski in center field. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:55 pm
     
  • Checking out of lineup Wednesday
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Though he'll take a seat against a right-hander (Sonny Gray), the lefty-hitting Tellez seems to have a firmer grasp on a strong-side platoon role these days while he's begun to heat up at the plate. Over his last six games, Tellez has gone 9-for-19 with a home run, three doubles, two walks, seven RBI and three runs. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:52 pm
     
  • Returns from IL
    The White Sox reinstated Benintendi (Achilles) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

    Advice: Benintendi will return to action following a minimum-length stay on the IL. He completed a pair of rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League prior to being activated, going 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored. Though he'll be available for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Benintendi won't start, as the White Sox will instead hand Corey Julks the nod in left field. Benintendi should slide back into an everyday role beginning with Thursday's series finale in Seattle. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:10 pm
     
  • Set to return Wednesday
    Benintendi (Achilles) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game versus the Mariners, Daryl Van Schowen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Benintendi played two rehab games with the White Sox's rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate and went 3-for-5 with one home run and two walks. The left Achilles tendinitis that sent Benintendi to the IL at the beginning of June no longer appears to be a concern, so he should regain his role as the team's everyday left fielder.

  • Andrew Benintendi returns to White Sox’ lineup
    White Sox activated OF Andrew Benintendi from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder will return to the White Sox’ lineup for Wednesday night’s battle against the Mariners in Seattle. Before landing on the injured list with left Achilles tendinitis in early June, Benintendi had been hitting just .195/.230/.284 with four homers, 18 RBI and a pair of stolen bases through his first 200 plate appearances on the season. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:32 pm
     
  • Jack Suwinski sitting versus RHP on Wednesday
    Jack Suwinski is not in the Pirates starting lineup on Wednesday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: The Cardinals are starting right-hander Sonny Gray, so Suwinski’s commission is notable. The 25-year-old is getting a chance to regain a spot in the Pirates’ outfield with Ji Hwan Bae on the IL, but he’s just 3-for-21 since returning with a home run and two RBI. He’ll need to do better if he wants to avoid being sent back to the minors. Michael A Taylor will start in his place on Wednesday. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:01 pm
     
  • Re-entering starting lineup
    Meneses will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Meneses had been on the bench for each of the Nationals' previous three games, but he'll get the first opportunity to enter the lineup in place of Joey Gallo (hamstring), who landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. After turning in a .722 OPS in his first full season in the big leagues in 2023, Meneses has taken a big step back thus far in 2024, slashing just .232/.292/.296 with a miniscule .064 ISO across 226 plate appearances.
