  • Resting Wednesday
    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: He'll get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon game after starting behind the plate both of the past two days while going 4-for-9 with two doubles and three runs. Luke Maile will get the starting nod behind the plate in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
     
  • Getting rest day
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Grandal will take a seat for the day game after he started behind the plate in both of the previous two nights, going 1-for-7 with a home run. Joey Bart will replace Grandal on Wednesday as the Pirates' starting catcher. Rotowire.com Today, 10:03 am
     
  • Sitting again Wednesday
    Bethancourt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Bethancourt will sit for the second day in a row while Nick Fortes receives another turn behind the plate. Neither Bethancourt (.349 OPS) nor Fortes (.336 OPS) has been productive at the plate this season and both typically bat near the bottom of the order when included in the lineup, making it difficult to extract any fantasy value from the Marlins' catching situation.

  • Heading to bench Wednesday
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Rogers will take a seat for the day game after he caught all 10 innings of Tuesday night's 1-0 loss while going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. Carson Kelly will replace him behind the dish in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 7:11 am
     
  • Mitch Garver day-to-day with back spasms
    Mitch Garver is day-to-day with upper back spasms.

    Advice: Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters late Tuesday that Garver was scratched shortly before first pitch out of an abundance of caution since they were already shorthanded with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the bench. It doesn’t sound like a major concern moving forward, but given Garver’s struggles, it wouldn’t be a total shock to see him head to the injured list for a bit of an extended mental reset.

  • Battling back spasms
    Garver was scratched from Seattle's lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against Kansas City due to upper-back spasms, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 33-year-old backstop missed a few games in March due to back spasms, though manager Scott Servais said Garver's current injury is unrelated to his previous issue. No timeline was given for his return, but it's possible the M's hold him out for a game or two in order to allow him to properly recover. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:35 pm

  • Caratini drives in winning run vs. Athletics
    Victor Caratini went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Caratini was called on to pinch hit for Mauricio Dubón in the 10th inning and laced a two-strike breaking ball back up the middle for a hit to drive in Trey Cabbage from third. It was the second walk-off hit for Caratini on the season, as the veteran catcher has come up clutch for the Astros on a handful of occasions early on. Despite the clutch hit, Caratini is hitting .158 on the month and .259 on the season. He shouldn’t be counted on in fantasy at this time. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:33 pm
