  • Battling knee soreness
    Sano was removed from Wednesday's game versus Baltimore due to left knee soreness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: It's unclear what exactly caused Sano's knee to start acting up on him, but he was replaced at third base prior to the sixth inning nonetheless. More information on his knee may come after the game, but if his injury is minor, the Angels' off day Thursday could allow the 30-year-old infielder to return without missing any games.

  • Gets maintenance day
    Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Turner's absence from the lineup looks to be nothing more than a routine maintenance day after the 39-year-old had started in each of the Blue Jays' last nine games. Daniel Vogelbach will fill in for Turner as Toronto's designated hitter. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • Hits bench Wednesday
    Rivera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Rivera will head to the bench after he started in each of the past six games at either corner-infield spot while going 5-for-19 with an RBI and a run. Josh Bell will draw the start at first base, while Vidal Brujan covers third base in the series finale. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Nolan Jones (back) remains out of Rockies lineup
    Nolan Jones (back) remains out of the Rockies’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s battle against the Padres.

    Advice: The 25-year-old outfielder was pulled from Tuesday’s contest due to stiffness in his back. He’s considered day-to-day. Jake Cave will start in his place in left field and bat eighth against Padres’ knuckleballer Matt Waldron. Rotoworld 53 minutes ago

  • Held out of Wednesday's lineup
    Jones (back) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres.

    Advice: Jones was removed from Tuesday's contest with back stiffness. It looks to be a day-to-day injury, but with an afternoon game coming Thursday ahead of Friday's off day, the Rockies could elect to hold Jones out of action until Saturday. Jake Cave is getting a start in left field Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:03 pm

  • Promoted by Colorado
    The Rockies recalled Goodman from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

    Advice: Goodman has crushed the ball at Albuqueque this season, slashing .298/.352/.690 with seven home runs and 10 doubles over 20 games. The 24-year-old managed just a .632 OPS in 23 games with the big club last season but has put up big power numbers throughout the minors. It's not clear how much playing time the Rockies plan to give Goodman, but he is worth a speculative add in deeper leagues in hopes that he gets regular reps in right field and/or at first base.

  • Sent down to minors
    The Rockies optioned Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

    Advice: Toglia is being sent out in favor of Hunter Goodman. The 25-year-old has slashed just .106/.143/.362 with a 20:1 K:BB over 15 games with the big club this season. Rotowire.com Today, 1:44 pm

  • Shifting to right field
    Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Wednesday that Gallo will play right field while Lane Thomas (knee) is sidelined, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Prior to his start in right field Wednesday, Gallo had not made a start in the outfield this season, as the Nats have been keeping him at first base. Gallo has won multiple Gold Gloves for his defensive work in the outfield, though, so he's a sensible solution in right field. Trey Lipscomb is slated to see ample action at first base, while Joey Meneses will also be an option there. Rotowire.com Today, 1:29 pm

  • Rockies recall Hunter Goodman from Triple-A
    Rockies recalled INF/OF Hunter Goodman from Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Advice: Goodman, 24, was off to a nice start at Triple-A — slashing .298/.352/.691 with seven homers and 22 RBI in his first 20 ballgames. The Rockies are hoping that he can carry over that performance and inject some life into a struggling offense. Michael Toglia was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
