    • Nick Loftin gets start at third base Wednesday
      Nick Loftin is in the lineup as the Royals’ third baseman Wednesday against the Marlins.

      Advice: Loftin was serving as the Royals’ starting second baseman until Monday, when Michael Massey’s return as a DH and CJ Alexander’s promotion resulted in Maikel Garcia moving to second and Loftin hitting the bench. Loftin is back out there today, but he’s playing Garcia’s old spot, with Garcia remaining at second. At this rate, it’s easy to imagine Loftin getting sent back to Triple-A when Massey is deemed ready to return to the field or when Adam Frazier comes off the IL, whichever happens first.

    • Scoreless frame in rehab debut
      Muller (shoulder) fired a scoreless inning during Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Sacramento on Tuesday, allowing a hit and recording a strikeout.

      Advice: Muller kicked off his rehab assignment in solid fashion, successfully working around a single and getting through his one frame on 10 pitches. The left-hander is due to make multiple appearances for the Aviators before activation is considered, although he may not need more than a couple of more outings considering he won't need to build up much as a result of his relief role.

    • Throws bullpen Tuesday
      Stripling (elbow) was able to complete a bullpen session before Tuesday's game against the Angels and is set to throw another Saturday, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The veteran right-hander came away feeling healthy from Tuesday's activity, and he's expected to throw 30-35 pitches in his session Saturday. Assuming that bullpen also goes off without a hitch, Stripling could be deemed ready to face hitters at some point during the subsequent week. Rotowire.com Today, 8:47 am
       
    • Resting for day game
      Anderson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: The veteran shortstop will take a seat Wednesday while the Marlins wrap up their series in Kansas City with a day game after a night game. Vidal Brujan will step in as the Marlins' starting shortstop in Anderson's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 8:44 am
       
    • Kyle Muller (shoulder) begins rehab assignment
      Kyle Muller opened a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas by throwing a scoreless innings Tuesday.

      Advice: Muller has missed a month with left shoulder tendinitis. We’ve yet to hear whether the A’s intend to stretch him out before bringing him back to the majors. He was used exclusively as a reliever before getting hurt, but he topped out at 5 1/3 innings and threw four (on one day of rest!) in his last outing before going on the IL.

    • Gary Sánchez scratched Tuesday with calf tightness
      Gary Sánchez was scratched from Tuesday’s lineup due to left calf tightness.

      Advice: It sounds like a precautionary move by the Brewers as it’ll be William Contreras handling the catching duties instead on Tuesday night. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:15 pm
       
    • Scratched with calf tightness
      Sanchez was scratched from the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers due to left calf tightness, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

      Advice: The veteran slugger was penciled in as Milwaukee's designated hitter, but he'll instead hit the bench due to the injury. Sanchez should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale versus Texas, which is followed by a team day off Thursday. Rhys Hoskins will now serve as the DH on Tuesday while Jake Bauers starts at first base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Rangers recall Cole Winn, place him on IL
      Rangers placed RHP Cole Winn on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 18, with right shoulder sprain, voiding his option to Triple-A Round Rock.

      Advice: Winn was sent down after pitching on back-to-back days June 16-17 and giving up four runs in three innings of work. He complained of the shoulder issue after reporting to Triple-A, and now he’ll collect major league service time while working his way back. Rotoworld Monday, 6:11 pm
       
    • Placed on major-league 15-day IL
      The Rangers rescinded Winn's option to Triple-A Round Rock and placed him on the 15-day injured list Monday with right shoulder discomfort, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Winn appears to have suffered the shoulder injury in his most recent appearance with the Rangers on June 17 against the Mets. He was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, but that move is now void after his placement on the IL. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:22 pm
