  • 64-49-7 3rd Place
    • Drives in two
      Schuemann went 1-for-2 with an RBI double and a sacrifice fly Wednesday against the Angels.

      Advice: Schuemann hadn't logged an RBI since June 1 and drove in multiple runs for just the third time all season. Still, his productive day could've been even better, but Kyle McCann was called out at home due to runner's interference on Schuemann's second-inning double, preventing an additional RBI. Operating as the Athletics' everyday shortstop, Schuemann is batting 14-for-69 (.203) with a 27.8 percent strikeout rate in June. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:04 pm
       
    • Luis Matos collects two hits, homers vs. Cubs
      Luis Matos went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in the Giants’ 4-3 win against the Cubs on Wednesday.

      Advice: Matos was recalled after Mike Yastrzemski hit the injured list last week. He’s collected at least one hit in all four starts, including a solo homer in the fifth inning off of Drew Smyly on Wednesday. The 22-year-old outfielder is slashing .253/.272/.374 with three homers and 21 RBI across 103 plate appearances. Given his bat-to-ball skills and improved hard-hit rate, he should get a chance to continue improving on his .253 BABIP and could be relevant in five-outfielder leagues.

    • Takes seat after poor game Tuesday
      Torres is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

      Advice: For the second game in a row, Torres was held hitless Tuesday in the Yankees' 9-7 loss, leaving him in a 2-for-29 slump at the dish over his last nine games. To make matters worse, Torres committed an error at second base and also didn't run out a grounder at full speed in the eighth inning, with the latter play not escaping manager Aaron Boone's attention, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Boone indicated that Torres is doing OK physically, but the skipper thought a day on the bench could be beneficial for the 27-year-old while he's in the midst of a rough patch. Oswaldo Cabrera will pick up the start at second base in place of Torres. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:16 pm
       
    • Gleyber Torres (groin) absent from lineup
      Gleyber Torres, who complained of groin tightness after Tuesday’s game, is out of Wednesday’s lineup.

      Advice: Torres was criticized for missing a grounder and not hustling to first last night, though the groin seemed to explain the latter and Aaron Boone seemed more concerned about the former. Oswaldo Cabrera is playing second base tonight. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:01 pm
       
    • Getting afternoon off
      Gelof is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: Gelof will miss out on a start for the first time since June 16, when he was on the bench for the front end of a doubleheader with the Twins. While Gelof receives a breather, Armando Alvarez will be rewarded with a second straight start in the Oakland infield after banging out three hits in his first MLB start in Tuesday's 7-5 loss.

    • Receiving afternoon off
      Langeliers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: Langeliers will get a breather after he had started behind the plate in each of the Athletics' previous three contests. Kyle McCann will step in at catcher, forming a battery with right-hander Joey Estes. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:28 am
       
    • Nabs fourth steal
      McNeil went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

      Advice: It's the 32-year-old's first multi-hit performance since June 9, with McNeil batting a brutal .088 (3-for-34) in between. The career .291 hitter is slashing just .216/.281/.298 on the season, and his lengthy slump -- as well as a hot start to Jose Iglesias' Mets tenure -- has put McNeil's playing time in a bit of jeopardy. He may need to string together a few more solid efforts to avoid losing his hold on even a strong-side platoon role at second base. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:22 am

    • Exiting lineup Wednesday
      Isbel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins.

      Advice: Isbel missed a couple contests over the weekend with a back issue, but his absence Wednesday looks to be a routine day off after he had started both of the first two games of the series. Garrett Hampson will patrol center field for the Royals. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:15 am
       
    • Will Benson left out of lineup against right-hander
      Will Benson is out of the lineup against a right-hander for the first time this season Wednesday against the Pirates.

      Advice: We’re not sure yet if this is strictly performance related or if it has something to do with the bruised elbow he suffered when he was hit by a pitch Sunday; he left that game due to the injury, but he was able to play last night. Benson is currently in an 0-for-25 slump that’s dropped his season line to .188/.282/.372. With Benson absent, Liván Soto is making his Reds debut as a DH today. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:14 am
