    • Departs 40-man roster
      The Reds designated Burdick for assignment Friday.

      Advice: Burdick was claimed off waivers by Cincinnati on April 24 but was never called up to the big-league roster. He slashed .180/.279/.327 across 172 plate appearances with Triple-A Louisville and will likely remain in the Reds' organization if he clears waivers. Austin Wynns will take Burdick's spot on the 40-man roster. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:06 pm
       
    • Reds designate OF Peyton Burdick for assignment
      Reds designated OF Peyton Burdick for assignment.

      Advice: Burdick was hitting just .190/.298/.361 in 43 games for Triple-A Louisville after opening the season with the Orioles’ Triple-A affiliate and hitting .182/.333/.455 there. He still has impressive power, but it doesn’t look like it’ll ever make up for his contact issues. Rotoworld Friday, 1:00 pm
       
    • Eddie Rosario returns to Nationals lineup Friday
      Eddie Rosario is back in the Nationals’ starting lineup as the DH and No. 5 hitter on Friday.

      Advice: Rosario sat against a righty on Wednesday, and with the announcement that fellow left-handed hitter James Wood is coming up Monday, Rosario seems like the obvious choice to get bumped from the Nationals roster. Until that’s official, though, it looks like he’ll get a chance to show he’s worth keeping around. Rosario has a dreadful .181/.226/.330 line this season, but it actually comes with the best hard-hit rate of his career at 45.5%. His average exit velocity of 90.6 mph is 2.5 mph better than his career mark. Rotoworld Friday, 12:28 pm

    • Exits starting nine
      Schneider is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Spencer Horwitz will handle second base and Addison Barger will be in left field for the Blue Jays. Schneider is slashing just .171/.229/.316 in June. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:14 pm
       
    • Filling in for Varsho again
      Kiermaier will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Kiermaier will pick up his fifth consecutive start Wednesday, though Daulton Varsho is on the bench with a back injury for a fourth day in a row. The 34-year-old Kiermaier at least showed some signs of life at the plate with a three-hit performance in Tuesday's 9-4 win, and another strong game Wednesday could put him back in the mix for more playing time in the outfield even after Varsho returns. Varsho could slide over to left field to make room for Kiermaier in center on a more frequent basis if the Blue Jays choose to scale back the playing time of Davis Schneider, who is hitting .135 dating back to June 6.

    • Exits rehab game with injury
      Mitchell (finger) was removed from Wednesday's rehab game with Triple-A Nashville with an apparent left hamstring injury, Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic reports.

      Advice: Mitchell appeared to grab at the hamstring following a swing in the ninth inning of the contest. He is on a rehab assignment while coming back from a fractured finger and had seemed close to returning, but the hamstring injury could now delay things. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:09 pm
       
    • Sitting amid slump
      Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Rosario typically hits the bench against left-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Wednesday while a righty (Dylan Cease) toes the rubber for the Padres. Despite seeing limited exposure to same-handed pitching, Rosario has fallen into a slump at the plate lately, going 6-for-41 while failing to draw a walk in any of his last 12 games. The Nationals added another option at designated hitter to the roster Tuesday in Harold Ramirez, who is in the lineup Wednesday and could challenge Rosario for the top spot on the depth chart.

    • Eddie Rosario on bench against right-hander
      Even though the Nationals are facing a righty, Eddie Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Padres.

      Advice: It’s just the third time this year that he hasn’t started against a righty. After a fine May, Rosario has slumped again of late, going 7-for-45 with no homers or walks in his last 13 games. Because of a brutal April, he’s at just .181/.226/.330 overall. Harold Ramírez is starting in his place today. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:34 am

    • Getting fifth straight start
      Loperfido will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Loperfido will stick in the starting nine for a fifth straight game after going 4-for-13 with two doubles, one walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run through his first four games since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Sugar Land. Houston has room in its everyday outfield for both Loperfido and Chas McCormick for the moment, but one of the two will likely lose out on playing time once Kyle Tucker (shin) makes his return from the 10-day injured list, perhaps as soon as next week.
