    • Pete Fairbanks closes out Marlins on Wednesday
      Pete Fairbanks slammed the door on the Marlins in the ninth inning on Wednesday, preserving a two-run lead to earn his eighth save of the season.

      Advice: The 30-year-old right-hander made quick work of the Marlins in this one, getting Dane Myers on a swinging third strike, Tim Anderson on a ground ball to shortstop and Vidal Brujan on a line drive to center to end it. He needed just 11 pitches (10 strikes) to dispatch of the Fish. On the season, Fairbanks now sports a 3.32 ERA to go with a 22/10 K/BB ratio over 19 innings on the season.

    • Braxton Garrett pummeled in loss to Rays
      Braxton Garrett was pummeled in Wednesday’s loss to the Rays, giving up five runs on six hits across his 2 2/3 innings of work.

      Advice: The 26-year-old southpaw punched out three batters on the night while issuing one free pass. The Rays jumped on him for three runs in the opening inning on RBI doubles by Isaac Paredes and Josh Lowe. They then pushed across another pair while chasing Garrett in the third inning. He got nine swings and misses on just 53 pitches in the ballgame — five on his slider — while posting a strong CSW of 34 percent. He’ll attempt to improve upon his uninspiring 5.81 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 24/4 K/BB ratio (26 1/3 innings) when he takes on the Mets in New York on Wednesday. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:03 pm
       
    • Sitting down Wednesday
      Garver isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Garver appeared to break out of his slump Sunday with a 2-for-4 performance against the Angels, but he will now get a breather following Tuesday's 0-for-3 outing. Mitch Haniger will fill in as Seattle's designated hitter while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:26 pm
       
    • Absent from lineup
      Hays is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto.

      Advice: Hays went 3-for-7 with two home runs and a double in the first two games of the series, but he'll be given a breather for Wednesday's contest. Kyle Stowers will take over as the Orioles' starting left fielder. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:14 pm

    • Blake Snell’s MRI reveals mild groin strain
      An MRI showed only a mild groin strain for Blake Snell, according to Giants manager Bob Melvin.

      Advice: It sounds like this will be a shorter absence than the month-long one he had just returned from. He will miss at least two starts after being placed on the injured list Monday. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:25 am
       
    • MRI shows mild groin strain
      Snell was diagnosed Wednesday with a mild left groin strain following an MRI, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

      Advice: The Giants expect to have a better idea Thursday as to a potential timetable for Snell to return to the mound, but the initial imaging seems to have revealed relatively good news. Snell's tenure with the Giants has gotten off to a rocky start, as he's posted a 9.51 ERA in five starts and has made a pair of trips to the injured list. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:22 am
       
    • Exits starting nine
      Marte is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Giants.

      Advice: Marte had started each of the previous 18 contests for the Diamondbacks but will receive some rest during Wednesday's afternoon tilt. Blaze Alexander will cover second base for Marte. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:15 am
       
    • Sitting out Wednesday
      Murphy (elbow) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

      Advice: Murphy departed Tuesday's 8-3 win after being struck on the right elbow by a pitch. X-rays came back negative, and Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the swelling on the elbow has mostly subsided. Murphy could be ready to go as soon as Thursday, but Travis d'Arnaud will fill in at catcher for Atlanta on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:41 am

    • On base four times in win
      Marte went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Giants.

      Advice: Marte notched three hits for the second time over his last three games and for the seventh time this season. He now has at least a hit in five of his last six games and boasts a 4:3 BB:K over that span as well. For the year, the 30-year-old is slashing .278/.337/.502 with 12 homers, 32 RBI, 40 runs and a 21:51 BB:K in 270 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:59 am
