  • Luis Rengifo undergoing MRI on right wrist
    Luis Rengifo is out of the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Athletics with right wrist soreness.

    Advice: X-rays came back negative for any fractures after Rengifo left Wednesday’s game against the Athletics with right hand soreness following a ninth-inning swing. However, he’s slated to undergo an MRI on Friday in Chicago to determine the extent of the injury, specifically whether he’s dealing with any structural damage. There should be an update on his status in the coming days, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back until the weekend, even if he checks out completely fine. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:02 pm

  • Marcus Semien getting a day off on Thursday
    Marcus Semien is not in the Rangers’ lineup on Thursday.

    Advice: It’s a rare off day for Semien, who has played all 162 games in three of the last four non-COVID seasons and played 161 games in the other year. However, the day off might be needed as Semien has been struggling at the dish of late. Jonathan Ornelas still start at second and bat ninth. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:00 am

  • On bench against lefty
    Schneeman is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Schneeman started the previous three games and went 3-for-10 with a double and a homer, but he'll sit Thursday as southpaw Jared Shuster takes the mound for Chicago. Angel Martinez will handle center field and bat second. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:48 am
     
  • Taking BP with Double-A affiliate
    Edman (wrist) will take live batting practice Friday and Saturday at Double-A Springfield, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: If that goes well, Edman should be cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Springfield. Edman was recently set back a few days by a sprained ankle, but that appears to be a non-issue now. The Cardinals had been hoping to get Edman back prior to the All-Star break, but it's possible the little hiccup with the ankle last week will convince the club to push Edman's return back until the start of the second half. He's been out all season while recovering from wrist surgery. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:30 am

  • Rare day off amidst slump
    Semien is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: It's just the second day off of the season for Semien, who has managed just two hits over his last 36 at-bats. Jonathan Ornelas will handle second base for the Rangers on Thursday while Semien receives some much-needed rest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:53 am
