  • Yankees transfer Anthony Rizzo to 60-day IL
    Yankees transferred 1B Anthony Rizzo to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: The Yankees needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for the return of Gerrit Cole on Wednesday, and the easiest move was to shift Rizzo to the 60-day IL. The 34-year-old is dealing with a right forearm fracture and is expected to be sidelined for the next two months. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:18 pm

  • Idle versus southpaw
    Cabbage isn't in the Astros' lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Cabbage will take a seat Wednesday as the lefty-throwing Garrett Crochet starts on the mound for the White Sox. Cooper Hummel, Jake Meyers and Chas McCormick will make up Houston's outfield while Cabbage rests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:20 pm

  • Sitting against lefty
    Singleton isn't in the Astros' lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Left-hander Garrett Crochet will start on the hill for Chicago, so the lefty-hitting Singleton will retreat to the bench. Mauricio Dubon will slide over to first base instead, opening up left field for Cooper Hummel. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:17 pm

  • Goes yard twice in loss
    Harper went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.

    Advice: The 31-year-old slugger supplied all the Phillies' offense on the afternoon, taking Matt Waldron deep in the third inning before pulling a Jeremiah Estrada splitter down the right-field line in the eighth. Harper has caught fire in June, hitting safely in 10 of the last 11 games while batting .372 (16-for-43). The surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .285/.391/.539 with 17 homers, four steals, 45 runs and 48 RBI in 69 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:07 pm
     
  • Losing out on work with France back
    Locklear is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Locklear has stuck around with the Mariners following Ty France's (heel) return from the injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Cleveland, but the rookie looks like he'll be in store for a drastic role reduction now that Seattle's top first baseman is back in action. After batting .222 with two home runs and a stolen base while starting in seven of the Mariners' subsequent eight games following his June 9 promotion from Triple-A Tacoma, Locklear now finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row.

  • Bryce Harper clobbers two solo homers in loss
    Bryce Harper launched two solo homers on Wednesday in the Phillies’ loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Harper connected on a center-cut sinker from Padres knuckleballer Matt Waldron, clobbering a game-tying no-doubter to left-center field in the third inning. He capped off his 27th career multi-homer performance by taking San Diego reliever Jeremiah Estrada out to right field in the eighth inning. The 31-year-old fantasy superstar is up to 17 round-trippers on the season after notching his first multi-homer effort since a three-homer explosion back on April 2.

  • Set for rehab assignment
    Clemens (back) will begin a rehab assignment later this week, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Gelb notes that Clemens is set to receive regular reps in left field while on his rehab assignment. It's a position he's played a little bit both in the majors and minors, and it now looks like his best path to playing time in the majors with Brandon Marsh slated to see most of his starts in center field following Johan Rojas' demotion to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Clemens has been out since early June with lower-back spasms. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:09 am
     
  • Kody Clemens (back) to go on rehab assignment
    Kody Clemens, out since May 31 with back spasms, is expected to begin a rehab assignment later this week.

    Advice: According to The Athletic’s Matt Gelb, the Phillies play to play Clemens regularly in left field during his time in the minors. He was a nice surprise in limited action for the Phillies before getting hurt, batting .256/.293/.615 in 41 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:06 am
     
  • Smacks homer Tuesday
    Donovan went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Donovan has gone 15-for-51 (.294) over his last 13 games, adding two homers and seven RBI in that span. The 27-year-old got a rare start at third base Tuesday with Nolan Arenado taking a day off, though Donovan has found consistent playing time between left field and second base for much of the year. He's at a .247/.319/.380 slash line with six homers, 32 RBI, 32 runs scored and one stolen base over 67 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:56 am
