    • Lifts fourth homer
      Urias went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

      Advice: Urias went deep in the fifth inning for his first homer since June 3. The infielder has hit safely in his last six games, going 8-for-23 (.348) in that span. He had to settle for a utility role early in the year, but he's been staking a larger claim with strong hitting in June. For the season, Urias is slashing .252/.298/.421 with four homers, 10 RBI, 15 runs scored and no stolen bases over 114 plate appearances. He may be set for a short-term bump in playing time if Jordan Westburg (hip) has to sit out more games following his injury Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:12 pm
       
    • Abraham Toro (shoulder) not in lineup Wednesday
      Abraham Toro (shoulder) is not in the Athletics’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

      Advice: Toro has apparently been battling a sore shoulder since Sunday’s doubleheader. The Athletics are hopeful that he’ll be able to avoid a stint on the injured list, but if this goes on for another couple of days they may need to change their stance. Tyler Nevin will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat fifth for the A’s against Cole Ragans and the Royals on Wednesday evening. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:15 pm

    • Brewers option Oliver Dunn to Triple-A Nashville
      Brewers optioned INF Oliver Dunn to Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: The 26-year-old infielder has struggled in his time with the Brewers this season, hitting just .221/.282/.216 with one homer, seven RBI, three swipes and a 40/6 K/BB ratio over 104 plate appearances. He’ll see if he can get back track while playing every day at Triple-A. Tyler Black was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:34 pm
       
    • Brewers recall Tyler Black from Triple-A Nashville
      Brewers recalled INF Tyler Black from Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: He’ll take the place of Oliver Dunn on the Brewers’ active roster after Dunn was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday. Black has done nothing but hit at the Triple-A level this season, but slashed just .227/.261/.318 with zero homers, zero RBI and two stolen bases in 23 plate appearances with the big-league club his last time up. Let’s hope, for fantasy managers’ sake, that he gets a real opportunity for at-bats this time around. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:32 pm
       
    • Battling sore shoulder
      Toro has been dealing with shoulder soreness ever since Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Toro's shoulder injury helps explain why he will be missing his second consecutive game Wednesday versus the Royals. The Athletics are still optimistic that the 27-year-old infielder will be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, but he will see a doctor Wednesday in order to determine the best way to approach his injury. Tyler Nevin figures to operate as Oakland's main third baseman while Toro recovers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:17 pm

    • Dispatched to Nashville
      The Brewers optioned Dunn to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

      Advice: Playing time has been hard to come across recently for Dunn, and the emergence of Joey Ortiz hasn't helped. The 26-year-old Dunn has slashed .221/.282/.316 through 104 plate appearances in the big leagues this year and will now head back to the minors to get back on track. Tyler Black was recalled from Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:46 pm
       
    • Recalled to Milwaukee
      The Brewers recalled Black from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

      Advice: Black played in seven games for the Brewers earlier in the season but was sent back to Nashville on May 8 after going just 5-for-22 (.227) at the plate. Since returning to Triple-A, the 23-year-old infielder has slashed .255/.354/.473 with five homers, 23 RBI and eight stolen bases. He doesn't have a clear path to playing time due to Rhys Hoskins and Joey Ortiz being comfortably locked into everyday roles at first and third base, respectively, but Black's speed makes him a viable pinch runner, and he may be used occasionally against right-handers to give one of the usual starters a day off. Oliver Dunn was optioned to Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:37 pm
       
    • Heading back to bench
      Mendick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: Mendick started at second base in each of the last three games, but the White Sox faced two lefty starters and a lefty primary pitcher in those contests. He'll head back to the bench Wednesday while the lefty-hitting Nicky Lopez steps back in at the keystone against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:20 pm

    • Sitting second straight
      Toro isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: Although Toro has slashed .309/.338/.456 against left-handed pitchers this season, the Athletics will give Tyler Nevin another start at third base versus southpaw Cole Ragans. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:48 pm
