  • CJ Abrams scratched from Nationals lineup
    CJ Abrams was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup for the game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: No reason was immediately given. Nasim Nuñez is playing shortstop in his place. He went into the ninth spot, so everyone else moved up one place in the lineup. Rotoworld Today, 12:40 pm

  • Otto Lopez delivers walk-off hit vs. Cardinals
    Otto Lopez hit a game-winning RBI single on Wednesday, lifting the Marlins to a 4-3 walk-off victory over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Lopez helped Miami avoid a potential third straight extra-inning affair against the Cardinals by delivering a walk-off single to right field. The 25-year-old infielder has struggled of late, batting .255 (14-for-55) with zero homers and three steals over his last 15 games. Rotoworld Today, 12:28 pm

  • Hitting bench Wednesday
    Clement is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Clement had started at third base in each of the past three games, but he'll give way to Addison Barger for the series finale. Isiah Kiner-Falefa has paced the Blue Jays with 33 starts at the hot corner this season, but he's likely to see most of his playing time at shortstop for the foreseeable future while Bo Bichette (calf) is on the injured list. Rather than leaning on Clement as its everyday third baseman during Bichette's absence, Toronto could opt to use a committee of Clement, Barger and Orelvis Martinez at the position.

  • Absent from lineup again
    Martinez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Martinez didn't play Tuesday in his first game after receiving a promotion and he will begin Wednesday's tilt on the bench, as well. It's not a good sign for the youngster's playing time outlook during his first stint in the big leagues. The Blue Jays have Spencer Horwitz at second base, Addison Barger at third base and Isiah Kiner-Falefa at shortstop Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:09 pm

  • Not in Cleveland lineup
    Rocchio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mariners.

    Advice: Rocchio will get a routine day off after starting in each of the previous seven contests. Daniel Schneemann will cover shortstop for the Guardians in Rocchio's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 11:37 am
     
  • Swipes bag in loss
    Mateo went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Mateo remains in a slump -- he's 0-for-10 over his last four games -- but he's picked up two steals over six contests since he returned from a concussion. With Jordan Westburg (hip) leaving Tuesday's game early, Mateo's playing time could rise in the short term if his teammate is forced to miss additional games. Mateo is at a .231/.280/.431 slash line with four home runs, 16 RBI, 22 runs scored and 12 steals across 48 contests this season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:59 am
     
  • Trea Turner gets scheduled rest versus Padres
    The Phillies said Trea Turner is getting a planned day off Wednesday after starting his first two games back from the IL.

    Advice: That’s as expected, but the confirmation is nice. Edmundo Sosa is playing shortstop for the Phillies today. Rotoworld Today, 9:46 am
     
  • Pirates option Alika Williams after IL stint
    Pirates activated INF Alika Williams from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: Rather than carry the light-hitting Williams, the Pirates will go with Jared Triolo as their lone infield backup for now. The alternative was probably sending Jack Suwinski back to Triple-A. Rotoworld Today, 9:32 am

  • Activated and optioned
    The Pirates reinstated Williams (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Pittsburgh will keep Jared Triolo on hand as its lone reserve infielder while Williams reports to the Triple-A club now that he's made a full recovery from the right wrist sprain that initially sent him to the IL on June 2. Williams had already been in the midst of a rehab assignment with Indianapolis, going 3-for-11 at the plate over three games. Rotowire.com Today, 9:05 am
