  • Sitting amid slump
    Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Rosario typically hits the bench against left-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Wednesday while a righty (Dylan Cease) toes the rubber for the Padres. Despite seeing limited exposure to same-handed pitching, Rosario has fallen into a slump at the plate lately, going 6-for-41 while failing to draw a walk in any of his last 12 games. The Nationals added another option at designated hitter to the roster Tuesday in Harold Ramirez, who is in the lineup Wednesday and could challenge Rosario for the top spot on the depth chart.

  • Eddie Rosario on bench against right-hander
    Even though the Nationals are facing a righty, Eddie Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Padres.

    Advice: It’s just the third time this year that he hasn’t started against a righty. After a fine May, Rosario has slumped again of late, going 7-for-45 with no homers or walks in his last 13 games. Because of a brutal April, he’s at just .181/.226/.330 overall. Harold Ramírez is starting in his place today. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:34 am
     
  • Swipes first bag of season
    Tellez went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Reds.

    Advice: The burly first baseman stole the fourth bag of his career, and his first since 2022, in the first inning as the Pirates grabbed an early 3-0 lead. Tellez has been enjoying his strong-side platoon role in June -- through 59 plate appearances this month, he's slashing .352/.407/.500 with five doubles, a homer, six runs and 11 RBI.

  • Homers in Tuesday's loss
    Winker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Winker took Adam Mazur deep in the third inning to cap off a four-run rally for the Nationals. That was Winker's ninth homer of the year and his third over the last seven contests. The outfielder is up to a .264/.382/.419 slash line with 36 RBI, 37 runs scored and 12 stolen bases through 76 games this season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:01 pm
     
  • Catching bullpen session
    Moreno (thumb) will catch Zac Gallen's (hamstring) bullpen session Thursday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: A sprained left thumb forced Moreno onto the injured list Saturday, and Wednesday's bullpen session will allow him to get a feel for how his thumb feels in his glove after a few days of recovery. Assuming all goes well, there is a strong possibility that the 24-year-old backstop will be able to return from the injured list when eligible next Tuesday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:00 pm

  • On bench against lefty
    Butler is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Butler started the previous five games but will take a seat Tuesday after going 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts during that span. Daz Cameron will man right field against Angels southpaw Tyler Anderson. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:58 pm
     
  • Hoping to swing bat Wednesday
    Herrera (back) will play catch Tuesday and is hoping to hit off a tee and take flips Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Herrera is eligible for activation Saturday but could need a rehab assignment before returning. He could make it back by early July if all goes well. It wouldn't seem to be a given that Herrera rejoins the big-league roster at that point, however, since Willson Contreras is back from the injured list and Pedro Pages had been playing over Herrera prior to the latter's injury.

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Suwinski is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Suwinski started the previous four games but will sit after going 2-for-14 with a double and an RBI during that stretch. Michael Taylor will start in center field against Cincinnati righty Hunter Greene on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:55 pm
     
  • Clubs fifth homer
    Nevin went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Angels.

    Advice: Nevin provided the Athletics' lone run with his solo shot off Griffin Canning in the second inning. Over six games since he rejoined Oakland's 26-man roster, he's gone 3-for-18 (.167) with two RBI. The infielder is slashing .213/.300/.348 with five homers, 12 RBI, 13 runs scored, four doubles and one stolen base over 160 plate appearances. While Nevin's hitting is nothing special, he'll have a chance to claim a regular spot in the lineup while Abraham Toro (hamstring) is sidelined for at least a month. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:09 pm
