    • Sitting out Thursday
      Alvarez is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Marlins.

      Advice: Alvarez started at catcher in the first two games of the series after being activated from the 10-day injured list, but he will sit out the finale. Luis Torrens will do the catching for Luis Severino. Rotowire.com Today, 12:09 pm
       
    • Tosses sim game
      Wacha (foot) completed a three-inning simulated game Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The Royals will wait and see how Wacha feels Friday following the sim game before deciding on his next steps, but the right-hander will most likely head out on a minor-league rehab assignment if he's not feeling any renewed discomfort in his fractured left foot. If Wacha is cleared to make a rehab start Monday or Tuesday, he could be an option to return from the 15-day injured list and slot back into the Kansas City rotation next weekend.

    • Michael Wacha throws simulated game
      Michael Wacha, on the IL with a fractured foot, threw a three-inning simulated game Thursday.

      Advice: Wacha had no problems today, and if he’s still feeling good tomorrow, the Royals will likely pencil him in for a rehab start. He’ll probably need just one outing in the minors before rejoining the Royals. Rotoworld Today, 9:38 am

    • Timely double in loss
      Gelof went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in a loss to the Padres on Wednesday.

      Advice: Gelof's eighth-inning two-bagger brought home Seth Brown to extend the Athletics' lead to 4-2 at the time. The infielder now has a trio of two-hit efforts in the last seven games, but his 33.3 percent strikeout rate in that same span is emblematic of the persistent struggles that have led to his .194 average and .572 OPS across 203 plate appearances this season.

    • Kerry Carpenter says back is improving with rest
      Kerry Carpenter, who has been resting for two weeks after being diagnosed with a lumbar spine fracture, said his back is starting to feel better.

      Advice: The Tigers haven’t provided any timetable for Carpenter’s return, but Carpenter said he was told he’d need three and a half to four weeks of total rest before resuming baseball activities. He’s a bit more than halfway there now. Rotoworld Today, 7:54 am
       
    • Swipes 13th bag
      Volpe went 2-for-5 with a run and a stolen base Wednesday against Kansas City in an 11-5 victory.

      Advice: Volpe led off the game with a single and then stole second base before later coming around to score. The theft was his 13th of the campaign, pushing him past the halfway point as he seeks to surpass last season's total of 24 steals. Volpe has reached base at a much higher clip this season -- he's currently posting a .335 OBP compared to last year's .283 mark. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:56 pm
       
    • Homers again Wednesday
      McMahon went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in a 17-9 loss to the Twins on Wednesday.

      Advice: McMahon cut the Rockies' deficit to 5-2 in the fourth inning with a 427-foot blast off Pablo Lopez, his 12th homer of the year. The 29-year-old McMahon looks to have broken out of a prolonged slump -- he's gone 4-for-7 with two doubles and two home runs in his last two games after struggling to a .115 average (7-for-61) in his previous 17 contests. Overall, McMahon's now slashing .267/.350/.462 with 36 RBI and 35 runs scored across 288 plate appearances this year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:43 pm
       
    • Earns sixth win
      Webb (6-5) picked up the win Wednesday against the Astros, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out five over six innings.

      Advice: Webb held Houston to one run through his first five innings before giving up a two-run homer to Yordan Alvarez in the sixth. However, the Giants would hang on for a 5-3 victory while Webb logged his sixth quality start in his last seven outings. Overall, the right-hander sports a 3.02 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP and 78:20 K:BB across 92.1 innings this year. Webb's currently slated for a road matchup with the Cubs early next week.

    • Zack Gelof has two hits, RBI in loss to Padres
      Zack Gelof went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday in the Athletics’ loss to the Padres.

      Advice: Gelof was one of the few bright spots in this one as briefly gave Oakland a lead in the late stages of the contest with an RBI double in the eighth inning off Padres reliever Jeremiah Estrada. The 24-year-old second baseman has gotten off to an ice-cold start this season, but is still chipping in the occasional homer and stolen base to salvage some semblance of fantasy relevance, despite an abysmal batting average.
