  • Scratched Wednesday
    Jones was scratched from the Rockies' lineup before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to illness, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Jones was reportedly feeling unwell ahead of Wednesday's contest, so he'll step out of the lineup and use the day to recover. Sean Bouchard will instead serve as Colorado's left fielder and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:21 pm

  • Nolan Jones scratched from Rockies’ lineup
    Nolan Jones was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

    Advice: No word given yet on the reason for the late scratch, but it could simply be that they wanted to get Sean Bouchard in there after he was activated from the injured list on Wednesday. Stay tuned, as the Rockies should have an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:04 pm

  • Moving back to bench Wednesday
    Goodman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Goodman started each of the last four games -- two at designated hitter, two at catcher -- and went 6-for-17 with three home runs and one double, but he hasn't quite seized hold of an everyday role just yet. Jacob Stallings remains the Rockies' No. 1 catcher while Elias Diaz (calf) is on the shelf, and Charlie Blackmon and Elehuris Montero are also expected to factor into the mix at DH until Kris Bryant (oblique) returns from the injured list. Goodman may need to turn in a few more quality performances at the plate in his subsequent starts before the Rockies make him a fixture in the lineup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:34 pm

  • Christian Walker scores lone run in loss to Nats
    Christian Walker went 1-for-4 and scored the Diamondbacks’ lone run in Wednesday’s loss to the Nationals.

    Advice: The only run that the Diamondbacks were able to scratch out against Patrick Corbin and company on Wednesday afternoon came as Gabriel Moreno worked a bases-loaded walk in the third inning that allowed Walker to score. The 33-year-old slugger has been a force in the middle of the Diamondbacks’ lineup once again this season — slashing .255/.333/.475 with 16 homers, 49 RBI and a pair of stolen bases.

  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Yankees transferred Rizzo (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

    Advice: The veteran first baseman is expected to be sidelined eight weeks after he landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured right forearm, so the move to the 60-day IL doesn't come as a major surprise. Rizzo will be shut down from baseball activities for up to five weeks. Gerrit Cole (elbow) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding transaction and is making his season debut Wednesday against the Orioles. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:23 pm
     
  • 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
