  • Brewers call up C Eric Haase from Triple-A
    Brewers selected the contract of C Eric Haase from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Haase will be making his season debut after hitting .279/.367/.503 in 41 games in Triple-A. The veteran was originally signed by the Brewers to serve as William Contreras’s backup, but he lost the gig when Gary Sánchez came on board this spring. He’ll place the ailing Sánchez for at least the next eight days. Rotoworld Today, 10:08 am

  • Gets call to majors
    The Brewers selected Haase's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Haase will serve as the Brewers' backup at catcher to William Contreras while Gary Sanchez (calf) is on the 10-day injured list and could see occasional starts at designated hitter versus left-handed pitching. The 31-year-old has an .870 OPS with nine home runs in 165 plate appearances at Nashville this season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:05 am

  • Placed on IL with calf strain
    The Brewers placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left calf strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Though the Brewers are labeling Sanchez's injury as a low-grade strain, he wasn't going to be available to play for several days, so Milwaukee opted to deactivate him. Sanchez will be eligible to return July 4, but it's not clear yet whether he'll be ready on that date. Eric Haase was called up from Triple-A Nashville and will step in as the No. 2 option at catcher behind William Contreras. Rotowire.com Today, 10:03 am

  • Taking seat Wednesday
    Goodman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Goodman is on the bench Wednesday, but he seems to have settled into a near-everyday role of late while moving between designated hitter and catcher. He had started in nine of the Rockies' previous 10 games, going 10-for-37 with five home runs, one double, 10 RBI and seven runs over that stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 9:53 am

  • Belts 10th homer in loss
    Garver went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

    Advice: Garver's night was a microcosm of the dichotomy of his first season with the Mariners -- he flashed his power stroke for the second straight night and left the yard for the fifth time in the last 16 games overall, but he also struck out in his other three plate appearances. The veteran offseason addition has impressively knocked 22 of his 39 hits for extra bases, yet the second-highest strikeout rate of his career (30.0 percent) and a .215 BABIP have conspired to generate an anemic .176 average across his first 68 games in Seattle.

  • Getting rest day
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Grandal will get a breather for the day game Wednesday after he started behind the dish in each of the Pirates' last three contests. Jason Delay will spell Grandal, forming a battery with starting pitcher Luis Ortiz. Rotowire.com Today, 8:13 am
     
  • Reaches thrice in win
    Contreras went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Contreras got the Brewers on the board in the third inning, swatting a leadoff double before being driven in on a two-out single by Jackson Chourio. Tuesday's contest marked Contreras' first multi-hit game since June 16. While the catcher's power numbers are down overall, he's one stolen base away from matching his career high of six and is on pace for a career-best strikeout rate at 19.3 percent.

  • Lifts three-run homer
    Jeffers went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Jeffers' seventh-inning blast briefly tied the game at 4-4 before the Diamondbacks took the lead back a half-inning later. The catcher opened June in an 0-for-17 skid, but he's hit safely in seven of his last eight games, going 8-for-31 (.258) in that span. He's up to a .236/.323/.482 slash line with 13 home runs, 41 RBI, 30 runs scored and two stolen bases over 255 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:17 pm
     
  • Tallies three hits in win
    Naylor went 3-for-4 with an RBI and three runs scored in a 10-8 win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Advice: Naylor was active early, doubling and scoring in the second inning and then singling and scoring the third. He hit an RBI triple and came around to score again in the eighth. Naylor finished a home run shy of a cycle in his first three-hit effort of the season. Over his past five games, Naylor has gone 8-for-18 with six extra-base hits, five RBI and six runs scored. On the season, the young catcher is hitting .202 with four home runs, 17 RBI and 22 runs scored over 168 at-bats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:39 pm
