• Sitting out Wednesday
    Jeffers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.

    Advice: Jeffers had started each of the last seven contests (four at designated hitter and three at catcher) but will get some rest Wednesday. Christian Vazquez will do the catching for Bailey Ober as the Twins attempt to win their 10th straight game. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
  • Absent from lineup
    Biggio is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Biggio had started each of the last five contests for the Blue Jays but will begin this one on the bench. Toronto is going with Davis Scheider at second base and Addison Barger in left field. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Homers again Tuesday
    Soto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Soto cut the Yankees' deficit to 4-2 in the sixth inning with a 447-foot blast of Dean Kremer, his eighth homer of the year. Soto extended his hitting streak to eight games -- he's gone 10-for-30 with three homers and a 1.099 OPS in that span. The 25-year-old outfielder has gotten off to a stellar start in New York, slashing .325/.432/.588 with 24 RBI, 22 runs scored and two steals through his first 31 games.

  • Getting rare start
    Vogelbach will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup Wednesday against the Royals.

    Advice: He's filling in for Justin Turner, who is getting a day off. The start is just the fifth of the season for Vogelbach, who is 2-for-18 at the dish so far for Toronto. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
  • Getting breather Wednesday
    Turner is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Royals.

    Advice: It's a routine maintenance day for Turner, who hit two homers in the series opener Monday before going hitless Tuesday. Daniel Vogelbach will be the designated hitter Wednesday and also occupy the cleanup spot. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

  • Three hits vs. Miami
    McMahon went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: McMahon got the Rockies on the board with an RBI single in the first inning before driving in a second run with a double in the 10th. The 29-year-old McMahon now has hits in six straight games, going 8-for-23 with two doubles and two home runs in that span, on the heels of a 1-for-14 stretch. His slash line is up to .321/.397/.495 on the season with four homers, 18 RBI and 12 runs scored. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • May be pushing for everyday role
    Perez will start in center field and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: After getting on base four times and slugging two home runs between both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader, Perez will pick up a fifth consecutive start in the outfield Wednesday. With Austin Meadows on the bench for the second time in five games while he's hitting just .100 on the season, Perez could soon move into a full-time role at Meadows' expense. Since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on April 8, Perez has produced a 1.003 OPS over 48 plate appearances with Detroit. Rotowire.com Today, 7:19 am

  • Sits against right-hander again
    Meadows is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Meadows finds himself on the bench against a right-handed pitcher for the second time in five games and could soon find himself back with Triple-A Toledo, given his rough start to the season. Even after reaching base three times in the Tigers' 11-6 win in the second game of a doubleheader Tuesday, Meadows is slashing a deplorable .100/.222/.229 through 81 plate appearances on the season. Wenceel Perez will draw the start in center field Wednesday and could end up unseating Meadows for an everyday spot in the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 7:08 am
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Rogers will get a breather for Wednesday's day game after he was behind the plate Tuesday night for the Tigers' 11-6 win in the second game of a doubleheader with the Cardinals. Carson Kelly will pick up the start at catcher Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:06 am
