  • Orlando Arcia (dizziness) absent for Game 1
    Orlando Arcia, who left Monday’s game with dizziness, is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    Advice: We’re guessing we’ll see him in game two, but no official word yet if that’s the plan. Arcia was also slated to sit last night before the game was rained out. Zack Short is playing shortstop. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago

  • Luke Raley scratched from Mariners lineup
    Luke Raley was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup for the game against the Rays.

    Advice: No word yet on why Raley won’t play versus his former team. Ryan Bliss entered the lineup in his place, with Dylan Moore moving from second base to left field. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago

  • Mauricio Dubón sits after 15 straight starts
    Mauricio Dubón is absent from the Astros lineup Wednesday for the first time since June 7.

    Advice: Dubón is a fantastic utilityman, but an everyday first baseman or left fielder he’s not and that’s rather how the Astros have been treating him lately. He’s hit .250/.276/.361 in 77 plate appearances this month, and it’d be for the best if he plays less once Kyle Tucker rejoins the Houston outfield. With Dubón sitting, Jon Singleton is making his first start since Friday. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

  • Scratched for series finale
    The Mariners scratched Raley from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays for an unspecified reason, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The team will likely provide an explanation for Raley's late scratch later Wednesday. Ryan Bliss will enter the lineup as a replacement for Raley, covering second base while Dylan Moore covers Raley's spot in left field. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Nabs fourth steal
    McNeil went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

    Advice: It's the 32-year-old's first multi-hit performance since June 9, with McNeil batting a brutal .088 (3-for-34) in between. The career .291 hitter is slashing just .216/.281/.298 on the season, and his lengthy slump -- as well as a hot start to Jose Iglesias' Mets tenure -- has put McNeil's playing time in a bit of jeopardy. He may need to string together a few more solid efforts to avoid losing his hold on even a strong-side platoon role at second base. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

  • Out for Game 1 of twin bill
    Arcia (head) is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.

    Advice: Before Tuesday's game was rained out, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker disclosed that Arcia still wasn't feeling well after exiting Monday's 4-3 loss due to dizziness. Snitker didn't entirely rule Arcia out for both games of the twin bill, but it wouldn't be surprising if Atlanta opted to give the veteran shortstop the full day off to recover. Zack Short will cover shortstop in Arcia's stead in the first game of the day. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

  • Gets start against righty
    Taylor went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

    Advice: With Starling Marte (knee) landing on the injured list, Taylor and DJ Stewart are expected to split reps in right field. Instead of using a strict platoon, however, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza elected to deploy the right-handed Taylor against Gerrit Cole on Tuesday, perhaps prioritizing Taylor's superior defense. The 30-year-old is making a case for a bigger role with his bat as well, batting .273 (9-for-33) in June with three doubles, a triple, an RBI and five runs. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • Sitting after four straight starts
    Olivares is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Olivares will take a seat after he had started each of the Pirates' last four games while going 6-for-15 with a walk, two runs and two RBI. Each of those starts came against right-handed pitching, so for the moment, Olivares appears to have supplanted Connor Joe as the Pirates' preferred option in right field.

  • Out of Kansas City lineup
    Isbel is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins.

    Advice: Isbel missed a couple contests over the weekend with a back issue, but this appears to be a routine day off after he had started each of the first two games of the series. Garrett Hampson will patrol center field for the Royals. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
