    • Taking seat Thursday
      Langeliers is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Houston.

      Advice: It's a routine day off for Langeliers after he started each of the last four days behind the plate. Kyle McCann will do the catching for Joey Estes on Thursday. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
       
    • Scratched from lineup
      Nimmo was scratched from the Mets' lineup prior to Thursday's game against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: It's unclear at the moment why Nimmo had to step out of the lineup, but the Mets should offer some clarity in the near future. In the meantime, DJ Stewart will take Nimmo's place in left field and bat fifth, moving Tyrone Taylor into the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

    • Mets promote LHP Josh Walker from Triple-A
      Mets recalled LHP Josh Walker from Triple-A Syracuse.

      Advice: The Mets wanted extra bullpen insurance with a long stretch of games coming up, so they optioned Joey Lucchesi, who had just started on Wednesday to bring up Walker. The 29-year-old has thrown three scoreless innings at the big league level so far this year with three strikeouts and one walk. His time in New York doesn’t figure to be long since he will likely be the next man down when the Mets need a starter again. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago
       
    • Mets option Joey Lucchesi to minors
      Mets optioned LHP Joey Lucchesi to Triple-A Syracuse.

      Advice: Lucchesi started on Wednesday night and was ineffective, allowing five runs on five hits in 4 1/3 innings. He’ll now be sent down so the Mets can bring up reliever Josh Walker and get extra insurance for the bullpen with a long stretch of games coming up. We’ll likely see Lucchesi up again, but he remains off the fantasy radar for now. Rotoworld 53 minutes ago
       
    • Summoned to bullpen
      The Mets recalled Walker from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

      Advice: Walker represents a fresh arm for a bullpen that's been overused recently. The left-hander has made three scoreless appearances during his time with the Mets this season. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
       
    • Anthony Volpe homers, steals base in victory
      Anthony Volpe went 2-for-5 with a leadoff homer and also stole a base on Thursday, leading the Yankees to a 5-0 victory over the Twins.

      Advice: Volpe kicked off the contest with a leadoff homer against Twins starter Joe Ryan for his sixth round-tripper of the year. He also picked up his ninth stolen base of the season a couple frames later. The 23-year-old’s power output was a bit diminished at the outset of the year following offseason changes to flatten his swing and implement an all-fields approach, but he’s started to drive the ball a bit more of late with three homers in his last nine contests.

    • Optioned to Triple-A
      The Mets optioned Lucceshi to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

      Advice: Lucchesi made a spot start Wednesday in Philadelphia, getting knocked around for five runs over 4.1 innings of work. He'll rejoin the Syracuse rotation while Josh Walker gives the Mets a fresh relief arm. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
       
    • Max Kepler goes hitless in Twins’ shutout loss
      Max Kepler went 0-for-4 with a strikeout on Thursday in the Twins’ shutout loss at the hands of the Yankees.

      Advice: Kepler has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball of late, hitting .354 (17-for-48) with two homers and seven doubles in 14 games since the start of May, but wasn’t able to get anything going in this one. He wasn’t alone as Minnesota’s lineup wound up being limited to just three hits as Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt and reliever Victor González combined on a shutout. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago

    • Aaron Judge doubles twice in victory over Twins
      Aaron Judge doubled twice on Thursday in the Yankees’ win over the Twins.

      Advice: Judge scalded a pair of doubles in this one that carried exit velocities over 108 mph and traveled over 400 feet, but wound up staying in the yard at spacious Target Field in Minnesota. He finished 2-for-3 with a walk, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances in the one-sided affair. The 32-year-old former AL MVP has rebounded from a frosty start at the dish this season, batting .396 (19-for-48) with five homers and nine doubles in 14 contests since the start of May.
