    • Held out again with illness
      Lindor (illness) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Cubs.

      Advice: Lindor is under the weather and will miss a second straight start as a result. He'll hope to be ready for Friday's series opener in Tampa Bay. Joey Wendle will again fill in for Lindor at shortstop on Thursday. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
       
    • Getting breather Thursday
      Stanton is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: Stanton is getting Thursday off after he went 1-for-10 with a 3:2 K:BB in the first three games of the series. Aaron Judge will get a day out of the outfield and will replace Stanton as the Yankees' designated hitter. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting against southpaw
      Abreu is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: With southpaw Kyle Harrison on the bump for the Giants, the lefty-hitting Abreu will retreat to the bench for the series finale. The Red Sox will have Tyler O'Neill move from his usual spot in left field to replace Abreu in right. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
       
    • Takes seat Thursday
      Smith is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: After he was granted his release from his minor-league deal with the Rays earlier Wednesday, Smith quickly landed with the Red Sox on a one-year contract and was included in the lineup upon joining the team. He started at first base in Wednesday's 6-2 win, going 1-for-4 with an RBI. While Masataka Yoshida (thumb) is on the shelf along with Triston Casas (ribs), the Red Sox could have room in the lineup at designated hitter and first base for both Smith and Garrett Cooper (wrist), though the lefty-hitting Smith will still likely sit against most left-handed pitchers. Smith finds himself on the bench Thursday with the Giants bringing southpaw Kyle Harrison to the hill. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
       
    • Back in lineup as DH
      Cooper (wrist) will serve as the Red Sox's designated hitter and No. 6 batter in Thursday's game against the Giants, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Cooper didn't play in Wednesday's 6-2 win while tending to a bruised right wrist, but he'll be back in action for the series finale. Given that he's serving as the Red Sox's DH rather than manning first base, it's possible that the bruised wrist is still presenting some complications with his throwing. With Masataka Yoshida (thumb) going on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, the Red Sox can give Cooper as much time as he needs at DH to heal up from the wrist issue before he's reintegrated at first base.

    • Headed back to Triple-A
      The Yankees optioned Narvaez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

      Advice: Narvaez was up for three games while Alex Verdugo was on paternity leave but didn't make an appearance. The catcher will return to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he's collected a .718 OPS with two homers in 101 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
       
    • Returns from paternity leave
      The Yankees activated Verdugo from the paternity list Thursday.

      Advice: Verdugo missed three games while tending to more important personal matters, but he's rejoined the club Thursday and presumably will be back in the lineup for their afternoon tilt against the Orioles. Aaron Judge played some left field while Verdugo was away but will now return to center field. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
       
    • Gets sixth straight start
      Rivera will start at third base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Rivera will be awarded a sixth consecutive start after he went 2-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win. Each of his past four starts have come at third base, and he'll continue to vie with Vidal Brujan for playing time at the position until Jake Burger (oblique) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list. Burger began a rehab assignment Wednesday, and it's possible that he'll be ready to join the Marlins at some point during their six-game West Coast road trip that begins Friday in Oakland.

    • Homers, extends hitting streak
      Pages went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Pages kicked off a five-run second inning for the Dodgers with a two-run shot off Jordan Montgomery following a one-out walk from Enrique Hernandez. It was the rookie outfielder's third home run of the campaign and he's now hit safely in eight consecutive games. Over that stretch he's batting .363 (12-for-33) with two homers, seven RBI and seven runs scored. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
