    • Remaining out Wednesday
      Alvarez (personal) isn't in the Astros' lineup Wednesday versus the White Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Alvarez will miss his second game in a row Wednesday as he continues to tend to a family matter, and he remains day-to-day. His absence will move Yainer Diaz into the DH spot while Victor Caratini starts behind the plate. Rotowire.com Today, 2:15 pm
       
    • Belts eighth homer
      Merrill went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.

      Advice: The rookie center fielder accounted for the Padres' only run off Ranger Suarez, driving a two-seam fastball from the southpaw over the right-field wall in the second inning. Merrill has eight homers on the year, but five of them have come in the last seven games, boosting his slash line on the season to .279/.317/.417 with nine steals, 30 RBI and 32 runs in 74 contests.

    • Sent down to minors
      The Rockies optioned Jones to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

      Advice: Jones didn't play much during his nearly two-week stint in the majors, receiving just one start and six plate appearances. He's replaced on the roster by Sean Bouchard (ankle), who was reinstated from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 1:49 pm

    • Returns from IL
      The Rockies activated Bouchard (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

      Advice: Bouchard needed just one rehab game at Triple-A Albuquerque to show he was ready to rejoin the big club. While not in the Rockies' lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Bouchard could see a decent amount of playing time in the outfield, especially while Charlie Blackmon (hamstring) is banged up.

    • Out of lineup Wednesday
      Siri isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Minnesota.

      Advice: Siri had started each of the previous eight games in center field and hit a couple home runs over that stretch, but he will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Jonny DeLuca will occupy center field for the Rays on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:42 pm
       
    • Rockies option INF/OF Greg Jones back to Triple-A
      Rockies optioned INF/OF Greg Jones to Triple-A Albuquerque.

      Advice: Just one day after hitting his first major league home run against the Dodgers, Jones is shipped back to Albuquerque as Sean Bouchard (ankle) returns from the injured list. The versatile 26-year-old went 1-for-5 (.200) with a solo homer and four strikeouts in six plate appearances during his short stay with the Rockies. Rotoworld Today, 1:42 pm

    • Rockies activate Sean Bouchard from 10-day IL
      Rockies activated OF Sean Bouchard from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: The 28-year-old outfielder had been sidelined since June 6 due to a right ankle sprain. He returns to a disappointing .203/.318/.324 slash line with one homer, six RBI and four stolen bases across 89 plate appearances. Bouchard is not in the Rockies’ lineup for Wednesday’s battle against the Dodgers. Greg Jones was optioned back to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move on Wednesday.

    • Heading to bench Wednesday
      Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Refsnyder had started in each of the Red Sox's last four games and in 12 of the team's last 14 games overall, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday as Boston rolls out an outfield of Jarren Duran, Romy Gonzalez and Tyler O'Neill from left to right. With Masataka Yoshida healthy again and serving as Boston's primary designated hitter against right-handed pitching and with Wilyer Abreu (ankle) nearing a return from the injured list, Refsnyder looks like he'll soon be headed for a short-side platoon role.

    • Out against left-hander
      McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

      Advice: With Texas starting southpaw Andrew Heaney, the left-handed-hitting McNeil will take a seat. Jose Iglesias will handle second base as the Mets seek their eighth win in a row. Rotowire.com Today, 1:34 pm
