  • Draws another start at third base
    Sano will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Sano will make his seventh straight start Wednesday, including his fourth in a row at the hot corner. With Anthony Rendon () on the injured list, Sano looks as though he'll handle an everyday role at third base, at least while he continues to hold his own at the plate. Though Sano hasn't provided much in the way of counting stats through his first 19 games of the season (one home run, eight runs and five RBI), he's hitting .281 and getting on base at a .373 clip.

  • Nationals recall Trey Lipscomb
    Nationals recalled INF Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: The 23-year-old infielder will fill a roster spot after the Nationals placed Lane Thomas on the 10-day injured list. Lipscomb has appeared in 14 games for the Nats this season and has slashed .225/.278/.286 with four RBI and four stolen bags. He’s probably not worth a stash on fantasy rosters, but he could offer some value in deeper leagues. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
     
  • Expected to be promoted
    Barger is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Wednesday's game in Kansas City, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Kevin Kiermaier exited Tuesday's game with hip flexor discomfort and could be headed to the injured list to open up room on the 26-man active roster for Barger. The 24-year-old has slashed .314/.435/.586 with three home runs and a 15:14 K:BB over 19 games with Buffalo this season. He's played right field and third base for Buffalo this season and would be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago

  • Officially recalled
    The Nationals recalled Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.

    Advice: Lipscomb is taking the roster spot vacated by outfielder Lane Thomas (knee), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The rookie posted a .563 OPS with one home run and four stolen bases over 14 games with the Nationals earlier this month and could get some reps at third base if the club wants to use Senzel in the outfield as a fill-in for Thomas.

  • Swipes another bag
    Kim went 2-for-4 with a run and a stolen base Tuesday in a loss to the Rockies.

    Advice: Kim is up to seven thefts on the campaign, tied for seventh in MLB. He's still batting a modest .228 on the season but has perked up over his past 12 games, slashing .268/.412/.488 with two homers, six RBI, nine runs, four steals and a 10:5 BB:K over that stretch.

  • Joins team in Washington
    Lipscomb has joined the Nationals' taxi squad and could be called up from Triple-A Rochester prior to Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Outfielder Lane Thomas is getting an MRI on his left knee after exiting Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers, and the expectation is that he'll require a trip to the injured list. Lipscomb put up a .563 OPS with one home run and four stolen bases over 14 games with the Nationals earlier this month. He could see action at third base if the club elects to use Nick Senzel in the outfield or in the designated hitter spot in place of Thomas. Rotowire.com Today, 8:33 am
     
  • Cardinals recall José Fermín from Triple-A
    Cardinals recalled INF José Fermín from Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Fermín is the beneficiary of the Cardinals’ decision to send Jordan Walker to the minors. The 25-year-old has put together a solid season at the Triple-A level with a 1.108 OPS with four homers and 10 RBI in his 72 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 8:19 am
     
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: Fermin was off to a fantastic start with Memphis, slashing .350/.458/.650 with four home runs, five steals and a 3:11 K:BB over 18 games. The 25-year-old will offer utility infield depth for the Cardinals, and it's possible he gets some starts at second base against lefties. Rotowire.com Today, 8:14 am
     
  • Swats sixth homer
    Paredes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: He supplied the Rays' only offense by taking Alex Faedo deep in the sixth inning. Paredes is having a strong start to the season, slashing .274/.361/.512 through 23 games with six homers and 16 RBI, but he'll need to keep producing to hang onto his starting job at third base with top prospect Junior Caminero lurking at Triple-A.
