  • Nabs third straight start
    Adell will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: He'll be awarded a third consecutive start after going 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, two RBI and an additional run scored over the past two games, while also reaching base twice after being hit by pitches. Since he first broke into the big leagues in 2020, Adell has struggled to have much staying power in the majors while maintaining high strikeout rates, but he's shown some progression on that front so far this season. Through 39 plate appearances, Adell has struck out just eight times (20.5 percent). Rotowire.com 17 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 22 minutes ago

  • Nationals place Lane Thomas (knee) on 10-day IL
    Nationals place Lane Thomas on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left MCL.

    Advice: Tough news. The 28-year-old outfielder exited Tuesday’s game after he twisted his leg on a stolen base attempt and now will be sidelined for at least the next week. Thomas hit a nice stride in early April with three straight games with multiple hits, but he’s cooled off and has a batting line of .184/.250/.253 in 22 games this season. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago

  • Hits IL with MCL sprain
    The Nationals placed Thomas on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with an MCL sprain of his left knee.

    Advice: Thomas sustained the injury in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers and will be eligible for activation May 4, but given the nature of the knee issue, he'll likely need more than the minimum 10 days to make a full recovery. The Nationals called up infielder Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move, and he could end up garnering regular starts at third base and serving as Thomas' de facto replacement if Washington is willing to move Nick Senzel off the hot corner and deploys him in the outfield or at designated hitter more frequently. After a breakout 2023 campaign in which he hit .268 with 28 home runs and 20 stolen bases, Thomas had slumped out of the gate with a .184/.250/.253 slash line with two home runs in 22 games, though he remained active on the basepaths (11 steals in 12 attempts).

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

    Advice: The left-handed-hitting Kjerstad started versus a right-hander Tuesday in his first game following a promotion from Triple-A Norfolk, but he'll take a seat Wednesday against southpaw Tyler Anderson. Colton Cowser and Anthony Santander will handle the corner-outfield spots for the Orioles and Adley Rutschman will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter while Kjerstad and fellow lefty hitter Ryan O'Hearn head to the bench.

  • Takes seat versus lefty
    O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will retreat to the bench while southpaw Tyler Anderson toes the rubber for the Angels. O'Hearn's absence clears up the designated-hitter spot for Adley Rutschman, allowing Rutschman to get a day out of the field while James McCann handles catching duties for Baltimore.

  • Sitting against southpaw
    Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: As per usual, the lefty-hitting Wade finds himself on the bench while the Giants face off against a left-handed starting pitcher (Sean Manaea) in the series finale. Wilmer Flores will replace Wade at first base and as the Giants' No. 2 batter. Rotowire.com Today, 9:59 am
     
  • Takes seat for series finale
    Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Lee is one of multiple lefty-hitting regulars for the Giants who will take a seat Wednesday as the Mets send left-hander Sean Manaea to the hill for the series finale. Austin Slater steps into Lee's usual spot atop the batting order, while the Giants will roll out an outfield featuring Michael Conforto, Tyler Fitzgerald and Slater from left to right.

  • Sits against lefty Wednesday
    Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: With left-hander Sean Manaea on the hill for the Mets, the lefty-hitting Yastrzemski will get a breather in the series finale. Yastrzemski starred in Tuesday's 5-1 win, going 2-for-3 with a run scored while delivered a two-run single in the fifth inning and plating another run with a single in the seventh.
