  • LaMonte Wade (hamstring) doubtful for Thursday
    LaMonte Wade Jr. probably isn’t going to be able to make it back into the Giants lineup for the Rickwood game in Alabama on Thursday.

    Advice: Wade has been aiming to play in the contest, but his strained left hamstring isn’t quite ready yet. The Giants have been getting by with Wilmer Flores and Trenton Brooks at first base. Brooks will most likely be demoted once Wade is ready. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:32 pm

  • Starting rehab assignment
    Bouchard (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Bouchard is less than two weeks removed from suffering a right ankle sprain but is ready to test things out in a game setting. He is eligible for activation at any time, but the Rockies could keep him at Albuquerque rather than retuning him to the major-league roster. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:19 pm

  • Sitting out Monday
    Blackmon is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Dodgers.

    Advice: Blackmon has been scorching hot over the last 11 games in slashing .400/.460/.600, but he'll receive a day off as the Dodgers send lefty James Paxton to the bump. Hunter Goodman is replace Blackmon in the lineup at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:20 pm
     
  • Returns to Triple-A
    The Red Sox optioned Westbrook to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

    Advice: The 29-year-old Westbrook went 4-for-18 with a home run while appearing in 11 games during his first-ever stint in the big leagues. He'll cede his spot on the Red Sox bench to infielder Romy Gonzalez (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:38 pm
     
  • Red Sox send down Jamie Westbrook
    Red Sox optioned INF/OF Jamie Westbrook to Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: Westbrook should be at least a 26th man in the majors, but the Red Sox currently prefer Romy Gonzalez’s defensive versatility. Westbrook went 4-for-18 with a homer and a double during his two weeks with the Red Sox. His average exit velocity on his 13 balls in play was an impressive 92.8 mph.

  • Absent from lineup
    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: He and Ryan Kreidler have split the starts at shortstop down the middle, with both getting four apiece since Javier Baez (back) went on the injured list. McKinstry has now been on the bench for all three contests versus lefties, as Atlanta is starting southpaw Max Fried on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:09 pm

  • Takes seat Monday
    Perez is out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Atlanta.

    Advice: After starting each of the previous seven games, Perez will take a seat Monday as Atlanta goes with southpaw Max Fried on the mound. Matt Vierling will replace Perez in right field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:06 pm
     
  • Sitting against lefty
    Peralta is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Peralta will hit the bench for the series opener while the Phillies bring southpaw Cristopher Sanchez to the hill. Now that Manny Machado is back to playing third base again after he had previously made four consecutive starts at designated hitter following his return from a four-game absence due to a strained hip flexor, Peralta should have a regular spot in the lineup at DH when the Padres face right-handed pitchers.

  • Could get steady time in left field
    Dahl will start in left field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Dahl appeared at risk of moving into a fourth-outfielder role after Brandon Marsh returned from the injured list Saturday, but both should get the chance to play regularly against right-handed pitching after the Phillies cleared up their outfield logjam by optioning the struggling Johan Rojas to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday. Marsh is expected to cover Rojas' old spot in center field in most games, leaving left field available for Dahl. Since he was called up from Lehigh Valley on June 3, Dahl is batting just .231 and hasn't drawn a walk in 26 plate appearances, but four of his six hits have gone for extra bases.
