    • Taking seat Thursday
      Cronenworth is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Rangers.

      Advice: It's a routine day of rest after Cronenworth started each of the previous 12 games for the Padres. Tyler Wade will receive a start at second base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:06 am
       
    • On bench against lefty
      Horwitz is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: Hortwitz will head to the bench Thursday with lefty Framber Valdez on the mound for Houston. Leo Jimenez will man second base and bat eighth in the series finale. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:03 am
       
    • Rare day off amidst slump
      Semien is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

      Advice: It's just the second day off of the season for Semien, who has managed just two hits over his last 36 at-bats. Jonathan Ornelas will handle second base for the Rangers on Thursday while Semien receives some much-needed rest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:53 am
       
    • Otto Lopez lands on IL with back injury
      Marlins placed INF Otto Lopez on the 10-day injured list with lower back inflammation.

      Advice: Lopez has been starting regularly at second base before sitting out the last three games with his back injury. Vidal Brujan has been playing second in Lopez’s absence and should continue to see every day at bats while Lopez is out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:51 am

    • Guardians recall Angel Martínez on Thursday
      Guardians recalled INF Angel Martínez from Triple-A Columbus.

      Advice: Martínez went 2-for-7 in his first taste of major league action earlier this season and was hitting .316/.416/.537 at Triple-A with five home runs and two steals in 26 games. The 22-year-old is one of the Guardians’ top-hitting prospects, so there is a chance he could find himself with a decent amount of playing time in this stint with the big club. However, he is a contact-first player who has never hit over 14 home runs or stolen more than 11 bases in any season, so his fantasy ceiling might not be that high.

    • Lands on injured list
      The Marlins placed Lopez on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to lower-back inflammation, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

      Advice: The 25-year-old was held out of the lineup the past two days and will now take at least another week to get healthy on the injured list. Jonah Bride was called up in a corresponding move, and he could see time at second base along with Vidal Brujan while Lopez is sidelined. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:04 am

    • Promoted, starting Thursday
      The Guardians recalled Martinez from Triple-A Columbus, and he's starting in center field Thursday against the White Sox.

      Advice: The 22-year-old was up with the big club for a couple days in June and saw action in two games, going 2-for-7 at the plate. Martinez started at third base and designated hitter during that stint but will receive a look in center field Thursday while batting second. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:47 am
       
    • Logs second steal
      Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Cronenworth notched his first multi-hit effort since June 21 and his first steal since May 6 with a strong performance Wednesday. The infielder hit .250 with eight extra-base hits and 15 RBI over 27 contests in June. For the year, he's at a .260/.325/.437 slash line, 12 home runs, two steals, 53 RBI and 45 runs scored across 85 games. He's played fairly well, but he may slip out of an everyday role once Xander Bogaerts (shoulder) returns from the injured list later in July. Bogaerts had played primarily at second base prior to his injury, though Cronenworth or Luis Arraez could ultimately share first base and designated hitter to keep both of their bats in the lineup.

    • Swipes bag Wednesday
      Merrifield went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Merrifield has two steals over his last six contests, but he's gone just 4-for-23 at the plate over his last 11 games. The infielder has recorded 20-plus steals five times in his first eight major-league campaigns, but his smaller role and lackluster ability to get on base in 2024 has put a damper on his speed contributions. He's slashing .190/.277/.282 with eight steals, three home runs, 10 RBI and 19 runs scored over 160 plate appearances this year. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:37 pm
