    • Resting Thursday
      Barnhart is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

      Advice: Barnhart had started behind the plate in three of the past four games but will get a breather for the day game after the night game. Jose Herrera will handle the catching duties Thursday, but Barnhart looks poised to serve as the Diamondbacks' top backstop until Gabriel Moreno (thumb) is back from the injured list.

    • Orlando Arcia back in the starting lineup
      Orlando Arcia is back in the starting lineup for the Braves on Thursday against the White Sox.

      Advice: Arcia had missed the last two days while battling an illness, but he’s back in the lineup and hitting ninth on Thursday. The veteran is a consistent presence in the Braves’ lineup, but he’s not playing well this season, hitting .212/.243/.343 with six home runs in 292 plate appearances. He can be left on waiver wires in most leagues. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
       
    • Dean Kremer struggles in rehab start
      Dean Kremer allowed four runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

      Advice: It’s another poor rehab start for Kremer, who now has an 11.42 ERA during his rehab assignment. He did strike out five while throwing 75 pitches, so it’s possible he could be up to 80-90 pitches in his next outing. Whether the Orioles decide that will come at Triple-A or in the majors is anybody’s guess right now. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago

    • Andrew Benintendi sitting versus a lefty
      Andrew Benintendi is not in the White Sox starting lineup on Thursday against the Braves.

      Advice: With the Braves starting left-hander Chris Sale, the White Sox will turn to Corey Julks in left field over Benintendi. This is now the second straight left-handed pitcher that Benintendi has sat against, and it seems like he’s becoming a part-time player. It makes sense considering he’s hitting .199/.245/.308 in 237 plate appearances this season. Rotoworld 53 minutes ago
       
    • Resting against southpaw
      Kepler is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Kepler will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitter Trevor Larnach as the Twins add a pair of right-handed bats (Manuel Margot and Kyle Farmer) to the lineup to counter Diamondbacks southpaw Jordan Montgomery. Expect Kepler to rejoin the starting nine for the Twins' series opener in Seattle on Friday, when right-hander Logan Gilbert is scheduled to take the hill for the Mariners.

    • Getting day off against lefty
      Larnach is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Larnach will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitter Max Kepler as the Twins add a pair of right-handed bats (Manuel Margot and Kyle Farmer) to the lineup to counter Diamondbacks southpaw Jordan Montgomery. Expect Larnach to rejoin the starting nine for the Twins' series opener in Seattle on Friday, when right-hander Logan Gilbert is scheduled to take the hill for the Mariners.

    • Playing time drying up
      Martin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Martin had previously made starts in five consecutive games at three different positions from June 16 through June 21, but his playing time has since trended downward while the Twins have had all regular members of their lineup available. He'll be on the bench for the fourth time in five contests and will likely see limited opportunities moving forward, unless an injury opens up a path to a starting role. Rotowire.com Today, 10:31 am

    • Cubs place Javier Assad on IL
      Cubs placed RHP Javier Assad on the 15-day IL with a right forearm extensor strain.

      Advice: Assad struggled on Sunday and didn’t record a single strikeout. Now we might know why. The Cubs haven’t issued a timeline for Assad’s injury, but forearm strains can often be a precursor to bigger injuries, so the team is liable to be careful with the right-hander. We should find out in the coming days just how long Assad will be out and who the Cubs will call up to replace him in the rotation. Rotoworld Today, 10:28 am
       
    • In midst of rehab assignment
      Roupp (undisclosed) made his third rehab appearance in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Wednesday, striking out four over two perfect innings.

      Advice: Roupp has resided on Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list since May 24 with an unspecified injury, but he looks to be close to a return to action in the Pacific Coast League. He's cruised through his first three outings in the ACL, punching out 12 while not issuing a walk and allowing just two hits over five shutout innings. The injury comes at an unfortunate time for Roupp, who possesses a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster and might have been under consideration to join the injury-riddled big-league rotation had he been healthy.
