  • Heading to bench Wednesday
    Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Taylor will receive a breather for the day game after he went 0-for-6 with three strikeouts while making a pair of starts in center field over the first two games of the series. Jack Suwinski will replace Taylor as the Pirates' starting center fielder Wednesday. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Season debut coming soon
    Woo (elbow) is expected to rejoin the Mariners' rotation during their upcoming homestand, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

    Advice: Manager Scott Servais wasn't ready to give an exact date for Woo's return but noted that it will be day which would allow for an extra day of rest for the team's other starters. That would seem to point to Woo starting Friday against the Athletics, but the exact plans should be revealed soon. Emerson Hancock will be optioned to Triple-A Tacoma when Woo returns.

  • Getting rest Wednesday
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Grandal will get a breather for the day game after he was behind the plate for all nine innings of Tuesday's 9-0 loss. Joey Bart will step in for Grandal as the Pirates' starting catcher. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Nabs fourth consecutive start
    Tucker will start at third base and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: Tucker will be making his fourth consecutive start Wednesday, with all coming at the hot corner. Luis Rengifo (illness) -- who is on the bench for a fifth straight game -- should eventually take over as the preferred option at third base once healthy, but the Angels could make room for the versatile Tucker elsewhere around the diamond or outfield while he remains productive at the plate. Since his April 29 call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake, Tucker has produced a .770 OPS over 21 plate appearances while stealing three bases in four attempts. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting out Wednesday

  • Exits lineup versus lefty
    Moniak is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: Moniak's stretch of seven consecutive starts will come to an end Wednesday, as the lefty-hitting outfielder will cede center field to the righty-hitting Kevin Pillar while southpaw Martin Perez takes the hill for the Pirates. Though he may continue to occasionally hit the bench against left-handed pitching, Moniak should have a fairly clear path to regular playing time versus righties while Mike Trout (knee) is on the injured list.

  • Absent from lineup
    Naylor is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Tigers.

    Advice: Naylor had started each of the previous six contests but will take a seat for Wednesday's afternoon game. Austin Hedges will do the catching for Tanner Bibee. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Out against lefty
    Schanuel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: With lefty Martin Perez on the bump for Pittsburgh, the lefty-hitting Schanuel will exit the starting nine for the series finale. Brandon Drury will slide over from his usual spot at the keystone and man first base in Schanuel's stead. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Manzardo is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Tigers.

    Advice: Manzardo started each of the first two games at designated hitter following his promotion, going 0-for-7 with five strikeouts. He'll begin this one on the bench, with Jose Ramirez getting a start at DH. Gabriel Arias will handle third base. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
