  • Spencer Horwitz with two hits out of lead-off spot
    Spencer Horwitz went 2-for-4 with a walk on Wednesday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: The Blue Jays are giving Horwitz an opportunity at the top of their lineup as he’s hit first or second in all 10 of his starts since being called-up. He’s done well there, too with more walks than strikeouts and a .353/.450/.412 slash line so far. There isn’t much power, but getting on base at the top of any lineup is valuable.

  • Abraham Toro (shoulder) not in lineup Wednesday
    Abraham Toro (shoulder) is not in the Athletics’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

    Advice: Toro has apparently been battling a sore shoulder since Sunday’s doubleheader. The Athletics are hopeful that he’ll be able to avoid a stint on the injured list, but if this goes on for another couple of days they may need to change their stance. Tyler Nevin will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat fifth for the A’s against Cole Ragans and the Royals on Wednesday evening. Rotoworld Today, 6:15 pm

  • Goes deep again
    Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

    Advice: Swanson went deep for the second straight game against San Francisco, giving him eight home runs for the season. The shortstop is still off to a sluggish start overall with a .214 average and .660 OPS across 64 contests, though his recent form is indicative of the type of upside that Swanson possesses, giving him plenty of fantasy appeal moving forward.

  • J.P. Crawford tossed for arguing balls and strikes
    J.P. Crawford was ejected from Wednesday’s contest against the Guardians after arguing a questionable third strike call in the fifth inning.

    Advice: Things got heated between the M’s shortstop and home plate umpire Doug Eddings, with Crawford and eventually manager Scott Servais both getting the heave-ho. Crawford will have to catch the rest of Wednesday’s game from the clubhouse. Rotoworld Today, 5:02 pm
     
  • Brandon Drury scratched with illness on Wednesday
    Brandon Drury was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup on Wednesday night due to illness.

    Advice: The 31-year-old infielder had just returned from the injured list on Monday, so it’s encouraging to hear that it’s just an illness keeping him out of action and not a recurrence of his hamstring issue. He should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 4:43 pm

  • Scratched with illness
    Drury was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Wednesday's game versus Milwaukee due to an illness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Drury has gone 1-for-6 with a walk since returning from the injured list Monday, but he'll be sidelined once again Wednesday as he fights off an illness. Luis Guillorme will instead start at the keystone and bat ninth versus right-hander Freddy Peralta. Rotowire.com Today, 4:38 pm

  • Homers Wednesday
    Gorman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Gorman led off the second inning with a 436-foot blast off Yonny Chirinos, cutting St. Louis' deficit to 2-1. It's the first homer in seven games for Gorman, who'd gone just 1-for-28 in that span. Overall, the 24-year-old second baseman is slashing .202/.278/.437 with 16 homers, 34 RBI, 31 runs scored and three steals across 67 games this year. Rotowire.com Today, 4:38 pm

  • Brewers option Oliver Dunn to Triple-A Nashville
    Brewers optioned INF Oliver Dunn to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: The 26-year-old infielder has struggled in his time with the Brewers this season, hitting just .221/.282/.216 with one homer, seven RBI, three swipes and a 40/6 K/BB ratio over 104 plate appearances. He’ll see if he can get back track while playing every day at Triple-A. Tyler Black was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Today, 4:34 pm
