  • Marlins scratch Otto Lopez from Tuesday lineup
    Otto Lopez was scratched from the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Lopez was originally scheduled to get the start at second base, but for reasons that haven’t been announced yet, he’s not going to do that. Vidal Brujan (knee) is back in the lineup as the second baseman, and Emmanuel Rivera is starting at third. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:29 pm

  • Absent from lineup
    Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Arcia missed two games last week due to dizziness before returning to play the last four contests. He hasn't suffered any known setback, so this would appear to be a routine day of rest. Zack Short will fill in at shortstop. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:12 pm

  • Orlando Arcia out of lineup Tuesday vs. Giants
    Orlando Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s tilt against the Giants.

    Advice: Arcia is on the bench with Zack Short playing shortstop for Atlanta. It could be a day of rest for the 29-year-old, but it’s worth pointing out that he missed time while dealing with an illness last week. There’ll be an injury update if necessary, but for now Arcia shouldn’t be in lineups for Tuesday’s contest. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:07 pm

  • Ready for rehab assignment
    Amador (oblique) was sent to Double-A Hartford on Sunday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Advice: Amador has been on the 10-day injured list for a little over a week with a strained oblique but has been cleared to return to game action. He should be ready to be activated soon, but with Brendan Rodgers beating him back from the IL, Amador is likely to remain with Hartford upon his activation rather than returning to the Rockies.

  • Delivers in pinch
    Alexander entered Sunday's game as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with two RBI in a 5-1 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: The score was tied when manager Torey Lovullo had Alexander, who was 0-for-8 during the series and 0-for-9 on the homestand, pinch hit for Joc Pederson with the bases loaded. The A's countered with righty reliever Austin Adams, a former Diamondback with whom Lovullo is familiar, and Alexander delivered a single through a drawn-in infield to give Arizona the lead. Alexander has scuffled of late, going 3-for-33 (.091) with zero RBI over the last 12 games and is down to .259 for the season. Rotowire.com Monday, 4:03 am

  • Taking seat Sunday
    Schuemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Schuemann has gone 5-for-41 (.122 average) with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate in his past 13 games and will sit for Sunday's series finale in Arizona. Aledmys Diaz will take over at shortstop and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:50 pm

  • On cusp of rehab assignment
    Baez (back) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Joe Reedy of the Associated Press reports.

    Advice: Manager A.J. Hinch had previously said June 25 that Baez wasn't on track to return from the 10-day injured list before the Tigers' ongoing road trip concludes July 7, but the veteran shortstop looks like he could be an option to play during the final week before the All-Star break. The Tigers will likely wait and see how Baez responds to at least a few rehab games with Toledo this week before determining his next steps. Baez had produced a career-worst .456 OPS over 196 plate appearances before being placed on the IL on June 11 with lumbar spine inflammation. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:34 pm

  • Idle against lefty
    Wisely is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Wisely will take a seat in favor of the righty-hitting Tyler Fitzgerald, who will cover second base while the Giants face off against southpaw James Paxton. Though he's still holding down a strong-side platoon role in the middle infield, Wisely's run as the Giants' primary leadoff man versus right-handed pitching has come to an end in the wake of LaMonte Wade's return from the injured list Friday. Wade had actually batted second both of the previous two days against right-handed pitching, but Jorge Soler moved into the leadoff spot while Wisely dropped to eighth in the order.
