  • Bypassed in save opportunity
    Neris was not used to close out Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Giants, with Colten Brewer getting the save instead.

    Advice: Neris took the loss and blew a save against the Giants on Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) in an inning of work, and he's allowed a total of seven earned runs over his last three outings. The veteran's ERA has climbed to 4.73 as a result of his recent struggles, and he's blown four saves this year in 14 chances. Chicago manager Craig Counsell said following Monday's game that he didn't plan on making a change at closer, according to James Neveau of Yahoo Sports, but this situation could be fluid. Brewer is at least worth keeping an eye on in the short term. Rotowire.com Today, 5:39 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

  • Nolan Jones scratched due to illness on Wednesday
    Nolan Jones was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Wednesday night due to illness.

    Advice: Fortunately, he’s not dealing with any serious ailments and should be able to return to action in a day or two. Sean Bouchard will start in his place in left field and will bat sixth for the Rockies against Bobby Miller and the Dodgers. Rotoworld Today, 4:27 pm

  • Scratched Wednesday
    Jones was scratched from the Rockies' lineup before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to illness, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Jones was reportedly feeling unwell ahead of Wednesday's contest, so he'll step out of the lineup and use the day to recover. Sean Bouchard will instead serve as Colorado's left fielder and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 4:21 pm

  • Nolan Jones scratched from Rockies’ lineup
    Nolan Jones was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

    Advice: No word given yet on the reason for the late scratch, but it could simply be that they wanted to get Sean Bouchard in there after he was activated from the injured list on Wednesday. Stay tuned, as the Rockies should have an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Today, 4:04 pm

  • Idle Wednesday
    Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: After starting the series 0-for-6, Adell will receive a day off for Wednesday's rubber match. Kevin Pillar will instead get the nod to start in right field while batting fourth. Rotowire.com Today, 4:02 pm

  • Jo Adell absent from Angels’ lineup on Wednesday
    Jo Adell is absent from the Angels’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Brewers.

    Advice: The streaky 25-year-old outfielder has been more cold than hot as of late — slashing a cringe-inducing .118/.193/.196 with one homer, six RBI and a 23/4 K/BB ratio over 57 plate appearances in 16 games since the calendar flipped to June. He has still provided fantasy managers with power and speed, but eventually something is going to have to give if he can’t make consistent contact. Rotoworld Today, 3:59 pm

  • Lane Thomas scores run in victory over D’Backs
    Lane Thomas drew a walk and scored a run on Wednesday as the Nationals triumphed over the Diamondbacks in Washington.

    Advice: The 28-year-old outfielder worked a two-out walk off of Brandon Pfaadt in the sixth inning and then rode home on Jesse Winker’s go-ahead two-run blast. He finished the afternoon hitless in three at-bats. On the season, the dynamic outfielder is slashing just .228/.292/.386, though he has slugged seven homers and stolen 16 bases (in 20 attempts).

  • Another scoreless outing
    Lopez (5-2) earned the win Wednesday over the Tigers, allowing seven hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six.

    Advice: It's the second straight scoreless outing for Lopez, though he failed to make it through six innings for just the second time in his last six starts. The 30-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to a remarkable 1.57 with a 1.08 WHIP and 76:23 K:BB across 74.1 innings this year. Lopez is currently lined up for a road matchup with the Cardinals early next week in his next start. Rotowire.com Today, 12:54 pm
