  • 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 Wednesday, 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.

  • 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 Wednesday, 4:21 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 Wednesday, 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 Wednesday, 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).

  • Nolan Gorman swats solo homer in loss to Marlins
    Nolan Gorman belted a solo homer on Wednesday in the Cardinals’ loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Gorman took Marlins starter Yonny Chirinos deep in the second inning for his 16th big fly of the season. It was his lone hit in four at-bats in a low-scoring affair down in Miami. The 24-year-old slugging second baseman is batting just .161 (12-for-70) since the start of July, but half of those hits have left the ballpark, which helps salvage some semblance of fantasy appeal.

  • Taking seat Wednesday
    Schneider is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Schneider will retreat to the bench after he started in each of the past three games while going 2-for-12 with a solo home run, a double and two walks. With Schneider out of the lineup, the Blue Jays will open up a spot in the outfield for Kevin Kiermaier, who will be flanked by Daulton Varsho in left field and George Springer in right field.
