    • Initiates rehab assignment Tuesday
      Marte (suspension) began a rehab assignment Tuesday and is a combined 3-for-10 with a double and two runs scored in two games for Triple-A Louisville.

      Advice: Marte, who is in the final two weeks of an 80-game suspension after testing positive for a banned substance (Boldenone), served at third base Tuesday then designated hitter Wednesday and played all nine innings in each contest. He's eligible to return from suspension June 27. Marte slashed .316/.366/.456 in 35 games and 123 plate appearances in the big leagues last season and is expected to be the team's primary third baseman once ready. Rotowire.com Thursday, 5:23 am

    • Jordan Westburg gets a day off on Wednesday
      Jordan Westburg is not in the Orioles’ lineup against the Braves on Wednesday.

      Advice: It’s a routine day off for the 25-year-old who has struggled to open the month of June, hitting .208/.224/.438 with two home runs, 11 strikeouts, and one walk in 11 games. Perhaps a day off will get him back on track. Jorge Mateo will move to second base with Ramon Urias at third base while Westburg is out. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:11 pm

    • Getting rest Wednesday
      Westburg is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Westburg will retreat to the bench Wednesday for what appears to be a routine maintenance day after he had started in 11 consecutive games. His absence will open up a spot in the starting nine for Ramon Urias, who will get the nod at third base. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:57 am

    • Joey Ortiz day-to-day with hamstring injury
      Joey Ortiz is not in the Brewers’ lineup on Tuesday as he is undergoing testing on his hamstring.

      Advice: Ortiz is being examined today after missing yesterday’s game with a sore right hamstring. Since the Brewers have an off day tomorrow, Ortiz being on the bench on Wednesday allows him to have more rest. We’ll likely know more about his status after the game today. Oliver Dunn is starting at third base for Ortiz on Wednesday and batting eighth. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:18 am

    • Noelvi Marte has two hits in Triple-A season debut
      Noelvi Marte went 2-for-5 with a double on Tuesday for Triple-A Louisville.

      Advice: Marte was back in minor-league action on Tuesday evening for the first time this season as he has less than 20 games left on a league-issued 80-game suspension following a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance. Cincinnati’s infield picture is a lot less crowded at this juncture than it was back in spring training, so he has a pretty clear path to regular at-bats once he’s eligible to return.
