    • Out against left-hander
      Benson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.

      Advice: Benson clubbed a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Yankees, but he'll take a seat Wednesday with lefty Carlos Rodon toeing the slab for the opposition. Blake Dunn is covering right field for the Reds. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago

    • Idle again Wednesday
      Gordon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Boston.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Gordon isn't part of the starting nine for a second consecutive contest despite RHP Brayan Bello on the mound for the Red Sox. Bryan De La Cruz, Jazz Chisholm and Jesus Sanchez fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com Today, 11:49 am

    • Could take next recovery step soon
      Ruiz (wrist), who has resumed swinging a bat, could begin running the bases at some point next week, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The speedy outfielder continues to make incremental progress in his recovery from a left wrist strain, and baserunning would appear to be one of the final precursors to a rehab assignment. Given Ruiz also is still likely to engage in some live batting practice before heading to the minors for a few games, he's unlikely to be ready for activation until after the All-Star break.

    • Nationals request release waivers on Rosario
      Nationals requested release waivers on OF Eddie Rosario.

      Advice: Rosario was designated for assignment earlier in the week as the corresponding move for James Wood. Once Rosario and the remainder of his $2 million base salary clear, he’ll become a free agent who can sign with any team. Rosario hit .183 with seven home runs and 26 RBI in 67 games with Washington this year. Rotoworld Today, 8:42 am

    • Released by Washington
      The Nationals released Rosario on Wednesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: Rosario cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now free to sign with another organization. The veteran outfielder slashed a measly .183/.226/.329 for the Nationals before being cut loose, but with a .755 OPS and 21 home runs just a year ago, Rosario should draw interest now that he can be signed on the cheap.

    • Sits against righty
      McCarthy was not in Tuesday's starting lineup against Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller.

      Advice: McCarthy had been a regular against righties, but his playing time is set to take a hit, as the Diamondbacks welcomed back Alek Thomas from a hamstring injury. Thomas' injury, which kept him out for the last three months, resulted in more playing time for McCarthy. He hits lefties better than Thomas, but the righty-hitting Randal Grichuk (.817 OPS against lefties) should be the primary fill-in for Thomas against southpaws. Rotowire.com Today, 4:12 am
       
    • Returns to action
      Thomas started in center field, batted eighth and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

      Advice: Thomas played his first game after being activated off the injured list. He missed three months due to a hamstring injury, and the rehab process lingered, including a setback early in May. Thomas has habitually struggled to hit left-handers, but he should be a lineup staple against right-handers. Rotowire.com Today, 4:01 am
       
    • Notches three hits
      Palacios went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base during Tuesday's win over the Royals.

      Advice: Palacios singled and came around to score in the second inning to give the Rays an early 1-0 lead. Following a 2.5-hour rain delay, he then lined an RBI double into right field in the sixth frame. Another single in the eighth allowed him to swipe a bag -- his 13th steal of the season. The 27-year-old is now slashing .251/.345/.348 on the year and has three multi-hit performances in his last five contests. Rotowire.com Today, 12:43 am
       
    • Breaks homer drought
      Benson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees.

      Advice: Benson snapped a 26-game homerless streak, tagging Luis Gil for a two-run shot in the fifth inning. After enduring an 0-for-25 stretch in the middle of June, Benson looks to be turning the corner, batting 4-for-18 with four runs and six RBI in his last five games. Still, the outfielder is batting .191 with a 39.4 percent strikeout rate on the year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:51 pm
