    • 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.

    • Set to be evaluated
      Beck (hand) is flying to Denver on Tuesday or Wednesday to be evaluated by team doctors, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Beck has shed the cast on his hand and has resumed baseball activities, so the visit is presumably to determine the next steps in his recovery. He'll likely need a rehab assignment, which could be on the horizon if things check out well. Rotowire.com Today, 9:49 am

    • Three hits in loss
      Melendez went 3-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Rays.

      Advice: Melendez accounted for half of the Royals' hits in the loss. This was his second multi-hit effort in the last three games, but he went just 3-for-19 over a seven-game stretch prior to his recent rebound. The outfielder continues to struggle overall with a .191/.258/.366 slash line, eight home runs, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and two stolen bases through 256 plate appearances in a strong-side platoon role.

    • Homers in Tuesday's win
      Wade went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.

      Advice: Wade has gone 3-for-13 (.231) with two walks over three games since he returned from missing a month with a hamstring injury. The 30-year-old had been hitting atop the order prior to the injury, but the Giants have had him in the No. 2 spot with Jorge Soler at leadoff recently. Wade has just three homers over 55 games this year, but he's maintained a .324/.459/.437 slash line with 18 RBI, 24 runs scored and a stolen base. His 19.8 percent walk rate has helped to keep his ratios strong even if he's lacking in counting stats. Rotowire.com Today, 9:41 am
       
    • 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
       
    • 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
