  • Expected to be optioned
    Dunn appears set to be optioned to Triple-A Nashville prior to Wednesday's game versus the Pirates, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: The Brewers haven't announced any transactions as Wednesday's 1:10 p.m. ET opening pitch approaches, but Dunn no longer had a locker in the clubhouse. Dunn has slashed just .192/.240/.255 since April 16 and has seen his playing time slip, so his expected demotion doesn't come as a surprise. Rotowire.com Today, 8:52 am

  • Getting Wednesday off
    Turang is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: The Brewers are facing left-hander Martin Perez in a day game after a night game, so manager Pat Murphy likely viewed Wednesday's contest as an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Turang a breather. Turang had batted out of the leadoff spot in each of the last seven games, going 8-for-27 (.296 average) with two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs. Rotowire.com Today, 8:46 am
     
  • Justin Turner (illness) available off bench
    Justin Turner remains out of the Blue Jays lineup Wednesday due to illness, though he is available off the bench.

    Advice: Daniel Vogelbach is getting the start at DH. It’s a third straight missed start for Turner. Rotoworld Today, 8:32 am

  • Idle against lefty
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: With the White Sox playing a day game following Tuesday's doubleheader and with a lefty (Patrick Corbin) on the hill for Washington, the lefty-hitting Lopez will get the afternoon off. Zach Remillard checks in for Lopez at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 am

  • Moves up to leadoff spot
    Westburg will start at third base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Westburg will occupy the top spot in the batting order for the first time in his big-league career. Normal leadoff man Gunnar Henderson will shift down to the cleanup spot while Toronto brings in left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Rotowire.com Today, 8:02 am
     
  • Returns to action at Triple-A
    Martinez (knee) has started in both of Triple-A Buffalo's last two games Sunday and Tuesday, going 1-for-7 with a home run and two walks between those contests.

    Advice: Martinez was lifted in Friday's 12-7 win over Worcester when he was hit in the right knee by a pitch in the eighth inning, but after getting Saturday off, the 22-year-old looks to be healthy again. He's posted a .909 OPS through 154 plate appearances with Buffalo this season and should have a chance at making his MLB debut later on in 2024. Rotowire.com Today, 7:42 am

  • Not starting Wednesday
    Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa had started each of the Blue Jays' last seven games, and even after Tuesday's contest was postponed, manager John Schneider will give the infielder some additional rest before Toronto returns to action Friday versus the Rays. Ernie Clement will serve as Toronto's starting third baseman in Kiner-Falefa's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 7:37 am
     
  • Remains out Wednesday
    Turner (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Baltimore.

    Advice: Turner is one of a few Blue Jays players who have been under the weather of late, but he's the only one who will remain on the bench Wednesday. The Blue Jays are off Thursday, so Turner will aim to be back in the lineup Friday versus the Rays. Daniel Vogelbach will step in for Turner on Wednesday as Toronto's designated hitter.

  • Struggling in Hayes' absence
    Triolo went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Tuesday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Even with Nick Gonzales in the majors, Triolo has continued to serve as an everyday player for the Pirates while playing third base in the absence of Ke'Bryan Hayes (back). Triolo's playing time is likely to be in jeopardy once Hayes can return, however, as he has only two hits across his last 27 at-bats and has just a .521 OPS in 157 plate appearances for the season.
