  • Getting day off
    Schuemann is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota.

    Advice: Schuemann wore the golden sombrero in Wednesday's loss to the Padres, so he will be given the day off Thursday to regroup. Aledmys Diaz will draw the start at shortstop. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:54 pm
     
  • Dylan Moore back from paternity list
    Mariners reinstated INF/OF Dylan Moore from the paternity list.

    Advice: Moore was gone for three days. He’ll resume playing pretty regularly between second, third and left, giving him some value in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:12 am

  • Returns from paternity leave
    The Mariners reinstated Moore (personal) from the paternity list Thursday.

    Advice: Moore has been away from the team since Monday to spend time with his family, and he will now return to the Mariners ahead of Thursday's series finale against the White Sox. The 31-year-old has slashed .160/.233/.200 with two RBI and five runs scored since the beginning of June. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:00 am

  • On verge of rehab assignment
    Polanco (hamstring) is slated to run the bases before Thursday's game against the White Sox and then head out on a rehab assignment, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Advice: Polanco has been progressively ramping up his level of activity in recent days, apparently without any setbacks. MLB.com reports that general manager Justin Hollander indicated team trainers would jointly assess Polanco's condition with the veteran infielder following Thursday's activity, at which point the length of the rehab assignment would likely be determined.

  • Twins bring up Austin Martin from Triple-A
    Twins recalled INF/OF Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: He replaces Alex Kirilloff. Martin earned another look by hitting .290/.466/.387 with a 7/21 K/BB ratio in 88 plate appearances in Triple-A. Manuel Margot has gotten hot this month, so we’ll have to see just how much playing time Martin gets in the Twins’ outfield rotation. He’s also an option at second base, but he’s a weaker one than Willi Castro. During his earlier stints with the Twins, all 23 of his starts came in left or center. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:26 am

  • Back with big club
    The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Advice: He's switching spots with Alex Kirilloff, who has been optioned to St. Paul. Martin has slashed just .224/.289/.355 across 30 games at the big-league level this season. He could see some action versus lefties, but the 25-year-old's playing time is unlikely to be steady. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:19 am

  • Beginning rehab assignment
    Williams (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

    Advice: Williams has been absent for most of this month with a right wrist sprain but is feeling well enough to test himself in a game setting. He's eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list at any time and shouldn't need a lengthy rehab assignment, given his brief absence. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:13 am

  • Alika Williams (wrist) begins rehab assignment
    Alika Williams, who is on the injured list with a sprained wrist, is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

    Advice: The Pirates might send down Williams once the brief rehab assignment ends. He was hitting just .210/.234/.290 in 68 plate appearances before landing on the IL. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:13 am

  • Not in Thursday's lineup
    Loftin is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Yankees.

    Advice: Loftin had started each of the last five games at second base, but he will begin Thursday's contest on the bench. Garrett Hampson will occupy the keystone for the Royals as they try to avoid a sweep. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:56 am
