    • Not starting Thursday
      McCarthy isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Padres.

      Advice: McCarthy was hit by two pitches during Wednesday's loss to the Giants, so the Diamondbacks will give him a recovery day during Thursday's series opener. Pavin Smith will fill in as Arizona's right fielder while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:53 pm
       
    • Red Sox activate Tyler O’Neill, start him in RF
      Red Sox activated OF Tyler O’Neill from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: O’Neill, who missed 10 games with a knee injury, is starting in right field and batting fifth against the Braves today. Red Sox manager Alex Cora also said he’d do a fair amount of DHing, with Rob Refsnyder playing right, in the short term. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:41 am
       
    • Batting fifth in return from IL
      The Red Sox reinstated O'Neill (knee) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's series finale with Atlanta, according to Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald.

      Advice: He'll be back in action after spending the minimum 10 days on the shelf with right knee inflammation. Prior to being deactivated, O'Neill had been making most of his starts in left field or at designated hitter, but he could see regular action in right field for the foreseeable future after Wilyer Abreu (ankle) was placed on the IL on Tuesday.

    • Will be activated Wednesday
      Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow confirmed that O'Neill (knee) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: O'Neill was hitless in a rehab game with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, but more importantly, he came out of the contest with no concerns about his right knee, clearing the way for his return from the IL. The 28-year-old spent the minimum 10 days on the IL. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:03 am
       
    • On base four times in return
      Young went 3-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Mets.

      Advice: The center fielder had missed the prior two games due to swelling in his throwing hand, but Young was the Nationals' most effective offensive weapon in his return, collecting half of the team's six hits on the night. The 24-year-old offers basically no power -- his last extra-base hit was a double on May 19 -- but through 49 games this season he's batting .282 with 17 steals, 25 runs and 16 RBI.

    • Gets three ABs in rehab start
      O'Neill (knee) served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-3 while on rehab assignment for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

      Advice: O'Neill kicked off a rehab assignment and played six innings as the DH for the WooSox. The Red Sox are optimistic he'll need only the minimum 10 days while on the injured list. Wednesday represents O'Neill's earliest possible return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:58 am
       
    • Goes yard again
      Burleson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Astros.

      Advice: Burleson's gone deep in three straight games after a stretch of 12 contests without a homer. He continues to look ready for an everyday role, which has come at a convenient time with the Cardinals missing Lars Nootbaar (oblique) and Tommy Edman (wrist). Burleson is up to a .276/.308/.448 slash line with eight homers, 22 RBI, 17 runs scored, two stolen bases and six doubles over 182 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:07 pm

    • Cora: Tyler O’Neill (knee) to return on Wednesday
      Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Tyler O’Neill (knee) will return on Wednesday.

      Advice: O’Neill went 0-for-3 on Tuesday in a minor league rehab contest for Triple-A Worcester and will rejoin the Red Sox for Wednesday’s showdown against the Braves at Fenway Park. The 28-year-old slugger has been out since late May due to right knee inflammation. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:53 pm
       
    • Jacob Young back in lineup Tuesday against Mets
      Jacob Young (hand) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Mets.

      Advice: Young sat out Monday’s series opener due to right hand inflammation stemming from a hit by pitch over the weekend. The 24-year-old speedster is ready to go for Tuesday’s showdown at Nationals Park. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:06 pm
