    • Gets third straight start
      Cave will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Padres, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Cave will start in right field for the Rockies' third straight matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher and looks to have supplanted Sean Bouchard as the primary option at that position. Despite the uptick in playing time, Cave will likely soon be headed for a reserve role with Kris Bryant (back) trending toward a return from the 10-day injured list as soon as this weekend.

    • Goodman, Bouchard again sitting for Rockies
      Hunter Goodman and Sean Bouchard are both on the bench for a third straight game Wednesday against the Padres.

      Advice: The Rockies won the first two games of the series with Elehuris Montero at first and Jake Cave in right, so they’re not changing anything today. The handling of Goodman, one of the team’s best prospects, has been bizarre; he’s started just six of 19 games since his callup. One imagines he’ll be sent down soon. Bouchard, who has 160 points of OPS on Cave, had started seven straight games before taking a seat Monday. Rotoworld Today, 10:38 am
       
    • Sitting against lefty
      Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

      Advice: He finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row while the Brewers bring southpaw Robert Gasser to the hill. The lefty-hitting Tellez will give way to the right-handed-hitting Connor Joe at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 10:04 am
       
    • Mets officially call up Mark Vientos
      Mets recalled 3B Mark Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse.

      Advice: The Mets probably should have swapped Brett Baty out here and given Vientos a real chance at third base. Instead, those two apparently will split time for now. Vientos went 3-for-7 with a homer in his earlier stint with the Mets this season. He was hitting .284/.376/.500 with six homers in 133 plate appearances for Norfolk. He might eventually be a mixed-league option if he becomes an everyday guy. Rotoworld Today, 9:30 am

    • Summoned from Triple-A
      The Mets recalled Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

      Advice: He'll assume the 26-man active roster spot of infielder Joey Wendle, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Vientos will likely be limited to a short-side platoon role at third base behind the lefty-hitting Brett Baty while he's up with the big club. Rotowire.com Today, 9:10 am

    • Begins rehab assignment
      Bryant (back) went 0-for-2 with a walk in his first rehab game with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

      Advice: Bryant played first base in what was his first game action since he went down with a lower-back strain a month ago. It's possible he will be ready to rejoin the Rockies for their weekend series in San Francisco. Bryant slashed only .149/.273/.255 over 13 games before getting injured. Rotowire.com Today, 6:18 am

    • Sitting Tuesday
      Tellez isn't in the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

      Advice: Tellez has recorded just one hit across his last 22 plate appearances in an eight-game span. In his absence, Connor Joe will start at first base and bat cleanup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:28 pm
       
    • Promotion imminent
      The Mets will recall Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Vientos has slashed .233/.343/.400 across 35 plate appearances since being sent down to Triple-A on April 30, and he will now return to New York -- presumably forming a platoon at third base with Brett Baty. Vientos went 3-for-7 with a two-run homer during his first stint in the majors. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:26 pm

    • Report: Mets calling up Mark Vientos on Wednesday
      Mike Mayer of Metsmerized reports the Mets are calling up Mark Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse.

      Advice: SNY’s Andy Martino adds that the Mets are planning to split time at third base between Vientos and Brett Baty moving forward. It’s hardly an ideal arrangement for fantasy purposes, but Baty simply hasn’t produced enough to play everyday, especially against left-handed pitching. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:11 pm
