    • Two hits in return to majors
      Vientos went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

      Advice: Called back up form Triple-A Syracuse earlier in the day, Vientos got the start at third base against lefty Ranger Suarez and made an immediate impact, driving home Francisco Lindor with a first-inning double. Vientos' time in the majors could last a little longer this time after he was up for about a week in late April, but the 24-year-old could still see limited action and is expected to serve mainly as a short-side platoon option at the hot corner behind Brett Baty. Through 31 games at Triple-A this year, Vientos is slashing .284/.376/.500 with six homers and 30 RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 8:14 am
       
    • Homers Wednesday
      Ortiz went 2-for-2 with a solo homer, two walks and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Ortiz is now 5-for-10 with three extra-base hits and a .615 OBP over his last three games while securing the everyday third-base job in Milwaukee. Overall, the 25-year-old Ortiz is slashing .277/.384/.511 with four homers, 12 RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base through 37 games this season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:13 am
       
    • Pops homer in loss
      Espinal went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Epsinal cracked his second home run of the season in the fifth inning and has hit safely in five straight games, going 6-for-15. The infielder is playing more than originally projected, filling in at second base for Matt McLain (shoulder) or third for Noelvi Marte (suspension), but Espinal's .200 average and .536 OPS are not enticing.

    • Three-hit effort in win
      Madrigal went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's 7-1 win over Atlanta.

      Advice: All three hits were singles as Madrigal earned his fourth multi-hit effort in 39 contests this season. The infielder is slashing .234/.300/.281 with no home runs, nine RBI, four runs scored and one stolen base over 69 plate appearances. Madrigal had been limited to a bench role for much of the season, but he's receiving more playing time while Dansby Swanson (knee) is on the injured list and Nico Hoerner (hamstring) is out of the lineup.

    • Playing time picking up
      Mastrobuoni will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: With Dansby Swanson (knee) recently going on the injured list and with Nico Hoerner (hamstring) out of the lineup for the second day in a row, Mastrobuoni has been the main beneficiary from a playing-time perspective. He'll draw his fifth start in seven games Wednesday and could continue to see fairly steady playing time in the middle infield even if Hoerner avoids a trip to the IL.

    • Brewers demote Oliver Dunn to Triple-A
      Brewers optioned INF Oliver Dunn to Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: Dunn got some time as the Brewers’ leadoff man last month, but he wound up hitting a modest .226/.278/.333 in 90 plate appearances during his first stint in the majors. There’s still some hope for him as a platoon option at second or third, but he needs to shed some strikeouts; he had a 39% K rate his first time around the league. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:42 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 Yesterday, 9:30 am
       
    • Heading to minors
      The Brewers optioned Dunn to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

      Advice: Though he served as Milwaukee's designated hitter in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates, Dunn's playing time had been relatively sparse since mid-April with Joey Ortiz overtaking him as the preferred option at third base. As a left-handed hitter, Dunn wasn't a fit for the Brewers as a strong-side platoon player, either, so he'll head to Nashville to get some everyday playing time. Outfielder Chris Roller was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:29 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 Yesterday, 9:10 am
