  • Nick Senzel (illness) scratched from Thurs. lineup
    Nick Senzel (illness) was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Ildemaro Vargas will replace Senzel in the series finale. Hopefully the 28-year-old isn’t out for much longer than a game or two but the team is calling it a stomach illness. Rotoworld 7 minutes ago

  • Scratched Thursday
    Senzel was scratched from Washington's lineup ahead of Thursday's game versus the Dodgers due to a stomach illness.

    Advice: Ildemaro Vargas will cover third base instead and bat eighth while Senzel is under the weather. The 28-year-old has hit safely in three of his last four games, homering twice. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Jackson Merrill scratched from Thursday’s lineup
    Jackson Merrill was scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s game with right groin tightness.

    Advice: The team is keeping Merrill out of the lineup as a precautionary measure. Eguy Rosario will start for the Padres on play third base, while Tyler Wade moves to left field and José Azocar goes to center field. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Athletics recall Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A
    Athletics recalled SS Darell Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas

    Advice: The A’s will bring up the 22-year-old infielder who is filling the roster spot for Zack Gelof. Herniaz has struggled at the major league level where he’s slashed .103/.156/.103 in his 17 games this season. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched from lineup Thursday
    Merrill was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado due to right groin tightness, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Padres manager Mike Shildt said the move was precautionary and Merrill could have played, so it sounds safe to call the rookie outfielder day-to-day. Jose Acocar will shift over to center field, Tyler Wade will move to left and Eguy Rosario will enter the lineup at third base. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    Fletcher was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

    Advice: Fletcher appeared in five games for Atlanta after being selected from Triple-A on April 16, going 2-for-8 with two RBI. He will remain in the organization as he returns to the minors, though he no longer holds a spot on the 40-man roster. No corresponding move was announced alongside Fletcher's demotion, which may point toward a potential return from the IL for Ozzie Albies (toe) before Friday's game against Cleveland.

  • Braves outright David Fletcher to Triple-A
    Braves sent INF David Fletcher outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: Fletcher cleared waivers and will head back to the minors. One could speculate this means that Ozzie Albies may return to the lineup soon, which would be a boost for the Braves’ offense and fantasy managers that have him rostered. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago
     
  • A’s officially place Zack Gelof on 10-day IL
    Athletics placed INF Zack Gelof (oblique) on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 24, with a left oblique strain.

    Advice: This doesn’t come as a surprise as the 24-year-old second baseman was diagnosed with the strain Wednesday, but it’s a disappointment for fantasy managers that have him rostered. Abraham Toro is likely to take over at second while Gelof is sidelined. Rotoworld Today, 11:08 am
     
  • Placed on injured list
    The Athletics placed Gelof on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a strained left oblique.

    Advice: Gelof's injury caused him to be a late scratch from Oakland's lineup ahead of Wednesday's game, and it will now officially cost him at least another week and a half. The 24-year-old second baseman hadn't missed a start prior to Wednesday, though he's failed to make the most of his playing time, slashing just .196/.260/.337 with seven RBI across his first 101 plate appearances. Darell Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 11:07 am
