  • Day off Wednesday
    Garver is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: It would appear to be a routine day off for the designated hitter. Cal Raleigh is getting a start at DH on Wednesday, while Seby Zavala will do the catching for Emerson Hancock. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Logs first steal
    Estrada went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Estrada reached on an error and recorded his first steal of the year to get into scoring position, though he was left on base. Considering he logged a combined 44 steals over the previous two seasons, it's unusual that he's been less active on the basepaths. It doesn't help that he's batting just .229 with a .248 on-base percentage for the year, though those numbers improve to .291 and .316, respectively, over the last 16 games. Estrada is still seeing a starting role at second base despite the early struggles, while Tyler Fitzgerald remains in more of a bench role. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Won't opt out of MiLB deal
    Choi informed the Mets on Wednesday that he won't exercise the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Choi caught on with the Mets on a minor-league deal in February that contained an opt-out clause for May 1 if he wasn't promoted to the big-league roster by that time. The deadline has come and gone without Choi getting a call-up, but the 32-year-old is apparently comfortable enough with his outlook in the organization moving forward to stick around at Syracuse. Over 60 plate appearances with the Triple-A club this season, Choi has slashed .191/.333/.340 with a pair of home runs. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Shipped to Boston
    The Red Sox acquired Short from the Mets on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.

    Advice: Short had been designated for assignment but has now found a new home. The utility infielder is out of minor-league options, so he will join the Red Sox's 26-man active roster. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago

  • Red Sox acquire Zack Short from Mets
    Red Sox acquired INF Zack Short from the Mets in exchange for cash considerations.

    Advice: Short was designated for assignment on Tuesday by the Mets, but it appears the Red Sox were interested in the 28-year-old infielder. He’ll add depth for the Red Sox infield, but he doesn’t hold much fantasy value given his dreadful offensive numbers (1-for-12) through the first month of the season. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago

  • Receiving rest day
    Jimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Jimenez's absence from the lineup looks to be a matter of getting some rest for the day game after a night game. He had started in 14 consecutive games since returning from the injured list in mid-April and slashed .255/.328/.436 with three home runs and a stolen base over that span. Robbie Grossman will fill in for Jimenez on Wednesday as Chicago's designated hitter. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
     
  • Gets breather Wednesday
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Lopez's streak of six consecutive starts will come to an end Wednesday as White Sox manager Pedro Grifol gives the second baseman the afternoon off in a day game after a night game. Braden Shewmake will spell Lopez at the keystone, while designated hitter Robbie Grossman takes over as the White Sox's leadoff hitter. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago

  • Takes seat Wednesday
    Chourio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: The rookie will bow out of the lineup for the series finale while Jake Bauers picks up a start in left field alongside Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick. After opening his big-league career by producing hits in 11 of his first 13 games, Chourio has fallen into a massive slump since mid-April. Over his subsequent 14 games, Chourio has gone 6-for-43 (.140) while getting on base at a .196 clip. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to bench Wednesday
    Ortiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Ortiz looks to be getting some routine maintenance for the day game after a night game, with Oliver Dunn spelling him at third base. The rookie had started at third base or second base in each of the past five games, reaching base at a .476 clip while recording four extra-base hits (one home run, three doubles) and a stolen base during that stretch.
