  • Mets-Cardinals postponed Wednesday
    Quintana and the Mets won't face the Cardinals on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in St. Louis, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The two teams will make up the game Aug. 5. Assuming Quintana wasn't too overtaxed from his warmup prior to Wednesday's game being postponed, he could have his next start pushed back to Friday's series opener versus Atlanta following Thursday's team off day.

  • Back on track with sixth save
    Estevez retired all three batters he faced with two strikeouts to earn the save Wednesday against the Pirates.

    Advice: The right-hander pitched a scoreless ninth Tuesday in a blowout victory in his first appearance of May, and Estevez has delivered back-to-back scoreless appearances after he gave up six runs in his previous four outings. He's converted six of eight save chances and has a 5.06 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 13:0 K:BB across 10.2 innings this year. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Checks back into starting nine
    Espinal will start at third base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Espinal saw a streak of six consecutive starts come to an end in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to Arizona, and before that, he enjoyed a stretch of 11 consecutive starts. He looks as though he could fall into regular playing time once again, as the Reds placed Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Jeimer Candelario will move over from his usual spot at third base to cover Encarnacion-Strand's post at first base, opening up the hot corner for Espinal. Despite seeing plenty of usage in his utility role this season, Espinal has provided the Reds with underwhelming numbers (.169 average, one home run, four stolen bases, 12 RBI and five runs) across 90 plate appearances.

    New Player Note
     
  • Sits out Wednesday
    Jeffers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: He will be given a breather while Christian Vazquez does the catching for Chris Paddack. Jeffers has been fantasy's No. 3 catcher so far in Roto leagues, hitting .299 with seven home runs and 26 RBI. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Moves past sore knee
    Wilson (knee) has made two relief appearances since exiting early in a 6-4 loss to the Padres on April 30, recording two outs while surrendering four earned runs on four hits and no walks.

    Advice: After leaving the April 30 game when he took a line drive off his right knee, Wilson was sent in for X-rays, which revealed no major damage. He went unused for the next couple of days before he was summoned out of the bullpen Friday and Tuesday. He struck out the lone batter he faced in Friday's 3-0 loss to Baltimore, but he was bludgeoned for four hits -- including two home runs -- in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to Arizona.

  • Taking seat Wednesday
    McCarthy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: McCarthy maintains a .369 on-base percentage over 86 plate appearances this season and has seemingly moved into an everyday role in the outfield while Alek Thomas (hamstring) is on the shelf, but the 26-year-old will hit the bench Wednesday. The Diamondbacks haven't indicated that the lefty-hitting McCarthy is dealing with an injury, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 6-2 win and is now on the bench Wednesday while the Reds bring a right-hander (Graham Ashcraft) to the hill. Pavin Smith will replace McCarthy in the Arizona outfield. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
