    • Gathers hit, RBI in win
      O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Phillies.

      Advice: O'Neill returned from a knee injury and served as Boston's designated hitter. He tried to stretch a single into a double in the first inning but was thrown out, which suggests O'Neill's knee is feeling better. He later plated a run on a sacrifice fly during the Red Sox's five-run fifth inning, which helped wipe out Philadelphia's early 4-0 lead. Rotowire.com Thursday, 5:54 am
       
    • Homers off bench Wednesday
      Robert hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

      Advice: Robert was able to extend the contest with his game-tying blast in the ninth inning. The outfielder has four homers over eight games since he returned from a hip injury, but he's added just one other hit while posting a 3:13 BB:K in that span. He's up to six homers on the year with a .196/.250/.554 slash line through 60 plate appearances. Robert is still seeing steady rest given his lengthy injury history, though his power is a welcome addition to a fairly punchless lineup -- he already has the fourth most homers among White Sox batters this year.

    • Luis Robert Jr. slugs game-tying homer off the bench
      Luis Robert Jr. went 1-for-1 with a solo homer against the Mariners on Wednesday.

      Advice: Robert Jr. was on the bench for this one and entered the game as a pinch-hitter to lead off the top of the ninth. With the White Sox trailing by one run, he took Mike Baumann deep to tie things up. The 26-year-old outfielder is slashing .196/.250/.554 with six homers, nine RBI, and one steal across 60 plate appearances. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:22 pm
       
    • Sitting Wednesday
      Robert isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Wednesday's game against Seattle.

      Advice: Robert has slashed .148/.233/.481 with three homers and four RBI in seven games since returning from the injured list. He'll get a breather Wednesday while Corey Julks, Oscar Colas and Zach DeLoach start across the Sox's outfield. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:56 pm
       
    • Luis Robert Jr. getting a night off on Wednesday
      Luis Robert Jr. is not in the White Sox’ starting lineup for Wednesday evening’s tilt against the Mariners.

      Advice: The White Sox have been careful as they ease their 26-year-old superstar back into action after missing nearly two months with a hip injury. He’ll presumably be available off the bench in this one. On the season, he’s slashing just .182/.237/.491 to go along with five homers, eight RBI and one swipe in his first 14 games.

    • Returning as DH on Wednesday
      O'Neill (knee) will serve as Boston's designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: O'Neill hadn't played in any of the Red Sox's last three games due to right knee inflammation and looked to be at risk of a return to the 10-day injured list, but the 28-year-old was apparently able to show enough improvement over the last few days to avoid being deactivated again. Masataka Yoshida should settle in as the Red Sox's primary DH after returning from the IL on Tuesday, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday to facilitate O'Neill's return to the lineup. It's unclear when the Red Sox might be comfortable with having O'Neill make starts in the corner outfield. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:46 pm
       
    • Tyler O’Neill back in the lineup on Wednesday
      Tyler O’Neill is back in the lineup for the Red Sox on Wednesday, hitting third and playing designated hitter against the Phillies.

      Advice: This is the plan that manager Alex Cora outlined earlier in the week, and the Red Sox are staying on track with it for now. The hope is that O’Neill will be able to move back to the outfield later this week, which will allow the Red Sox to also play Masataka Yoshida, who returned from the IL but is on the bench on Wednesday with O’Neill at DH.

    • Not playing versus right-handers
      McCormick is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: It marks the fifth time in a row that McCormick has been out of the lineup versus a right-hander. He did draw a start each of the last three game against lefties, but it would appear at the moment that McCormick's role is as a short-side platoon bat. Yordan Alvarez and Trey Cabbage are handling the corner outfield spots and Jon Singleton will be the designated hitter for the Astros on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:27 am
       
    • Gaining traction in lineup
      Chourio will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Chourio will stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, with three of his starts coming against right-handed pitching during that stretch. The rookie went 4-for-13 with a home run, a double and two walks over his previous four starts, and his recent surge at the plate could be enough for him to unseat the lefty-hitting Jake Bauers as a regular in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. Bauers is in the lineup Wednesday against Toronto righty Chris Bassitt, but he was on the bench for two of the Brewers' previous three matchups with right-handers. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:16 am
