  • Moving into regular role
    Schneider will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Kevin Kiermaier's return from the injured list Saturday was expected to cost Schneider some playing time, but the latter player will end up making his third straight start Wednesday. The previous two starts came in left field, but Schneider will man the keystone in the series finale in Philadelphia while the lefty-hitting Cavan Biggio heads to the bench against right-hander Aaron Nola. Schneider holds a 201-point edge in OPS over Biggio for the season (.822 to .621), so the Blue Jays could be motivated to give Schneider an extended look at second base while he's swinging the hotter bat of the two.

  • Losing grip on regular role
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Biggio will hit the bench for the fifth time in six games, with three of those absences coming while the Blue Jays have faced left-handed starting pitchers and two coming versus righties. The 29-year-old has maintained a strong-side platoon role at second base for much of the season, but with his OPS sitting at .621 through 29 games, Biggio looks like he could lose work to Davis Schneider moving forward.

  • Cutting down on strikeout rate
    Gonzales has a 17.4 percent strikeout rate across 132 plate appearances with Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: Gonzales struck out at around a 28 percent clip for most of his stops in the minor leagues, so his current rate stands out positively. He's also posted a .254 ISO and 167 wRC+, albeit in his age-25 season. The Pirates have struggled to score runs consistently in the first full month of the new campaign, and Jared Triolo has only a .043 ISO and 67 wRC+ as the team's current regular second baseman. If Gonzales keeps hitting well, he could get a second shot at the majors in short order. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

  • White Sox select Zach Remillard
    White Sox selected the contract of INF Zach Remillard from Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Remillard was outrighted to the minors last week after he cleared waivers. The 30-year-old doesn’t offer anything for fantasy managers and will continue to be an organizational depth piece for Chicago. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes first bag of season
    Berti went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Astros.

    Advice: Getting the start at third base and batting ninth, Berti nabbed his first steal of the year in the sixth inning. The veteran utility player has started two straight games since returning from a groin injury, both at third base, and with DJ LeMahieu (foot) still lacking a clear timeline for his return, Berti should be in line for consistent work around the Yankees' infield.

  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Donovan is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: With left-hander Jose Quintana toeing the slab for the Mets, the Cardinals have elected to give the left-handed hitting Donovan a breather. Lars Nootbaar will be in left field and Dylan Carlson will handle right. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

  • Back in big leagues
    The White Sox selected Remillard's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Advice: He's absorbing the 26-man and 40-man roster spot vacated by Robbie Grossman, who was traded to the Rangers. Remillard, 30, has slashed .250/.292/.316 over 165 plate appearances during the last two seasons with the White Sox. He will operate in a utility role and could get some starts versus southpaws.

  • Belts eighth homer
    Paredes went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: The 25-year-old continues to rake. Paredes has seven multi-hit performances in the last 12 games, a stretch in which he's batting .362 (17-for-47) with a 6:4 BB:K. The surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .299/.384/.520 with eight homers and 19 RBI, and with top prospect Junior Caminero tearing it up himself at Triple-A Durham (.340/.392/.681 over his last 12 games), Paredes is doing his best to ensure he won't lose his spot in the starting lineup once the Rays call up the 20-year-old phenom.

  • Sitting out Wednesday

    Advice: Freeman started in each of the Guardians' last five games but will begin Wednesday's tilt on the bench. Will Brennan will fill in for Freeman in center field. Rotowire.com Today, 7:25 am
