  • Jorge Soler (shoulder) continues rehab assignment
    Jorge Soler (shoulder) will play another minor league rehab contest on Thursday for Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: Soler went 0-for-4 with a strikeout on Wednesday in his rehab assignment debut. The 32-year-old slugger checked out fine after being hit in the head by a deflection during batting practice earlier this week and should be ready to return to San Francisco’s lineup at some point in the near future. He landed on the injured list earlier this month with a right shoulder strain. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Chas McCormick playing Friday at Triple-A
    Chas McCormick (hamstring) will play in another minor league rehab game on Friday for Double-A Corpus Christi.

    Advice: There was some hope that McCormick would be ready to return to Houston’s outfield mix on Friday, but he’s going to play in one additional rehab contest before a decision is made. The 29-year-old has gone 2-for-11 in three rehab games so far. He’s been out since early May due to a right hamstring strain. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago

  • Return imminent
    Heyward (back) rejoined the Dodgers on Thursday but was not activated from the injured list, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Heyward began a rehab assignment Tuesday and appeared in two games with Triple-A Oklahoma City, during which he went 0-for-6. Manager Dave Roberts said Heyward is ready to return soon, so it's likely he'll be activated at some point during the Dodgers' weekend series against the Reds. Rotowire.com Today, 4:18 pm

  • Andy Pages not in Thursday’s lineup vs. Reds
    Andy Pages is not in the lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the Reds.

    Advice: Pages will get a night off to reset mentally after going 0-for-9 with six strikeouts over his last two games against the Giants. The 23-year-old rookie has gotten off to a nice start for the Dodgers through 26 games, but is starting to hit his first real rough patch. It’ll be interesting to see how he responds.

  • Day off Thursday
    Pages isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Pages has struck out six times in his last nine at-bats, so the Dodgers will give him a chance to regroup Thursday. Teoscar Hernandez will shift to right field as a result, allowing Chris Taylor to pick up a start in left while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 3:14 pm

  • Sits down Thursday
    Fairchild isn't in the Reds' lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Fairchild has gone 3-for-16 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored since the beginning of May. He will sit on the bench for the third game in a row Thursday while Conner Capel, Will Benson and Jake Fraley man the outfield. Rotowire.com Today, 2:41 pm
     
  • Joey Wiemer (knee) starts rehab assignment
    Joey Wiemer (knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Wiemer landed on the injured list earlier this month with left knee discomfort and could wind up remaining in the minors once his rehab assignment is up. Rotoworld Today, 2:20 pm
     
  • Takes seat Thursday
    McCutchen isn't in the Pirates' lineup Thursday versus the Cubs.

    Advice: McCutchen gets to have some rest after going 8-for-20 in the past 5 games. The 37-year-old went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to Milwaukee. Bryan Reynolds has the start as the designated hitter and Edward Olivares enters the lineup as the right fielder, batting cleanup. Rotowire.com Today, 2:16 pm
     
  • Out of lineup again Thursday
    DeLuca is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Boston.

    Advice: It marks the third time in four games that DeLuca will be on the bench. This is after he had started the previous nine contests in a row. The recent returns of Josh Lowe and Jonathan Aranda have impacted DeLuca's playing time, and the Rays also could be re-committing to Jose Siri in handing him five starts across the last six tilts.
