  • Hits bench Thursday
    Wade is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Wade went 0-for-6 with three walks and an RBI while starting at first base in each of the last three games, but he'll get a day off as the Giants and Red Sox wrap up their series with an afternoon contest. Wilmer Flores will join the San Francisco infield as a replacement for Wade. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting versus lefty
    Mullins is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: The Yankees are going with southpaw Carlos Rodon as their starting pitcher, so the Orioles have elected to give the left-handed hitting Mullins a day off. It will be Ryan McKenna occupying center field for Baltimore. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Heads to bench Thursday
    Mervis is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Patrick Wisdom will get the nod at designated hitter while Mervis sits for the second time in three games. Mervis has still started in seven of the Cubs' last 10 games overall, but he's gone just 3-for-23 with one walk over that stretch. The 26-year-old could soon be at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Iowa if he doesn't turn things around in the near future. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

The off day comes while Swanson has gone 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts against one walk over his last five games. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
