    • Out again versus lefty
      Pederson is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Nationals.

      Advice: As usual, Pederson is sitting against a left-hander, as the Nationals are starting southpaw MacKenzie Gore. Ketel Marte is getting a day at designated hitter while Blaze Alexander occupies second base. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
       
    • Swats seventh homer
      Winker went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Arizona.

      Advice: He delivered what proved to be the game-winning hit in the sixth inning when he drove a Brandon Pfaadt splitter over the fence in left-center field. Winker snapped a 25-game homer drought with the blast, but he wasn't exactly slumping, batting .333 (25-for-75) over that stretch. On the season, the 30-year-old outfielder is slashing .266/.380/.406 with seven homers, 11 steals, 33 RBI and 34 runs in 70 contests. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting out Thursday
      Perdomo is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Nationals.

      Advice: Perdomo had started five straight and seven of eight since returning from the injured list, but he'll begin this one on the bench. Kevin Newman will handle shortstop for the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
       
    • Out of Arizona lineup
      Moreno is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Nationals.

      Advice: Moreno started behind the plate each of the last four contests but will get some rest for Thursday's afternoon game. Tucker Barnhart will be the catching half of the battery with Ryne Nelson. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
       
    • Activation possible this weekend
      Abreu (ankle) could be activated during this weekend's series against the Reds, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Abreu played the second game of a rehab assignment for Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, starting in right field, and signaled his readiness for an activation by launching two solo home runs. He's expected to serve as Worcester's DH on Thursday and potentially rejoin the Red Sox on Friday or Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 5:11 am
       
    • Active in win
      Grossman started in left field and went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

      Advice: Grossman ignited a rally in the bottom of the first inning when he drew the first of three two-out walks, stole a base (his third of the season), and eventually scored Texas' first run. He later raced home from first base on a double in the sixth. Grossman has recently become a fixture in the starting lineup against left-handers, usually batting third. He's batting .333 (9-for-27) with a home run, a double, six RBI, a stolen base and five additional runs scored during the month of June. Rotowire.com Today, 4:59 am
       
    • Remains at DH
      Smith started at designated hitter and 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

      Advice: Smith returned from a hamstring injury Tuesday but has been limited to DH duties in both games. The bat, however, still makes an impact. In the bottom of the sixth inning, he doubled in a run then scored a game-tying run. Smith is 3-for-7 with a home run, a double, four RBI and an additional run scored in the two games at DH.

    • Starts against right-hander
      Fairchild started in center field and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Pirates.

      Advice: Fairchild filled in for the injured TJ Friedl (hamstring), getting a rare start against a right-hander. Fairchild is 4-for-44 against righties this season and owns a career .205 mark off them. The Reds are off Thursday, giving Friedl one more recovery day before they kick off a home series against Boston on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 4:36 am
       
    • Gets another start
      Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Pittsburgh.

      Advice: Espinal received a second consecutive start at the hot corner, as Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) was unavailable. This could be a situation where manager David Bell is giving Candelario multiple days off, including an off day Thursday, so that he can ready to go Friday when the Reds open a home series against the suddenly hot Red Sox.
