  • 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 33 minutes ago

  • Absent from Wednesday's lineup
    Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: Goldschmidt is hitless in May and the Cardinals have discussed the possibility of giving him a few days off to clear his head and work on things. However, it's not yet clear whether this is the first of multiple days off or just a one off. Alec Burleson will handle first base in Goldschmidt's stead. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Getting into rhythm
    Aranda (finger) went 4-for-5 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

    Advice: Aranda has been on a rehab assignment since April 26 and went hitless in his first 19 at-bats. However, he's since seen some improved results, collecting at least one hit in three straight games. The Rays may let him continue to heat up with Durham, but Aranda should be back with the big-league club soon. He also should have the chance to get regular at-bats upon activation at a combination of second base, third base and designated hitter. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Big day against Houston
    Verdugo went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Astros.

    Advice: The 27-year-old got the rout started for the Yankees by launching a three-run homer off Justin Verlander in the bottom of the first inning. Verdugo has gone yard three times in his last eight games while batting .324 (11-for-34), and the surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .275/.362/.450 with five homers, one steal, 17 RBI and 19 runs in 34 contests.

  • Rangers acquire Robbie Grossman from White Sox
    Rangers acquired OF Robbie Grossman in exchange for RHP Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa.

    Advice: The 34-year-old veteran spent the 2023 season with the Rangers where he slashed .238/.340/.394 across 420 plate appearances. He’s had a poor season with the White Sox and is on pace for his worst OPS since 2015 when he was with the Astros. He’s likely to add depth to Texas’ outfield, but he’s a non-factor for fantasy managers. Rotoworld 38 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.

  • Hits in three straight
    Ramos went 1-for-3 with a walk Tuesday against the Rays.

    Advice: Ramos has made three straight starts at third base since being promoted to the majors. While it's a limited sample, he's held his own by collecting one hit in all three games. Ramos has also struck out only once in the first 11 plate appearances of his career. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Traded to Rangers
    The Rangers acquired Grossman from the White Sox on Wednesday in exchange for Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa.

    Advice: Grossman won a World Series ring with the Rangers last season and they've now elected to bring him back into the fold. The 34-year-old will provide some outfield/designated hitter depth while Wyatt Langford (oblique) is out and should see some starts against left-handed pitching. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting out multiple games possible
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Tuesday that the team has considered sitting Goldschmidt for a few games as the first baseman works on his swing, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: It doesn't sound like anything has been decided on Goldschmidt, with Marmol noting the club is "evaluating everything in order to get him right." In six games so far in May, Goldschmidt is 0-for-23 with a 10:3 K:BB. He's slashing just .196/.287/.263 on the season with a 30.9 percent strikeout rate. If the Cards do elect to give Goldschmidt a little break, Alec Burleson would likely handle first base. Rotowire.com Today, 6:17 am
