  • Getting Thursday off
    Singleton isn't in the Astros' lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Singleton went 1-for-11 with five strikeouts through the first three games of Houston's series with the Mariners, so he'll get a day to regroup Thursday. Jose Abreu will draw a start at first base instead, batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 10:34 am
     
  • Not starting Thursday
    Diaz isn't in the Astros' lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Diaz has slashed just .207/.221/.268 since the beginning of May, and he'll now sit down for the final game of Houston's series in Seattle. Victor Caratini will take over behind the plate and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 10:31 am

  • Not in Thursday's lineup
    McCarthy is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: McCarthy had started each of the last three games against right-handed pitchers, but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Mets go with righty Christian Scott as their starter. Pavin Smith will hold down right field. Rotowire.com Today, 10:28 am
     
  • Logs seven total bases off bench
    Heyward went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a triple in a 10-3 win against the Mets on Wednesday.

    Advice: Heyward didn't start the contest, but he was called upon to pinch hit for Andy Pages in the eighth inning and smacked a triple before eventually coming around to score. The veteran outfielder got another at-bat in the ninth and came through with a solo homer to right-center field. Since returning from a lengthy stay on the injured list May 17, Heyward has slashed .231/.310/.538 with a pair of homers, three RBI, four runs and a stolen base over 29 plate appearances.

  • Goes deep Wednesday
    Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Mets.

    Advice: Ohtani knocked a run-scoring single in the fifth inning and capped his performance with a two-run blast in the eighth. The long ball was first since May 17 and pushed him to 14 on the campaign, eighth-most in the majors. Ohtani has added 38 RBI, 41 runs, 13 stolen bases and a .330/.395/.615 slash line through 248 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 10:17 am
     
  • Not among starting nine
    Raley is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: It's the first time since May 7 that Raley wasn't not in the lineup when the Mariners were facing a right-hander. Seattle is going with Dominic Canzone and Mitch Haniger as its corner outfield duo against Spencer Arrighetti. Rotowire.com Today, 10:07 am

  • Pulled off rehab assignment
    Sano (knee) was pulled off his rehab assignment Thursday and returned to Anaheim, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Sano had been close to returning from his left knee injury, but he experienced a setback recently when he burned himself with a heating pad. He'll get some more time off to allow the burn to properly heal and will restart a rehab assignment once the Angels feel he's ready to do so. Rotowire.com Today, 10:02 am

  • Miguel Sanó taken off rehab assignment
    Angels removed Miguel Sanó (burned knee) from his rehab assignment.

    Advice: The veteran burned his left knee last weekend after taking the protection off his heating pad to make it hotter. The burn has not healed, so the team has brought him back to Anaheim, and there is no timetable for his return. Yes, all of that is true. Rotoworld Today, 9:58 am

  • Joey Wendle elects free agency
    Joey Wendle rejected an outright assignment from the Braves and elected free agency.

    Advice: Wendle was waived by the Braves on Monday to make room for Sean Murphy on the active roster, but he has no intention of playing in the minor leagues. The veteran, who is hitting .222 with zero home runs in 36 at-bats this season, will hope to latch on with another team. Rotoworld Today, 9:53 am
