  • Not starting Thursday
    Rosario isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Although the Nationals will be matched up against right-hander Reynaldo Lopez on Thursday, Rosario will take a seat after going 4-for-19 with an RBI and two runs scored across his last five games. His absence will allow Jesse Winker to start in left field while Joey Meneses serves as Washington's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 12:46 pm
     
  • Held out Thursday
    Kelenic (wrist) isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic made an early exit from Wednesday's contest after injuring his right wrist on a diving catch in the sixth inning. Initial X-rays came back clean immediately after the game, but Atlanta will err on the side of caution and keep him out for Thursday's series opener. Adam Duvall, Michael Harris and Brian Anderson will start across the outfield with Kelenic out. Rotowire.com Today, 12:39 pm
     
  • Back in majors
    The Rockies recalled Toglia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday

    Advice: With Kris Bryant (ribs) and Sean Bouchard (foot) headed to the injured list, the Rockies will call upon Toglia to add depth to their depleted outfield group. The 25-year-old owns a .505 OPS through 49 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, but he's slashed .277/.363/.571 with nine homers and 27 RBI since being sent down to Triple-A in late April.

  • Rockies promote Toglia from Triple-A
    Rockies recalled INF/OF Michael Togilia from Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Advice: The 25-year-old got a chance earlier in the season thanks to a Kris Bryant injury and it looks like he’ll get another one here. He has hit .106/.143/.362 with four homers, eight RBI, and a 20/1 K/BB ratio in 49 plate appearances and should not be on fantasy radars. Rotoworld Today, 12:05 pm
     
  • Chance for short-term playing time
    Cave went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts Wednesday against the Reds.

    Advice: Cave drew a start in his second consecutive game Wednesday, and he should have the chance to see his playing time tick up in the short term with both Kris Bryant (ribs) and Sean Bouchard (ankle) sidelined. Cave has had limited power production, though he's hit a respectable .247 and has tallied 11 runs scored in 92 plate appearances for the season. Even if his playing time ticks up in the short term, he will likely return to being a bench bat as soon as Nolan Jones (knee) can return. Rotowire.com Today, 6:42 am

  • Expected to be fine
    Manager Craig Counsell said after Wednesday's game versus the White Sox that he believes Morel will be fine after he fouled a ball off his left foot, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Morel had to leave Wednesday's contest because of his foot, and although he never received an X-ray, the Cubs are confident he escaped the incident without any severe damage. There's a chance Morel sits out a game or two in order to recover from any lingering soreness, but a trip to the injured list shouldn't be necessary. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:02 pm
     
  • Clubs leadoff homer
    Julks went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Cubs.

    Advice: Julks gave the White Sox a hot start, homering on Jameson Taillon's first pitch of the game. During his eight-game hitting streak, Julks has gone 11-for-33 (.333) with four extra-base hits and three RBI. It looks like the 28-year-old outfielder could get a look at leadoff while Tommy Pham (ankle) is out, as that's where Julks has batted in the last two games -- against lefty Shota Imanaga on Tuesday and the right-handed Taillon on Wednesday. Julks has a .315/.393/.519 slash line with two homers, six RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases over 61 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:10 pm
     
  • Corey Julks slugs solo homer in loss to Cubs
    Corey Julks went 2-for-4 with a solo homer against the Cubs on Wednesday.

    Advice: Julks started in left field and hit leadoff on Wednesday. He started the game with a solo homer off Jameson Taillon in the first inning to put the White Sox on the board. He later added a base hit in the third and a walk in the eighth. The 28-year-old outfielder is hitting .315/.393/.519 with two homers and two steals over 61 plate appearances. He appears poised to hit leadoff for Chicago on a regular basis while Tommy Pham (ankle) is on the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:14 pm
     
  • Leaves with injured foot
    Morel was removed from Wednesday's game against the White Sox after fouling a ball off his left foot, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Morel looked to be in a considerable amount of pain after getting hit in the foot, but he remained in the game to finish his at-bat, during which he drew a walk. Patrick Wisdom entered the game as a pinch runner, and the Cubs will now take a closer look at Morel. The 24-year-old had gone 5-for-16 with two homers and three RBI across his last five games heading into Wednesday's contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:39 pm
