• Returning to lineup
    Walls (illness) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

    Advice: Walls was unavailable for a few days due to an illness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday. He's started at shortstop in six of 11 games since returning from the injured list June 7. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:39 pm
     
  • Scratched from lineup
    Abrams was scratched from Wednesday's lineup versus the Diamondbacks, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: The Nationals haven't provided an explanation for why Abrams was scratched, but it's worth noting that he collided with Arizona's Corbin Carroll on the latter's stolen-base attempt in Tuesday's 5-0 loss. The team should provide more information on Abrams' condition later Wednesday. Nasim Nunez will pick up a start at shortstop Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:44 pm
     
  • CJ Abrams scratched from Nationals lineup
    CJ Abrams was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup for the game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: No reason was immediately given. Nasim Nuñez is playing shortstop in his place. He went into the ninth spot, so everyone else moved up one place in the lineup. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:40 pm
     
  • Swipes bag in loss
    Mateo went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Mateo remains in a slump -- he's 0-for-10 over his last four games -- but he's picked up two steals over six contests since he returned from a concussion. With Jordan Westburg (hip) leaving Tuesday's game early, Mateo's playing time could rise in the short term if his teammate is forced to miss additional games. Mateo is at a .231/.280/.431 slash line with four home runs, 16 RBI, 22 runs scored and 12 steals across 48 contests this season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:59 am
     
  • Homer, stolen base in win
    Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, two additional runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Moore extended Seattle's lead to 7-1 with a 402-foot blast off Cade Smith in the sixth inning, his seventh long ball of the year and first since May 21. The 31-year-old Moore had been slumping coming into Tuesday's contest, going 5-for-51 in his previous 16 games. Overall, he's slashing .210/.323/.409 with 23 RBI, 27 runs scored and 12 stolen bases across 60 games in a utility role this season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:14 am

  • Volpe drives in one as Yankees down Orioles
    Anthony Volpe went 1-for-5 with one RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Volpe got the scoring started for the Yankees in the second inning when he singled to drive in Austin Wells from third. Volpe’s hit was one of just six hits the Yankees tallied on the evening, as they managed to draw six walks, with five coming against Orioles starter Albert Suárez. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:21 pm
  • Abrams pushes hitting streak to 11 games in loss
    CJ Abrams went 2-for-4 in the Nationals’ loss to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    Advice: Abrams was responsible for two of the Nationals’ four hits on the night, with both coming off starter Slade Cecconi, who was dialed in all evening. Abrams has now hit safely in 11 straight games and is slashing .298/.377/.574 in the month of June. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:17 pm
     
  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Walls (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Minnesota.

    Advice: It's not clear whether Walls remains under the weather or if the Rays had planned to start Jose Caballero at shortstop in this one regardless. Walls has been the club's primary shortstop since coming off the injured list earlier this month. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:52 pm
     
  • Taylor Walls remains out Tuesday with illness
    Taylor Walls (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Twins.

    Advice: Walls will sit out his third straight contest due to an ongoing illness, but we’re assuming he’ll be available off the bench in this one, if needed. The 27-year-old should be ready to roll in a couple days, if not sooner. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:41 pm
