  • Josh Jung still dealing with right wrist soreness
    Josh Jung is day-to-day with soreness in his surgically-repaired right wrist.

    Advice: Jung told reporters Tuesday that he hasn’t swung a bat since his last minor league rehab contest back in mid-June and they’re taking things day-by-day at the moment. The 26-year-old third baseman doesn’t appear close to rejoining the Rangers’ lineup at this point and it’s unclear when he’ll be ready to return to game action. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:43 pm

  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Merrifield is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Merrifield's playing time has been trending upward lately, starting four of the Phillies' previous six games. However, he'll yield to Brandon Marsh in left field for Tuesday's series opener in Chicago. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:41 pm
     
  • Still not swinging bat
    Jung (wrist) has not been cleared to swing a bat, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Jung has not swung a bat since his last rehab game on June 20 and admitted Tuesday that his surgically repaired right wrist remains sore. A specialist has confirmed that nothing is structurally wrong with the wrist, but the lingering discomfort is worrisome. There's no timetable for Jung's return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:23 pm

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Loftin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Loftin had started each of the previous five games at third base but picked up just one hit during that stretch. CJ Alexander will get the call at the hot corner for Tuesday's contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:45 pm

  • Hitting injured list
    Kiner-Falefa was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left knee sprain.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa was scratched from Monday's game with a left knee injury and an MRI revealed he's only dealing with a sprain. Still, the utility player will require an IL stint, opening up a spot on the active roster for Leo Jimenez. Kiner-Falefa is slashing .292/.338/.420 with a 13.2 percent K rate this season.

  • Blue Jays place Kiner-Falefa (knee) on 10-day IL
    Blue Jays placed INF Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the 10-day injured list with a right knee sprain.

    Advice: Falefa was scratched from Monday’s lineup due to pain in his left knee, and the Blue Jays will have the infielder miss at least a week-plus while he gets better. He underwent an MRI after the injury, and while the results haven’t been made public yet, it couldn’t have been too good of news if he’s going to miss time. Leo Jimenez has been recalled from Triple-A to replace Kiner-Falefa on the roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:21 pm

  • Back in action
    Brujan (undisclosed) is batting seventh and playing second base Tuesday against Boston.

    Advice: Brujan was scratched from Saturday's game against Philadelphia for unspecified reasons and remained out of the lineup for Sunday's contest. However, he'll enter the starting nine at second base Tuesday while Xavier Edwards plays shortstop. With Tim Anderson booted from the 40-man roster, Brujan should see regular playing time in the infield moving forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:54 am

  • Joey Ortiz (neck) returns to Brewers lineup
    Joey Ortiz is back at third base Monday after a three-game absence due to neck stiffness.

    Advice: Ortiz is leading off with the Brewers facing a lefty tonight. He’ll continue to hit low in the order against righties. Rotoworld Monday, 4:00 pm
     
  • Isiah Kiner-Falefa undergoes MRI on knee
    Isiah Kiner-Falefa said he underwent an MRI after feeling something in his left knee while stretching prior to Monday’s game.

    Advice: This doesn’t sound good. Kiner-Falefa, who is putting together a terrific season as a super-utilityman, was a last-minute scratch before the game today. If he lands on the injured list, it’ll probably mean more regular playing time for Davis Schneider and a longer look for Addison Barger. Rotoworld Monday, 3:18 pm
