  • Brewers recall Tyler Black from Triple-A Nashville
    Brewers recalled INF Tyler Black from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: He’ll take the place of Oliver Dunn on the Brewers’ active roster after Dunn was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday. Black has done nothing but hit at the Triple-A level this season, but slashed just .227/.261/.318 with zero homers, zero RBI and two stolen bases in 23 plate appearances with the big-league club his last time up. Let’s hope, for fantasy managers’ sake, that he gets a real opportunity for at-bats this time around. Rotoworld Today, 4:32 pm

  • Battling sore shoulder
    Toro has been dealing with shoulder soreness ever since Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Toro's shoulder injury helps explain why he will be missing his second consecutive game Wednesday versus the Royals. The Athletics are still optimistic that the 27-year-old infielder will be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, but he will see a doctor Wednesday in order to determine the best way to approach his injury. Tyler Nevin figures to operate as Oakland's main third baseman while Toro recovers. Rotowire.com Today, 4:17 pm

  • Dispatched to Nashville
    The Brewers optioned Dunn to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

    Advice: Playing time has been hard to come across recently for Dunn, and the emergence of Joey Ortiz hasn't helped. The 26-year-old Dunn has slashed .221/.282/.316 through 104 plate appearances in the big leagues this year and will now head back to the minors to get back on track. Tyler Black was recalled from Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 3:46 pm

  • Recalled to Milwaukee
    The Brewers recalled Black from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

    Advice: Black played in seven games for the Brewers earlier in the season but was sent back to Nashville on May 8 after going just 5-for-22 (.227) at the plate. Since returning to Triple-A, the 23-year-old infielder has slashed .255/.354/.473 with five homers, 23 RBI and eight stolen bases. He doesn't have a clear path to playing time with Rhys Hoskins and Joey Ortiz comfortably locked into everyday roles at first and third base, respectively, but Black's speed makes him a viable pinch runner, and he may be used occasionally against right-handers to give one of the usual starters a day off. Oliver Dunn was optioned to Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 3:37 pm

  • Heading back to bench
    Mendick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Mendick started at second base in each of the last three games, but the White Sox faced two lefty starters and a lefty primary pitcher in those contests. He'll head back to the bench Wednesday while the lefty-hitting Nicky Lopez steps back in at the keystone against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. Rotowire.com Today, 3:20 pm

  • Sitting second straight
    Toro isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Although Toro has slashed .309/.338/.456 against left-handed pitchers this season, the Athletics will give Tyler Nevin another start at third base versus southpaw Cole Ragans. Rotowire.com Today, 2:48 pm

  • Taylor Walls (illness) returns to lineup Wednesday
    Taylor Walls (illness) returned to the Rays’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

    Advice: Walls missed each of the team’s last three games while battling an illness, but he’s finally feeling well enough to return to action on Wednesday. The 27-year-old infielder will play shortstop and will bat eighth against Joe Ryan and the Twins on Wednesday evening in Minnesota. Rotoworld Today, 2:25 pm

  • Getting breather Wednesday
    Rojas isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rojas will take a seat Wednesday after going 4-for-9 with an RBI and three runs scored through the first two games of the series. He will be replaced at shortstop by Enrique Hernandez, who will bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:09 pm

  • Back on bench
    Caballero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Taylor Walls (illness) will return to the lineup at shortstop after missing the Rays' previous three games, leaving no room in the infield for Caballero. Though he's been an everyday player for most of the season and has racked up 22 stolen bases, Caballero looks like he could be limited to a part-time role now that Tampa Bay is back to full strength in the infield.
