  • Records fifth steal
    Gimenez went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 11-7 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: After ending April with three straight multi-hit efforts, Gimenez has gone a mere 5-for-26 over seven contests to begin May. The steal was his first since April 28. The second baseman is at a .263/.333/.353 slash line through 151 plate appearances, but he's mustered just nine extra-base hits, including only one homer, after logging 15 long balls, 27 doubles and five triples in 153 games a year ago. Gimenez is also striking out at a career-low 15.9 percent rate, though he may need to give back some of his plate discipline to produce more power. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Heading back to bench Wednesday
    Ortiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: After sitting in four straight games to close out this past weekend, Ortiz picked up starts at second base and third base in the Brewers' first two contests in Kansas City, going 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk between those games. The 25-year-old still looks to be the Brewers' preferred option at the hot corner, though he'll give way to Oliver Dunn on Wednesday. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Returns to Triple-A
    The Brewers optioned Black to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

    Advice: After being called up from Nashville last Tuesday, Black got a look in a near-everyday role, starting in five of the Brewers' ensuing seven games. However, the 23-year-old managed just five hits while striking out eight times in 22 at-bats in his first taste of the big leagues, prompting the Brewers to pull the plug on him with Christian Yelich (back) returning from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Black should continue to see regular playing time at Nashville and will likely be one of the top options for a call-up if the Brewers need an extra corner infielder at any point.

  • Lands on injured list
    The Athletics placed Hernaiz on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left ankle injury.

    Advice: Hernaiz suffered the injury during Tuesday's contest versus the Rangers when he stepped awkwardly on first base while trying to beat out an infield hit. It's not clear at this point how long he might be sidelined. Max Schuemann and Brett Harris could handle shortstop for the A's while Hernaiz is out. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Brewers option Tyler Black to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned INF Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: This is a bit of a surprise. The Brewers needed to make a roster move for Christian Yelich and the team decided to send down Black. The 23-year-old had three hits in his first two games with the Brewers, but had just two hits in his past five games. He’ll head back down to Triple-A, but there’s a good chance he gets another opportunity with Milwaukee this season. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago

  • Hits bench against lefty
    Gorman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Gorman will hit the bench for the third time in the four games while the Cardinals have faced a steady diet of left-handed pitching of late. The right-handed-hitting Jose Fermin will man the keystone while Gorman sits against Mets southpaw Jose Quintana. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
     
  • Receiving breather Wednesday
    McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: McNeil is likely just sitting out as part of a planned rest day, as he had started each of the Mets' last 30 games dating back to April 5. Joey Wendle will fill in for McNeil at the keystone. Rotowire.com Today, 9:12 am
     
  • Moving into regular role
    Schneider will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Kevin Kiermaier's return from the injured list Saturday was expected to cost Schneider some playing time, but the latter player will end up making his third straight start Wednesday. The previous two starts came in left field, but Schneider will man the keystone in the series finale in Philadelphia while the lefty-hitting Cavan Biggio heads to the bench against right-hander Aaron Nola. Schneider holds a 201-point edge in OPS over Biggio for the season (.822 to .621), so the Blue Jays could be motivated to give Schneider an extended look at second base while he's swinging the hotter bat of the two.
