  • Bogaerts out two months with fractured shoulder
    Padres placed INF Xander Bogaerts on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left shoulder.

    Advice: Ouch. Bogaerts sustained the injury while diving for a ball during the first game of Monday’s doubleheader. He’s expected to miss at least two months while recovering from the injuy. Luis Arraez is covering second base on Wednesday and will probably see additional action there while Bogaerts is shelved. David Peralta was promoted from Triple-A El Paso to take his place on the Padres’ active roster on Wednesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:18 pm
     
  • Jorge Polanco (hamstring) returns to M’s lineup
    Jorge Polanco (hamstring) finally returned to the Mariners’ starting lineup on Wednesday after missing seven consecutive games.

    Advice: The 30-year-old second baseman had been available off the bench the previous two games, but wasn’t used. He’ll hit seventh against left-hander Nestor Cortes and the Yankees on Wednesday evening in New York. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:09 pm
     
  • Retaining regular role at keystone
    Lopez will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Lopez will stick in the lineup for the 11th game in a row, with his starting assignments Tuesday and Wednesday being especially notable in light of Tim Anderson's return from the injured list earlier in the week. Vidal Brujan has been on the bench for both games since Anderson stepped back in as the Marlins' everyday shortstop, signaling that manager Skip Schumaker is content to stick with Lopez at the keystone while the 25-year-old is wielding a hot bat. Through 16 games thus far in May, Lopez is slashing .310/.362/.524 with two home runs, two stolen bases, 10 RBI and six runs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:01 pm
     
  • Moving into reserve role
    Brujan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: After a stretch of 16 consecutive starts, Brujan is on the bench for the second day in a row and appears set to operate as a utility man moving forward. His most recent nine starts came at shortstop, but Tim Anderson returned from the injured list Tuesday and has reclaimed everyday duties at the position. Meanwhile, Brujan looks to have lost out on playing time at second base to Otto Lopez, who has produced an .886 OPS thus far in May while chipping in two home runs and two stolen bases.

  • Resting against lefty
    Turang is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Turang finds himself on the bench for the third game in a row while the Marlins bring another southpaw (Jesus Luzardo) to the hill. Andruw Monasterio will fill in at second base for Turang. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:47 pm
     
  • In lineup again Wednesday
    Hamilton will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

    Advice: Hamilton has now been in the lineup for five of the last six contests, with four of his starts coming at shortstop. With Hamilton getting the bulk of the reps at shortstop lately, Ceddane Rafaela has gone back to seeing most of his action in center field. Hamilton is 5-for-13 with one home run, two doubles, a triple and a stolen base in his last five tilts. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:31 pm
     
  • On bench in second straight
    Berti is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Berti finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row after he had started at third base in each of the preceding three games while going 3-for-9 with a home run and two walks. While he might not have eclipsed Oswaldo Cabrera on the depth chart just yet, Berti has been poaching more work of late from Cabrera, who has mustered an underwhelming .626 OPS since the beginning of May. Both Berti and Cabrera will likely see their playing time suffer when DJ LeMahieu (foot) -- who is currently in the midst of a rehab assignment -- likely returns from the 10-day injured list next week.

  • Returns to bench role
    Clement is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Clement started at third base in six consecutive games from May 10 through 17, but he's since moved back into a utility role with the likes of Justin Turner, Kevin Kiermaier and George Springer all returning to full health after missing out on multiple starts due to illnesses. Isiah Kiner-Falefa has since moved back to the hot corner after previously seeing most of his time at second base when the Blue Jays weren't at full strength. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:08 pm
     
  • Draws fourth straight start
    Palacios will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Palacios will stick in the lineup for the fourth game in a row, with two of his starts having come in right field and one apiece coming in left field and at second base. His blend of speed (seven steals in seven attempts this season) and on-base skills (.347 OBP) looks like it could be enough for Palacios to retain a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching, even though he'll face more competition for playing time moving forward from the likes of Jonny DeLuca, Jose Siri, Amed Rosario and Harold Ramirez after the recent returns of Josh Lowe, Brandon Lowe and Jonathan Aranda from the injured list.
