    • Sent outright to Triple-A
      The Marlins outrighted Bethancourt to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

      Advice: Bethancourt cleared waivers after exiting the Marlins' 40-man roster a week ago. The catcher can elect free agency if he wants, and it's not yet clear whether he'll take that option or accept an outright assignment. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
       
    • Launches ninth homer
      Conforto went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Conforto launched a two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the second to put the Giants up 2-1 and was directly followed by another solo shot off the bat of David Villar. The outfielder has now posted at least one RBI in three consecutive games and in four of his last five overall. However, Conforto still has just one multi-hit effort this month, where he's now batting .125 with two homers, nine RBI and four runs scored. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
       
    • Starts rehab assignment
      Quijada (elbow) struck out the side in his first rehab appearance with the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate Wednesday.

      Advice: It's a promising start as Quijada continues down the comeback trail from last May's Tommy John surgery. The left-hander will eventually move up to a higher affiliate and figures to need most, if not all, of his allotted 30 days during his rehab assignment. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
       
    • Gets another turn at 3B
      Espinal started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to Pittsburgh.

      Advice: Espinal started at third base for the seventh time in the last eight games, as Jeimer Candelario's knee and hamstring issues are impacting his usage. Candelario, who sat out Wednesday, has been used at first base or DH in four of his last five games. Espinal is 5-for-25 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored over his last seven games. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
       
    • Lands on IL with back strain
      The Brewers recalled Dunn from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday and placed him on the 10-day injured list with a back strain.

      Advice: Dunn was optioned to Nashville last week, but it turns out that he had been dealing with a back injury so he will go on the IL instead. It's not clear how long he might be sidelined, but the infielder could be optioned again once he's healthy. Rotowire.com Today, 6:22 am

    • Three straight starts
      Caballero went 3-for-3 with a run scored Wednesday against the Mariners.

      Advice: Caballero looked to be the odd man out when Taylor Walls returned from the injured list, but he's started in three straight games and four of the Rays' last five games. In part, that's because Brandon Lowe (toe) has been sidelined, though the Rays have also played Caballero at third base and shortstop during his recent uptick in playing time. He's hit a decent .243 this season, though most of his fantasy value comes from his 24 stolen bases. Rotowire.com Today, 6:20 am
       
    • Smacks third homer
      Matos went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs.

      Advice: Matos jumped on a hanging knuckle-curve from Drew Smyly in the fifth and sent it into the stands in left-center field for his third home run of the campaign and first since May 18 against Colorado. It marked the outfielder's second consecutive two-hit performance and first RBI this month. He's also hit safely in three straight contests and is now batting .320 (8-for-25) in June.

    • Beginning rehab assignment
      Ferrer (shoulder) has been sent to the Nationals' Florida Complex League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

      Advice: Ferrer has been out all season with a strain of the teres major muscle in his right shoulder but has finally been cleared for game action. The lefty's rehab assignment should be fairly lengthy given how much time he's missed, and he's not a given to be added to the major-league roster once his time on the IL is over.

    • Makes season debut
      Soto served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Pirates.

      Advice: Soto made his first appearance for the Reds since being recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. With Noelvi Marte (suspension) expected to be reinstated Thursday, Soto could return to Louisville. Rotowire.com Today, 6:15 am
