  • Thairo Estrada leaves game with hamstring injury
    Thairo Estrada was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Mets due to tightness in his left hamstring.

    Advice: The 28-year-old infielder tried to talk his way into staying in the game, so hopefully the injury isn’t that serious. The Giants should provide an update on his status after the game, but it sounds like Estrada should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 4:05 pm

  • Struggles with abdominal soreness
    Gelof was scratched from Oakland's lineup ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Yankees due to left abdominal soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The severity of the 24-year-old infielder's injury is still unknown, but the team could provide more information after the contest. Gelof had not missed a game with 24 straight starts at second base to begin the season, but that starting streak will end Wednesday. Third baseman Abraham Toro will take the field at the keystone in place of Gelof. Rotowire.com Today, 4:03 pm
     
  • Battling hamstring tightness
    Estrada was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets due to left hamstring tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Estrada reportedly wanted to play through his injury, suggesting that his removal was more of a precautionary decision. The Giants don't play Thursday, so the 28-year-old will get an extra day to recover and may be able to return Friday without missing any time. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm

  • Added to lineup Wednesday
    Toro is starting at second base and batting sixth for Wednesday's outing against the Yankees.

    Advice: The switch-hitting infielder was originally left out of the starting nine for Wednesday's matchup, but he will take the field and make his first start at second base after Zack Gelof (abdomen) was scratched. Toro currently has a .232/.293/.377 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI and eight runs through 21 games. Rotowire.com Today, 3:49 pm
     
  • Late scratch Wednesday
    Gelof was scratched from Oakland's lineup ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Yankees, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's unclear why the A's took Gelof out of their lineup, but the team should offer some clarity soon. Abraham Toro will replace him at the keystone while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:24 pm
     
  • Sits Wednesday
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Lopez will get a breather after starting each of the last nine games, with the last four coming as the White Sox's leadoff hitter. Danny Mendick will replace Lopez at the keystone and set the table for Chicago on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:10 pm

  • Gets maintenance day
    Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Turner's absence from the lineup looks to be nothing more than a routine maintenance day after the 39-year-old had started in each of the Blue Jays' last nine games. Daniel Vogelbach will fill in for Turner as Toronto's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 2:57 pm
     
  • Gets Wednesday off
    Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa will head to the bench Wednesday after reaching base four times while making a pair of starts at third base in the first two games of the series. Ernie Clement will spell Kiner-Falefa at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 2:55 pm
     
  • Retreats to bench
    Schneider is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Though he'll hit the bench after drawing starts in the past three games, Schneider's playing time should trend up after Kevin Kiermaier (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Triple-A Buffalo call-up Addison Barger will end up replacing Kiermaier in the outfield Wednesday, but expect him to fill more of a utility role while he's up with Toronto, which would enable Schneider to get regular reps in left field. Schneider is batting just .216 through 51 at-bats this season, but he's made his 11 hits count with three home runs and two doubles. Rotowire.com Today, 2:54 pm
