• Sitting in second straight
    Arias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Arias made six consecutive starts from April 13 through 18, but he's now been back on the bench three times in the Guardians' ensuing five games. Though Arias is maintaining a respectable .781 OPS over 48 plate appearances on the season, he looks like he'll have to settle for a part-time role for now while Cleveland continues to stick with Brayan Rocchio as its primary shortstop.

  • Riding pine Wednesday
    Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Kirilloff will get his first day off since April 15 while the White Sox bring a southpaw (Garrett Crochet) to the hill Wednesday. With Kirilloff on the bench, Ryan Jeffers will get a day off behind the plate and will serve as Minnesota's DH. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

  • Hamstring injury lingering
    Angels manager Ron Washington said Wednesday that Drury is still feeling soreness from last week's left hamstring injury, Anthony Bautista of The Sporting Tribune reports.

    Advice: Drury is out of the lineup Wednesday for a third straight game, although Washington said the 31-year-old is available to pinch hit. The Angels are idle Thursday, so Drury could be ready to return to the lineup Friday versus the Twins. Luis Rengifo is at second base Wednesday. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago

  • Ramps up activity Tuesday
    Davis (thigh/groin) resumed running Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

    Advice: Davis began walking on a treadmill Friday, just five days after suffering his groin strain against the Nationals. With Tuesday's ramp-up in activity, Davis is another step closer to a return, but he doesn't figure to be deemed ready for activation when first eligible Thursday. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago

  • Draws another start at third base
    Sano will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Sano will make his seventh straight start Wednesday, including his fourth in a row at the hot corner. With Anthony Rendon () on the injured list, Sano looks as though he'll handle an everyday role at third base, at least while he continues to hold his own at the plate. Though Sano hasn't provided much in the way of counting stats through his first 19 games of the season (one home run, eight runs and five RBI), he's hitting .281 and getting on base at a .373 clip.

  • Absent from lineup again
    Drury is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Drury missed three games last week with a hamstring injury before returning to play three straight contests over the weekend. However, he's now been absent from the lineup for all three games of the series against Baltimore, so it's fair to wonder whether the hamstring injury could be lingering or if he's simply being phased out amid his slow start to the season. Drury has struggled to a .547 OPS over 73 plate appearances thus far. Rotowire.com Today, 10:26 am

  • Takes seat versus lefty
    O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will retreat to the bench while southpaw Tyler Anderson toes the rubber for the Angels. O'Hearn's absence clears up the designated-hitter spot for Adley Rutschman, allowing Rutschman to get a day out of the field while James McCann handles catching duties for Baltimore.

  • Returns to lineup Wednesday
    Mountcastle (knee) will start at first base and bat third in Wednesday's game versus the Angels.

    Advice: Mountcastle missed two games with some knee soreness but is feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday against left-hander Tyler Anderson. The 27-year-old is sporting a .333/.395/.507 batting line with two home runs over 20 contests this season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:06 am
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: As per usual, the lefty-hitting Wade finds himself on the bench while the Giants face off against a left-handed starting pitcher (Sean Manaea) in the series finale. Wilmer Flores will replace Wade at first base and as the Giants' No. 2 batter. Rotowire.com Today, 9:59 am
