  • Scratched from lineup Thursday
    Merrill was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado due to right groin tightness, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Jose Acocar will shift over to center field, Tyler Wade will move to left and Eguy Rosario will enter the lineup at third base. At this point, Merrill should be considered day-to-day, but the Padres could offer more on his outlook following Thursday's contest. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Gets Thursday off
    Outman is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: With the Dodgers and Nationals concluding their series with a day game after a night game and with southpaw MacKenzie Gore on the bump for Washington, Outman is one of three lefty-hitting regulars who will get the afternoon off. Outman will be joined on the bench by Gavin Lux and Max Muncy. Rotowire.com Today, 10:58 am
     
  • Will serve as 27th man
    The Astros will add Cabbage to their roster for their upcoming series against the Rockies in Mexico City, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Astros are permitted to add an additional position player to their roster for their two-game series in Mexico City, so they'll bring up Cabbage to provide additional depth at first base and in the outfield. The 26-year-old has spent all season at Triple-A Sugar Land, where he's slashed .271/.440/.486 with three homers and nine RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 10:58 am

  • Still battling back injury
    Jones (back) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Jones is on the bench for a second straight game while he tends to a stiff back. With Jones out of the lineup along with Charlie Blackmon and Sean Bouchard, the Rockies will have Jake Cave and Hunter Goodman start in the corner outfield spots. Rotowire.com Today, 10:50 am

  • Heads to bench Thursday
    Bouchard is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Bouchard will give way to Hunter Goodman after starting each of the past four games in right field while going 3-for-13 with two doubles, a walk and a stolen base. While Kris Bryant (back) remains on the injured list, Bouchard should still maintain an edge over Goodman and Jake Cave for a regular lineup spot in the corner outfield.

  • Draws second straight start
    Cave will start in left field and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Cave will get a second consecutive start in the corner outfield while Nolan Jones (back) remains sidelined. The 31-year-old went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 loss and is slashing just .217/.269/.348 through 26 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:46 am

  • Resting in day game
    Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: He'll take a seat while the Padres and Rockies wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. With Blackmon on the bench along with Nolan Jones (back), Jake Cave and Hunter Goodman will occupy the corner-outfield spots, and catcher Elias Diaz will get a day off behind the plate and will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter.

  • Back on bench Thursday
    Raley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Raley had started each of the past three games, going 3-for-12 during that stretch to lift his season-long batting average to a porous .186. Though the Mariners have an opening in the outfield with Dominic Canzone (shoulder) on the injured list, Raley may play second fiddle to Jonatan Clase while he continues to languish at the plate.
