  • Sitting out Wednesday
    Murphy (elbow) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

    Advice: Murphy departed Tuesday's 8-3 win after being struck on the right elbow by a pitch. X-rays came back negative, and Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the swelling on the elbow has mostly subsided. Murphy could be ready to go as soon as Thursday, but Travis d'Arnaud will fill in at catcher for Atlanta on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:41 am
     
  • X-rays negative
    Initial X-rays on Murphy's right elbow came back negative after he was hit by a pitch during Tuesday's win over the Red Sox, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Murphy's elbow swelled up significantly immediately following the HBP, though he appears to have escaped the incident without suffering any structural damage. The catcher also said after Tuesday's game that he is confident he'll be able to avoid the injured list and get back to playing within a few days. Travis d'Arnaud would start behind the plate for any games that Murphy may have to miss. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:18 pm
     
  • X-rays come back negative on Sean Murphy’s elbow
    Sean Murphy is day-to-day with a right elbow contusion.

    Advice: The positive news here is that X-rays came back negative after Murphy was hit by a pitch on the right elbow during the ninth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Red Sox, which led to his removal from the contest. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to wind up missing too much time, if any. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:58 pm
     
  • Rutschman doubles, drives in two vs. Jays
    Adley Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Rutschman drove in the Orioles’ first run of the night in the third inning on an RBI single to plate Colton Cowser and later doubled to drive in Gunnar Henderson in the fifth inning. Rutschman continues to hit at a high rate and now has an eight-game hit streak that includes seven RBI over that span. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:56 pm
     
  • Exits after HBP
    Murphy was removed from Tuesday's game against the Red Sox after getting hit in the elbow by a pitch, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Murphy took a 92-mph fastball off the inner part of his right elbow, which had already exhibited significant swelling by the time he reached first base. Atlanta will take him into the clubhouse for a closer look and should have more information on his status in the near future, but it's possible the 29-year-old backstop sits out until the swelling goes down.

  • Sean Murphy leaves game following hit by pitch
    Sean Murphy left Tuesday’s game against the Red Sox after being hit by a pitch.

    Advice: Murphy appeared to get hit in the elbow area by a ninth-inning offering from Red Sox reliever Chase Anderson and was immediately lifted for a pinch runner. There should be an update on his status shortly after this one goes final at Fenway Park. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:29 pm
     
  • Absent from Tuesday's lineup
    Raleigh is not in the Mariners' lineup Tuesday versus the Athletics.

    Advice: Raleigh had a three-game hit streak but will begin Tuesday's matchup from the bench. In his place, Mitch Garver starts behind the plate and Mitch Haniger is the DH. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:40 pm
     
  • Sitting against RHP
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City.

    Advice: For the first time since May 19, Naylor won't be part of Cleveland's lineup against a right-handed pitcher Tuesday, marking the catcher's fourth absence in the last five games. With David Fry swinging one of the best bats in baseball and Naylor batting .164 in May , Naylor could bleed more playing time if he doesn't turn it around at the plate.

  • Jettisoned from 40-man roster
    The Pirates designated Koch for assignment Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Koch served as the Pirates' backup catcher for a few days but is being removed from both their 26-man and 40-man rosters as Henry Davis returns. He'll likely clear waivers and remain in the organization. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:49 am
