  • Nick Senzel (illness) scratched from Thurs. lineup
    Nick Senzel (illness) was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Ildemaro Vargas will replace Senzel in the series finale. Hopefully the 28-year-old isn’t out for much longer than a game or two but the team is calling it a stomach illness. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago

  • Scratched Thursday
    Senzel was scratched from Washington's lineup ahead of Thursday's game versus the Dodgers due to a stomach illness.

    Advice: Ildemaro Vargas will cover third base instead and bat eighth while Senzel is under the weather. The 28-year-old has hit safely in three of his last four games, homering twice. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

  • Athletics recall Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A
    Athletics recalled SS Darell Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas

    Advice: The A’s will bring up the 22-year-old infielder who is filling the roster spot for Zack Gelof. Herniaz has struggled at the major league level where he’s slashed .103/.156/.103 in his 17 games this season. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Back in big leagues
    The Athletics recalled Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: He's taking the roster spot vacated by Zack Gelof (oblique). Hernaiz will be a candidate for reps at second base in Gelof's absence and he can handle shortstop and third base, as well. It's unclear how high he'll be in the pecking order, however, after he managed just a .103/.156/.103 batting line before being sent down. Rotowire.com Today, 11:07 am
     
  • Takes seat against southpaw
    Muncy 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, Muncy is one of three lefty-hitting regulars who will get the afternoon off. Muncy will be joined on the bench by Gavin Lux and James Outman. Rotowire.com Today, 10:57 am

  • Not starting Thursday
    Machado (personal) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Since Machado has already spent the maximum three days on the paternity list, he needs to be activated Thursday, but the Padres have yet to officially announce the move. Even if the Padres add Machado back to the 26-man roster Thursday, he'll still be available only as a bench player before likely making his return to the lineup against the Phillies this weekend, when the team returns to San Diego. Jurickson Profar will serve as the Friars' designated hitter Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:42 am
     
  • Sitting Thursday
    Lipscomb isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Lipscomb will take a seat after going 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored during Wednesday's 11-2 loss. Joey Meneses will start at first base in his absence, while Jesse Winker serves as Washington's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 10:10 am
     
  • Gets first off day of season
    Morel is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: The Cubs will hand Morel his first day off of the season while he's fallen into a slump at the dish of late; he's gone 4-for-45 (.089 average) and is getting on base at a .222 clip over his last 13 games. Morel still looks to be entrenched in an everyday role at third base, but Nick Madrigal will occupy the hot corner Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:02 am

  • Returns to lineup
    Urias (wrist) will start at third base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Urias will make his first start since he exited the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Rockies when he was hit by a pitch on the right wrist. The Mariners faced right-handed starting pitchers in both of the ensuing two games, so Urias' absence from the lineup for those contests might have had more to do with his status as a short-side platoon player than because of the injury. Urias will face off against Rangers southpaw Andrew Heaney on Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 9:37 am
