  • Nearing rehab assignment
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Berti (groin) could begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Berti is nearly two weeks removed from suffering a left groin strain and is almost ready to test things out in game action. The utility player shouldn't need too many rehab games before rejoining the Yanks. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Activated and optioned
    The Nationals activated Garrett (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Garrett had just had his rehab assignment moved from Double-A Harrisburg to Rochester and the Nats have elected to keep him there for a while longer. Coming back from reconstructive surgery on his left ankle, Garrett has gone 7-for-31 with a 9:7 K:BB over 40 plate appearances so far on his rehab assignment. The 28-year-old should be back with the Nationals soon enough, particularly with Lane Thomas (knee) not out indefinitely, but the club wants Garrett to sharpen things up a bit more first.

  • Sits down versus lefty
    Butler isn't in Oakland's lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: The left-handed bat of Butler will step out of the lineup with southpaw Nestor Cortes on the mound for the Yankees. Tyler Nevin will take over in right field, allowing Darell Hernaiz to start at third base and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Day off versus southpaw
    Brown isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: With lefty Nestor Cortes set to start for New York, Brown will retreat to the dugout to begin Thursday's contest. Esteury Ruiz will cover left field instead and bat in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago

  • 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 51 minutes ago

  • Jackson Merrill scratched from Thursday’s lineup
    Jackson Merrill was scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s game with right groin tightness.

    Advice: The team is keeping Merrill out of the lineup as a precautionary measure. Eguy Rosario will start for the Padres on play third base, while Tyler Wade moves to left field and José Azocar goes to center field. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched from lineup Thursday
    Merrill was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado due to right groin tightness, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Padres manager Mike Shildt said the move was precautionary and Merrill could have played, so it sounds safe to call the rookie outfielder day-to-day. Jose Azocar will shift over to center field, Tyler Wade will move to left and Eguy Rosario will enter the lineup at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:02 pm
     
  • 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
