  • Takes seat Wednesday
    Meyers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Francisco, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Meyers started in both of the first two games of the series, going 2-for-8 with five strikeouts. He'll begin the series finale on the bench, giving way to Mauricio Dubon in center field. Rotowire.com Today, 10:22 am
     
  • Gaining traction in lineup
    Chourio will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Chourio will stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, with three of his starts coming against right-handed pitching during that stretch. The rookie went 4-for-13 with a home run, a double and two walks over his previous four starts, and his recent surge at the plate could be enough for him to unseat the lefty-hitting Jake Bauers as a regular in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. Bauers is in the lineup Wednesday against Toronto righty Chris Bassitt, but he was on the bench for two of the Brewers' previous three matchups with right-handers. Rotowire.com Today, 9:16 am

  • Placed on IL with hamstring strain
    The Nationals placed Gallo on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Gallo exited Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Tigers due to the injury. The Nationals haven't revealed the grade of Gallo's hamstring strain, but the injury is clearly significant enough that he won't be available for at least the next 10 days. Trey Lipscomb was called up from Triple-A Rochester to replace Gallo on the 26-man active roster and will be an option at first base along with Joey Meneses. Rotowire.com Today, 8:56 am

  • Goes deep in blowout win
    Heyward went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 15-2 win over the Rangers. He also reached via a hit by pitch.

    Advice: Heyward capped off a four-homer sixth inning by the Dodgers with a two-run blast off Grant Anderson. It was his third homer of the year and his second game with multiple RBI. The 34-year-old remains in a platoon against right-handed pitching, and is now slashing .234/.315/.469 with eight extra-base hits, eight RBI, 12 runs and a 6:11 BB:K in 73 plate appearances.

  • On bench Wednesday
    Kiermaier (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Kiermaier exited Tuesday's 3-0 win with a bruised right knee, and the Blue Jays and Brewers are concluding their series with a day game after a night game, so the veteran outfielder's absence doesn't come as a major surprise. With the benefit of a team off day Thursday, Kiermaier could be cleared to play in this weekend's series versus the Guardians, though he may be viewed as more of a part-time player these days while he's hitting just .200 with a career-worst .565 OPS on the season.

  • Hitting well
    Dubon went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two runs scored Tuesday against the Giants.

    Advice: Dubon has started four straight games in left field and has started six of the team's last seven games in the absence of Kyle Tucker (leg). Dubon has hit well in that span, going 7-for-21 with one RBI and four runs scored with only a 9.1-percent strikeout rate. He'll likely return to a utility role once Tucker is activated, but he has the chance to produce in the short term. Rotowire.com Today, 7:49 am

  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    The Rangers outrighted Hill to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

    Advice: While no longer on the Rangers' 40-man roster, Hill will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The outfielder went 2-for-9 at the plate during his brief stint in the big leagues earlier this season. Rotowire.com Today, 6:14 am
     
  • Goes deep Tuesday
    Wisely went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Wisely evened the game up with a solo blast off Ronel Blanco in the third inning, though that wound up being the only run the Giants scored on the night. He's now tallied an RBI in back-to-back games, and it was his second homer since his callup May 11. The 25-year-old has given the Giants steady production at the plate against right-handed pitching, slashing .304/.322/.446 with four extra-base hits, nine RBI, seven runs and a 2:12 BB:K in 59 plate appearances.

  • Just misses cycle in win
    Grichuk went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Grichuk, who also doubled and tripled, nearly hit for the cycle. He's opened the month of June with a bang, going 9-for-17 with four extra-base hits, four RBI and five runs scored. He will remain a lineup fixture against left-handers, off whom he's hitting .313/.368/.463. Rotowire.com Today, 3:20 am
