  • Sitting again Thursday
    India (migraine) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Thurdsay's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: A migraine caused India to be a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup, and it appears to be bothering him enough to hold him out again Thursday. Santiago Espinal will get the nod at second base instead and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:35 pm
     
  • Out of lineup Thursday
    Triolo isn't in the Pirates' lineup Thursday versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Triolo will begin the day on the bench amidst his recent struggles. After going 0-for-3 Wednesday, he has just two hits in his last 39 plate appearances. The third baseman has been starting in the absence of Ke'Bryan Hayes, but Nick Gonzales will slide over from second to third Thursday. Alika Williams joins the lineup at second and will bat ninth.

  • Takes seat Thursday
    McCutchen isn't in the Pirates' lineup Thursday versus the Cubs.

  • Beginning rehab assignment
    Burke (hand) will begin a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Thursday.

    Advice: Burke landed on the injured list April 13 after breaking his right (non-throwing) hand, and he'll now begin working his way back in rookie ball. The 27-year-old southpaw isn't eligible to return from the IL until June 12, so he will have plenty of time to ease his way back before rejoining the Rangers' bullpen.

  • Brock Burke starts rehab assignment Thursday
    Brock Burke (hand) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with the Rangers’ Arizona Complex League.

    Advice: Burke is going to be require several weeks of rehab appearances as he works his way back after fracturing his non-throwing hand last month. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm
     
  • Set for live BP on Friday
    Wicks (forearm) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Advice: Wicks has been on the shelf since late April with a left forearm strain but could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment if things go well Friday. Because he hasn't missed that much time, he probably won't need more than one or two rehab starts. However, given his 4.70 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB across 23 innings before going on the IL, he wouldn't seem to be a given to be re-inserted into the Cubs' rotation once he's ready.

  • Out of lineup again Thursday
    DeLuca is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Boston.

    Advice: It marks the third time in four games that DeLuca will be on the bench. This is after he had started the previous nine contests in a row. The recent returns of Josh Lowe and Jonathan Aranda have impacted DeLuca's playing time, and the Rays also could be re-committing to Jose Siri in handing him five starts across the last six tilts.
