  • Sent down to minors
    The Guardians optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

    Advice: Rodriguez started just three of 10 games during his most recent stint in the big leagues and none of them were consecutive. The 24-year-old will return to Columbus, where he will receive regular reps again. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Eddie Rosario on bench against right-hander
    Even though the Nationals are facing a righty, Eddie Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Padres.

    Advice: It’s just the third time this year that he hasn’t started against a righty. After a fine May, Rosario has slumped again of late, going 7-for-45 with no homers or walks in his last 13 games. Because of a brutal April, he’s at just .181/.226/.330 overall. Harold Ramírez is starting in his place today. Rotoworld Today, 11:34 am
     
  • Getting fifth straight start
    Loperfido will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Loperfido will stick in the starting nine for a fifth straight game after going 4-for-13 with two doubles, one walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run through his first four games since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Sugar Land. Houston has room in its everyday outfield for both Loperfido and Chas McCormick for the moment, but one of the two will likely lose out on playing time once Kyle Tucker (shin) makes his return from the 10-day injured list, perhaps as soon as next week.

  • Not in starting nine
    Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Athletics.

    Advice: Adell looks to be getting some routine maintenance after starting in each the last four games and 12 of the previous 13 contests. Kevin Pillar will patrol right field for the Angels on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:49 am

  • Idle Wednesday
    McCormick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: After starting each of the last three games, McCormick will be the odd man out of the Astros outfield on Wednesday with Houston clearing a spot in left field for Yordan Alvarez, who typically serves as the team's designated hitter. McCormick could be forced to the bench on a more frequent basis once Kyle Tucker (shin) returns from the injured list, though it's not yet clear when Tucker might rejoin the big club while he rehab program has proceeded more slowly than anticipated.

  • Losing out on playing time
    Cabbage is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Cabbage and Chas McCormick had been sharing time in right field as of last week while Kyle Tucker (shin) remains on the injured list, but Cabbage seems to have fallen out of favor in the wake of Joey Loperfido's promotion from Triple-A Sugar Landon Friday. With Loperfido presenting Houston with another lefty-hitting option in the outfield, Cabbage now finds himself on the bench for a fourth straight game. Rotowire.com Today, 10:47 am

  • Getting day off
    Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Dubon will get the afternoon off after he had started in each of Houston's last 15 games. Though he's served mostly as a utility player during that stretch, Dubon appears to have found a home of late at first base, where he made each of his last three starts. Jon Singleton will step in for Dubon on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:44 am

  • Regaining playing time
    Bauers will start at first base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Bauers will be included in the lineup for the second game in a row and for the third time in four games after producing three hits over his prior two starts. The 29-year-old is still getting on base at a lowly .279 clip for the season, so despite seeing his playing time trend upward of late, he's hardly locked into an everyday role for Milwaukee.

  • Back on bench after three starts
    Perkins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Perkins had started in center field in each of the last three games, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday and still looks to be viewed as the team's fourth outfielder. Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio will form the Milwaukee outfield from left to right Wednesday and look to be manager Pat Murphy's preferred trio against right-handed pitching.
