  • Getting breather Wednesday
    Rojas isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rojas will take a seat Wednesday after going 4-for-9 with an RBI and three runs scored through the first two games of the series. He will be replaced at shortstop by Enrique Hernandez, who will bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:09 pm
     
  • Belts eighth homer
    Merrill went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.

    Advice: The rookie center fielder accounted for the Padres' only run off Ranger Suarez, driving a two-seam fastball from the southpaw over the right-field wall in the second inning. Merrill has eight homers on the year, but five of them have come in the last seven games, boosting his slash line on the season to .279/.317/.417 with nine steals, 30 RBI and 32 runs in 74 contests.

  • Back on bench
    Caballero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Taylor Walls (illness) will return to the lineup at shortstop after missing the Rays' previous three games, leaving no room in the infield for Caballero. Though he's been an everyday player for most of the season and has racked up 22 stolen bases, Caballero looks like he could be limited to a part-time role now that Tampa Bay is back to full strength in the infield.

  • Sent down to minors
    The Rockies optioned Jones to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

    Advice: Jones didn't play much during his nearly two-week stint in the majors, receiving just one start and six plate appearances. He's replaced on the roster by Sean Bouchard (ankle), who was reinstated from the injured list. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:49 pm

  • Rockies option INF/OF Greg Jones back to Triple-A
    Rockies optioned INF/OF Greg Jones to Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Advice: Just one day after hitting his first major league home run against the Dodgers, Jones is shipped back to Albuquerque as Sean Bouchard (ankle) returns from the injured list. The versatile 26-year-old went 1-for-5 (.200) with a solo homer and four strikeouts in six plate appearances during his short stay with the Rockies. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:42 pm

  • Returns to lineup
    Walls (illness) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

    Advice: Walls was unavailable for a few days due to an illness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday. He's started at shortstop in six of 11 games since returning from the injured list June 7. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:39 pm
     
  • Taking seat Wednesday
    Rafaela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Rafaela will get his first day off since May 30, clearing the way for Romy Gonzalez to pick up a start in center field. Though he's cobbled together a modest .687 OPS for the season, Rafaela has been running hot of late at the dish, slashing .468/.490/.596 with four extra-base hits and two stolen bases over his last 12 games.

  • Checking back into starting nine
    Hamilton (side) will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Hamilton is back in the lineup after he was withheld from the starting nine Tuesday due to the left side injury he suffered in Monday's 7-3 win in the series opener. Despite opening Tuesday's 4-3 victory on the bench, Hamilton still made an impact with his legs, entering the game as a pinch runner in the eighth inning and contributing a stolen base and a run. With Hamilton checking out fine following his brief cameo Wednesday, he'll get the green light to start the series finale and will occupy a prominent spot in the batting order.

  • David Hamilton (side) returns to lineup Wednesday
    David Hamilton (side) returned to the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s matchup against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Hamilton left Monday’s game with discomfort in his left side, but he was able to appear as a pinch-runner in Tuesday’s game — swiping a pair of bases and scoring a run late in the game. He’s starting at shortstop and batting second against Kevin Gausman and the Jays on Wednesday evening in Toronto. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:22 pm
