  • Lane Thomas runs the bases before game
    Lane Thomas, coming back from a sprained MCL in his left knee, ran the bases at Nationals Park prior to Wednesday’s game.

    Advice: MASN’s Mark Zuckerman said he wasn’t quite running at 100 percent but wasn’t all that far below that. Thomas has also been hitting, and barring a setback, he should return before the end of the month. Rotoworld Today, 9:49 am

  • Taking seat against southpaw
    Rosario is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: With left-hander Garrett Crochet on the hill for Chicago, the lefty-hitting Rosario will hit the bench for the series finale. Rosario picked up starts in the corner outfield in both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader, going a collective 2-for-9 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. Rotowire.com Today, 9:21 am

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

    Advice: Carroll looked like he might be righting the ship earlier this month, but he's since fallen back into a 3-for-28 slump over his last seven contests. Jake McCarthy will patrol center field Wednesday while Carroll regroups. Rotowire.com Today, 8:56 am

  • Gets fourth straight start
    Chourio will start in left field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Chourio was on the bench for a stretch of four straight games from last Wednesday through Saturday, but he's now picked up starts in each of the subsequent four contests. Though he's reached base only twice over his last nine contests and carries a weak .579 OPS for the season into Wednesday's game, Chourio could nonetheless continue to see near-everyday playing time while Jake Bauers sees less time in the corner outfield and fills in at first base for the injured Rhys Hoskins (hamstring). Additionally, the struggling Blake Perkins -- who sat against right-handed starting pitchers both of the previous two days -- seems to have moved into more of a fourth-outfielder role of late.

  • Pops third homer
    Raley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday.

    Advice: Raley continues to profile as one of the inconsistent Mariners' more reliable hitters after a slow start to his team tenure, with Tuesday's homer his second in as many games. Raley's season average and OPS are up to a solid .265 and .729, respectively, and he sports a .357/.419/.714 slash line over the 31 plate appearances encompassing his last nine games.

  • On bench against lefty
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Southpaw Martin Perez is on the bump for Pittsburgh, so the lefty-hitting Bauers will make his way to the bench for the series finale. Owen Miller will fill in at first base, which should be Bauers' primary home for the foreseeable future following Rhys Hoskins' (hamstring) move to the injured list Tuesday.

  • George Springer returns from illness Wednesday
    George Springer is back in right field for Wednesday’s game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Springer wasn’t going to start Tuesday, but that game was rained out. He missed three of the previous four games due to an illness. Rotoworld Today, 8:30 am
     
  • Back with big club
    The White Sox recalled Fletcher from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

    Advice: Fletcher was sent down to the minors late last month after hitting just .203/.277/.271 with a 20:4 K:BB over 66 plate appearances with Chicago. He will get another look with the big club after slashing .238/.319/.405 with one home run in 11 contests with Charlotte. Gavin Sheets has just a .516 OPS in May, so Fletcher could end up emerging as a regular in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 8:21 am
     
  • White Sox bring Dominic Fletcher back to majors
    White Sox recalled OF Dominic Fletcher from Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Fletcher, who opened up as the White Sox’s right fielder, hit .203/.277/.271 in 20 games before being sent down Apr. 26. He wasn’t exactly great at Charlotte, coming in at .238/.319/.405 in 11 games, but the White Sox are ready to give him another look. He’ll probably share time in right with Gavin Sheets.
