  • On bench again Wednesday
    Ramirez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: After serving as the Rays' primary designated hitter for most of the season, Ramirez could be moving into a part-time role. He's on the bench for the third time in five games, and playing time could be even more difficult to come by once Jonathan Aranda (finger) is activated from the 10-day injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend.

  • Out Wednesday with thigh soreness
    Manager Kevin Cash said that Siri is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers due to left thigh soreness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Siri went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored before being ejected from the game in the eighth inning, when he and Brewers reliever Abner Uribe exchange punches in a benches-clearing brawl. Cash noted that Siri's thigh soreness wasn't a result of the fight but rather from being hit by a pitch in the sixth inning, though he was initially able to stay in the game and made one more plate appearance prior to his ejection. With a team off day on tap Thursday, the Rays are seemingly hopeful that Siri will be ready to go for this weekend's series versus the Mets, if he doesn't face a suspension from the league for throwing punches at Uribe.

  • Absent from lineup
    Biggio is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Biggio had started each of the last five contests for the Blue Jays but will begin this one on the bench. Toronto is going with Davis Scheider at second base and Addison Barger in left field. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago

  • Homers again Tuesday
    Soto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Soto cut the Yankees' deficit to 4-2 in the sixth inning with a 447-foot blast of Dean Kremer, his eighth homer of the year. Soto extended his hitting streak to eight games -- he's gone 10-for-30 with three homers and a 1.099 OPS in that span. The 25-year-old outfielder has gotten off to a stellar start in New York, slashing .325/.432/.588 with 24 RBI, 22 runs scored and two steals through his first 31 games.

  • May be pushing for everyday role
    Perez will start in center field and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: After getting on base four times and slugging two home runs between both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader, Perez will pick up a fifth consecutive start in the outfield Wednesday. With Austin Meadows on the bench for the second time in five games while he's hitting just .100 on the season, Perez could soon move into a full-time role at Meadows' expense. Since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on April 8, Perez has produced a 1.003 OPS over 48 plate appearances with Detroit. Rotowire.com Today, 7:19 am

  • Sits against right-hander again
    Meadows is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Meadows finds himself on the bench against a right-handed pitcher for the second time in five games and could soon find himself back with Triple-A Toledo, given his rough start to the season. Even after reaching base three times in the Tigers' 11-6 win in the second game of a doubleheader Tuesday, Meadows is slashing a deplorable .100/.222/.229 through 81 plate appearances on the season. Wenceel Perez will draw the start in center field Wednesday and could end up unseating Meadows for an everyday spot in the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 7:08 am
     
  • Remains in organization
    Remillard cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Advice: He will hang around in the organization, giving the White Sox utility depth at Charlotte. Remillard has gone 1-for-5 during his brief time in the majors this season. Rotowire.com Today, 6:33 am

  • Bops first homer
    Taveras went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Taveras bopped his first home run of the season, a two-run shot as part of the Rangers' three-run eighth inning that put the game out of reach. He's been a streaky hitter since emerging as the everyday center fielder, but Taveras hasn't done much streaking yet in 2024. He's batting .226 with a .613 OPS, and Tuesday's RBI were his first in 10 games and just his third and fourth of the season. Rotowire.com Today, 4:55 am
     
  • Swipes bag in Tuesday's win
    Tatis went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a steal, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Reds.

    Advice: Tatis also reached base once more via a hit by pitch and stole his first bag since April 16. Coming into Tuesday, his numbers at the dish have been misleading. He was just 5-for-40 over his last 10 games but posted a 72.4 percent hard hit rate and averaged an exit velocity of 96.9 miles per hour. He's experiencing some bad luck at the moment, which should turn around sooner than later. For the season, Tatis is slashing .238/.326/.437 with six homers, 17 RBI, 22 runs, four steals and a 15:27 BB:K in 144 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 4:44 am
