  • Scratched with leg contusion
    The Reds scratched Fraley from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates due to a right lower leg contusion.

    Advice: Per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer, the injury likely stems from Fraley following a ball off the leg a few days ago. Levi Jordan was a late addition to the Cincinnati lineup and will start in left field while Fraley gets at least one day off to recover from the injury. Rotowire.com Today, 9:15 am

  • Heading to Triple-A
    The Rangers optioned Duran to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

    Advice: Duran had a nice first full season with the Rangers in 2023, slashing .276/.324/.443 with 14 home runs and eight stolen bases. His follow-up in 2024 hasn't been as successful, as he sports just a .256/.294/.324 line with two home runs and one steal over 58 contests. Duran could still play a prominent role with the Rangers later this season, but for now he'll try to get back on track in a less-pressurized environment. Rotowire.com Today, 9:12 am

  • Luke Raley scratched from Mariners lineup

  • Mauricio Dubón sits after 15 straight starts
    Mauricio Dubón is absent from the Astros lineup Wednesday for the first time since June 7.

    Advice: Dubón is a fantastic utilityman, but an everyday first baseman or left fielder he’s not and that’s rather how the Astros have been treating him lately. He’s hit .250/.276/.361 in 77 plate appearances this month, and it’d be for the best if he plays less once Kyle Tucker rejoins the Houston outfield. With Dubón sitting, Jon Singleton is making his first start since Friday. Rotoworld Today, 8:29 am

  • Scratched for series finale
    The Mariners scratched Raley from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays for an unspecified reason, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The team will likely provide an explanation for Raley's late scratch later Wednesday. Ryan Bliss will enter the lineup as a replacement for Raley, covering second base while Dylan Moore covers Raley's spot in left field. Rotowire.com Today, 8:28 am

  • Nabs fourth steal
    McNeil went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

    Advice: It's the 32-year-old's first multi-hit performance since June 9, with McNeil batting a brutal .088 (3-for-34) in between. The career .291 hitter is slashing just .216/.281/.298 on the season, and his lengthy slump -- as well as a hot start to Jose Iglesias' Mets tenure -- has put McNeil's playing time in a bit of jeopardy. He may need to string together a few more solid efforts to avoid losing his hold on even a strong-side platoon role at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 8:22 am

  • Gets start against righty
    Taylor went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

    Advice: With Starling Marte (knee) landing on the injured list, Taylor and DJ Stewart are expected to split reps in right field. Instead of using a strict platoon, however, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza elected to deploy the right-handed Taylor against Gerrit Cole on Tuesday, perhaps prioritizing Taylor's superior defense. The 30-year-old is making a case for a bigger role with his bat as well, batting .273 (9-for-33) in June with three doubles, a triple, an RBI and five runs. Rotowire.com Today, 8:18 am
     
  • Sitting after four straight starts
    Olivares is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Olivares will take a seat after he had started each of the Pirates' last four games while going 6-for-15 with a walk, two runs and two RBI. Each of those starts came against right-handed pitching, so for the moment, Olivares appears to have supplanted Connor Joe as the Pirates' preferred option in right field.

  • Exiting lineup Wednesday
    Isbel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins.

    Advice: Isbel missed a couple contests over the weekend with a back issue, but his absence Wednesday looks to be a routine day off after he had started both of the first two games of the series. Garrett Hampson will patrol center field for the Royals. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 am
