    • Back in lineup
      Garver (back) is batting third and is the designated hitter for Friday's game against Baltimore.

      Advice: Garver was scratched Tuesday with back spasms and was forced to miss Wednesday's contest due to the issue. However, he'll be back in action for Friday's series opener against the Orioles. In May, Garver is batting .243 with two homers across 45 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
       
    • Closing in on rehab stint
      Murphy (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment next week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The catcher has been out since Opening Day after suffering an oblique strain, and Atlanta has taken things slowly with him so far. Murphy now appears to be in the final stages of his recovery, but given the amount of time he's missed, his rehab assignment could last more than just a few days. Travis d'Arnaud will continue handling catching duties until Murphy returns, backed up by Chadwick Tromp. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:34 am

    • Sean Murphy (oblique) nearing rehab assignment
      Sean Murphy (oblique) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week.

      Advice: It’s been a very slow and methodical progression for Murphy, who was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain at the end of March. He should only need a couple of games in the minor leagues before he’s ready to return to the Braves’ lineup. If all goes well, it’s possible that he could be ready to return next weekend.

    • Mitch Garver (back) likely available off bench
      Mitch Garver could be available off the bench Wednesday after missing Tuesday’s game with back spasms.

      Advice: Nice to see that Garver is apparently feeling better. Mitch Haniger is starting at DH today. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:29 am
       
    • Out Wednesday with back spasms
      Garver (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: He'll remain on the bench for the second day in a row while he manages upper-back spasms. Mitch Haniger will get a day out of the outfield and serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Garver rests up. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:05 am
       
    • Mitch Garver day-to-day with back spasms
      Mitch Garver is day-to-day with upper back spasms.

      Advice: Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters late Tuesday that Garver was scratched shortly before first pitch out of an abundance of caution since they were already shorthanded with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the bench. It doesn’t sound like a major concern moving forward, but given Garver’s struggles, it wouldn’t be a total shock to see him head to the injured list for a bit of an extended mental reset.

    • Battling back spasms
      Garver was scratched from Seattle's lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against Kansas City due to upper-back spasms, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The 33-year-old backstop missed a few games in March due to back spasms, though manager Scott Servais said Garver's current injury is unrelated to his previous issue. No timeline was given for his return, but it's possible the M's hold him out for a game or two in order to allow him to properly recover. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:35 pm
       
    • Late scratch Tuesday
      Garver (undisclosed) was scratched from the Mariners' lineup Tuesday versus the Royals.

      Advice: Garver was originally set to operate as the team's designated hitter and bat third Tuesday, but he'll now take a seat. It's unclear what caused the 33-year-old to be scratched, and more information will likely be provided following the contest. In the meantime, Mitch Haniger will slot in at designated hitter while Sam Haggerty will enter the lineup in left field and bat ninth against Kansas City. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 5:58 pm
       
    • Mitch Garver scratched from Tuesday’s lineup
      Mitch Garver has been scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Royals.

      Advice: No word yet on the reason for the change. The 33-year-old veteran slugger has been ice-cold this season in his Seattle debut, batting just .174 (21-for-121) with five homers and 13 RBI in 143 plate appearances over 36 contests. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:55 pm
