  • Heading to minors
    The Brewers optioned Dunn to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

    Advice: Though he served as Milwaukee's designated hitter in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates, Dunn's playing time had been relatively sparse since mid-April with Joey Ortiz overtaking him as the preferred option at third base. As a left-handed hitter, Dunn wasn't a fit for the Brewers as a short-side platoon player, either, so he'll head to Nashville to get some everyday playing time. Outfielder Chris Roller was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Summoned from Triple-A
    The Mets recalled Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

    Advice: He'll assume the 26-man active roster spot of infielder Joey Wendle, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Vientos will likely be limited to a short-side platoon role at third base behind the lefty-hitting Brett Baty while he's up with the big club. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Cast off 40-man roster
    The Mets designated Wendle for assignment Wednesday.

    Advice: Unless another team opts to put in a waiver claim for Wendle, the Mets will owe him the money remaining on his one-year, $2 million deal. Signed in November to provide depth in the infield, Wendle rarely saw action for the Mets and struggled to produce in his limited opportunities, slashing .222/.243/.250 across 37 plate appearances.

  • Expected to be optioned
    Dunn appears set to be optioned to Triple-A Nashville prior to Wednesday's game versus the Pirates, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: The Brewers haven't announced any transactions as Wednesday's 1:10 p.m. ET opening pitch approaches, but Dunn no longer had a locker in the clubhouse. Dunn has slashed just .192/.240/.255 since April 16 and has seen his playing time slip, so his expected demotion doesn't come as a surprise. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
     
  • 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.

  • Idle against lefty
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: With the White Sox playing a day game following Tuesday's doubleheader and with a lefty (Patrick Corbin) on the hill for Washington, the lefty-hitting Lopez will get the afternoon off. Zach Remillard checks in for Lopez at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 am

  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Ramos (quadricep) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Ramos exited the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with a left quad injury and didn't play in the White Sox's 4-0 win in the nightcap, so his absence for Wednesday's day game isn't especially surprising. The White Sox seem to be viewing Ramos as day-to-day, but Braden Shewmake will fill in for him at third base Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:08 am

  • Resting against lefty
    O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will take a seat for the series finale while southpaw Yusei Kikuchi takes the hill for Toronto. Adley Rutschman will get a day off behind the plate and will replace O'Hearn as Baltimore's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 8:07 am

  • Not starting Wednesday
    Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa had started each of the Blue Jays' last seven games, and even after Tuesday's contest was postponed, manager John Schneider will give the infielder some additional rest before Toronto returns to action Friday versus the Rays. Ernie Clement will serve as Toronto's starting third baseman in Kiner-Falefa's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 7:37 am
