  • 56-48-6 3rd Place
    • Dispatched to Nashville
      The Brewers optioned Dunn to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

      Advice: Playing time has been hard to come across recently for Dunn, and the emergence of Joey Ortiz hasn't helped. The 26-year-old Dunn has slashed .221/.282/.316 through 104 plate appearances in the big leagues this year and will now head back to the minors to get back on track. Tyler Black was recalled from Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

    • Recalled to Milwaukee
      The Brewers recalled Black from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

      Advice: Black played in seven games for the Brewers earlier in the season but was sent back to Nashville on May 8 after going just 5-for-22 (.227) at the plate. Since returning to Triple-A, the 23-year-old infielder has slashed .255/.354/.473 with five homers, 23 RBI and eight stolen bases. He doesn't have a clear path to playing time with Rhys Hoskins and Joey Ortiz comfortably locked into everyday roles at first and third base, respectively, but Black may be used occasionally against right-handers to give one of the usual starters a day off. Oliver Dunn was optioned to Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

    • Moving back to bench Wednesday
      Goodman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Goodman started each of the last four games -- two at designated hitter, two at catcher -- and went 6-for-17 with three home runs and one double, but he hasn't quite seized hold of an everyday role just yet. Jacob Stallings remains the Rockies' No. 1 catcher while Elias Diaz (calf) is on the shelf, and Charlie Blackmon and Elehuris Montero are also expected to factor into the mix at DH until Kris Bryant (oblique) returns from the injured list. Goodman may need to turn in a few more quality performances at the plate in his subsequent starts before the Rockies make him a fixture in the lineup. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

    • Shifts to 60-day IL
      The Yankees transferred Rizzo (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

      Advice: The veteran first baseman is expected to be sidelined eight weeks after he landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured right forearm, so the move to the 60-day IL doesn't come as a major surprise. Rizzo will be shut down from baseball activities for up to five weeks. Gerrit Cole (elbow) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding transaction and is making his season debut Wednesday against the Orioles. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

    • Heading back to bench
      Mendick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: Mendick started at second base in each of the last three games, but the White Sox faced two lefty starters and a lefty primary pitcher in those contests. He'll head back to the bench Wednesday while the lefty-hitting Nicky Lopez steps back in at the keystone against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago

    • Yankees transfer Anthony Rizzo to 60-day IL
      Yankees transferred 1B Anthony Rizzo to the 60-day injured list.

      Advice: The Yankees needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for the return of Gerrit Cole on Wednesday, and the easiest move was to shift Rizzo to the 60-day IL. The 34-year-old is dealing with a right forearm fracture and is expected to be sidelined for the next two months. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago

    • Aiming for Saturday return
      Arenado (elbow) said after Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins that he expects to return to the lineup Saturday versus the Giants in St. Louis, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Arenado was lifted for a pinch runner in the top of the eighth inning after he took a 94 mile-per-hour sinker to his right elbow in his fourth plate appearance of the afternoon. Before departing, Arenado went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored. Though Arenado has been diagnosed with a bruised right elbow after initial X-rays returned negative, he noted that the pitch hit him in a nerve in the elbow that caused his hand to cramp up. Based on his postgame comments, Arenado already seems to be ruling himself out for Thursday's series opener with the Giants at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Ala., but he's counting on being ready to go coming out of Friday's off day.

    • Sitting second straight
      Toro isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: Although Toro has slashed .309/.338/.456 against left-handed pitchers this season, the Athletics will give Tyler Nevin another start at third base versus southpaw Cole Ragans. Rotowire.com Today, 2:48 pm

    • Taylor Walls (illness) returns to lineup Wednesday
      Taylor Walls (illness) returned to the Rays’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

      Advice: Walls missed each of the team’s last three games while battling an illness, but he’s finally feeling well enough to return to action on Wednesday. The 27-year-old infielder will play shortstop and will bat eighth against Joe Ryan and the Twins on Wednesday evening in Minnesota. Rotoworld Today, 2:25 pm
