  • Corey Seager sits for nightcap on Wednesday
    Corey Seager is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for the nightcap of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Athletics.

    Advice: The 30-year-old superstar shortstop went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout during the first game and is slashing an underwhelming .230/.303/.309 with three homers and 13 RBI on the season. Josh Smith will start in his place at shortstop and bat fifth for the Rangers on Wednesday evening against Osvaldo Bido and the A’s. Rotoworld Today, 3:29 pm

  • Taking seat for nightcap
    Seager is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Athletics.

    Advice: The 30-year-old went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in the Game 1 loss, which ended a modest five-game hit streak. Josh Smith will shift to shortstop and Ezequiel Duran will start at third base while Seager receives some rest in the nightcap. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 pm

  • Getting day off
    Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Castro will get a breather for the first time since April 15, ending a streak of 20 consecutive starts at four different positions (shortstop, third base, left field and center field). Third base and center field will likely be Castro's primary homes for the foreseeable future while Royce Lewis (quadricep) and Byron Buxton (knee) remain on the injured list.

  • Red Sox activate Romy Gonzalez from 10-day IL
    Red Sox activated INF/OF Romy Gonzalez from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The versatile 27-year-old has been shelved since April 11 due to a left wrist sprain. Before he was sidelined, Gonzalez had been just 1-for-4 (.250) with a walk and a strikeout in two games played with the Red Sox. He’ll add depth and versatility to the team’s bench and can safely be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld Today, 3:07 pm
     
  • Marcus Semien stays hot in Rangers’ loss to A’s
    Marcus Semien went 3-for-5 with a solo homer in the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Athletics.

    Advice: Semien went deep for the second consecutive contest against his former team, pulverizing a 412-foot solo shot off Athletics starter JP Sears in the third inning as part of a three-hit performance. Rotoworld Today, 3:05 pm

  • Red Sox designate Zack Short for assignment
    Red Sox designated INF Zack Short for assignment.

    Advice: Short was just acquired from the Mets a week ago for cash considerations, but he’ll be placed on waivers for the third time this year as the Red Sox needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster. Once again, there may be interest around the league in the glove-first infielder. Rotoworld Today, 3:02 pm

  • Luis Arraez scores two runs in win over Cubs
    Luis Arraez went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored on Wednesday, leading the Padres to a 3-0 victory over the Cubs.

    Advice: Arraez wound up reaching base safely in two of his four plate appearances, crossing the plate in the first and fifth innings, respectively, on run-scoring hits from teammates Manny Machado and Jake Cronenworth. The 27-year-old batting title contender has a pair of multi-hit performances in five contests since arriving last week in San Diego. Rotoworld Today, 2:17 pm

  • Davis Schneider reaches three times in Jays’ win
    David Schneider went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a walk against the Phillies on Wednesday.

    Advice: Schneider was in the starting lineup for the ninth time in the last 10 games. That’s quite a change from the start of the year, when he played in just three of the first 10. Also, all six of his starts at second base have come since Apr. 17. None of this was part of John Schneider’s plan, but the manager hasn’t had much choice, what with Davis producing and so many others struggling. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm
     
  • Bobby Witt Jr. homers to lead Royals past Brewers
    Bobby Witt Jr. went 2-for-3 with a solo homer on Wednesday, propelling the Royals to a 6-4 victory over the Brewers.

    Advice: Witt reached base safely in three of his four plate appearances and wound up scoring half of Kansas City’s runs in this one. His eight-inning blast off Brewers reliever Joel Payamps was his fifth of the season and turned out to be an important insurance run as Milwaukee attempted to mount a late comeback in the ensuing frame. It was the first time he’s gone deep in nearly one month since a two-homer outburst back on April 11. Rotoworld Today, 1:57 pm
