    • Prevents shutout with homer
      Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics.

      Advice: Rodriguez got the Mariners on the board in the ninth inning, taking a 102.5 mph offering from Mason Miller deep to center field. This was Rodriguez's third homer over his last 11 games, a span in which he's gone 15-for-42 (.357) with 10 RBI. The star outfielder continues to shake off a slow start to the year, and he's now at a .270/.317/.351 slash line with five homers, 24 RBI, 27 runs scored and 14 stolen bases through 63 contests.

    • Julio RodrĂ­guez socks solo homer in loss to A’s
      Julio Rodríguez went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk against the A’s on Wednesday.

      Advice: Rodríguez made sure the Mariners would not be shut out against the A’s on Wednesday. He took Mason Miller deep to lead off the ninth inning to bring Seattle to within a run. The 23-year-old outfielder is slashing .270/.317/.351 with five homers, 27 runs scored, 24 RBI, and 14 steals across 265 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:03 pm
       
    • Mariners still await results of AndrĂ©s Muñoz’ MRI
      The Mariners are still awaiting the results of the MRI exam on the injured back of right-hander Andrés Muñoz.

      Advice: The Mariners have yet to make a roster move prior to Wednesday’s game against the Athletics and Muñoz was with the rest of the M’s relievers in the bullpen during warmups, though he did not throw. If a save situation should arise while Muñoz is sidelined, Ryne Stanek looks like the most likely candidate to fill that role. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:58 pm
       
    • Next start coming Sunday
      Mazur is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks at Petco Park, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

      Advice: With Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Yu Darvish (groin) both landing on the injured list over the weekend, Randy Vasquez and Mazur were summoned from Triple-A El Paso to fill the two openings in the rotation. Mazur made his first MLB start Tuesday and held his own in a no-decision against the Angels, covering six innings and striking out two while allowing one run on two hits and four walks. The 23-year-old righty should stick around with the big club until the Friars get at least one of Musgrove or Darvish back from the IL. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:54 pm
       
    • Yainer Diaz homers in third straight game vs. Cards
      Yainer Diaz belted a solo homer on Wednesday in the Astros’ loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Diaz might want to consider relocating to the NL Central after homering for the third consecutive game on Wednesday afternoon against the Cardinals. The 25-year-old slugging backstop had just three round-trippers over 52 games to open the year, but has doubled his season total in just three contests since June 3. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:31 pm

    • Josh Lowe returns to lineup against Marlins
      Josh Lowe, who didn’t start Tuesday in his return from the injured list, is in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Marlins.

      Advice: Josh Lowe, Brandon Lowe and Ben Rortvedt are all starting for the Rays today, even though the Marlins are throwing a left-hander in Braxton Garrett. Factoring in big time there is that the Rays also faced left-handers on Sunday and Tuesday, had Monday off and have another day off tomorrow; they can’t have all of their lefties sitting around that long without playing. Josh Lowe is less likely to be treated as a true platoon guy than the Rays’ other left-handed hitters, assuming that he can stay healthy from here and resume producing like he did last season.

    • Taking seat against lefty
      Cruz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Cruz will move to the bench Wednesday while the Dodgers bring southpaw James Paxton to the hill. He'll cede his spot at shortstop to Nick Gonzales. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:48 am

    • Next start pushed back
      Crawford's next scheduled start will be pushed back to early next week against the Phillies, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Crawford's next turn comes up Sunday versus the White Sox, but the Red Sox want to give him some extra rest given his recent struggles (he's allowed four or more earned runs in four of his last five starts). Boston is expected to go with a bullpen game Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:55 am
       
    • Red Sox may push back Kutter Crawford’s start
      The Red Sox are looking at going with a bullpen game on Sunday and pushing Kutter Crawford’s next start back to Tuesday.

      Advice: Bad news for those hoping Crawford would bounce back against the White Sox. He’ll instead face the Phillies if the Red Sox follow through on this, though at least he’d be doing so on six days’ rest instead of four. The Red Sox are off Monday, which makes the bullpen game a little more feasible. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:45 am
