    • Not starting against southpaw
      Carpenter isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: St. Louis will match up against left-handed starter Andrew Abbott on Thursday, so the lefty-hitting Carpenter will step out of the lineup. Willson Contreras will take over as the DH while Pedro Pages starts at catcher and bats ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:34 pm
       
    • Jorge Mateo starts third straight game at 2B
      Jorge Mateo is starting at second base and hitting ninth for the Orioles on Thursday against the Rangers.

      Advice: Mateo has now started three straight games and four of the last five. However, he’s hitting just .240/.282/.453 with five home runs, 12 steals, and a 23 percent strikeout rate. However, he’s hitting just .225 in June and Coby Mayo is on fire in Triple-A, so Mateo might need to go on a hot streak to keep getting starting opportunities. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:39 am

    • Sitting third straight
      Urias isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: After making three straight starts at third base, Urias has now been absent from the Orioles' last three starting lineups. Jordan Westburg will move to the hot corner Thursday while Jorge Mateo starts at the keystone and bats ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:32 am

    • Makes season debut
      Soto served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Pirates.

      Advice: Soto made his first appearance for the Reds since being recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. With Noelvi Marte (suspension) expected to be reinstated Thursday, Soto could return to Louisville. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:15 am
       
    • Sitting during nightcap
      Carpenter isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

      Advice: Carpenter went 1-for-1 with a single and a sacrifice fly during a loss in Game 1, and the Cardinals will give him a breather to conclude Wednesday's activities. Willson Contreras will instead serve as St. Louis' DH while Pedro Pages starts behind the plate. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:20 pm
       
    • Candelario dealing with hamstring tendinitis
      Reds’ manager David Bell told reporters that Jeimer Candelario was held out of the team’s starting lineup on Wednesday due to hamstring tendinitis.

      Advice: The injury isn’t believed to be serious, and sounds like something the 30-year-old slugger has been dealing with for a while. He’s considered day-to-day. On the season, Candelario is slashing a respectable .245/.298/.480 with 14 homers, 39 RBI and three stolen bases. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:02 pm
       
    • Dealing with hamstring tendinitis
      Reds manager David Bell clarified Wednesday that Candelario is dealing with hamstring tendinitis and is considered day-to-day, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: Candelario has been nursing the issue for more than a week, with Bell saying before Wednesday's loss to the Pirates that the injury is "progressively not getting better." However, the team doesn't seem to have any plans at this time to put Candelario on the 10-day injured list. Even if Candelario avoids the IL, he could still be deployed at designated hitter for a few games to ease the stress on his legs. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:57 pm
       
    • Out again Wednesday
      Urias is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Guardians.

      Advice: After making three straight starts at third base, Urias will hit the bench for the second game in a row. Jorge Mateo will pick up another start in the infield while Urias takes a seat. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:42 pm

    • Held out again Wednesday
      Drury (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Drury hasn't played in more than a week due to an upper-respiratory virus. The Angels have resisted placing him on the 10-day injured list thus far, and the team hasn't provided an indication that it has changed its stance, so consider Drury day-to-day. Luis Rengifo will cover second base Wednesday in Drury's stead. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:39 am
