  • Out of Philadelphia lineup
    Marsh is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: It's southpaw Trevor Rogers toeing the rubber for Miami, so the left-handed hitting Marsh will take a seat. Cristian Pache will be in center field and Kyle Schwarber will cover left. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago

  • Lamonte Wade Jr. coming off IL on Thursday
    According to MLB.com’s Maria I. Guardado, the Giants will activate 1B/OF Lamonte Wade Jr. (hamstring) from the 10-day IL on Friday.

    Advice: The veteran was placed on the IL at the end of May and will have missed about four weeks. Wade has a tremendous on-base percentage and will return to an everyday role against right-handed pitching. That will send David Villar back to the bench. Rotoworld Today, 11:27 am

  • Poised to come off IL Friday
    Wade (hamstring) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Wade has been sidelined for the past month with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain but has been cleared to return after playing three rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento, going 1-for-7 with a 2:4 K:BB. The 30-year-old has slashed a robust .333/.470/.426 for the Giants this season and will go back to receiving regular starts at first base against right-handed pitching. Rotowire.com Today, 11:11 am

  • Andrew Benintendi sitting versus a lefty
    Andrew Benintendi is not in the White Sox starting lineup on Thursday against the Braves.

    Advice: With the Braves starting left-hander Chris Sale, the White Sox will turn to Corey Julks in left field over Benintendi. This is now the second straight left-handed pitcher that Benintendi has sat against, and it seems like he’s becoming a part-time player. It makes sense considering he’s hitting .199/.245/.308 in 237 plate appearances this season. Rotoworld Today, 10:40 am
     
  • Getting day off against lefty
    Larnach is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Larnach will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitter Max Kepler as the Twins add a pair of right-handed bats (Manuel Margot and Kyle Farmer) to the lineup to counter Diamondbacks southpaw Jordan Montgomery. Expect Larnach to rejoin the starting nine for the Twins' series opener in Seattle on Friday, when right-hander Logan Gilbert is scheduled to take the hill for the Mariners.

  • Playing time drying up
    Martin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Martin had previously made starts in five consecutive games at three different positions from June 16 through June 21, but his playing time has since trended downward while the Twins have had all regular members of their lineup available. He'll be on the bench for the fourth time in five contests and will likely see limited opportunities moving forward, unless an injury opens up a path to a starting role. Rotowire.com Today, 10:31 am

  • Getting regular playing time
    Matos will start in right field and bat sixth Thursday against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Matos is being included in the lineup for the fifth time in six games, and he looks like he'll hang on to a regular role in the corner outfield while Mike Yastrzemski (oblique) is on the injured list. Since getting called up from Triple-A Sacramento last weekend, Matos has gone 6-for-14 with a solo home run. Rotowire.com Today, 10:22 am

  • Hitting bench against southpaw
    Conforto is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Conforto will hit the bench for the second time in the series as the Cubs send southpaw Shota Imanaga to the hill. The Giants will go with the right-handed-hitting Austin Slater in left field in place of Conforto, who had plated at least one run in four of his last five games. Rotowire.com Today, 10:19 am
     
  • Hitting bench against lefty
