  • Abraham Toro (shoulder) not in lineup Wednesday
    Abraham Toro (shoulder) is not in the Athletics’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

    Advice: Toro has apparently been battling a sore shoulder since Sunday’s doubleheader. The Athletics are hopeful that he’ll be able to avoid a stint on the injured list, but if this goes on for another couple of days they may need to change their stance. Tyler Nevin will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat fifth for the A’s against Cole Ragans and the Royals on Wednesday evening. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago

  • Josh Naylor smacks two home runs against Mariners
    Josh Naylor went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI on Wednesday.

    Advice: Naylor took over this game offensively with a run-scoring single in the first, thunderous home run to break it open in the fifth, and then a solo-shot in the seventh for good measure. He’d been batting under .200 since the start of May after a strong April and knowing how streaky of a hitter Naylor can be, this might be the start of his next hot streak. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago

  • Brandon Drury scratched with illness on Wednesday
    Brandon Drury was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup on Wednesday night due to illness.

    Advice: The 31-year-old infielder had just returned from the injured list on Monday, so it’s encouraging to hear that it’s just an illness keeping him out of action and not a recurrence of his hamstring issue. He should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 4:43 pm

  • Scratched with illness
    Drury was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Wednesday's game versus Milwaukee due to an illness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Drury has gone 1-for-6 with a walk since returning from the injured list Monday, but he'll be sidelined once again Wednesday as he fights off an illness. Luis Guillorme will instead start at the keystone and bat ninth versus right-hander Freddy Peralta. Rotowire.com Today, 4:38 pm

  • Homers Wednesday
    Gorman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Gorman led off the second inning with a 436-foot blast off Yonny Chirinos, cutting St. Louis' deficit to 2-1. It's the first homer in seven games for Gorman, who'd gone just 1-for-28 in that span. Overall, the 24-year-old second baseman is slashing .202/.278/.437 with 16 homers, 34 RBI, 31 runs scored and three steals across 67 games this year. Rotowire.com Today, 4:38 pm

  • Brewers option Oliver Dunn to Triple-A Nashville
    Brewers optioned INF Oliver Dunn to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: The 26-year-old infielder has struggled in his time with the Brewers this season, hitting just .221/.282/.216 with one homer, seven RBI, three swipes and a 40/6 K/BB ratio over 104 plate appearances. He’ll see if he can get back track while playing every day at Triple-A. Tyler Black was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Today, 4:34 pm

  • Brewers recall Tyler Black from Triple-A Nashville
    Brewers recalled INF Tyler Black from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: He’ll take the place of Oliver Dunn on the Brewers’ active roster after Dunn was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday. Black has done nothing but hit at the Triple-A level this season, but slashed just .227/.261/.318 with zero homers, zero RBI and two stolen bases in 23 plate appearances with the big-league club his last time up. Let’s hope, for fantasy managers’ sake, that he gets a real opportunity for at-bats this time around. Rotoworld Today, 4:32 pm
     
  • Nolan Jones scratched due to illness on Wednesday
    Nolan Jones was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Wednesday night due to illness.

    Advice: Fortunately, he’s not dealing with any serious ailments and should be able to return to action in a day or two. Sean Bouchard will start in his place in left field and will bat sixth for the Rockies against Bobby Miller and the Dodgers. Rotoworld Today, 4:27 pm

  • Scratched Wednesday
    Jones was scratched from the Rockies' lineup before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to illness, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Jones was reportedly feeling unwell ahead of Wednesday's contest, so he'll step out of the lineup and use the day to recover. Sean Bouchard will instead serve as Colorado's left fielder and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 4:21 pm
