    • Sharp in eighth win
      Singer (8-6) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up three runs on six hits over seven innings in a 10-3 rout of the White Sox. He struck out four without walking a batter.

      Advice: The right-hander gave up three straight hits to lead off the bottom of the second inning, with all three Chicago runners eventually coming around to score, but otherwise Singer held the opposition in check as he collected his third straight win and fourth in his last five outings. The 27-year-old has allowed three runs or less in eight of his last nine starts, posting a 2.33 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 43:15 K:BB through 54 innings over that stretch. Singer will look to extend his win streak in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come early next week at home against the Red Sox. Rotowire.com Today, 5:36 pm
       
    • Brady Singer tosses seven frames to beat White Sox
      Brady Singer gave up three runs over seven innings on Wednesday in a win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Singer took full advantage of a favorable matchup against Chicago’s watered-down lineup following their trade deadline teardown over the last few days. He struck out four and didn’t hand out a free pass. All of the damage against him came during a strange third inning when he coughed up a two-run double to former teammate Andrew Benintendi and a run-scoring single to Dominic Fletcher. He’ll bring a sparkling 2.88 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 115/36 K/BB ratio across 125 innings (22 starts) into a home outing on Monday against the Red Sox. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm
       
    • Drops third straight
      Sanchez (7-7) took the loss against the Yankees Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

      Advice: Sanchez didn't pitch as poorly as his final line would indicate Wednesday -- the majority of the damage against him came on DJ LeMahieu's grand slam in the second inning. The left-hander would then keep the Yankees off the board for three straight innings -- however, Sanchez allowed a pair of two-out singles in the sixth before he was replaced by Jose Ruiz, who would allow both inherited runners to score. It's the third straight loss for Sanchez, who's struggled to a 6.59 ERA in his last five outings. His ERA is up to 3.36 on the season with a 1.28 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB across 21 starts (120.2 innings). Sanchez will look to get back on track his next time out -- he's currently in line for a tough road matchup with the Dodgers early next week. Rotowire.com Today, 1:53 pm
       
    • Taking seat Wednesday
      Busch is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: Busch will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitter Mike Tauchman while the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the hill. Patrick Wisdom will cover first base in Busch's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 1:53 pm

    • Tyler O’Neill not in Red Sox lineup on Wednesday
      Tyler O’Neill is not in the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s showdown against the Mariners.

      Advice: The Red Sox have done a nice job managing O’Neill’s workload this season in an effort to keep him healthy and productive, so he’ll get a planned breather in this one against George Kirby and the Mariners. Rob Refsnyder will draw a rare start in his place against a right-hander and will bat fifth for the Red Sox on Wednesday afternoon. Rotoworld Today, 1:03 pm

    • Cristopher Sánchez torched for six runs in loss
      Cristopher Sánchez was lit up for six runs over 5 2/3 innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Yankees.

      Advice: It was another rare hiccup for Sánchez, who has suffered a pair of blowup outings over the last few weeks. The 27-year-old southpaw served up eight hits with a second-inning grand slam by veteran DJ LeMahieu accounting for the majority of the damage against him in this one. On the bright side, he still finished with seven strikeouts and only handed out one free pass. He’ll bring a strong 3.36 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 98/31 K/BB ratio across 120 2/3 innings (21 starts) into a challenging road tilt on Tuesday against the Dodgers. Rotoworld Today, 12:48 pm
       
    • Absent from lineup
      O'Neill is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: O'Neill will get a routine day off after he had started in each of the previous five contests. Rob Refsnyder and Wilyer Abreu will cover the corner-outfield spots for the Red Sox. Rotowire.com Today, 9:36 am

    • Out of lineup again
      Gorman isn't in the lineup for Wednesday contest versus the Rangers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: The Cardinals are facing a lefty in Andrew Heaney, and the lefty-hitting Gorman is now on the bench for a fourth straight matchup with a southpaw. He's exiting the starting nine five times across the last seven games, even sitting once against a righty during that span. Brendan Donovan will occupy second base Wednesday.

    • Taking seat versus southpaw
      Turang is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Atlanta is sending left-hander Chris Sale to the hill, so the lefty-hitting Turang will begin the contest on the bench. Andruw Monasterio will occupy second base for the Brewers. Rotowire.com Today, 8:43 am
