  • Multi-hit effort in Tuesday's win
    Toro went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: JJ Bleday stole the spotlight for the suddenly surging Athletics with his pair of home runs, but Toro turned in a noteworthy performance while playing a bit of small ball. The 27-year-old extended his hitting streak to five games in the process, a stretch during which he's laced a trio of two-baggers and has boosted his average 39 points to .250.

  • Getting rest Wednesday
    Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: With a lefty (Patrick Sandoval) on the mound for the Angels and with the Phillies and Halos wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, the lefty-hitting Stott will get a maintenance day. Whit Merrifield will replace Stott at second base. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Sits against lefty
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: With southpaw Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the bench. Luis Urias will draw the start at third base in the series finale. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago

  • Nursing minor injury
    Rays manager Kevin Cash said Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers due to his body and arm "barking a little bit," Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Cash seemed to suggest that Paredes isn't dealing with anything more than general soreness, with the skipper adding that Wednesday was an optimal time to give the third baseman a breather since he'll benefit from a two-day break with the Rays being off Thursday. Paredes, who had started each of the previous 11 games, should be back in the lineup when the Rays open their series with the Mets on Friday. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago

  • Getting regular run at shortstop
    Hernaiz will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Hernaiz will draw his seventh straight start Wednesday, with three of his last four starts having come at shortstop. He appears to have moved ahead of Nick Allen on the depth chart at shortstop while recording five hits in 17 at-bats to go with four walks since he was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas last Thursday.

  • Sitting in second straight
    Schuemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: After making five consecutive starts at the keystone and going 2-for-13, Schuemann now finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row, both of which have come against right-handed starting pitchers. He looks as though he'll play second fiddle to Abraham Toro at second base while Zack Gelof (oblique) is on the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 am

  • Logs first steal
    Estrada went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Estrada reached on an error and recorded his first steal of the year to get into scoring position, though he was left on base. Considering he logged a combined 44 steals over the previous two seasons, it's unusual that he's been less active on the basepaths. It doesn't help that he's batting just .229 with a .248 on-base percentage for the year, though those numbers improve to .291 and .316, respectively, over the last 16 games. Estrada is still seeing a starting role at second base despite the early struggles, while Tyler Fitzgerald remains in more of a bench role. Rotowire.com Today, 9:38 am
     
  • Shipped to Boston
    The Red Sox acquired Short from the Mets on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.

    Advice: Short had been designated for assignment but has now found a new home. The utility infielder is out of minor-league options, so he will join the Red Sox's 26-man active roster. Rotowire.com Today, 9:05 am

  • Red Sox acquire Zack Short from Mets
    Red Sox acquired INF Zack Short from the Mets in exchange for cash considerations.

    Advice: Short was designated for assignment on Tuesday by the Mets, but it appears the Red Sox were interested in the 28-year-old infielder. He’ll add depth for the Red Sox infield, but he doesn’t hold much fantasy value given his dreadful offensive numbers (1-for-12) through the first month of the season. Rotoworld Today, 9:04 am
