  • Jacob Stallings plates two as Rockies crush Padres
    Jacob Stallings went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs on Wednesday in a lopsided victory over the Padres in San Diego.

    Advice: Stallings smacked a two-run single off of Michael King in the third inning that extended the Rockies’ lead to 5-0. That would be more than enough run support for their pitching staff in this one. With his two-hit attack, Stallings is now hitting a healthy .320/.397/.480 with two homers and 11 RBI in 58 plate appearances on the season. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
     
  • Jurickson Profar swipes base in loss on Wednesday
    Jurickson Profar singled and stole a base on Wednesday afternoon as the Padres were shut out by the Rockies.

    Advice: Profar smacked a leadoff single off of Austin Gomber in the fourth inning and swiped second base, but the Padres couldn’t cash him in from there. He finished the afternoon 1-for-4 with a strikeout. On the season, he’s still slashing a robust .322/.412/.513 with seven homers, 29 RBI and three stolen bases. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
     
  • Day off Wednesday
    Gorman isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Gorman will get a day to clear his head after striking out four times during Tuesday's win over the Halos. Brendan Donovan will fill in at the keystone Wednesday while Alec Burleson, Mike Siani and Lars Nootbaar start across the outfield. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago

  • Brandon Pfaadt spins nine-strikeout gem vs. Reds
    Brandon Pfaadt recorded nine strikeouts and allowed one run over seven innings on Wednesday in a no-decision against the Reds.

    Advice: Pfaadt surrendered just two hits and a pair of walks over seven frames, trading zeroes with opposing starter Andrew Abbott into the late innings of a throwback pitcher’s duel, with a fifth-inning solo shot by utilityman Santiago Espinal accounting for the only damage against him. The 25-year-old righty generated just eight swinging strikes, but threw an impressive 61 of 93 pitches for strikes. He’ll carry a strong 4.17 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 51/10 K/BB ratio across 54 innings (nine starts) into a challenging road tilt on Tuesday against the division-rival Dodgers.

  • Sean Murphy (oblique) nearing rehab assignment
    Sean Murphy (oblique) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week.

    Advice: It’s been a very slow and methodical progression for Murphy, who was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain at the end of March. He should only need a couple of games in the minor leagues before he’s ready to return to the Braves’ lineup. If all goes well, it’s possible that he could be ready to return next weekend.

  • Jonathan India scratched due to migraine
    Jonathan India was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup due to a migraine.

    Advice: The Reds are sticking with their plan to give Elly De La Cruz the day off, so this means Spencer Steer, who was due to play first, will make his first start at second base this year. Jacob Hurtubise entered the lineup as the left fielder. Rotoworld Today, 12:25 pm
     
  • Scratched from lineup
    India was a late scratch from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona due to a migraine, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Spencer Steer will shift to second base to cover for India, while Jacob Hurtubise will enter the lineup in left field. Consider India day-to-day for the time being. Rotowire.com Today, 12:14 pm
     
  • Option to start Thursday
    Martinez is an option to start Thursday's game against the Dodgers in place of Nick Lodolo (groin), Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Martinez would be pitching on three days' rest after he had a 1.1-inning relief appearance on May 12. He remains relatively stretched out, though, having made four starts for the Reds this season, with the last one coming on April 30. Martinez wouldn't have a full workload at his disposal Thursday, but he looks to be the favorite to take the ball for the Reds that day. Rotowire.com Today, 10:33 am
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: He'll get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon game after starting behind the plate both of the past two days while going 4-for-9 with two doubles and three runs. Luke Maile will get the starting nod behind the plate in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
