  • Yandy Díaz goes 0-for-5 in loss to Brewers
    Yandy Díaz finished 0-for-5 in the loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.

    Advice: Díaz did reach on an error, but he was credited with four groundouts and one flyout today. His groundball rate is currently checking in at 62%, well above his already problematic career mark of 53%. Hopefully, it’s something he can straightened out in the next few weeks. If not, it looks like we’re back to the Díaz of 2019-21, when he was a valuable major leaguer but one without much to offer in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
  • Astros recall Trey Cabbage from Triple-A
    Astros recalled OF Trey Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: As anticipated, Cabbage will take the roster spot vacated by the recently-demoted Jose Abreu. The 26-year-old outfielder was off to a nice start at Triple-A Sugar Land — slashing .271/.440/.486 with three homers, nine RBI, seven stolen bases and a 29/21 K/BB ratio over 91 plate appearances. He could be an interesting fantasy option in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues if he works his way into regular playing time with the Astros. Rotoworld Today, 1:21 pm
  • Angels place Miguel Sanó (knee) on 10-day IL
    Angels placed INF Miguel Sanó on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 28, with left knee inflammation.

    Advice: The Angels had been playing a man down while the 30-year-old slugger was hobbled by a knee injury, but they simply couldn’t do it any longer. Willie Calhoun had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake to take his place on the active roster. Rotoworld Today, 1:07 pm

  • Scratched due to migraine
    The Angels scratched Drury from the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to migraine.

    Advice: Drury had been in line to bat cleanup and start at second base before the migraine surfaced shortly before first pitch. Luis Rengifo will slide over from third base and start at the keystone in Drury's stead, while Ehire Adrianza was added to the lineup to start at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 1:06 pm
  • Heads to bench Wednesday
    Santander is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Santander will get a breather after he had started each of Baltimore's last 13 games while posting an .886 OPS. The 29-year-old isn't at any risk of losing hold of an everyday role, but he'll cede his spot in the lineup Wednesday to rookie Heston Kjerstad, who has played sparingly since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on April 23.

  • Hits bench against lefty
    Raley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Raley had started in left field in four of the past five games, but he'll head to the bench for the series finale with southpaw Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta. Switch-hitter Sam Haggerty will draw the start in left field Wednesday, but Raley should occupy the strong side of a platoon at the position until Dominic Canzone (shoulder) returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • 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 Today, 11:08 am

  • Marlins send Jake Burger on rehab assignment
    Marlins sent Jake Burger (oblique) on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: The 28-year-old slugger was placed on the injured list a little over two weeks ago and will get some live at-bats with Jacksonville on Wednesday. Prior to hitting the injured list, Burger was slashing .228/.281/.421 with three home runs and 15 RBI in 64 plate appearances this season. If all goes well with his rehab, fantasy managers should expect Burger to be back with the Marlins in the coming days. Rotoworld Today, 11:05 am

  • Out again Wednesday
    Encarnacion-Strand (hand) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Padres.

    Advice: He'll miss a fourth straight start due to lingering left hand soreness following a hit-by-pitch. Encarnacion-Strand has been available off the bench the last two days and presumably will be again Wednesday. He could be back in the lineup Friday against the Orioles after the Reds' off day Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:56 am
