Player Notes

  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    The Cardinals outrighted Rivas to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday after he cleared waivers.

    Advice: While no longer on St. Louis' 40-man roster, Rivas will remain in the organization as depth. The 27-year-old is sporting just a .246/.364/.323 batting line with zero home runs this season at Memphis. Rotowire.com Today, 11:18 am
  • Losing out on playing time
    Nevin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Nevin seems to have lost hold of an everyday role in the Oakland outfield; he's now been on the bench in five consecutive matchups versus right-handed pitching. The 26-year-old should at least continue to see regular starts against left-handed pitching as a platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Seth Brown. Rotowire.com Today, 11:02 am
  • Gaining foothold in lineup
    Goodman will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Goodman will make his fourth start in five games -- and his third at DH -- after going 4-for-12 with two doubles, an RBI, a run and a stolen base across his prior three contests. His inclusion in the lineup Thursday comes while the Rockies are resting four key regulars (Kris Bryant, Charlie Blackmon, Elias Diaz and Brendan Rodgers), but Goodman's recent usage suggests that he'll be a priority in the lineup over Elehuris Montero, who didn't start either of the past two days following Bryant's return from the injured list.

  • Checking out of lineup Thursday
    Rodgers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Rodgers will be joined on the bench by Elias Diaz, Charlie Blackmon and Kris Bryant as the Rockies rest four key regulars for the day game after a night game. Alan Trejo will step in at second base in place of Rodgers, who had slashed .280/.314/.317 with zero home runs and his first career stolen base while starting in each of the Rockies' previous 20 games.

  • Receiving Thursday off
    Bryant is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Bryant will be joined on the bench by Elias Diaz, Charlie Blackmon and Brendan Rodgers as the Rockies rest four key regulars for the day game after a night game. After being activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Bryant started at first base in both of the first two games of the series in Oakland, going 1-for-8 with two walks between the contests. Elehuris Montero will replace Bryant at first base Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:44 am
  • Getting breather Thursday
    Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Blackmon will be joined on the bench by Elias Diaz, Kris Bryant and Brendan Rodgers as the Rockies rest four key regulars for the day game after a night game. Hunter Goodman will pick up the start at designated hitter in place of Blackmon. Rotowire.com Today, 10:42 am
  • Resting Thursday
    Diaz is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Diaz will be joined on the bench by Charlie Blackmon, Kris Bryant and Brendan Rodgers as the Rockies rest four key regulars for the day game after a night game. Jacob Stallings will fill in behind the plate in place of Diaz, who went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 win. Rotowire.com Today, 10:40 am
  • Moving back to bench role
    Madrigal is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Madrigal had started at second base or third base in seven of the past eight games, but his opportunities to pick up playing time in the infield are likely to be more limited moving forward after shortstop Dansby Swanson and second baseman Nico Hoerner both recently returned from injuries. The 27-year-old hasn't done much with the opportunities he's received with the Cubs this season, slashing .213/.276/.250 with no home runs and one stolen base across 87 plate appearances.

  • Getting rest Thursday
    Amaya is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Amaya will receive a breather as Chicago and Atlanta wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Yan Gomes will check in behind the dish to replace Amaya, who had started at catcher in five of the Cubs' previous six games. Rotowire.com Today, 10:30 am
