  • Moves to bench Wednesday
    Brujan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Tim Anderson (thumb) returning to action following a one-game absence, Brujan will head to the bench after filling in as Miami's starting shortstop in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win. Before Tuesday, Brujan had started three of the Marlins' previous four games at third base, and he'll continue to vie with Emmanuel Rivera for playing time at that position until Jake Burger (oblique) returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • Cleared to start Wednesday
    Anderson (thumb) will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Anderson was out of the lineup for Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win due to a left thumb sprain, but he was able to enter the contest as a pinch runner in the bottom of the 10th and ended up scoring the game-tying run. He's now ready to reclaim his usual spot in the infield, after Vidal Brujan drew the start at shortstop Tuesday. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
  • Fills in for resting Bogaerts
    Wade will start at second base and bat ninth Wednesday against the Reds.

    Advice: Wade will stay in the starting nine for the second straight day, but his run of regular playing time at third base against right-handed pitching has come to an end with Manny Machado having recently been cleared to play defense after he had been deployed exclusively at designated hitter for much of the first month of the season. With Machado likely to start at third base more often than not, Wade looks poised to serve as a utility man moving forward. Wade will pick up his first start of the season at second base while Xander Bogaerts receives a day off. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
  • Gets rare day off
    Bogaerts is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Bogaerts will hit the bench for just the second time all season in what appears to be a routine maintenance day after he had started each of the past 16 games. Tyler Wade will step in for Bogaerts at second base and will bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:56 am
  • Belts second homer
    Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday in a loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Neto plated the Angels' first run with a 408-foot blast in the third inning. It was his second long ball over his past six games after he failed to go deep in any of his first 23 contests of the campaign. Neto has gotten off to a slow start to 2024, slashing .228/.278/.356 with eight runs, 11 RBI and four steals through 108 plate appearances. His strikeout rate sits at 30.6 percent, a significant increase over his 23.4 percent rate as a rookie last year. Rotowire.com Today, 10:43 am
  • 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.

  • 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

  • Gets breather Wednesday
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Lopez's streak of six consecutive starts will come to an end Wednesday as White Sox manager Pedro Grifol gives the second baseman the afternoon off in a day game after a night game. Braden Shewmake will spell Lopez at the keystone, while designated hitter Robbie Grossman takes over as the White Sox's leadoff hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 8:55 am
