  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Belts clutch homer

    Arcia went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a 10-inning with over the Mets on Thursday.

    The shortstop singled home a run in the third inning and came through with a game-tying solo homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth off Mets closer David Robertson. The long ball was Arcia's first since May 17, a span of 19 games. Despite the recent power drought, he's been hitting pretty well, slashing .309/.356/.368 over that stretch.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Absent from lineup

    Rojas (neck) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Cincinnati.

    Rojas exited Wednesday's contest versus the Reds with neck tightness and will miss at least one start. The Dodgers will go with Chris Taylor at shortstop for Thursday's afternoon tilt.

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Leaves with neck tightness

    Rojas left Wednesday's game against the Reds due to neck tightness.

    It's unclear how severe Rojas' injury is at the moment, but the Dodgers should provide additional updates in the near future. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Back from concussion IL

    Milwaukee activated Adames (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

    Adames will return to action for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, less than two weeks after getting struck in the head by an errant foul ball while he was sitting in the dugout. Brice Turang was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding roster move.

  • Tommy Edman LF | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Swipes bag despite going hitless

    Edman went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.

    Edman wound up stealing his ninth base of the year after walking in the sixth. He leads the Cardinals in steals but otherwise has lacked steady production at the plate. His last RBI was back on May 23 and he's notched just six hits in 12 games since then. For the year, the 28-year-old switch hitter is slashing .255/.316/.432 with six homers, 21 RBI, 30 runs and a 16:31 BB:K over 214 plate appearances.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: On bench Wednesday

    Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    With an .855 OPS over 167 plate appearances on the season, the switch-hitting Perdomo has worked his way out of a strict platoon with Nick Ahmed, but the Diamondbacks will still hold Perdomo out of the lineup against left-handed pitching occasionally. Perdomo, who went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win, will give way to Ahmed at shortstop Wednesday while southpaw Patrick Corbin takes the hill for Washington.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Remains out Wednesday

    Bogaerts (wrist) is not in the starting lineup against Seattle on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Bogaerts will get at least one more game off as he deals with the soreness in his left wrist that has kept him out since Sunday. The shortstop is hopeful he can avoid a stint on the injured list, but if he can't return by Friday, the Padres may need to place the infielder on the shelf so they're not playing a man short. Ha-Seong Kim is playing shortstop with Jake Cronenworth at second base for Wednesday's finale against the Mariners.

  • Pirates' Tucupita Marcano: On bench versus southpaw

    Marcano will sit Wednesday against Oakland, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Marcano will head to the bench as the Pirates face southpaw Hogan Harris on the mound. Rodolfo Castro will slide over to shortstop while Mark Mathias enters the lineup at second base and bats seventh in the series finale with the Athletics.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Marlins' Joey Wendle: Adds two more hits

    Wendle went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's win over Kansas City.

    Wendle has now hit safely in his last four games, going 8-for-16 with four doubles in that span. His recent hot stretch boosts his slash line to .250/.325/.389 through 82 plate appearances this season. The veteran shortstop has five RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base in his second year with Miami.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: On base three times in debut

    De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Dodgers.

    De La Cruz's first career MLB hit was a 112-mph double to the gap in right-center field, which is already the hardest-hit ball by any Reds player this season. He showcased his patience by drawing two walks and also recorded a sprint speed of 30.4 feet per second. He has all the tools to be a star and should be a set-it-and-forget-it player in fantasy lineups now that he's up in the majors for good.
