  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Season debut coming soon

    Neto (shoulder) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Neto played a full game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday and hit his fourth home run in what was his 12th rehab contest. He's slated for another nine full innings with Salt Lake on Wednesday. The Angels finish up a road trip in Texas on Thursday, so it seems likelier that they'll wait until their homestand -- which begins Friday -- before activating Neto. Sunday is the final day of Neto's 20-day rehab window, so the latest he'll be activated is likely Tuesday versus the Pirates.

  • Will Wagner DH | SD

    Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Sitting against righty again

    Wagner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    The lefty-hitting Wagner is off to a 3-for-28 start to the plate in April, and the ongoing slump has started to cost him some playing time. He'll be on the bench for the second time in the Blue Jays' last three matchups versus right-handers, with Ernie Clement getting the nod at third base as Atlanta sends Spencer Strider to the mound.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Another game off due to injury

    Springer (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Springer will end up going without a start in all three games of the Blue Jays' series versus Atlanta while he tends to a swollen left wrist. He could be available off the bench Wednesday, though with an off day on tap Thursday, the Blue Jays could prefer to stay away from him. If Springer's wrist is still bothering him heading into the weekend series with the Mariners, a stint on the injured list could be necessary.

  • Keider Montero SP | DET

    Tigers' Keider Montero: Recalled ahead of spot start

    The Tigers recalled Montero from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

    Montero will get a spot start Wednesday in Milwaukee as the Tigers look to provide their regular rotation members with extra rest. The right-hander was off to a nice start with Toledo, permitting three runs with an 11:1 K:BB over 9.2 frames covering his first two outings.

  • Zach McKinstry RF | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Not starting versus lefty

    McKinstry is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Milwaukee, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    The lefty-swinging McKinstry will grab a seat as left-hander Jose Quintana toes the slab for the Brewers. McKinstry has been seeing most of his playing time in right field lately, but that spot will be covered by Justyn-Henry Malloy in Wednesday's series finale.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Getting breather Wednesday

    Dingler is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Brewers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Dingler caught the first two games of the series, so he'll get a breather in Wednesday's matinee. Tomas Nido will be behind the plate and bat seventh.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Grabbing seat Wednesday

    Keith is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    The left-handed-hitting Keith will get a day off as the Brewers send southpaw Jose Quintana to the hill. Spencer Torkelson will be at first base for the Tigers.

  • Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Sitting versus southpaw

    Carpenter is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Milwaukee, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    It's southpaw Jose Quintana on the bump for the Brewers, so the left-handed-hitting Carpenter will begin the festivities on the bench. Justyn-Henry Malloy is getting a start in right field, while Gleyber Torres will handle designated-hitter duties.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Won't start Wednesday

    Correa (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    After fouling off a pitch during his third plate appearance of the night in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 6-3 win, Correa was seen shaking his left hand in discomfort and was visited on the field by manager Rocco Baldelli and a team trainer. Following a brief conversation, Correa was lifted for a pinch hitter, and the Twins relayed afterward that he was dealing with a sore left wrist. He'll sit out Wednesday's series finale and will undergo an MRI as the Twins look to glean more information regarding the extent of the injury. Willi Castro will fill in for Correa at shortstop Wednesday, opening up a spot in the starting nine at third base for Brooks Lee.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Back in lineup Wednesday

    Rodgers (hip) will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals.

    It's Rodgers' first start in a week, as he's been dealing with a hip issue. He did make one pinch-hitting appearance during that stretch and is well enough to return to the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.
