MLB Player News

Anderson is not starting for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

The Marlins are rotating several players for the doubleheader. Anderson is likely to return to the lineup for the second game. Isaac Galloway will start in right field in Anderson's place.

Robinson is expected to come back to Texas when rosters expand Sept. 1, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Robinson was recently sent down to Triple-A Round Rock when Delino DeShields (concussion) came off the disabled list, but Rangers manager Jeff Banister was pleased with the adjustments Robinson's made since his first demotion in May. "We like what we saw from Drew," Banister said. "He made some nice adjustments in the batter's box. We know what he can do defensively and with his versatility. He had more consistent at-bats, the swing-and-miss is down. We like the improvements, and we like the adjustments." For now, Robinson will ply his craft at Round Rock while Delino DeShields is evaluated as the center fielder for next season. DeShields has been demoted twice due to a poor batting average and on-base percentage. If DeShields doesn't clean up his approach, the Rangers could move onto Robinson as the center fielder in 2019.

Arenado (shoulder) is confident he'll play Tuesday against the Astros, Nick Groke of The Athletic Denver reports.

Arenado was nearly healthy enough to play in Sunday's series finale, but the Rockies elected to hold him out as a precaution. It's unclear if he'll slot in at third base or in the designated hitter spot, but it's good news that he'll return to action shortly after dealing with a minor shoulder issue.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and one RBI in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Royals.

Not a bad MLB debut for the 26-year-old, scoring a pair of runs and earning his first two big-league hits. It remains to be seen exactly what role Wisdom will be playing during his first MLB stint, but there's no guarantee he'll have an everyday spot just yet.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a run scored and one RBI in the 4-3 loss to Seattle on Sunday.

Bregman slapped an RBI single and later scored during Houston's eight inning rally. The 24-year-old is riding a short seven-game hitting streak, raising his season average to .280, just shy of his .284 mark last season. With 22 homers and 73 RBI, Bregman has established himself as a strong fantasy infielder.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Twins.

The team batted Candelario first in this one in an effort to get the 24-year-old going, as he came into the day batting just .184 over his last 30 games. Based on the two-hit performance, expect Candelario to get more run from the leadoff spot moving forward.

Rendon is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cubs.

Rendon was scratched from Saturday's contest with a wrist contusion, and it appears the issue hasn't been resolved yet. He'll get another day off to rest, allowing Mark Reynolds to pick up a start at third base in his place.

Chapman went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Angels on Saturday.

Chapman's streak of reaching safely has now reached 19 games, a stretch during which he's boosted his season average 27 points to .274. The 25-year-old has racked up 45 extra-base hits (23 doubles, six triples, 16 home runs) over 101 games this season, leading to an impressive .500 slugging percentage.

Arenado (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers.

Arenado will be held out of the lineup for the second straight day with right shoulder soreness, although he was hit by a pitch in a pinch-hit appearance Saturday. The 27-year-old is presumably available to pinch hit again Sunday, and could serve as designated hitter for Tuesday and Wednesday's interleague series at Houston to gain some additional rest for his throwing arm.

Ramirez is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

Ramirez hasn't gotten a day off since early May, so he'll get some time to rest during Sunday's series finale. He continues to scorch the league with across-the-board production, producing an 1.117 OPS with five stolen bases over the past 14 games. Erik Gonzalez will log a start at the hot corner in his stead.
