  • Tobias Myers RP | NYM

    Mets' Tobias Myers: Back in big leagues

    The Mets recalled Myers from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

    Myers has collected an unsightly 6.21 ERA in three starts and 21 relief appearances for the Mets this season. He will be assigned to the bullpen, where he's capable of eating multiple innings.

  • Xzavion Curry RP | NYM

    Mets' Xzavion Curry: Contract selected

    The Mets selected Curry's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

    Curry began the season in the Mexican League before signing with the Mets in May and being assigned to Syracuse, where he logged a 4.74 ERA and 32:12 K:BB over 49.1 innings. He'll give the Mets' bullpen some much-needed length after the club yielded 16 runs in Tuesday's loss to the Royals.

  • Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Shielded from southpaw

    Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    The Tigers will send Carpenter and fellow left-handed hitters Colt Keith and James Outman to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Ben Malgeri will spell Carpenter in right field and will bat seventh.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Taking seat against lefty

    Keith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    The Tigers will send Keith and fellow left-handed hitters Kerry Carpenter and James Outman to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Detroit manager A.J. Hinch has shielded Keith from same-handed pitching throughout the season, with the 24-year-old logging just 17 of his 260 plate appearances against lefties.

  • James Outman CF | DET

    Tigers' James Outman: Held out of lineup vs. lefty

    Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    The Tigers will send Outman and fellow left-handed hitters Kerry Carpenter and Colt Keith to the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Matt Vierling will cover center field in place of Outman, who went 5-for-35 (.143 average) with two home runs, six RBI, five runs and a 3:14 K:BB while starting in each of the Tigers' last 11 games.

  • Rays' Richie Palacios: Exiting starting lineup

    Palacios is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Yankees.

    The lefty-swinging Palacios started the previous four games and six of the last seven versus righty hurlers, but he'll step out of the starting lineup Wednesday. Ben Williamson is covering second base for the Rays.

  • Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Shelved with glute strain

    The Pirates placed Rodriguez on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left glute strain.

    Rodriguez exited Sunday's 11-5 win over the Nationals with what had been described as a left hip issue, but the Pirates have since provided more clarity regarding the catcher's injury. Since the 26-year-old backstop's move to the IL is retroactive to Monday, he'll be eligible to play coming out of the All-Star break, though it's not yet clear if Rodriguez is on pace to be ready to play by then. In the meantime, Henry Davis is expected to serve as the Pirates' primary catcher while Rafael Flores was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to provide the team with another option behind the plate.

  • Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Absent from lineup

    Feduccia is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.

    Feduccia started at catcher in Tuesday's contest but will begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench. Nick Fortes is behind the dish for the Rays.

  • Rays' Victor Mesa: Out of Wednesday's lineup

    Mesa is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.

    Mesa has now started just one of three games in the series after being in the lineup for nine of the previous 10 contests. Jonny DeLuca will patrol right field and hit fifth for the Rays.

  • Dominic Smith DH | ATL

    Braves' Dominic Smith: Not starting against righty

    Smith is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt in Pittsburgh.

    It's righty Jared Jones on the bump for the Pirates, but the left-handed-hitting Smith will begin the contest on the bench. It's the first time since May 6 that Smith has been absent from the lineup when the opposition has a right-hander on the mound. Drake Baldwin is getting a start at designated hitter, and Joey Bart will be Atlanta's catcher.
