Cubs sign Austin Wynns to minors contract

Pratt is right back in Milwaukee’s lineup after being benched by manager Pat Murphy during Tuesday’s game against the Mets for failing to get a bunt down and not running out of the box on a pop up that ultimately fell for a hit in shallow right field. It will hopefully serve as a learning experience for the 22-year-old top prospect as he continues to acclimate to everyday life in the majors.

Bauers has been dealing with a relatively minor foot issue for the last couple weeks. He’s presumably available off the bench with rookie Luis Lara taking over in right field to open the contest.

It appears to be a routine day off for Chourio, who hasn’t taken a seat since last month’s All-Star break. It’ll be Sal Frelick taking over in left field for his first action since coming off the injured list.

Caglianone is back in right field and hitting third following a brief two-game absence due to ankle soreness. The 23-year-old slugger has been on fire since last month’s All-Star break, hitting .322 (37-for-115) with seven homers, 25 RBI and three steals in 31 games. It’s a massive relief for fantasy managers that he’s feeling better and managed to avoid a trip to the injured list.

No surprise following Massey’s departure from Tuesday’s contest with a possible head injury after falling down while making an excellent defensive play in the fifth inning. He’ll presumably continue to be monitored for any concussion symptoms and will get some extra time off for precautionary reasons. It’ll be speedster Tyler Tolbert taking over at second base in his absence.

No word yet on the reason for the swap. Nasim Nuñez takes over at shortstop with CJ Abrams moving to DH and José Tena getting the nod at second base.

Tovar wound up only missing one contest after suffering a left wrist strain when he attempted to make a diving catch in shallow left field during Monday’s series opener. It appears he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list, but wrist issues tend to have an adverse impact on a hitter’s on-field performance, especially from a power perspective.

Contreras has managed to play through an avalanche of physical issues without missing too much time during his Red Sox debut. It appears to be a routine day off with Nick Sogard getting a chance to handle the cold corner. He should be ready to roll for Friday’s pivotal series opener against the Yankees.

DeLauter takes a seat for the third consecutive game due to a lingering left hamstring issue. There’s zero reason for Cleveland to take any chances with an off-day looming before Friday’s series opener against the Royals. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the remainder of the week.

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz pretty much dismissed the notion that Alonso, who went 4-for-4 with his 31st homer of the season, was removed from Tuesday’s blowout win due to a minor calf issue. However, the fact that he’s at DH the following day seems to give those concerns some validity. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern, but he dealt with a similar issue a couple weeks ago. It’s a variable that fantasy managers should continue monitoring for the remainder of the week.
