There’s an avenue for Barrero to make it to Baltimore’s injury-depleted bench mix at some point in the coming weeks with utility specialist Jorge Mateo facing a two-month absence due to a hamstring strain. The 27-year-old elected free agency over the weekend after being jettisoned from St. Louis’ 40-man roster and passing through waivers unclaimed.

The Westburg situation is extremely frustrating for fantasy managers since it sounds like he’s dead-set against going on the injured list and will need to manage the ongoing left index finger issue for the remainder of the year. He’ll sit out on Wednesday night for the fifth straight contest and eighth time in Baltimore’s last 10 games overall. It’ll be Ramón Urías continuing to handle the hot corner in his absence.

Bowman is no stranger to hitting the waiver wire, and the 34-year-old will be on that market again with the Orioles selecting the contract of Corbin Martin to take his place. If Bowman goes unclaimed, he can either report to Triple-A Norfolk, or he can look for a new club via free agency.

It’ll be Cody Bellinger taking over in center field on Wednesday evening with Grisham sitting out his second straight contest following an early exit from Monday’s series opener with left hamstring tightness. The 28-year-old outfielder remains day-to-day.

He’s now up to 28 steals on the season to go along with 15 home runs, which is propping up his fantasy value that would otherwise be torpedoed by a .210/.322/.416 slash line. The 26-year-old has been disciplined a few times this year for a lack of hustle, and his defense has not shown signs of improvement in center field. Given his poor defense and clear frustration, it might make sense for the Pirates to see what they can get for a talented player with major contact concerns. In the meantime, fantasy managers should continue to put Cruz in their lineup if they need stolen bases, but if you’re doing well in that category, you could also explore trading or benching Cruz.

McCarthy took Hayden Birdsong deep for a three-run homer in the fourth inning to give the Diamondbacks the lead. He now has a hit in six straight games since he was recalled from Triple-A. The 27-year-old outfielder has started every game at right field over the last week in Corbin Carroll’s absence.
