Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker (abdomen) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. This marks the second game in a row that Rooker has missed after exiting early during Sunday's game. It appears the organization believes this is a day-to-day issue. That being said, Rooker should avoid a trip to the injured list and return at some point this week. In the meantime, Abraham Toro will leadoff and serve as the designated hitter versus left-handed Cody Bradford on Wednesday.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Edouard Julien put together a strong performance versus the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Julien blasted a leadoff home run to kick off the bottom of the first inning. He later homered again in the fifth inning to give the Twins a 3-2 lead. The score would hold as Julien provided most of the offense in this victory. Outside of this performance Julian has struggled this season, so hopefully this game will help him get back on track.

Oakland Athletics first baseman Ryan Noda (hand) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. The left-handed slugger was scratched ahead of Tuesday's game due to a hand issue. In his absence, J.D. Davis will cover first base and bat third versus left-hander Cody Bradford. Davis doesn't offer great fantasy value given the lack of talent around him.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The rookie outfielder has started in each of the team's first 11 games of the season. Langford is slashing .261/.314/.326 with six RBI through 51 plate appearances. Travis Jankowski will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth versus right-hander Ross Stripling on Wednesday.

Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Robert Gasser (elbow), who has been sidelined with bone spurs in his left elbow, is scheduled to throw two innings in an extended spring training game this Saturday. The club's No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, will begin building back up and should eventually be sent to Triple-A Nashville. Gasser had a 3.09 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 115 strikeouts in his final 93 1/3 innings for Nashville in 2023 and should at least be a backend starter for the Brew Crew eventually at the major-league level, potentially later this season. He uses a fastball-sinker combination to set up his nasty slider, and he's been able to put up solid strikeout numbers in the minors thanks to his good control. Gasser has the stuff to warrant stashing in AL-only leagues for a potential big-league debut later in 2024.
