  • Guardians recall prospect José Tena on Thursday
    Guardians recalled INF José Tena from Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Tena got a quick 18-game cup of coffee last year in the majors, batting .226 (7-for-31) with three RBI across 34 plate appearances. The 23-year-old infielder gets another look in the big leagues after batting .293/.341/.480 with 14 homers and 10 steals over 326 plate appearances for Triple-A Columbus. It’s unclear how long he’s going to stick around as part of Cleveland’s overcrowded infield mix. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:45 pm
     
  • Not in Thursday's lineup
    Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.

    Advice: The Guardians are opting for Gabriel Arias at shortstop in their series opener against the Royals. Rocchio has been one of the lightest-hitting regulars in baseball this season, slashing an anemic .211/.312/.299. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:00 pm
     
  • Reds option Livan Soto back to Triple-A
    Reds optioned INF Livan Soto to Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Soto heads back to the minors after a handful of contests with the Reds as a stopgap until top prospect Noelvi Marte was activated from the restricted list to make his season debut. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:50 pm

  • Up from Triple-A
    The Guardians recalled Tena from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

    Advice: Tena has spent all season in Triple-A, slashing .290/.337/.477 with 14 homers and 56 RBI across 326 plate appearances. He'll now come up from the minors to give Cleveland some additional infield depth, though he likely won't see many opportunities while in the big leagues. Will Brennan (oblique) was placed on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:45 pm
     
  • Optioned to Louisville
    The Reds optioned Soto to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: With Noelvi Marte making his return from an 80-game suspension, Soto will be pushed back into the minors. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout during his season debut Wednesday and owns a .767 OPS through 230 plate appearances in Triple-A. Should the Reds run into any more infield depth problems, there's a good chance Soto would be the one to get the call back Cincinnati. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:14 pm

  • Out again versus lefty
    Stott is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Marlins.

    Advice: He was out of the lineup Tuesday against a lefty and will also begin this one on the bench as the Marlins send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the hill. Stott did pinch hit in Tuesday's contest, so perhaps another mid-game appearance is possible. Whit Merrifield is handling second base for the Phillies on Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:48 am

  • Bryson Stott gets a day off on Thursday
    Bryson Stott is not in the Phillies’ starting lineup on Thursday.

    Advice: Stott will get a routine day off on Thursday with left-handed Trevor Rogers on the mound. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop and bat sixth with Whit Merrifield starting at 2B. Trea Turner is also at DH with Kyle Schwarber moving to left field as David Dahl sits against a lefty. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:45 am

  • Makes season debut
    Soto served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Pirates.

    Advice: Soto made his first appearance for the Reds since being recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. With Noelvi Marte (suspension) expected to be reinstated Thursday, Soto could return to Louisville. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:15 am

  • Maikel Garcia goes 0-for-4 out of leadoff spot
    Maikel Garcia went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts on Wednesday in the Royals’ win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Yikes. Garcia’s latest hitless effort leaves him with a .174 (21-for-121) batting average with zero homers and six steals over his last 30 games. It’s fair to wonder how much longer Kansas City can afford to stick with him anywhere near the top of their lineup moving forward. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:24 pm
