  • Idle against southpaw
    McMahon isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting McMahon will avoid a matchup with lefty Cristopher Sanchez on Friday. Alan Trejo will start at third and bat ninth. McMahon has homered in three of his last four games and has scored a run in eight straight outings. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned down Friday
    Urias was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma by Seattle on Friday.

    Advice: With Seattle deciding to bring back outfielder Jonatan Clase to the majors, Urias will get moved down to the their minor-league affiliate in Tacoma. Urias has a slash-line of .152/.264/.316 with 12 RBI on the season. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Rodgers back in the lineup Friday
    Brendan Rodgers is back in the Rockies lineup for Friday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Rodgers had the day off on Thursday, but came off the bench to pinch hit. He’ll back second against Phillies left-handed pitcher Christopher Sanchez. Rodgers is hitting .262 with one home run in 167 at-bats for the Rockies this year. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Friday
    Palacios is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Royals.

    Advice: Palacios started the previous four games but will sit Friday after he went 3-for-14 with a walk and a run during that stretch. Jonny DeLuca will start in right field and bat third. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Takes seat against LHP
    Bae is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Bae will defer to Michael Taylor in center field Friday with lefty Ray Kerr on the mound for Atlanta. It's likely that Bae and Taylor will platoon, with Bae landing on the strong side. Rotowire.com Today, 11:59 am

  • Braves sign Joey Wendle to one-year contract
    Braves signed INF Joey Wendle to a one-year contract.

    Advice: Wendle was released by the Mets earlier this week after hitting .222 with zero home runs in 36 at-bats. The 34-year-old wasn’t any better for the Marlins last year when he hit .212 with two home runs in 297 at-bats. He’ll serve as a backup infielder with Atlanta. Rotoworld Today, 9:45 am

  • Gets MLB deal from Atlanta
    Atlanta signed Wendle to a one-year contract Friday.

    Advice: Wendle was released by the Mets earlier this week after hitting just .222/.243/.250 in 37 plate appearances but has quickly caught on with their division rivals. The utility infielder made the All-Star team with the Rays in 2021 but has produced just a .604 OPS in three seasons since then. Wendle will back up all over the infield in Atlanta.

  • Begins rehab assignment
    Martinez (hand) went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Thursday in his first rehab game with the Arizona Complex League Guardians.

    Advice: Martinez began the season on the injured list with a right foot contusion but then suffered a fractured hamate bone six weeks ago while on a rehab assignment for the foot injury. The 22-year-old will eventually move up to a higher affiliate and is likely to be optioned to Triple-A Columbus once he's deemed ready rather than be added to the Guardians' roster.

  • Big day on offense
    Mateo went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run, a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Tigers while also drawing two walks.

    Advice: Mateo walked and stole second in his opening plate appearance before coming around to score on an Adley Rutschman single. The second baseman then broke open a 2-2 game with a three-run shot in the fourth and went on to reach base four times in the contest. The home run was Mateo's third of the season and he's now hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 7-for-22 (.318) over that stretch with four RBI, six runs scored and four stolen bases.
