  • Yankees option Taylor Trammell to Triple-A
    Yankees optioned OF Taylor Trammell to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Trammell cleared waivers without a team picking him up, so the 26-year-old will head down to the minors. The Yankees claimed Trammell off waivers from the Dodgers a few weeks ago and went 1-for-2 with a single, a walk and a run in his five appearances with New York. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • On bench again
    Cabrera is out of the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Cabrera will be available off the bench for a second straight game after making 22 straight starts at third base. Instead, Jon Berti will man the hot corner and bat ninth against Houston. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Reds option Bubba Thompson to Double-A
    Reds optioned OF Bubba Thompson to Double-A Chattanooga.

    Advice: Thompson struggled while with Cincinnati this season slashing just .111/.111/.167 with only two hits across his 18 plate appearances. He’ll head down to the Double-A level for the first time since 2021 to try and get going offensively. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Reds option Nick Martini to Triple-A
    Reds optioned INF/OF Nick Martini to Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Martini had a strong spring training and with the injuries to Matt McLain and TJ Friedl, he was able to land a spot as a reserve outfielder to start the 2024 season. However, with the return of Friedl, Martini will head down to the minors after making 86 plate appearances with the Reds this season with three homers and 15 RBI. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Reds activate TJ Friedl (wrist) from 10-day IL
    Reds activated OF TJ Friedl (wrist) from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Fantasy managers that held onto Friedl, today is the day. The 28-year-old, who had a breakout season in 2023 with 18 homers and 66 RBI while slashing .279/.352/.467, returns to the Reds’ lineup after being on the injured list since the start of the season. He’ll be a major plus to the Reds offense and fantasy managers who have him rostered, but expectations may want to be simmered for at least the first few days as he gets back to major league speed.

  • Sent packing to minors
    The Reds optioned Thompson to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

    Advice: Thompson has been on the Reds' roster since Opening Day but has hardly played, accumulating just 18 plate appearances. He should receive more reps at Louisville. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Reds optioned Martini to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

    Advice: Martini was the Reds' Opening Day designated hitter and hit two home runs that day, but he slashed only .160/.185/.240 in 28 games after that. The 33-year-old had seen his playing time dwindle and it was going to further evaporate with TJ Friedl off the injured list. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Officially activated
    Friedl (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.

    Advice: Friedl has been cleared for big-league action after missing the first month and change of the 2024 campaign with a fractured right wrist. His reinstatement aligns with the start of a three-game homestand against the Diamondbacks, where he'll likely replace Stuart Fairchild as the Reds' primary center fielder versus right-handed pitching. In four rehab starts at Triple-A Louisville, Friedl went 4-for-16 (.250) with three doubles, three runs scored and a pair of RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 11:07 am
     
  • Resumes hitting
    Diaz (calf) has resumed taking batting practice but is not yet running the bases, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The veteran began a light running program in mid-April, but as this latest report indicates, he hasn't progressed to carrying it out fully just yet. The fact Diaz is back to swinging a bat is certainly a positive, however, yet he appears to be at least a month away from his season debut given the expected length of the rehab assignment he'll require.
