  • Sitting after three straight starts
    Alexander is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Alexander had started each of the previous three games at shortstop, going 1-for-9 with one walk. He'll give way to Kevin Newman for the series finale, but the playing time at shortstop will likely tilt in Alexander's direction until Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is ready to return from the injured list.

  • Out with elbow inflammation
    The Padres placed Musgrove on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: The right-hander was expected to start Tuesday against the Cubs but will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. It's unclear when the injury surfaced for Musgrove, who struck out nine and allowed two runs over six innings his last time out versus the Cubs. Randy Vasquez was recalled in a corresponding move and could step into the rotation for San Diego. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Kicking off rehab assignment
    Brogdon (foot) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: Brogdon is ready for game action again after he was placed on the 15-day injured list April 13 due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He'll likely need at least a couple appearances in the minors before the Dodgers feel comfortable bringing him back from the IL. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Throws 39 pitches in rehab start
    Baz (elbow/oblique) gave up three earned runs on three hits and one walk in three innings Saturday during his first rehab start for Triple-A Durham. He failed to record a strikeout and built up to 39 pitches.

    Advice: He gave up a two-run home run on a changeup to Forrest Wall, which accounted for the brunt of the damage. Baz averaged 95 mph on his fastball, per Thomas Nestco of TJ Stats, and he will probably need to make several more rehab starts before rejoining the big-league rotation. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Eguy Rosario sent back to Triple-A by Padres
    Padres optioned INF Eguy Rosario to Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Rosario hasn’t seen much playing time, and the infielder will head to Triple-A to likely see more consistent at-bats. Donovan Solano is up to take Rosario’s place on the roster. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Sent to Triple-A
    Rosario was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

    Advice: Rosario hadn't made a start since April 29 and will now head down to the minors. The Padres selected the contract of Donovan Solano from El Paso in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Heading to bench
    Fairchild is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Fairchild started the past four games but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-10 with a solo homer and five strikeouts. Will Benson will shift to center field while Jake Fraley starts in right. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Sunday
    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Stephenson started the first two games of the series but will sit for the finale after going 0-for-6 with a walk. Luke Maile is catching for Nick Lodolo and batting ninth. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Shakes off groin injury
    Kelly (groin) pitched a 1-2-3 seventh inning en route to his eighth hold of the season in Friday's 4-3 win over Atlanta in 11 innings.

    Advice: Kelly tweaked his groin while fielding a grounder in his relief appearance in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks, but a few days off was apparently all he needed to overcome the issue. He returned to action Friday to gather his fourth hold in as many appearances. Though Daniel Hudson is likely first in line for save chances after closer Evan Phillips (hamstring) went on the 15-day injured list Sunday, Kelly should move up a rung in the bullpen hierarchy as well.
