• Austin Hays starting rehab assignment Tuesday
    Austin Hays (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday.

    Advice: Hays has made steady progress from his calf strain that has had him on the shelf since April 22, and now he’ll get a chance to face minor-league pitching. The outfielder will likely need around five-plus games before he could rejoin the Orioles in the middle of May. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Rays designate Niko Goodrum for assignment
    Rays designated INF Niko Goodrum for assignment.

    Advice: Goodrum is now off the 40-man roster. The infielder went just 4-for-37 before being optioned down to Triple-A by the Rays on Friday. The 32-year-old could see interest on the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed, he will have the option to elect free agency if he so chooses. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago

  • Absent from lineup
    Bader is not in the lineup for Monday's game in St. Louis.

    Advice: He'll begin this one on the bench while Brandon Nimmo slides over to center field, Jeff McNeil plays left and Joey Wendle handles second base. Bader is batting .278 this season but has managed just three extra-base hits. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Moves to bench with lefty starting
    Sheets is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Sheets had started in each of the White Sox's last eight games, but he'll retreat to the bench Monday with southpaw Tyler Alexander taking the hill for Tampa Bay. Robbie Grossman will spell Sheets in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 1:08 pm
     
  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Cardinals transferred Edman (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    Advice: Edman has been on the IL all season while working his way back from October surgery on his right wrist. The 28-year-old has resumed taking swings from both sides of the plate without incident, but since he has yet to be cleared for full baseball activities, the expectation was that he would still need at least a few more weeks to finish up his rehab program. With that in mind, Edman's move to the 60-day IL doesn't come as surprise, and his potential timeline for a return won't be dramatically affected as a result. He won't be eligible to make his 2024 Cardinals debut until May 24. Rotowire.com Today, 12:47 pm

  • Taking seat Monday
    Isbel is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Cleveland.

    Advice: The left-handed-hitting Isbel will take a seat against Milwaukee right-hander Bryse Wilson while Dairon Blanco gets the start in center field. Isbel had started each of the last 13 contests when the Royals faced a right-hander. Rotowire.com Today, 12:42 pm
     
  • Absent from lineup again
    Velazquez is out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Brewers.

    Advice: It's the second straight day on the bench for Velazquez, who is in a 2-for-32 tailspin at the plate. He served as a pinch-hitter in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers and will be available off the bench Monday. Adam Frazier will serve as the Royals' designated hitter, and Kansas City could continue to rotate a number of players at that spot in the lineup while Velazquez has seemingly lost hold of an everyday role.
