    • Braves option Williams to Triple-A
      Braves optioned INF Luke Williams to Triple-A Gwinnett.

      Advice: Williams was optioned to make room for the newly signed Joey Wendle. Serving as infield depth with Atlanta, he appeared in just seven games this season. Now he’ll serve as organizational depth in the minors. Rotoworld 54 minutes ago
       
    • 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 59 minutes ago
       
    • Goes yard in win
      Santander went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-6 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Santander's homer was his eighth of the season and first since May 11. He's been battling a bruised knee over the last week, which could explain his 2-for-20 run at the plate over his last five games. The outfielder is slashing .206/.280/.424 with 27 RBI, 23 runs scored, 11 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 189 plate appearances. Aside from the knee issue and the occasional rest day, he's been a regular in the Orioles' lineup as the team's starter in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 9:39 am
       
    • On cusp of rehab assignment
      Langford (hamstring) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as Friday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: The 22-year-old has been sidelined nearly three weeks by a strained hamstring but is in the latter stages of his rehab program. Assuming Langford is able to get in a couple games this weekend, he could rejoin the Rangers for the upcoming two-game series versus the Diamondbacks, which begins Tuesday.

    • Game-tying homer Thursday
      Bleday went 1-for-6 with a game-tying two-run home run in an extra-innings win over the Rockies on Thursday.

      Advice: Bleday stepped to the plate in the 11th with the Athletics already having cut a four-point inning-opening deficit in half, and he delivered with a 409-foot shot to center with Abraham Toro aboard to knot the score at 9-9. It was the second consecutive game in which Bleday left the yard, and the clutch homer also extended the outfielder's hitting streak to six games. Bleday has impressively laced 23 of his 44 hits for extra bases this season, and all three components of his .243/.315/.459 slash line are easily career bests. Rotowire.com Today, 9:29 am
       
    • Sent to Triple-A
      Atlanta optioned Williams to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

      Advice: The 27-year-old had his contract selected by Atlanta in mid-April, but he tallied just four plate appearances during his month with the big club. Joey Wendle was signed to a major-league contract Friday and is taking Williams' place on the roster. Rotowire.com Today, 9:28 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.

    • Pops another homer Thursday
      Davis went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run in an extra-innings win over the Rockies on Thursday.

      Advice: Davis gave the Athletics' first rally a serious boost in the eighth inning when he left the yard with Seth Brown aboard and Oakland down by three. Half of Davis' four homers on the season have come in the last three games, and with hits in each of those contests, he's pushed his OPS (.618) to its highest point since May 8.

    • Might lose roster spot
      Meneses could be optioned to Triple-A Rochester when Lane Thomas (knee) is ready to come off the injured list, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

      Advice: The 32-year-old has been an everyday player for the Nationals this season between first base and DH, but he's managed just a .234/.299/.299 slash line in 43 games with two homers and 24 RBI. Victor Robles is the more likely candidate to get booted from the 26-man roster to make room for Thomas, but Robles is out of minor-league options and would have to be exposed to waivers, while Meneses could be optioned to Triple-A without any risk of losing him. Jesse Winker would likely become the primary DH in that scenario. Rotowire.com Today, 8:05 am
