  • Cleared to begin rehab assignment
    Hays (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hays has been working out with Bowie as he comes back from a left calf strain and is now ready to test things out in game action. With Colton Cowser's production slowing the last couple weeks, Hays could have a chance to regain more reps in left field once he's deemed ready, although they might come just against lefties initially.

  • Recalled by Oakland
    The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

    Advice: The move corresponds with Oakland placing right-hander Joe Boyle (back) on the 15-day IL. Harris has a 1-1 record over six starts in Triple-A this season with a 9.00 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 21:20 K:BB over 21 innings with Las Vegas. He appeared in 14 games with the Athletics last season, finishing with a 3-6 record while posting a 7.14 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 63 frames. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
  • Moved to IL
    The Athletics placed Boyle on the 15-day IL on Monday due to a lower back strain.

    Advice: Boyle struggled in his start Sunday against the Marlins, allowing four runs on one hit and three walks over one frame. The right-hander noted after the game that he tried to pitch through the lower back pain, but it "got progressively worse as I went on," per MLB.com. Boyle will be eligible to return for the start of the A's series against the Rockies on May 21. In a corresponding move, Oakland recalled left-hander Hogan Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas.

  • Keegan Thompson optioned to Triple-A by Cubs
    Cubs optioned RHP Keegan Thompson to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: It’s Thompson and not Ben Brown who gets booted from the roster with Justin Steele (hamstring) coming off the injured list, and Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribute notes Brown will work out of the bullpen. Thompson will head back to Triple-A and likely be up-and-down throughout the 2024 campaign. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
  • Athletics recall Hogan Harris from Las Vegas
    Athletics recalled LHP Hogan Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Harris, 27, has made six starts with the Aviators with an abhorrent 9.00 ERA and 1.95 WHIP. He takes the place of Joe Boyle after Boyle was placed on the injured list with a back injury, and while he could make starts, there’s no logical reason for adding Harris to a fantasy roster.

  • Joe Boyle placed on injured list with back strain
    Athletics placed RHP Joe Boyle on the 15-day injured list with a back strain.

    Advice: Boyle has really struggled so far in 2024, but it’ll be injury that keeps the 24-year-old from contributing in the rotation. He’ll miss at least two weeks with Hogan Harris taking his spot on the roster. Boyle can be dropped in fantasy leagues, if that hasn’t already taken place. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago

  • 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 19 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 21 minutes ago

  • Pete Alonso gets first day off Monday vs. STL
    Pete Alonso is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Alonso will sit for the first time this year against right-hander Kyle Gibson and St. Louis. With the Polar Bear out of action, the Mets will start DJ Stewart and he’ll hit fourth. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
