  • Brewers recall Andruw Monasterio from Triple-A
    Brewers recalled INF Andrew Monasterio from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: With Jake Bauers landing on the bereavement list on Friday, the Brewers needed some extra depth on their bench for the weekend, so Monasterio will rejoin the Brewers after being optioned out to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. Monasterio is 0-for-7 with a pair of runs scored in his limited action with the Brewers this season. Rotoworld 7 minutes ago
     
  • Hit in loss
    Lopez went 1-for-2 in a 2-1 win over Kansas City on Wednesday.

    Advice: It's been a difficult start to the season for the 29-year-old, as Lopez's slash line sits at .167/.255/.167. While he does have two hits over the last five games, the infielder has yet to tally an extra-base hit and he's been a liability on the base paths during the rare occasion that he's gotten on base, having been thrown out four times this season. The six-year veteran signed a one-year, $4.3 million contract with the White Sox this offseason, but given the team's dreary record, it wouldn't be surprising to see Lopez get ample opportunities to find his way out of this rut.

  • RBI in loss
    Farmer went 1-for-3 with an RBI in the 4-2 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

    Advice: Farmer has played in six games since Carlos Correa injured his oblique bouncing between third and shortstop over the past week. While the Twins have said the All-Star's injury is relatively minor, his return status remains unclear, which should open up opportunities for Farmer to get more at-bats. A lifetime .252 hitter, there's bound to be a bit of positive regression to the mean with the veteran averaging .097 across 38 at-bats this season. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • One walk, one run in win
    Short went 0-for-3 with one run and one walk in the 9-1 win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

    Advice: With Brett Baty out due to a hamstring injury, Short got just his second start since April. The utility infielder likely will have a spot carved out on the roster due to his versatility, and he's at least not a minus runner in the event he's able to get on base. Don't expect the 28-year-old to see much more than a spot start on occasion unless multiple members of the infield pick up injuries. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • Activated, starting Friday
    Massey (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base Friday versus the Orioles,

    Advice: The 26-year-old opened the season on the injured list due to a back strain but is back with the Royals after he posted a 1.123 OPS over an eight-game rehab assignment. Massey should split playing time at the keystone with veteran Adam Frazier. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Royals activate Michael Massey from IL
    Royals activated Michael Massey from the 10-day injured list and is batting seventh against the Orioles on Friday.

    Advice: When Nick Loftin was optioned on Thursday, the thought was that Massey was making his way back to the active roster and that is the case. The 26-year-old experienced back tightness in spring training and was rehabbing with both Double and Triple-A teams to get back to full strength. He’ll join a Royals team that is having their best 19-game start since 2021. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Rehab stint delayed
    LeMahieu (foot) won't begin his rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset as scheduled Friday after an MRI showed less healing than was hoped for, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

    Advice: The veteran infielder said he's "ready to go" but has yet to be cleared for game action. LeMahieu will take batting practice and go through infield drills over the next few days. Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday is now the target date for LeMahieu to begin the rehab assignment, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago

  • DJ LeMahieu (foot) won’t start rehab assignment
    DJ LeMahieu said team doctors don’t feel comfortable having him start a rehab assignment this week following an MRI on Thursday.

    Advice: Well this sounds a bit ominous. The 35-year-old was slated to begin a rehab assignment this week, but now will stay sidelined until the team feels he’s ready for live action. Yankees manager Aaron Boone added that the team is targeting next Tuesday as a date for him to begin his rehab assignment. LeMahieu started the season on the injured list with a fractured right foot and it looks like he’ll need more time before he’s put on the active roster. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago

  • Sits vs. lefty
    Guillorme is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Texas.

    Advice: The 29-year-old started the past two games at second base after Ozzie Albies (toe) was placed on the injured list, but the lefty-hitting Guillorme will sit Friday as southpaw Andrew Heaney pitches for the Rangers. David Fletcher will take over at the keystone and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:24 pm
