  • Will not start Wednesday
    Puk (illness) will not start as hoped Wednesday against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: Puk was pushed back from Monday to Wednesday due to illness and he remains under the weather. Trevor Rogers will move up a day to start Wednesday on regular rest. It's not yet clear when Puk might be ready to take the ball next, but the Marlins have an opening Thursday versus the Cubs that they probably are hoping he'll feel well enough to fill.

  • Continues hot stretch
    Rendon went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs in Monday's 7-3 victory versus the Rays.

    Advice: Rendon notched his fourth straight multi-hit game Monday, and he's now batting .263 on the season. That's an impressive climb considering that the veteran third baseman began the campaign hitless through his first 21 at-bats. Rendon is batting a robust .480 over his past six contests, and he's reached base via hit or walk in nine consecutive games. However, his role as the Angels' leadoff hitter has limited his run-production opportunities -- on the season, he has just one RBI. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Guardians option Peter Strzelecki to Triple-A
    Guardians optioned RHP Peter Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Strzelecki was shipped back to the minors on Monday to make room for swingman Xzavion Curry to come off the injured list for his season debut. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
     
  • Guardians activate Xzavion Curry on Monday
    Guardians activated RHP Xzavion Curry from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Curry made his season debut on Monday night, tossing five shutout frames against the Red Sox in a spot start. The 25-year-old righty figures to serve as a swingman for Cleveland moving forward. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Santana is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore.

    Advice: Alex Kirilloff will get the nod at first base while Santana takes a seat. It's the second day off of the season for Santana, who is slashing an ugly .135/.224/.154 over his first 14 contests. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Held out again with illness
    Rodgers (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Philadelphia.

    Advice: Rodgers was a late scratch from Monday's lineup due to illness and still isn't feeling up to playing. Alan Trejo will again filling in at second base for the Rockies. Trejo went 1-for-3 at the plate in Monday's loss to the Phillies. Rotowire.com Today, 10:42 am
     
  • Remains out of lineup
    Bryant (back/ribs) remained out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: It's the third straight start Bryant has missed after he had to be removed from Saturday's game versus the Blue Jays due to soreness in his right ribcage and back. The Rockies will roll with Charlie Blackmon at designated hitter, Elehuris Montero at first base and Michael Toglia in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 10:40 am

  • Begins throwing progression
    Manager Dave Roberts said that Graterol (shoulder) threw a "good" bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Graterol won't be available until around mid-May after the Dodgers initially placed him on the 15-day injured list March 19 before later transferring him to the 60-day IL, but the fact that the right-hander is already in the midst of a throwing progression suggests he should be ready to go around the time he's first eligible to return. He'll likely continue the ramp-up process with multiple bullpen sessions and live batting practice sessions over the next couple of weeks before perhaps heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment later this month or in early May.

  • Receives second straight start
    Soriano is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Even though he was touched up for four earned runs on six hits in just four innings in his first MLB start last Wednesday against the Rays, Soriano's 6:0 K:BB and eight swinging strikes on 72 pitches were encouraging. He'll get another crack at Tampa Bay in his second turn through the rotation, this time at Tropicana Field after the prior outing came at Angel Stadium. The 25-year-old could hold down a spot in the Anaheim rotation until Chase Silseth (elbow) is ready to return from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 9:51 am
