    Grissom (hamstring) went 4-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

    Advice: The Red Sox are expected to wrap up Grissom's rehab assignment and activate him for Tuesday's series opener against the Giants. While with the WooSox, Grissom went 10-for-30 with five walks, two steals and three runs scored.

  • Two hit in win
    Lowe went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

    Advice: Lowe, batting third in the order for the fifth straight game, singled in the first inning and scored on Adolis Garcia's two-run home run. The first baseman has reached base safely in all eight games since returning from a season-opening stint on the injured list due to an oblique injury. Lowe is batting .310/.375/.448 with two extra-base hits, one RBI and five runs scored. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Goes deep in loss
    Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Cronenworth doubled his first time up and then would briefly put the Padres in front with a two-run shot to right off Taijuan Walker in the third. The 30-year-old has found his bat lately with seven hits and five RBI over his last five games. For the year, he's now slashing .264/.344/.453 with four homers, 19 RBI, 14 runs and a 12:19 BB:K in 122 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 am
     
  • Two homer day in win
    Stott went 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI, three runs and a steal in Sunday's win over the Padres.

    Advice: Stott homered in each of his first two at-bats. He opened up the scoring with a two-run blast in the second and mirrored that with another two-run shot in the fourth. He later reached on a fielder's choice in the eighth and swiped second before eventually coming around to score. Stott has found his bat as of late, tallying eight RBI over his last five games, though he still seems to be stuck on the strong side of a platoon despite his career batting stats being better against lefties. For the year, the 26-year-old is now slashing .226/.295/.369 with three homers, 14 RBI, 12 runs, four steals and an 8:17 BB:K in 95 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:13 am
     
  • Clubs solo home run
    Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 3-2 in over the Mariners.

    Advice: Walker got things started with a solo blast off Logan Gilbert in the second inning to knot the game up at 1-1. He later doubled in the fourth but was left stranded. The 33-year-old slugger has notched at least a hit in five straight games while homering twice and racking up five RBI over that span. For the year, he's slashing .271/.383/.439 with five homers, 18 RBI, 21 runs and an 18:31 BB:K in 128 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:49 am
     
  • Smacks leadoff home run
    Rojas went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Rojas slid into the leadoff spot after J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the IL before the weekend. He responded with home runs Friday and Sunday with Sunday's being his very first at-bat of the game off Brandon Pfaadt. Since April 15, Rojas has at least a hit in 10 of 11 games and is off to a productive first month of the season. He's slashing .297/.366/.516 with three homers, six RBI, 10 runs and a 7:12 BB:K in 71 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:36 am

  • Plays in rehab game Sunday
    Davis (thigh/groin) started at designated hitter for Triple-A Las Vegas against Sacramento on Sunday and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run.

    Advice: Davis was given the green light to suit up Sunday after partaking in baseball activities with the Aviators on Saturday. Having apparently gotten through Sunday's contest without any issues, Davis is now slated to rejoin Oakland on Monday, when a decision on whether he'll need more rehab games or if he's ready for activation will be made.

  • Already feeling better
    Crawford (oblique) was able to field some grounders and do light jogging in the outfield before Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The activity is significant, considering Crawford was just diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain Wednesday. Crawford is still expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks, but he noted he was feeling much better Sunday than a few days prior, when he'd found it painful to even cough or make general movements.

  • Blasts two homers with Durham
    Caminero went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and three RBI on Sunday with Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Caminero was sidelined for two weeks early in the season with a quad injury. In nine games since, he's gone 11-for-36 with seven extra-base hits while striking out at a 23.1 percent clip. The Rays have had a mediocre lineup, and Jonathan Aranda (finger) is nearing a return, but Caminero should still make his way to Tampa Bay at some point in the current campaign.
