  • Out with fractured toe
    Atlanta placed Albies on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured right great toe.

    Advice: Albies suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch Monday against the Astros, and he had a noticeable limp after the game. The 27-year-old will now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days, but the absence could be longer depending how the toe heals. Luis Guillorme and David Fletcher, who was added to the major-league roster Tuesday, are likely to see time at second base while Albies is out. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Designated for assignment
    White was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

    Advice: White had permitted six earned runs with a 6:4 K:BB across 10 innings in a long relief role for the Jays. The 29-year-old holds just a career 4.99 ERA over 62 appearances (22 starts) at the big-league level, but with an ability to serve as rotation and/or bullpen depth, it's possible there will be some interest via trade or waivers.

  • Braves place Ozzie Albies (toe) on 10-day IL
    Braves placed Ozzie Albies (toe) on the 10-day injured list with a right toe fracture.

    Advice: Wow. The hits keep on coming for Atlanta. Albies was hit by a pitch in the second inning on Monday and played the rest of the game, but was dealing with pain into Tuesday morning. Test results determined a fractured big toe for the second baseman. The 27-year-old was having a terrific start to the season with 14 RBI in his 15 games played and was slashing a career-best .878 OPS in his 70 plate appearances. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Sent down to minors
    Pearson was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

    Advice: This is simply a case of Pearson having options left working against him, as he's been outstanding this season with a 9:3 K:BB over 6.1 shutout innings out of Toronto's bullpen. He will be back soon enough. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Kerry Carpenter delivers triple, double in victory
    Kerry Carpenter tripled and doubled before being lifted for a pinch-hitter Tuesday as the Tigers topped the Rangers 4-2.

    Advice: The move to pull Carpenter against a lefty reliever in a tie game in the eighth worked out. Matt Vierling came in and blooped a single into right (he actually thought he popped up the ball in the infield), and the Tigers went on to score twice in the inning. Carpenter is hitting .302/.362/.558 in 48 plate appearances this season. It sounded like the plan going in was for him to see some action against lefties this year, but he has just two plate appearances against them. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Casey Mize solid for six in no-decision
    Casey Mize pitched six innings of two-run ball in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Tuesday.

    Advice: Mize averaged 96.7 mph with his fastball seven days ago, but he didn’t have that kind of stuff today, averaging 94.7 mph and settling for seven missed swings in the 95-pitch outing. Fortunately, he was largely effective anyway, mostly because Casey Seager kept just missing; Seager hit 394-, 385- and 366-foot flies against Mize, but they all turned into outs. Mize will face the Twins next. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago

  • Jason Foley records two-out save versus Rangers
    Jason Foley got two outs for his fifth save Tuesday against the Rangers.

    Advice: It’s already his third save of less than three outs. Usually those are by accident when someone else falters, but it’s been by design in Detroit, as A.J. Hinch has taken advantage of lefty-lefty matchups when they present themselves at the beginning of the ninth. Andrew Chafin got four outs in the eighth and ninth today before Foley finished the game off. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Jon Gray strikes out seven against Tigers
    Jon Gray yielded two runs — one earned — in six innings and fanned seven Tuesday against the Tigers.

    Advice: Gray limited the Tigers to three hits and induced 16 missed swings. He probably would have gotten through six scoreless if Leody Taveras, perhaps discouraged by the wall in center, hadn’t come up just a little short on Kerry Carpenter’s triple in the second and had Evan Carter not misplayed a grounder to right in the sixth.

  • Parker Meadows finishes hitless against Rangers
    After sitting out two of the previous three games, Parker Meadows finished 0-for-3 with a strikeout against the Rangers on Tuesday.

    Advice: Meadows sat out those two games even though he’s a lefty and the Tigers were facing righties. He’s now 2-for-36 to start the year, and he has the horrible exit velocity numbers to back it up. The Tigers might need to send him back to Triple-A for a spell so that he can regain some confidence. If they go that route, possibly when Andy Ibáñez comes off the IL, then Wenceel Pérez and Matt Vierling would play center. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
