  • 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 6 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 7 minutes ago
     
  • Rehab assignment 7-to-10 days away
    Reds manager David Bell said Friday that Friedl (wrist) could be about 7-to-10 days away from beginning a rehab assignment, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Friedl has been building up strength in his fractured right wrist and ramping up his activity level. Things are going well so far and if he continues on the same pace it sounds like he could be cleared for games before the end of the month. While there's no timetable yet for his return to the active roster, Friedl makes for a viable stash if you have a free IL spot. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • Bell: Freidl could begin rehab assignment soon
    Reds manager David Bell told reporters that TJ Friedl (wrist) could be 10-14 days away from a rehab assignment if all stays on track.

    Advice: The 28-year-old outfielder was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to the regular season, but this is good news for fantasy managers that are hoping he can get back onto the field around early May. Friedl was diagnosed with a fractured right wrist in mid March and hopes to follow up a career-best 2023 season when he slashed .279/.352/.467 with 18 homers, 66 RBI and 27 stolen bases across 556 plate appearances.

  • 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 14 minutes ago

  • Out again against righty
    Ruiz is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Cleveland.

    Advice: In four games since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, Ruiz has started once against a left-hander but has been on the bench all three times the Athletics have faced a righty. Ruiz's speed upside warrants him being held in deeper leagues in case he starts playing more, but it's clear Oakland plans for him to be a short-side platoon player at this point.

  • 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 19 minutes ago

    Advice: Davis gets the call up after the Rockies placed Kyle Freeland on the 15-day injured list. The 26-year-old has made four starts this season at the Triple-A level posting a 6.62 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and a 21/10 K/BB ratio across 17 2/3 innings. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
