  • Cardinals taking things slow with Tommy Edman
    Cardinals’ manager Oli Marmol said Friday that the team continues to proceed cautiously with Tommy Edman (wrist).

    Advice: The 28-year-old has been hitting off of a tee from both sides of the plate, but Marmol noted that his progression will continue to be slower than most injured players’ by design. He also said that a minor league rehab assignment is not imminent. Expect the Cardinals to continue to build him up slowly with no clear timetable on when he could be ready to make his 2024 season debut. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago

  • Optioned to Las Vegas
    The Athletics optioned Allen to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

    Advice: Allen will return to the minors after slashing .171/.227/.243 across 77 plate appearances to begin the season. The 25-year-old infielder may return to Oakland if he's able to replicate his .939 Triple-A OPS from last year, but his reputation as an offensive liability in the majors could make the team hesitant to call him back up.

  • Athletics option Nick Allen to Triple-A Las Vegas
    Athletics optioned INF Nick Allen to Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder has struggled mightily at the plate this season, slashing a cringe-inducing .171/.227/.243 with one homer, three RBI, zero stolen bases and a 19/5 K/BB ratio over his first 77 plate appearances. He’ll look to get back on track at the Triple-A level. Brett Harris had his contract selected from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm

  • Activated, batting seventh in debut
    Grissom (hamstring/illness) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base Friday against the Twins.

    Advice: The 23-year-old is recovered from a bout with the flu and has joined the Red Sox a few days later than initially expected. Grissom has a career .287/.339/.407 slash line in 64 big-league games and should see plenty of playing time at the keystone for the Red Sox. Rotowire.com Today, 1:35 pm

    Advice: The 24-year-old will head down to the minors after five games with the Blue Jays where he had just one hit across 18 plate appearances. He struck out 33% of the time in his at-bats with Toronto and will continue to develop at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld Today, 12:26 pm

  • Sent back to minors
    The Blue Jays optioned Barger to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Barger struggled during his first stint in the big leagues, going just 1-for-18 with a 6:0 K:BB. He'll go back to playing every day with Buffalo while Nathan Lukes takes his spot on Toronto's roster. Rotowire.com Today, 11:51 am
