• Tigers designate Miguel Díaz for assignment
    Tigers designated RHP Miguel Díaz for assignment,

    Advice: Díaz didn’t end up making Detroit’s Opening Day roster and figures to pass through waivers unclaimed. It’s unclear whether he’ll stick around or wind up electing free agency. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Leaves game with lower body injury
    Jackson left in the seventh inning of Thursday's game against the Padres, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Jackson signalled for the trainer after throwing ball four to Jackson Merrill, and Ryan Walker came in to close out the seventh. Baggarly notes that Jackson appeared to tweak his hamstring or groin, and more should be known following Thursday's game. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
  • Luke Jackson leaves game Thursday with trainer
    Luke Jackson was removed from a relief appearance Thursday against the Padres with an apparent injury.

    Advice: Jackson appeared to suffer some sort of lower body injury while making an Opening Day appearance and will likely be headed for the injured list since the Giants were already going with fewer pitchers at the outset of the year. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
  • Not in Opening Day lineup
    Ruiz isn't starting Thursday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Ruiz had been losing his grip on a starting job in Oakland's outfield, and the decision to leave him off the Opening Day lineup suggests he may have officially fallen a couple spots on the depth chart. The speedy outfielder may still see a decent amount of playing time in the field to give Seth Brown, JJ Bleday or Lawrence Butler a day off, but a reduced role could bring down the amount of stolen bases he is able to tally over the course of the season.

  • Guardians add Carlos Carrasco to active roster
    Guardians selected the contract of RHP Carlos Carrasco from Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Carrasco will open the season as Cleveland’s fifth starter while Gavin Williams (elbow) is sidelined. The 37-year-old righty pitched well this spring, but doesn’t offer much appeal for fantasy managers at this stage of his career. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
  • Guardians put Trevor Stephan (elbow) on 60-day IL
    Guardians placed RHP Trevor Stephan on the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Stephan underwent right elbow surgery earlier this month and is currently without a timetable to return. The 28-year-old righty was a key contributor to Cleveland’s high-leverage mix over the last few years. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago

  • Guardians put Gavin Williams (elbow) on 15-day IL
    Guardians placed RHP Gavin Williams on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 25, with right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: As expected, Williams will open the season on the injured list and isn’t expected to start a throwing program until early April. The 24-year-old righty isn’t facing a lengthy absence, but he’s going to require at least a few weeks to build up his pitch count and stamina before making his season debut.

  • Exits with possible injury
    Kepler was removed from Thursday's game against the Royals after fouling a ball off his right leg, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Kepler initially remained in the game to finish his at-bat after getting checked out by trainers, but he was replaced once the Twins took the field in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Twins will take a look at the 31-year-old outfielder and should have more information in the near future. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
