  • 68-34-8 1st Place
    • Claimed by Mets
      The Mets claimed Ellis off waivers from the White Sox on Friday and optioned him to Double-A Binghamton, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Ellis got a cup of coffee with the White Sox this season and has slashed just .258/.341/.308 at the Double-A level, which is especially underwhelming when you consider his age (26). He's fast and can play defense, though, which was enough to pique the Mets' interest. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

    • Released by Miami
      The Marlins released Smith on Thursday.

      Advice: Smith predictably cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now free to sign on with a new organization. The right-hander posted a 4.25 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 29.2 innings for the Marlins. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
       
    • Not in Friday's lineup
      Marte is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

      Advice: Marte served as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter Thursday and is now out of their lineup altogether, although there's no indication at this point that this is anything other than a routine day off. Blaze Alexander is handling second base Friday. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
       
    • Four hits in loss
      Bailey went 4-for-5 in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Bailey is 14-for-37 (.378) over his last 10 games, and the lone contest in that span in which he failed to log a hit was one where he appeared off the bench. While the catcher is making consistent contact, it hasn't been particularly powerful -- he has just two extra-base hits in that span. Overall, he's at a .299/.367/.439 slash line with five homers, two stolen bases, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and eight doubles through 50 contests. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
       
    • Cardinals option Adam Kloffenstein Friday
      Cardinals optioned RHP Adam Kloffenstein to Triple-A Memphis.

      Advice: Kloffenstein was the corresponding move for the activation of Giovanny Gallegos from the injured list. The 23-year-old right-hander will return to the minors after tossing a scoreless inning in his first major league appearance on Thursday. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago
       
    • Smacks 10th homer
      Ramos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: The outfielder has been on a power surge with four homers over his last seven games, and he's added 11 RBI in that span. Ramos leads the Giants with 10 long balls this season, and every other player on the team with at least five homers has played in a minimum of 50 games compared to his 39. Ramos has added a .307/.382/.553 slash line with 35 RBI, 17 runs scored, one stolen base and seven doubles across 170 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
       
    • Cardinals activated RHP Giovanny Gallegos from IL
      Cardinals activated RHP Giovanny Gallegos from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: Gallegos has been out since early May with shoulder trouble. He’s been a steady reliever for St. Louis over the last few seasons and sometimes even an option for saves. Gallegos has recorded at least 10 saves in each of the last three years, though that’s unlikely to continue this season. He has a 12.00 ERA and SO:BB of 13:7 in 13 appearances with the Cardinals this year. Rotoworld 53 minutes ago
       
    • Lifts 12th homer
      Witt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

      Advice: Witt provided the Royals' margin of victory with his eighth-inning blast. He's had an incredible June, hitting safely in 16 of 17 games. He's batting .347 with a .937 OPS, three home runs and five steals this month. That's even a little better than his season-long .322/.371/.550 slash line with 12 homers, 21 steals, 53 RBI and 60 runs scored through 76 contests. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
       
    • Returns to Triple-A
      The Cardinals optioned Scott to Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: The 23-year-old was called up to serve as the 27th man for Thursday's game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, and he'll head back to Memphis after appearing as a defensive replacement. Scott has a .550 OPS in 45 games at Triple-A since being demoted in late April. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
