  • Slugs second homer in win
    Brown went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Orioles on Sunday.

    Advice: Brown opened the scoring on an eventful afternoon for both teams' bats with a 409-foot shot to center in the second inning. The round tripper snapped a 13-game homerless drought for Brown, who has left the yard just twice over 86 plate appearances after averaging a homer once every 21 trips to the batter's box over the previous three seasons.

  • Will Klein demoted to Triple-A
    Royals optioned reliever Will Klein to Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: Klein was called up late in the week after Alec Marsh was put on the injured list in order to give the Royals another bullpen arm. With Marsh’s spot in the rotation now coming up, the Royals will send Klein back down in order to call up Jonathan Bowlan for the start. Klein made one appearance with the Royals, throwing a shutout inning while striking out two. He should be back up at some point this season. Rotoworld Today, 9:15 am
     
  • Royals call-up starting pitcher Bowlan for Monday
    Royals recalled RHP Jonathan Bowlan from Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: The move was reported yesterday but is official now. Bowlan has a 2.57 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 21 innings across four minor league starts this season. He leans heavily on a four-seam fastball which doesn’t get a lot of vertical movement and could be a pitch that struggles to translate to the MLB level. If he does stick in the rotation for a short stretch, he’ll have two starts this week; however, he might be best left on the wire for now. Will Klein was optioned to Omaha in a corresponding move.

  • Leaves yard in win
    Nevin went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run in a win over the Orioles on Sunday.

    Advice: Nevin proved key to the Athletics' late-game rally with his seventh-inning solo shot, inching Oakland to within a run at the time. It was Nevin's second time leaving the yard in his last four games, and he extended his hitting streak to six games in the process. The 26-year-old has served as one of the most reliable bats in a highly inconsistent A's offense, now sporting a .286/.342/.400 slash line through 76 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:13 am

  • Sent back to minors
    The Royals optioned Klein to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

    Advice: Klein struck out two in a scoreless inning Sunday versus the Tigers in what was his major-league debut. He eventually has a chance to play an important role in the Royals bullpen this season, but for now Klein, will head back to Omaha to make room for Monday's starter, Jonathan Bowlan, who was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Called up for Monday's start
    The Royals recalled Bowlan from Triple-A Omaha ahead of his scheduled start Monday in Toronto.

    Advice: Kansas City optioned right-handed reliever Will Klein to Triple-A to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Bowlan, who will be joining the rotation as a replacement for the injured Alec Marsh (elbow). Bowlan had covered at least five innings in each of his last three starts with Omaha and owns a 2.57 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB across 21 frames at the Triple-A level for the season.

  • Cooper activated to Red Sox roster
    Red Sox activated 1B Garrett Cooper to their active roster.

    Advice: Cooper was acquired from the Cubs for cash over the weekend and looks likely to make his Red Sox debut on Tuesday. The Red Sox were interested in signing Cooper as a free agent in the offseason and then after Triston Casas went down with an injury, their interest became even more intense. Cooper was having a solid start to the regular season in Chicago, slashing .270/.341/.432 with a homer and six RBI. There’s a good chance that he is the everyday first baseman in Boston until Casas returns in two or more months. Pablo Reyes was designated for assignment to make room for Cooper.

  • Pablo Reyes designated for assignment
    Red Sox have designated INF Pablo Reyes for assignment.

    Advice: The Red Sox needed to make a move to the active roster in order to make room for recently acquired Garrett Cooper. With Ceddanne Rafaela now a full-time infielder and Vaughn Grissom on his way back from the injured list, Reyes was less needed in Boston. The 30-year-old is hitting .183/.234/.217 in 64 plate appearances with five RBI and one steal. There is a chance that he latches on with somebody else as versatile infield depth.

  • Exits 40-man roster
    The Red Sox designated Reyes for assignment Monday.

    Advice: Boston needed to clear a spot on their 26-man active roster and 40-man roster for first baseman/designated hitter Garrett Cooper, and Reyes ended up being the casualty. Reyes slashed a solid .287/.339/.377 for Boston last season but has managed just a .183/.234/.217 batting line over 61 plate appearances in 2024. Teams are always looking for versatile players, so even with his poor start, Reyes could draw some interest via trade or waivers. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 am
