  • Exits with injury
    Sanchez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays with an apparent hamstring injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Sanchez was grabbing at his hamstring after beating a throw to first base during the first inning, and he was quickly taken out of the game by a trainer. The severity of his injury isn't immediately apparent, but the Brewers will take a closer look at him in the clubhouse and should provide more information relatively soon.

  • Ramping up baseball work
    White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Tuesday that Robert (hip) is taking batting practice and running at 80 percent, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: The 26-year-old is about halfway through the short end of his initial recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks, and he appears to be a bit ahead of schedule. Robert could be ready to rejoin the White Sox in mid-May, but the organization is likely to remain cautious as he ramps up his baseball activities over the next couple weeks.

    Carpenter isn't in the Tigers' lineup versus the Cardinals for the last game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

  • Mike Trout to undergo left knee surgery
    Mike Trout will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Alden González.

    Advice: It’s a devastating development for the Angels, and fantasy managers, as Trout was in the midst of a remarkable renaissance campaign this season with a robust .867 OPS to accompany a major league-leading 10 home runs and six steals through 29 games. Passan and González add that the procedure isn’t expected to be season-ending. However, it appears likely that Trout is going to require an extended absence. Rotoworld Today, 3:21 pm
