  • Lands on injured list
    The Angels placed Adrianza on the 10-day injured list Friday with back spasms, retroactive to Thursday.

    Advice: Adrianza reported having problems with his lower back Friday, and the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. Niko Goodrum will join the active roster to take Adrianza's spot after being claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay on Thursday. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago

  • Pirates option Alika Williams to Triple-A
    Pirates optioned INF Alika Williams to Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder didn’t do much in 51 plate appearances with the big league club, slashing .239/.271/.348 with zero homers, two RBI and a 9/2 K/B ratio. He’ll continue to function as extra infield depth for the Pirates at the Triple-a level. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago

  • Pirates recall Nick Gonzales from Triple-A
    Pirates recalled INF Nick Gonzales from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: The 24-year-old infielder was punishing the baseball once again at the Triple-A level, hitting .358 (43-for-120) with four homers in his first 30 games. He’ll once again be given a shot at securing the team’s everyday job at second base. Alika Williams was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
     
  • Zack Gelof (oblique) begins rehab assignment
    Zack Gelof (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

    Advice: The dynamic 24-year-old infielder will play in games on Friday and on Sunday before being re-evaluated. If all goes well, there’s a chance that he could return to the A’s lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Astros in Houston. Before landing on the injured list, Gelof was hitting .196/.260/.337 with three homers, seven RBI and four stolen bases in 101 plate appearances. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago

  • Patrick Bailey (concussion) to return on Saturday
    Patrick Bailey (concussion) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Saturday.

    Advice: The 24-year-old backstop caught a bullpen session for Blake Snell on Friday without any issues, which was the final hurdle to clear before returning. Expect Jakson Reetz to be optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento to clear a spot on the active roster. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago
     
  • Jason Heyward (back) nearing rehab assignment
    Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Friday that Jason Heyward (back) will begin a rehab assignment at some point next week.

    Advice: The 34-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since the beginning of April due to stiffness in his back. He has been making progress in recent weeks though and is on track to return to the Dodgers’ lineup before the end of May barring any setbacks. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
     
  • Lung Hoo Lee (foot) remains out of Giants’ lineup
    Jung Hoo Lee (foot) remains out of the Giants’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: Lee also sat out Thursday’s game due to a sore foot. Giants’ skipper Bob Melvin said Friday that Lee may need an additional day off on Saturday, but that he should be able to return after that and won’t require a trip to the injured list. Let’s hope that’s the case and it doesn’t turn into an Jorge Soler (shoulder) situation. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago

  • Day off Friday
    Renfroe isn't in the Royals' lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Renfroe will get a chance to regroup Friday after going 0-for-10 across his last three games. Dairon Blanco will cover right field instead and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Jordan Beck not in Rockies’ lineup on Friday night
    Jordan Beck is not in the Rockies’ starting lineup for Friday’s matchup against the Rangers.

    Advice: It’s the first time that the 23-year-old outfielder has received a day off since his promotion from Triple-A. It’s been a rough go at the plate for him so far, hitting just .156/.156/.188 with one run scored, zero RBI and a 14/0 K/BB ratio. If things don’t improve soon, he’s likely ticketed for a return to Triple-A. Rotoworld Today, 4:00 pm
