  • Sitting again
    Velazquez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Velazquez has been less and less of an everyday option for the Royals as the team continues to trot out lineups with Salvador Perez as first, Vinnie Pasquantino at DH and Freddy Fermin behind the dish. Velazquez hasn't done much to warrant an everyday role after starting the season red-hot, with just one hit in his last 27 at-bats. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Pirates optioned Davis to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Davis entered the season as the Pirates' clear No. 1 catcher, but he slashed just .162/.280/.206 with a 34.9 percent strikeout rate and recently had fallen into a timeshare with Joey Bart. The Pirates will presumably keep Davis at catcher at Indianapolis, although it's possible he could be worked back into the mix in right field. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Buxton (knee) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

    Advice: Buxton was sent for an MRI after being lifted from Wednesday's contest due to an issue with his right knee, so it's not a major surprise he's not starting Friday. It remains to be seen if the 30-year-old will require a trip to the injured list with the MRI results not yet known, but the injury is a concerning development given it's the same knee in which he's undergone multiple surgeries.

  • Blue Jays option Addison Barger to Triple-A
    Blue Jays optioned SS Addison Barger to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: The 24-year-old will head down to the minors after five games with the Blue Jays where he had just one hit across 18 plate appearances. He struck out 33% of the time in his at-bats with Toronto and will continue to develop at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago

  • Blue Jays recall Nathan Lukes from Triple-A
    Blue Jays recalled OF Nathan Lukes from Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Lukes had a strong spring training with the Blue Jays going 18-for-40 (.450 AVG) and will get his opportunity with Toronto at the major league level. He’s slashed .284/.348/.432 with three homers and 13 RBI with Buffalo this season. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
     
  • Not starting Friday
    Florial is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Florial will get a rare off day against a right-handed pitcher, with Jose Ramirez filling in at DH and Gabriel Arias playing third. While he almost exclusively plays against LHP, Florial has stumbled to a .196 average and a 46.4 percent strikeout rate through 20 games played. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Receives day off
    Cowser is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Cowser will get a breather Friday as Heston Kjerstad handles left field. Through 30 games, Cowser is slashing .277/.351/.578 with six homers and three stolen bases. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Gets breather
    Palacios is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Palacios has been an everyday starter for the Rays lately with Jose Siri dealing with a suspension and Josh Lowe (hamstring) on the 10-day IL. However, the newly recalled Jonny DeLuca will fill in at center field Friday. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Rays activate Jonny DeLuca from the IL
    Rays activated Jonny DeLuca (hand) from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: DeLuca had been out since early March, but had a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham last week where he went 0-for-4 with an RBI. The 25-year-old spent the 2023 season with the Dodgers where he had an average .740 OPS across 45 plate appearances. He’ll likely make his Rays debut sometime this weekend. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago
