- Logan Morrison (knee) will shift his rehab assignment to Double-A Jacksonville on Monday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Morrison has spent the past week with the High-A Jupiter Hammerheads, collecting three hits and one RBI in 13 at-bats. He's working his way back from September surgery to repair a torn patella tendon in his right knee and is currently aiming to join the Marlins in early June. NL-only leaguers might want to stash him now.

- Logan Morrison (knee) went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles Monday in his first rehab game with High-A Jupiter.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Morrison, who is coming back from knee surgery, served as the designated hitter. The 25-year-old is permitted to spend 20 days on his rehab assignment and will likely need most of it to shake the rust and get comfortable. However, assuming all goes well, he should join the Marlins' lineup in early June.

- Logan Morrison (knee) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter on Monday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Morrison has been playing in extended spring training games lately and hasn't had any setbacks with his surgically-repaired knee. With his 20-day rehab clock started on Monday, he'll be activated no later than early June as long as he doesn't have a setback.

- Joe Mahoney (hamstring) is expected to begin playing in rehab games Sunday at Triple-A New Orleans.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Mahoney was placed on the disabled list April 28 with a right hamstring strain. He'll beat Logan Morrison (knee) back to the Marlins' active roster but will probably be sent back to Triple-A when LoMo is deemed fully healthy. Mahoney, 26, carries no fantasy value.

- Joe Mahoney (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter this week.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Mahoney has been out since late April with a right hamstring strain. With Logan Morrison (knee) and Casey Kotchman (hamstring) also due back soon, Mahoney might be sent to Triple-A once healthy.

- Kendrys Morales went 3-for-4 with a double in the Mariners' loss to the Angels on Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: The first baseman was the only one effective against Angels' starter C.J. Wilson on Wednesday, and his line is up to .281/.362/.449 on the year. After getting his legs back under him last year in Anaheim, Morales has been relied upon in the middle of the Mariners order. He has five home runs and 21 RBI through 45 games.

- Scott Van Slyke doubled twice and knocked in two runs while starting in place of the benched Andre Ethier on Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It's rather bizarre that the Dodgers have talked about promoting Yasiel Puig or Joc Pederson when Van Slyke has three homers and now two doubles in five starts for the club. He's not a great long-term bet, but he's been on fire at the plate all year long.
Sun, May 19
- Scott Van Slyke is day-to-day after leaving Sunday's game with a leg injury.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Van Slyke fouled a pitch off his left leg and had to be removed from the game. The injury isn't considered serious and the Dodgers expect him to available for the start of Monday's three-game series with the Brewers.

- Brandon Belt is out of Wednesday's lineup due to back tightness.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It isn't a major concern, but Giants manager Bruce Bochy didn't want to take any chances. Consider him day-to-day for now. Brett Pill is filling in at first base Wednesday.

- Brandon Belt went 4-for-5 with his sixth home run of the season and four runs scored in Monday's 8-0 blowout of the Nationals.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Belt has reached base safely in 10 of his last 11 starts. Belt suffered through a forgettable April, batting .235/.287/.353, but his playing time and production have both spiked in May. Belt cut down his strikeouts and increased his rate of walks and his numbers reflect an improved approach at the plate. In May, he's slashing .250/.357/.521 with three homers over 48 at-bats.
Wed, May 22
- Mitch Moreland is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Athletics.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: He's just getting the day off. Jeff Baker will make the start at first base.

- Athletics sent 1B Daric Barton outright to Triple-A Sacramento.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Barton cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. This is actually the second time he has gone unclaimed since the end of spring training, which speaks to how far his stock has fallen in recent years. The 27-year-old batted .143 (3-for-21) in eight games with the A's and will function as minor league depth.
Sat, May 18
- Athletics designated 1B Daric Barton for assignment.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Barton is batting just .143 (3-for-21) in eight games with Oakland this season. He's doubtful to draw any interest on waivers and should return as organizational depth at Triple-A Sacramento.
Tue, May 21
- Eric Hinske is batting .188 with a .548 OPS over 34 plate-appearances.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: The Diamondbacks handed Hinske a one-year, $1.35 million contract in December after he batted just .197/.272/.311 with two home runs and 13 RBI in 91 games last season for the Braves. The former Rookie of the Year, now 35, is reaching the end of a respectable 12-year career.
Tue, May 21
- Giants recalled 1B Brett Pill from Triple-A Fresno.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Pill was just sent down to the minors over the weekend, but he's eligible to return since Ryan Vogelsong and Santiago Casilla are headed to the disabled list. The 28-year-old went 2-for-6 in his first stint with the big club and will function as a backup first baseman and right-handed bat off the bench.
Sat, May 18
- Giants optioned 1B Brett Pill to Triple-A Fresno.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Pill was called up earlier this week and went 2-for-5 with two doubles in Friday's loss to the Rockies. He'll return to a .341/.380/.675 batting line, nine home runs and 47 RBI in 32 games in the minors.
Tue, May 21
- Ty Wigginton went 0-for-2 with a walk in Monday's loss to the Padres.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: He was also caught stealing. Wigginton doesn't draw many starts, and he doesn't do much with them when he does, slashing .194/.286/.226 with no homers or steals and one RBI through 31 at-bats. St. Louis doesn't often make mistakes, but the two-year, $5 million deal they gifted Wigginton in mid-December certainly qualifies.
Mon, May 20
- Yan Gomes slugged two home runs -- including a 10th-inning walkoff -- in Monday's 10-8 defeat of the Mariners.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Gomes hit a solo shot in the bottom of the second inning and then played the hero by cranking a three-run blast in the bottom of the 10th with the Indians trailing by two. Gomes finished with four RBI and now has nine RBI in 17 games this season to go along with a cool .951 OPS. He should start seeing a bit more regular playing time.
Mon, May 20
- Reds optioned 1B Neftali Soto to Triple-A Louisville.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Soto was up in the majors for only a couple of days and saw just one plate appearance. He did not register a hit.
Sat, May 18
- Reds recalled 1B Neftali Soto from Triple-A Louisville.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Soto, 24, has shown good power potential over his seven-year minor league career and will provide corner infield depth. He was batting .269/.310/.388 with three home runs in 33 games at the Triple-A level.
Mon, May 20
- Corey Hart (knee) ran on the field and took full batting practice on Monday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It's the first time he's done so since undergoing knee surgery. Hart admitted that the running was "awkward," but he could be ready for a rehab assignment in about a week. The assignment is expected to take a while, so it will likely be well into June before Hart is activated.

- Yonder Alonso went 2-for-3 with a homer Saturday in the Padres' 2-1 win over the Nationals.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It was his first homer since May 3 and his fifth overall. In 2012, he didn't hit his first bomb until May 11 and his second until June 13, finishing with nine. He'll easily pass that number this year.
Sun, May 19
- Luke Scott belted a solo homer in Sunday's win over the Orioles.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Scott's solo blast in the fifth inning put the Rays ahead for good. The bearded designated hitter has spent a significant chunk of the season on the DL, but he's hit when healthy, batting .298 with three homers and 12 RBI.
