  • Heads to injured list
    The Marlins placed Garcia on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Advice: The veteran outfielder presumably suffered the injury Saturday against the Nationals, as he went 1-for-2 with a strikeout before being replaced by a pinch hitter. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Garcia will be sidelined until at least May 8. Dane Myers was called up in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Dane Myers recalled from Triple-A by Marlins
    Marlins recalled OF Dane Myers from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Myers will take the roster spot of Avisail Garcia after Garcia was placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain. Myers had registered just a .659 OPS in Triple-A prior to being recalled, and isn’t a recommended fantasy addition. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Avisail Garcia on IL with left hamstring strain
    Marlins placed OF Avisail Garcia on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Garcia went 1-for-2 with a strikeout in Saturday’s game against the Nationals before leaving, and he’ll miss at least a week-plus while recovering. The Marlins are recalling Dane Myers from Triple-A Jacksonville to take Garcia’s place on the active roster. Hamstring strains have a wide variety or recovery times depending on the severity, but it’s likely the 32-year-old won’t be back until the middle of May. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
     
  • Walks, scores in return
    Fraley went 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over Texas.

  • Called up Sunday
    The Marlins recalled Myers from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: The 28-year-old was unable to earn a place on Miami's Opening Day roster but will join the big club a month into the season. Myers had a poor start to the campaign at Jacksonville with a .659 OPS and 31.8 percent strikeout rate in 25 games. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Homers in win
    Benson went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Benson homered and donned the celebratory Viking helmet for the fourth time this season. He's scuffled since the middle of the month and entered Saturday's contest on a 3-for-32 (.094) stretch. Despite the struggles, Benson was recently elevated to leadoff against right-handers, but it's unclear if the experiment will continue. The lefty-hitting outfielder is 4-for-21 (.190) with a .227 on-base percentage in five games as the leadoff hitter. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Clubs sixth homer
    Stanton went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run during Saturday's 15-3 win at Milwaukee.

    Advice: The veteran slugger entered Saturday without a homer in eight straight games, but he went deep in the ninth inning against position player Owen Miller. Stanton also had an infield single in the opening frame but struck out in his other three plate appearances, which is his second game this season with three strikeouts. Even including Saturday's homer, Stanton has a .214/.290/.393 slash line over his past nine games. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
     
  • Season-high three RBI in loss
    Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Adell launched a two-out, two-run homer in his first trip to the plate to bring the Angels back within two runs of Minnesota before adding an RBI single in his next at-bat, giving him a season-high three RBI in the contest. It also marked the outfielder's first three-hit performance of the campaign and he's now tallied multiple hits in three of his last six games. He's now batting .350 in April with three homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 6:26 am
     
  • Back in lineup
    McCarthy started in right field, batted leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a walk, triple and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: McCarthy was back in the starting lineup after sitting out the previous two games and tripled home the Diamondbacks' lone run in the eighth inning. This was his first time batting atop the order, as primary leadoff hitter Ketel Marte was moved to third. With the triple, McCarthy extended a hit streak to six games, going 8-for-18 with three walks, two RBI and four runs. Rotowire.com Today, 6:24 am
