    • Still has manager's confidence
      Rosario has remained a regular in the Nationals' lineup despite his early-season struggles, and manager Dave Martinez hasn't given up on the 32-year-old, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: "It's early," Martinez said Thursday. "You've got to give him a chance, you really do. I'm not going to sit him down yet right now. He's got to go out there and play. ... I've seen him play before. This kid can hit. He can put you on his shoulders." At the moment, Rosario is handling the strong side of a platoon in right field while Lane Thomas (knee) is injured, but he's mired in an 0-for-27 slump that has sunk his slash line on the season to .086/.133/.157. Rosario has a history of slow starts, but even his xBA and xwOBA are in the bottom one percent of qualified hitters. Once Thomas gets healthy, the Nats may not be able to afford to stay patient with Rosario, especially with top prospect James Wood also making a strong case for a promotion to the majors.

    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Twins recalled Alcala from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

      Advice: He's taking the roster and bullpen spot vacated by Caleb Boushley, who was sent back to St. Paul on Thursday. Alcala never deserved to be optioned in the first place, as he has given up just one unearned run on three hits through six appearances this season. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
       
    • Cleared to resume throwing
      Smyly (hip) has been cleared to begin playing catch, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Smyly hasn't pitched in nearly two weeks because of a right hip impingement but is ready to begin ramping things back up. The left-hander seems likely to require a rehab assignment before rejoining the Cubs' bullpen. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

    • Takes seat Friday
      Ortiz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: It's the second straight game on the bench for Ortiz after making five consecutive starts, and he went 5-for-15 with five walks, three doubles, a homer and five RBI during that stretch. Oliver Dunn will receive another start at the hot corner Friday in Chicago. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

    • Swipes bag in Thursday's start
      Myers went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Rockies.

      Advice: Getting the start in left field and batting seventh against right-hander Peter Lambert, Myers led off the bottom of the fourth inning by drawing a walk and promptly swiping second base, coming around to score on a Nick Fortes single. Myers has seen regular action between all three outfield positions since being promoted in late April and has gone 5-for-11 at the plate with a steal, three runs and five RBI, and if he keeps producing he represents a threat to the playing time of the struggling Nick Gordon (.516 OPS) and Jesus Sanchez (.614 OPS).

    • Playing catch
      Wicks (forearm) has been cleared to begin playing catch, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Wicks just landed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a left forearm strain, so it would seem to be a good sign that he's already throwing again. A potential timetable for his return, however, remains up in the air. Hayden Wesneski is occupying Wicks' spot in the Cubs' rotation. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
       
    • Clubs fourth homer
      Bell went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Rockies.

      Advice: The first baseman lofted a Peter Lambert curveball over the right-field fence in the third inning, tying the game at 3-3. Bell has struggled out of the gate this season, slashing .185/.273/.306 through 33 contests with four homers, 11 RBI and 16 runs, but the streaky slugger may be heating up -- he went 4-for-12 in the three-game sweep of Colorado.

    • Twins call up Jorge Alcala from Triple-A
      Twins recalled RHP Jorge Alcala from Triple-A St. Paul.

      Advice: Alcala is back with Minnesota after he was sent down to Triple-A in mid-April. The 28-year-old has been stellar with the Twins this season as he holds a 0.00 ERA with a 9/3 K/BB ratio across 8 1/3 innings of work. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
       
    • Out of lineup again Friday
      Chourio is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: It's the first time this season that he's been held out of the lineup in consecutive games. Since April 16, Chourio is slashing just .140/.196/.233 while striking out at a rate of 38.3 percent. Jake Bauers and Sal Frelick are in the corner outfield spots for Milwaukee on Friday.
