    • Pete Alonso gets first day off Monday vs. STL
      Pete Alonso is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Alonso will sit for the first time this year against right-hander Kyle Gibson and St. Louis. With the Polar Bear out of action, the Mets will start DJ Stewart and he’ll hit fourth. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:56 pm
       
    • Getting first day off
      Alonso is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

      Advice: He'll take a seat for the first time all season after recently falling into a 1-for-28 drought at the plate that has brought his slash line down to .206/.295/.420. DJ Stewart will draw the start at first base Monday, but Alonso should be back in the lineup Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:53 pm
       
    • Resumes drills
      Jones (back) did throwing and running drills ahead of Saturday's game against the Pirates, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Jones had been shut down for a few days since landing on the injured list Tuesday. Manager Bud Black acknowledged that Jones is progressing each day, and the current expectation is that he will be able to return by mid-May. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:05 am

    • Resting Saturday
      Vaughn isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Vaughn is currently enjoying a five-game hitting streak, but the White Sox will give him a breather Saturday. Gavin Sheets will man first base instead, allowing Robbie Grossman to pick up a start in right field and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:53 am
       
    • Andrew Vaughn not starting Saturday vs. STL
      Andrew Vaughn is not in the starting lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Vaughn, 26, has swung the bat much better as of late with his average rising to .196 from the .157 mark he carried on April 24. He’ll get a day off with Gavin Sheets handling first base and Robbie Grossman starting in right field. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:46 am
       
    • Moves to injured list
      The Rockies placed Jones on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 29, with a low-back strain.

      Advice: The 25-year-old was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros after his back injury flared up, and he'll be sidelined for at least the next week and a half after being diagnosed with a strain. Prospect Jordan Beck was promoted in a corresponding move and should see most of the reps in left field while Jones is sidelined. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:39 am

    • Rockies place Nolan Jones (back) on 10-day IL
      Rockies placed OF Nolan Jones on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 29, with a low back strain.

      Advice: Jones was removed from last Sunday’s game due to back tightness and now will head to the injured list until at least mid-May. The 25-year-old is slashing .170/.243/.277 through his first 26 games this season, which is definitely a disappointment for fantasy managers that drafted him expecting more of the same in 2023, but he’s hit somewhat of a sophomore slump.

    • Nolan Jones likely headed to IL with back injury
      Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports that Nolan Jones (back) is likely headed to the injured list.

      Advice: Jones was removed from Sunday’s game with stiffness in his back. The 25-year-old will be replaced on the roster by prospect Jordan Beck, with the transaction likely announced Tuesday. Jones has been a disappointment this year, and now he’ll miss at least a week while recovering from the back ailment. Rotoworld Monday, 7:39 pm

    • Likely headed to IL
      The Rockies are expected to place Jones (back) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Zahlmann notes that outfield prospect Jordan Beck is on track to receive a call-up from Triple-A Albuquerque, and given that he suffered a setback with his lingering back injury in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Astros, Jones is an obvious candidate to come off the 26-man active roster in a corresponding move. Jones has been removed from games twice within the past week due to back stiffness, so it makes sense for the Rockies to get out in front of the issue and put him on the shelf for at least the next week and a half so he can rest up and recover. After a breakout 20-20 campaign with the Rockies in 2023, Jones has struggled mightily over the first month of the 2024 season, slashing just .170/.243/.277 while contributing one home run and two stolen bases over 103 plate appearances.
