  • Rehab stint on tap
    Manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that McCormick (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The 29-year-old landed on the injured list with hamstring soreness last week, and he is now on the cusp of returning to game action. McCormick will likely only need a few games in the minors to get back up to speed due to the brevity of the absence, though he could use a few extra at-bats given his .603 OPS through 21 games.

  • Getting day off
    Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Castro will get a breather for the first time since April 15, ending a streak of 20 consecutive starts at four different positions (shortstop, third base, left field and center field). Third base and center field will likely be Castro's primary homes for the foreseeable future while Royce Lewis (quadricep) and Byron Buxton (knee) remain on the injured list.

  • Red Sox activate Romy Gonzalez from 10-day IL
    Red Sox activated INF/OF Romy Gonzalez from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The versatile 27-year-old has been shelved since April 11 due to a left wrist sprain. Before he was sidelined, Gonzalez had been just 1-for-4 (.250) with a walk and a strikeout in two games played with the Red Sox. He’ll add depth and versatility to the team’s bench and can safely be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

  • Michael Lorenzen hit hard in loss to A’s
    Michael Lorenzen was lit up for six runs over six innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: Lorenzen took the ball for the opening contest of Wednesday’s twin bill at Oakland Coliseum and turned in an absolute clunker. He was tagged for nine hits, including homers from Shea Langeliers and Brett Harris, before his calamitous outing came to a close. He finished with six strikeouts and only handed out a pair of free passes. He’ll being an inflated 4.66 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 23/14 K/BB ratio across 29 innings (five starts) into a home matchup on Tuesday against the Guardians. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Up in big leagues
    The Giants recalled Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old has a .953 OPS in 30 games for Sacramento this season and will now receive a look in the big leagues as Jorge Soler (shoulder) lands on the injured list. Ramos has a career .470 OPS in the majors, but he's played in just 34 games and has never received an extended run of playing time. He's batting seventh as the designated hitter Wednesday against the Rockies. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Giants recall Heliot Ramos from Triple-A
    Giants recalled OF Heliot Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: He’ll take the place of the injured Jorge Soler (shoulder) on the Giants’ active roster. The 24-year-old outfielder has always struggled in his opportunities with the big league club, but he was off to a terrific start at Triple-A — slashing .296/.388/.565 with eight homers, 21 RBI and a pair of stolen bases in his first 30 games.

  • Giants finally place Jorge Soler (shoulder) on IL
    Giants placed OF Jorge Soler on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 5, with a right shoulder strain.

    Advice: The Giants had been taking things day-to-day with their 32-year-old slugger — who has been shelved since last weekend due to soreness in his right shoulder — but on Wednesday they felt it was time to throw in the towel and sit him down rather than playing short-handed any longer. It’s a tough break for fantasy managers in weekly leagues, who may have chanced starting him for that juicy series at Coors Field. Heliot Ramos was recalled in a corresponding move.

  • Lands on injured list
    The Giants placed Soler on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder strain, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Soler's shoulder has caused him to miss the last three games, and he'll now officially be sidelined for another several days. The move is retroactive to Sunday, so it's possible the 32-year-old slugger is able to return in a week, but the Giants will wait and see how his shoulder heals. Heliot Ramos was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
