  • Profar has two-hit game Monday
    Jurickson Profar went 2-for-4 against the Braves on Monday.



    Advice: It was a quiet night for the Padres offense as they were shutout, but Profar’s hot hitting continued. He’s up to .339 with .944 OPS on the season. Once the top prospect in all of baseball, Profar is enjoying easily his best season in his 11th year in the major leagues.

  • Sent to Triple-A
    Mastrobuoni was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, per MLB's transaction log.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni went 0-for-10 at the dish over his last three games, and he'll be demoted to the minors now that Dansby Swanson (knee) is ready to be activated from the 10-day IL and Luiz Vasquez is ready to get a shot with the big-league club. Mastrobuoni will likely be seen again in the majors this season considering his versatility. Rotowire.com Today, 5:12 pm

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    Crow-Armstrong was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday.

    Advice: Crow-Armstrong will return to Iowa after joining the major-league roster in late April, batting .236 with one home run, nine RBI, four runs scored and five stolen bases over 55 at-bats in 23 contests. The 22-year-old had been struggling to find consistent playing time in Chicago's lineup recently and he'll now see some extended run once again at Triple-A. Rotowire.com Today, 5:11 pm
     
  • Cubs option Mastrobuoni to Triple-A
    Cubs optioned INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni had been filling in at shortstop for Dansby Swanson of late, but he was just 5-for-40 in his 19 games. He’s a career .212/.284/.259 hitter in 211 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 4:44 pm

  • Cubs demote Pete Crow-Armstrong to Triple-A
    Cubs optioned OF Pete Crow-Armstrong to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: It’s nothing Crow-Armstrong did wrong, but the Cubs don’t want a 22-year-old top prospect sitting on the bench as often as Crow-Armstrong was going to now that Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki are healthy. PCA hit .236/.295/.364 in 63 plate appearances and graded out very well defensively in center during his four weeks in the majors. Rotoworld Today, 4:42 pm
     
  • Starling Marte tossed for arguing third strike
    Starling Marte was ejected from Monday’s game in the fourth inning for arguing balls and strikes.

    Advice: Marte couldn’t let it go after being (correctly) called out to end the top of the fourth and was tossed as he was beginning to walk out to right field for the bottom of the inning. Tyrone Taylor replaced him versus the Guardians. Rotoworld Today, 4:08 pm
     
  • Andrew Benintendi goes hitless in loss to Jays
    After taking a seat Sunday, Andrew Benintendi went 0-for-4 as the White Sox’s No. 5 hitter Monday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Benintendi really set the tone for the day when he went out of the strike zone and tapped into a double play on a 1-0 pitch from Jose Berríos in the second inning. The White Sox collectively went 4-for-5 against Berríos that inning, yet they wound up with only one run. Benintendi also made a half-hearted slide attempt at a flyball in the second to give Bo Bichette a double and, later in the game, allowed Bichette to tag up and go from second to third without a throw on a 320-foot fly to left-center. At this point, Benintendi belongs on the injured list or in the minors. The White Sox will keep playing him, though. Rotoworld Today, 3:39 pm
     
  • Brewers bring back Joey Wiemer from injured list
    Brewers activated OF Joey Wiemer from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Wiemer missed 16 days with left knee soreness. The Brewers could have just sent him down, as he wasn’t playing well before getting hurt, but they’ve instead decided to go with him over Chris Roller. He’ll likely play against lefties and come off the bench versus righties. He’s starting in center field and batting ninth tonight against Ryan Weathers. Rotoworld Today, 3:03 pm
