  • Pirates summoning Nick Gonzales on Friday
    The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Andrew Destin reports the Pirates will promote infielder Nick Gonzalez on Friday.

    Advice: Gonzales will get the call back to the majors after batting .358 (43-for-120) with four homers in 137 plate appearances over 30 games this season for Triple-A Indianapolis. The 24-year-old middle infielder got into 35 contests last year for Pittsburgh and simply has nothing left to prove in the upper minors at this juncture. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to bench versus lefty
    Frazier isn't in the Royals' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Angels.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Frazier will take a seat as Reid Detmers prepares to start on the hill Thursday for the Halos. His absence will allow Nelson Velazquez to serve as the Royals' DH while batting fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:23 pm
     
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Pirates recalled Gonzales from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Gonzales has spent all season in Triple-A, slashing .358/.431/.608 with four homers and 19 RBI across 137 plate appearances. The 24-year-old infielder will give the Pirates another player capable of fielding multiple positions, and he could dethrone the struggling Jared Triolo as Pittsburgh's primary second baseman.

  • Remains limited to tee work
    Edman (wrist) remains limited to tee work, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: He has been cleared to up the intensity of his workouts, but Edman's progress remains, at best, slow, with no return date in sight. The switch-hitter was transferred to the 60-day injured list earlier this week, so he's officially not eligible for activation until late May. Rotowire.com Today, 1:53 pm

  • Headed to Atlanta
    Atlanta acquired Short from the Red Sox on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.

    Advice: He will slide right into the role fellow utility infielder Luis Guillorme vacated after being traded to the Angels earlier Thursday. Short, who will turn 29 later this month, is a career .169/.262/.299 hitter over parts of four major-league seasons and has managed just one base hit in 2024 between his time with the Mets and Red Sox.

    Angels acquired INF Luis Guillorme from the Braves in exchange for a player to be named later.

    Advice: The trade is now official. Guillorme is an outstanding defender, but doesn’t offer much from an offensive standpoint. The 29-year-old figures to occupy a versatile bench role for Los Angeles moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 8:27 am
     
  • Angels acquire Luis Guillorme from Braves
    Angels acquired INF Luis Guillorme from the Braves in exchange for a player to be named later.

    Advice: The trade is now official, but still no word what the Braves are getting in return. The trade comes as the Angels transferred Anthony Rendon to the 60-day injured list, so it appears Guillorme will get some run at the hot corner for Los Angeles. Rotoworld Today, 8:27 am
     
  • Hitting bench Thursday
    Moore is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Moore has taken over as the Mariners' primary option at shortstop since J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list April 25, but he'll cede his spot in the field to Leonardo Rivas in the series finale in Minnesota. During Crawford's absence, Moore has batted just .184, though five of his seven hits over his last 13 games have gone for extra bases. Rotowire.com Today, 7:44 am
