  • Giants send Jakson Reetz outright to Triple-A
    Giants sent C Jakson Reetz outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: As anticipated, the 28-year-old backstop passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to serve as extra catching depth for the Giants at the Triple-A level. Reetz went just 1-for-12 (.083) with a solo homer and four strikeouts during his time with the big league club. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:40 pm
     
  • Absent from lineup
    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Langeliers will get a breather Friday after going 2-for-12 with a two-run home run during Oakland's three-game series with the Rays. Instead, Kyle McCann will bat sixth and fill in behind the dish. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:37 pm
     
  • Out against lefty
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Washington sending southpaw Patrick Corbin to the mound for the series opener, the lefty-hitting Naylor will get a break. David Fry will fill in at catcher and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:40 am
     
  • Mets acquire catcher Luis Torrens from Yankees
    Mets acquired C Luis Torrens from the Yankees for cash considerations.

    Advice: Torrens will take the roster spot of Omar Narvaez, who was designated for assignment. He’s spent parts of the last five seasons in the majors, mostly with the Seattle Mariners. Torrens, 28, hit .243 with 15 home runs in 108 games in 2021 with Seattle. He figures to share catching duties with Tomas Nido until Francisco Alvarez returns. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:06 am
     
  • Mets designate Omar Narváez for assignment
    Mets designated C Omar Narváez for assignment.

    Advice: Narváez’s days on the Mets roster were likely numbered already with Francisco Alvarez on a rehab assignment. Instead the Mets are swapping him out for the newly acquired Luis Torrens. He batted just .154 in 28 games this season for the Mets. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:00 am
     
  • Joins Mets
    The Mets acquired Torrens from the Yankees on Friday in exchange for cash considerations and purchased his contract from Triple-A Syracuse, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Advice: The Mets have designated Omar Narvaez for assignment and will replace him with Torrens. The 28-year-old has hit .279/.339/.468 with five home runs this season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Torrens should back up Tomas Nido for the time being but might only be around until Francisco Alvarez (thumb) returns. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:59 am
     
  • Designated for assignment
    The Mets designated Narvaez for assignment on Friday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

    Advice: Narvaez's two years in New York have been a disaster, as he posted a .580 OPS over 49 games in 2023 and has a .154/.191/.185 slash line in 28 games this year. Even with Francisco Alvarez (thumb) not yet back from the injured list, the Mets will look elsewhere for catching depth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:51 am
     
  • Lifts 12th homer Thursday
    Langeliers went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in an extra-innings loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Langeliers' 406-foot shot to left-center field in the third inning erased a 3-2 deficit as he left the yard for the second time in the last four games. The 26-year-old backstop's propensity for hard contact continues to serve fantasy managers well and make up for some of his other offensive deficiencies, and Langeliers carries a .768 OPS thanks to his 22 extra-base hits (eight doubles, two triples, 12 home runs).

  • Knocks homer in victory
    Caratini went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's 4-0 win versus Seattle.

    Advice: Caratini plated the Astros' final two runs in the contest, belting a solo homer in the fifth inning and adding an RBI on a fielder's choice in the sixth. The long ball has his first since the final day of April, and the backup catcher has posted a modest .205 average over 39 at-bats in May. On a positive note, Caratini is registering a career-best 15.0 percent strikeout rate on the campaign. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:42 pm
