  • Stops throwing program
    Graterol (shoulder) has stopped his throwing program due to his arm remaining sore and manager Dave Roberts stated, "It's going to be a long program" to get him back, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Graterol began a throwing progression in April to start recovering from his shoulder injury, but it appears recurring soreness will prohibit him from returning as early as hoped. The righty pitcher's time-table will likely look different now, and the hopeful outlook for a mid-May return seems less likely considering this news. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
  • Hits bench Wednesday
    Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Though he'll give way to Yan Gomes behind the dish Wednesday, Amaya seems to have edged ahead of the veteran on the depth chart at catcher. Amaya started in four of the previous five games and owns a 302-point edge in OPS over Gomes for the season (.772 to .470). Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
  • Moves to bench Wednesday
    McCormick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: McCormick will take a seat after he went a collective 5-for-14 with a pair of RBI, a urn and a stolen base over the past four games. Yordan Alvarez will fill in for McCormick as the Astros' starting left fielder. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
  • Could return soon
    Correa (oblique) said Wednesday he could return during the Twins' upcoming road trip, which begins Friday against the Angels and runs through next Wednesday against the White Sox, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Correa did some glove work and took swings Wednesday as he ramps up his baseball activities, and there's a chance he returns from the injured list without a minor-league rehab assignment. The star shortstop's progress over the next few days should provide a better indication of whether a rehab stint will be necessary. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

  • Late scratch Wednesday
    Gelof was scratched from Oakland's lineup ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Yankees, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's unclear why the A's took Gelof out of their lineup, but the team should offer some clarity soon. Abraham Toro will replace him at the keystone while batting sixth. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • Sits again amid slump
    Abreu is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Abreu is on the bench for the second time in three days after an 0-for-3 showing in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Cubs dropped his season-long slash line to .065/.132/.081 over 68 plate appearances. Though Jon Singleton will pick up another start at Abreu's expense, prospect Joey Loperfido looks to be the longer-term replacement at first base if the Astros elect to move on from the struggling Abreu at any point. An outfielder for most of his minor-league career, Loperfido has made five starts at first base for Triple-A Sugar Land so far this season and has posted a 1.028 OPS over 20 games to put himself on the radar for a promotion.

  • Losing work to Gavin Sheets
    Grossman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: The switch-hitting Grossman finds himself on the bench against a right-handed pitcher for the second day in a row. While Grossman should still be a regular part of the lineup versus left-handed pitching, Gavin Sheets appears to have supplanted him as the primary option in right field. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
  • Gets Wednesday off
    Fletcher is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Fletcher still appears to be locked into a near-everyday role for the White Sox, but he'll give way to Kevin Pillar in center field Wednesday. The 26-year-old has turned in a lowly .548 OPS through 20 games, but that mark actually places him fifth among the 11 White Sox players who have logged at least 40 plate appearances this season.

  • Battling knee soreness
    Sano was removed from Wednesday's game versus Baltimore due to left knee soreness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: It's unclear what exactly caused Sano's knee to start acting up on him, but he was replaced at third base prior to the sixth inning nonetheless. More information on his knee may come after the game, but if his injury is minor, the Angels' off day Thursday could allow the 30-year-old infielder to return without missing any games.
