  • 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
  • Officially activated
    Swanson (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday night, per MLB's transaction log.

    Advice: Swanson was expected to be activated prior to Tuesday's game against Atlanta, and the team has elected to make the move official a bit earlier than anticipated despite not having a game Monday. Miles Mastrobuoni and Pete Crow-Armstrong were optioned to Triple-A Iowa in corresponding moves, making room for the upcoming promotion of Luis Vazquez. Rotowire.com Today, 5:06 pm
  • Dodgers send Landon Knack to Triple-A
    Dodgers optioned RHP Landon Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: The move makes room for the newly acquired Yohan Ramírez on the roster. Knack had a fine 2.61 ERA in four starts for the Dodgers, but he wasn’t going to be needed this week with the team having Thursday off. He might rejoin the rotation at the beginning of next month, but the Dodgers could also have Bobby Miller close to returning by then. Rotoworld Today, 4:52 pm
  • Dodgers designate Eduardo Salazar for assignment
    Dodgers designated RHP Eduardo Salazar for assignment.

    Advice: Salazar had two quick stints with the Dodgers this season and allowed one unearned run in two innings. By clearing him from the 40-man, the Dodgers are picking Yohan Ramírez over giving Salazar an extended look. Rotoworld Today, 4:50 pm
  • Cubs activated Dansby Swanson from I.L.
    Cubs activated SS Dansby Swanson from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The Cubs don’t play today, so it’s kind of surprising that the move is coming now. However, MLB.com’s transactions page says it’s official. Still unofficial is the Luis Vazquez callup, which is expected to happen before the game Tuesday. Swanson should start at shortstop Tuesday after missing two weeks with a sprained knee.

  • Begins throwing off mound
    May (elbow) has started throwing off a mound at the Dodgers' team facility in Arizona, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: May has been slowly working his way back from the surgery underwent on his right flexor tendon and UCL in July. The right-hander will progressively increase his workload on the mound before he'll likely throw live batting practice and ultimately go on an extended minor-league rehab assignment. The organization will likely be especially cautious in their approach to May's recovery and his return to the majors is currently projected to come around the All-Star break.

  • 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
