  • Resting Saturday
    Vaughn isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Vaughn is currently enjoying a five-game hitting streak, but the White Sox will give him a breather Saturday. Gavin Sheets will man first base instead, allowing Robbie Grossman to pick up a start in right field and bat sixth. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Brewers recalled Koenig from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    Advice: Koenig has appeared in five games for the Brewers this season, allowing two runs (one earned) on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over 8.2 innings. The 30-year-old southpaw will return to the Brewers' bullpen, while right-hander Corbin Martin was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
  • Idle against southpaw
    Larnach isn't in the Twins' lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

    Advice: The Red Sox will send southpaw Brennan Bernardino to the mound to begin Saturday's contest, forcing the lefty-hitting Larnach to step out of the lineup. His absence will move Ryan Jeffers into the DH spot while Christian Vazquez starts behind the plate and bats seventh. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
  • Hits bench versus lefty
    Kirilloff isn't in the Twins' lineup Saturday against Boston.

    Advice: Brennan Bernardino will start on the mound for the Red Sox, meaning the left-handed bat of Kirilloff will watch the beginning of Saturday's game from the dugout. Willi Castro will move to left field as a result, allowing Jose Miranda to start at third base while batting second. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Miles Mastrobuoni recalled from Iowa by Cubs
    Cabs recalled INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni from Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni is up with the Cubs ending the Matt Mervis experiment. For now, anyway. Mastrobuoni will provide some defensive value but that won’t carry over to fantasy rosters. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago

  • Cubs option Matt Mervis to Triple-A Iowa
    Cubs optioned INF Matt Mervis to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mervis was ineffective in his action with the Cubs, as the 26-year-old hit just .115 with an OPS of .302 helping tell the story. The 26-year-old was considered one of the better hitting prospects in the higher-levels not long ago, but so far, things don’t look great. Miles Mastrobuoni is up for Mervis to get work in Triple-A.

  • Brewers bring back Jared Koenig from Triple-A
    Brewers recalled LHP Jared Koenig from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Koenig was excellent over 8 2/3 innings in five appearances with the Brewers before his demotion with a 1.04 ERA as evidence. He provides a fresh multi-inning arm for the Brew Crew, with Corbin Martin heading back to Triple-A to make room on the roster. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
  • Brewers recall Andruw Monasterio from Triple-A
    Brewers recalled INF Andruw Monasterio from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Monasterio is up from the Sounds after Joey Wiemer was placed on the 10-day injured list with discomfort in his knee. Monasterio will just be a bench option while he’s with the club. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
  • Sent down to Triple-A
    The Cubs optioned Mervis to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday.

    Advice: Mervis was called up to the majors on April 23 after a strong start in Triple-A, slashing .288/.402/.606 with six doubles, five home runs and 13 RBI over 82 plate appearances with Iowa. That hasn't translated to the big club, as he's gone 3-for-26 with three RBI and eight strikeouts over nine games. Manager Craig Counsell noted that Mervis needs to go "back to the drawing board" in Triple-A, per Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune. The Cubs called up infielder Miles Mastrobuoni in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 9:15 am
