    • Records first steal
      Naylor went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox.

      Advice: Naylor has gone hitless in his last two games -- it's just the second time this season he's been held without a hit in consecutive contests. He was able to pick up his first steal in three attempts this year with his lone trip on base Thursday. Despite the brief slump, he's slashing .295/.366/.557 with six home runs, 20 RBI, 13 runs scored and five doubles over 101 plate appearances in a starting role at first base.

    • Picks up steal in win
      Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox.

      Advice: Rocchio has gone 3-for-12 over his last four contests and continues to see a starting role at shortstop. He's yet to do much with the steady at-bats, slashing .205/.280/.301 with two steals on three attempts, four RBI, 10 runs scored, seven doubles and no home runs through 23 contests. With Gabriel Arias batting .280 in a utility role, it's unclear how much longer Rocchio will go relatively unchallenged for his spot in the lineup. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
    • Earns first win
      Gaddis (1-0) earned the win, allowing a hit in two-thirds of an inning without being charged with a run Thursday versus the Red Sox. He did not strike out or walk a batter.

      Advice: Gaddis allowed an inherited runner to score, which cut the Guardians' lead to 5-4 at the time. He was able to escape the jam, and he was ultimately credited with the win despite being the third reliever to pitch after starter Triston McKenzie. Gaddis has not been charged with a run over 12.1 innings this season, adding a 16:3 K:BB and six holds across 13 appearances. The right-hander's strong start to the campaign has earned him a setup role, though Thursday's outing shows that he's trusted to work in any high-leverage situation. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
    • Sent back to minors
      Morris was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

      Advice: Morris was called up to the majors Saturday but did not make an appearance. He'll head back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he's allowed six earned runs and maintained a 9:6 K:BB across eight innings early on in the campaign. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
    • Jack Leiter strikes out eight in return to Triple-A
      Rangers RHP prospect Jack Leiter recorded eight strikeouts over six shutout innings on Thursday for Triple-A Round Rock.

      Advice: Just a few days after coughing up seven runs over 3 2/3 innings last Thursday in his major-league debut against the Tigers, Leiter delivered a dominant performance in his return to the minors. The 24-year-old righty generated a season-high 19 swinging strikes and finished with a stellar 37 percent CSW. He’s posted an astronomical 33/6 K/BB ratio across 20 1/3 frames this season for Triple-A Round Rock. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
    • Orelvis Martinez continues mashing at Triple-A
      Blue Jays INF prospect Orelvis Martinez launched a three-run homer on Thursday for Triple-A Buffalo.

      Advice: Martinez has homered seven times in his last nine games and continues to make a compelling case to get the call to Toronto. The 22-year-old slugger is batting .325 (27-for-83) with a 1.060 OPS through 21 games so far. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago

    • Throws 60 pitches
      Clevinger allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out three across 3.1 innings Thursday with Triple-A Charlotte, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: Clevinger is ramping up his workload after signing with the White Sox a few days after the season began. He threw 60 pitches in his appearance Thursday and will increase his workload to 75 pitches in his next outing, which will also come with Charlotte. Assuming all goes well, Clevinger's third appearance of the campaign will come in the majors -- setting him up to debut around May 5. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
    • Shuttled back to Indy
      Ryan was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

      Advice: Ryan has had success in the majors this season, maintaining a 3.00 ERA with a 13:5 K:BB across 12 innings. He threw 1.2 scoreless frames Thursday against the Brewers, so this move is likely just a roster shuffle to get a fresh arm in the Pirates' bullpen in the short term. No corresponding move was announced. Rotowire.com Today, 7:12 pm
    • Continues to hit
      Refsnyder went 2-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Refsnyder is raking during a five-game hit streak, going 9-for-20 with extra-base hits in all five contests. The plan was for him to play against left-handers, but injuries to key players have led to four of his five starts against right-handers, against whom he's 7-for-16 with five extra-base hits.
