  • Scoreless frame in rehab debut
    Muller (shoulder) fired a scoreless inning during Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Sacramento on Tuesday, allowing a hit and recording a strikeout.

    Advice: Muller kicked off his rehab assignment is solid fashion, successfully working around a single and getting through his one frame on 10 pitches. The left-hander is due to make multiple appearances for the Aviators before activation is considered, although he may not need more than a couple of more outings considering he won't need to build up much as a result of his relief role.

  • Hitting bench after two straight starts
    Alexander is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: After being called up from Triple-A Omaha on Monday, Alexander started at third base in the first two games of the Royals' series with the Marlins, going 0-for-6 with a pair of strikeouts. He'll take a seat Wednesday while Nick Loftin occupies third base, and it's possible the two could be part of a timeshare at the hot corner until Michael Massey is cleared to play the infield again after he served as Kansas City's designated hitter in his first two games back from the injured list.

  • Battling knee tendinitis
    Reds manager David Bell revealed Wednesday that Candelario is dealing with knee tendinitis that is "progressively not getting better" and "maybe a bit worse," Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Candelario -- who is not in Wednesday's lineup versus the Pirates -- was removed from a game last week with the issue and it has continued to nag at him. Bell noted that Candelario is still able to play but added that the infielder will be re-evaluated Wednesday as the club decides how to best handle the situation. With Noelvi Marte looking likely to return from suspension Thursday and give the club another option at third base, it's possible the Reds will choose to put Candelario on the injured list if they determine his knee would improve with some rest.

  • Throws bullpen Tuesday
    Stripling (elbow) was able to complete a bullpen session before Tuesday's game against the Angels and is set to throw another Saturday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The veteran right-hander came away feeling healthy from Tuesday's activity, and he's expected to throw 30-35 pitches in his session Saturday. Assuming that bullpen also goes off without a hitch, Stripling could be deemed ready to face hitters at some point during the subsequent week. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Tigers recall Keider Montero to start Wednesday
    Tigers recalled RHP Keider Montero from Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: Montero will make his second big-league start Wednesday against the Phillies. He gave up four runs over 4 1/3 innings against the Pirates in his debut four weeks ago. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Resting for day game
    Anderson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: The veteran shortstop will take a seat Wednesday while the Marlins wrap up their series in Kansas City with a day game after a night game. Vidal Brujan will step in as the Marlins' starting shortstop in Anderson's stead. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Belts 10th homer in loss
    Garver went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

    Advice: Garver's night was a microcosm of the dichotomy of his first season with the Mariners -- he flashed his power stroke for the second straight night and left the yard for the fifth time in the last 16 games overall, but he also struck out in his other three plate appearances. The veteran offseason addition has impressively knocked 22 of his 39 hits for extra bases, yet the second-highest strikeout rate of his career (30.0 percent) and a .215 BABIP have conspired to generate an anemic .176 average across his first 68 games in Seattle.
