  • Suspension reduced to two games
    Siri's (thigh) suspension was reduced to two games and he began serving it Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Siri was handed the suspension as a result of his role in Tuesday's bench-clearing brawl with the Brewers. He was already going to miss a start Wednesday with a sore left thigh and now will be unavailable for Friday's game following the Rays' off day Thursday. Assuming he's over the thigh issue by then, Siri should return to action Saturday versus the Mets. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Matt Vierling homers, knocks in three runs
    Matt Vierling went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a sac fly against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

    Advice: The homer was on a truly awful curveball from Miles Mikolas. That was the third hardest-hit ball of the game. His first-inning single was the second hardest at 109.9 mph, trailing only a Willson Contreras homer. Vierling has always shown ample power, but he’s lifting the ball more often this year and he’s off to a nice start at .282/.311/.447. The Tigers will likely want to keep him in the lineup regularly after Gio Urshela returns. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

  • Filling in for Trout in CF
    Moniak will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Moniak will get a second straight start in center field after going 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 loss. Despite entering Wednesday's contest with a .150/.203/.217 slash line through 64 plate appearances on the season, Moniak could have a fairly long leash in center field while Mike Trout (knee) is likely headed for an extended absence as he recovers from meniscus surgery.

  • Dealing with knee injury
    Buxton's removal from Wednesday's game against the White Sox was due to right knee soreness, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Buxton tweaked his knee on a stolen base attempt in the second inning of Wednesday's contest. It's the same knee that he's had surgery on twice, with the most recent operation occurring last October. It's not clear at this point how big of a setback this could be, but the Twins could offer more detail on Buxton's condition after the game. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
     
  • Byron Buxton dealing with right knee soreness
    Twins announced Byron Buxton is dealing with right knee soreness after he exited Wednesday’s game.

    Advice: Phew. It appears Buxton avoided any significant injury after he attempted to steal second base and came off the field in pain. Buxton can be considered day-to-day for the time being. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to bench Wednesday
    Santander is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Santander will get a breather after he had started each of Baltimore's last 13 games while posting an .886 OPS. The 29-year-old isn't at any risk of losing hold of an everyday role, but he'll cede his spot in the lineup Wednesday to rookie Heston Kjerstad, who has played sparingly since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on April 23.

  • Cleared for season debut
    Triple-A Columbus reinstated Valera (hamstring) from its 7-day injured list Wednesday.

    Advice: Valera looks set to make his season debut Wednesday against Toledo after missing the first month of the campaign due to a hamstring strain. The 23-year-old outfielder didn't conduct a rehab assignment with one of the Guardians' lower-level affiliates prior to being activated, but he was presumably able to prepare for his 2024 Columbus debut by ramping up through simulated games at extended spring training in Arizona.

  • Takes live BP on Tuesday
    Andujar (knee) took live batting practice against Scott Alexander (ribs) on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

    Advice: Andujar began a running program on April 23 and is expected to next run the bases Saturday, per MLB.com. If he gets through that step without setbacks, the veteran is expected to head out on a multi-game rehab assignment at a yet-to-be-determined affiliate shortly thereafter.

  • Exits with apparent leg injury
    Buxton was removed from Wednesday's game against the White Sox in the bottom of the second inning with an apparent leg injury, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Advice: After reaching on a base hit in his first plate appearance of the day in the top of the second inning, Buxton attempted a steal of second base but came up lame and walked off the field gingerly after being tagged out. The Twins should have more clarity on the nature of Buxton's injury later Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:57 am
