  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Mariners optioned Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rivas has been up with the big club for nearly four weeks but has hardly played, accruing just six plate appearances. He'll see more regular action back a Tacoma. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Activated but not starting Monday
    The Mariners activated Crawford (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Mariners put Crawford through a full pregame workout Monday, which is surely the reason why he's not in the lineup. He will be available off the bench, though, before likely returning to the starting nine Tuesday. Dylan Moore will handle shortstop again Monday. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Collects five RBI
    Jansen went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, five RBI and two runs scored in Monday's victory over the White Sox.

    Advice: This was the third time in Jansen's career that he has driven in five or more runs in a game, marking the first occurrence since Oct. 1, 2022. The highlight of 29-year-old catcher's day was launching a 377-foot homer off Jordan Leasure in the seventh inning. The Blue Jays backstop has swung a hot bat to open the season, slashing .333/.397/.681 over his first 78 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Homers, steals base in loss
    DeJong went 3-for-4 with a homer, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's loss to Toronto.

    Advice: DeJong cracked his seventh home run of the season in the fourth inning, hitting it 402 feet to center. The Chicago shortstop has enjoyed a hot start to May, hitting .288 (17-for-59) with four homers, 12 runs scored and eight RBI this month. Overall, DeJong is now slashing .246/.295/.462 in 139 plate appearances while playing shortstop every day for the White Sox. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Anthony Rendon walks uphill on treadmill
    Anthony Rendon, on the 60-day IL with a hamstring tear, said he’s progressed to walking on an incline on a treadmill.

    Advice: That still seems like it might be a few steps away from playing in a major league baseball game. Rendon was injured a month ago today and still has another month before he’ll be eligible to come off the IL. A return right after the All-Star break is probably the best-case scenario.

  • Brewers bring back Joey Wiemer from injured list
    Brewers activated OF Joey Wiemer from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Wiemer missed 16 days with left knee soreness. The Brewers could have just sent him down, as he wasn’t playing well before getting hurt, but they’ve instead decided to go with him over Chris Roller. He’ll likely play against lefties and come off the bench versus righties. He’s starting in center field and batting ninth tonight against Ryan Weathers. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Brewers option OF Chris Roller to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned OF Chris Roller to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: So much for Roller getting any sort of look. He struck out in his lone at-bat during his five days with the Brewers. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Feeling better
    Rendon (hamstring) has progressed to walking on an incline on the treadmill, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rendon is taking baby steps in his recovery from a left hamstring strain but said Monday that he's feeling a bit better. There remains no timetable for his return and he's not eligible for activation for another month after being shifted to the 60-day injured list. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago

  • On bench for Game 2
    Merrill is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader in Atlanta.

    Advice: Merrill started in center field in Game 1 and went 1-for-4 with two RBI, as he brought home San Diego's first two runs on a groundout and a single. Jose Azocar will take over in center field for the nightcap. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
