  • Giants outright Ryan McKenna to Triple-A
    Giants sent OF Ryan McKenna outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: The 27-year-old outfielder passed through waivers unclaimed and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Sacramento. He’ll continue to function as excess outfield depth for the Giants until he’s called upon once more. Rotoworld Today, 3:38 pm

  • Will start Friday
    Carlson is starting in right field and batting eighth for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Carlson was originally set to sit Friday, but he was inserted into the lineup after Brendan Donovan was scratched due to neck stiffness. Carlson is hitting .139/.244/.139 since being activated off the injured list due to a left shoulder sprain May 5. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm

  • Out of lineup Friday
    Jankowski is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Miami.

    Advice: The veteran will take a seat as Wyatt Langford and Adolis Garcia start in left and right field, respectively, and Ezequiel Duran fills in at designated hitter. Jankowski is slashing .247/.301/.325 with six RBI and seven runs this season. Rotowire.com Today, 1:48 pm

  • Tommy Edman (wrist) takes BP left-handed Friday
    Tommy Edman (wrist) was able to take batting practice from the left side of the plate for the first time on Friday.

    Advice: Edman is already eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list, but he’s still not close to being ready. The fact that he’s now able to face live pitching from both sides of the plate though is an encouraging sign and perhaps a minor league rehab assignment could be in the cards soon. He’s going to need plenty of at-bats there before he’s ready to join the Cardinals though and there’s no guarantee that he’ll even be ready before the end of June. Rotoworld Today, 1:44 pm

  • Taking BP from left side
    Edman (wrist) has been cleared to take batting practice from the left side of the plate, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's the first time the switch hitter has taken BP from the left side since he experienced complications in his recovery from right wrist surgery. While the step is an important one, Edman does not appear close to beginning a rehab assignment just yet. Rotowire.com Today, 1:34 pm

  • Out against lefty
    Varsho is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: With Pittsburgh sending southpaw Bailey Falter to the mound, the lefty-hitting Varsho will retreat to the bench. Davis Schneider will move to left field and bat leadoff while Kevin Kiermaier and George Springer round out Toronto's outfield. Rotowire.com Today, 12:09 pm

  • DFA'd by Cleveland
    Cleveland designated Florial for assignment Friday, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Advice: With Steven Kwan (hamstring) returning from the 10-day injured list, Florial will be the one removed to open up a spot on the 26-man roster. The 26-year-old outfielder is slashing .173/.264/.367 with 11 RBI across 36 games with Cleveland this year, and his next landing spot will be at Triple-A Columbus if he clears the waiver process.

  • Idle versus southpaw
    Brennan is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Washington, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Brennan will get a break as southpaw Patrick Corbin takes the mound for the Nationals. Gabriel Arias will move into right field and bat eighth in place of Brennan while Steven Kwan and Tyler Freeman round out Cleveland's outfield. Rotowire.com Today, 11:43 am
