  • Chris Devenski heads to IL with knee tendinitis
    Rays placed RHP Chris Devenski on the 15-day injured list with right knee tendinitis.

    Advice: Devinski has thrown 14 innings thus far in 2024 with a 7.71 ERA. The right-hander will miss the next two weeks at minimum while he recovers. Jacob Lopez is up from Triple-A Durham to take Devenski’s place on the roster. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Activated from injured list
    The Orioles activated Perez (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Perez has been out most of this season with a right oblique strain but is ready to go after making two rehab appearances. Dillon Tate was optioned in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • John Means, Kyle Bradish coming off IL this week
    Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters that both John Means (elbow) and Kyle Bradish will come off the injured list this week.

    Advice: The Orioles rotation is about to finally be at full strength. Means pitched well Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday with the left-hander going seven scoreless innings that saw him allow just one hit. Bradish is believed to be the starter for Thursday’s game, and Means will get the chance to pitch over the weekend. Bradish offers a little more fantasy upside, but Means is worthy of roster consideration playing behind the loaded Baltimore offense. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago

  • Sent down to Triple-A
    The Orioles optioned Tate to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Tate holds a 2.84 ERA this season, although that's come with a 6:6 K:BB over 12.2 innings. This seems to mostly be a case of him having options left working against him, however. Cionel Perez (oblique) is back from the injured list to absorb Tate's roster spot. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Gets rest Monday
    Pham is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Pham will get a breather after he started all three games in center field against the Rays over the weekend after the White Sox selected his contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday. He batted out of the No. 2 spot in each of those contests, going 5-for-14 with three runs. Rafael Ortega will get the nod in center field Monday, but Pham should hold down a near-everyday role for a White Sox squad lacking in competent bats. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Diagnosed with mild flexor strain
    Luzardo has been diagnosed with a mild flexor strain in his left elbow, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's relatively good news, especially considering that Luzardo was able to play catch Monday, just three days after tightness in his pitching arm forced him to the injured list. There is no timetable at this juncture for Luzardo's return to the Marlins' rotation, but there could be more clarity later this week. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to bench Monday
    Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Frazier will head to the bench after he had been included in the lineup for each of the past six games while making three starts at designated hitter and one apiece at second base and in left field and right field. The Royals could look to keep Frazier in a super-utility role in order to maximize his playing time, but he'll likely have to improve upon his .535 OPS if he's to stick in the lineup on a regular basis moving forward.

  • Aiming to return when eligible
    Senga (shoulder) faced hitters Monday and said afterward that he thinks he'll return around when he's first eligible to be activated on May 27, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Working his way back from a shoulder capsule strain, Senga also added that he will need to face hitters two more times before beginning a rehab assignment. That should put him on track for his first rehab start in early May, with a return before the end of the month possible if all goes according to plan. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

  • On bench for fifth straight game
    Kjerstad is out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Yankees.

    Advice: After starting the first game following his promotion from Triple-A Norfolk on April 23, Kjerstad has now been on the bench for five straight contests. Clearly, getting the 25-year-old consistent reps hasn't been a priority for manager Brandon Hyde. Colten Cowser and Anthony Santander will occupy the corner-outfield spots Monday, while Ryan Mountcastle will handle first base and Ryan O'Hearn will serve as Baltimore's designated hitter.
