      The Royals recalled Selby from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

      Advice: The right-hander was acquired from the Pirates in early April and will now receive his first look with the Royals. Selby appeared in 21 games (five starts) for Pittsburgh last season and had a 9.00 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB across 24 innings. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
    • Activated from injured list
      The Tigers activated Ibanez (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

      Advice: Ibanez wound up missing a little more than three weeks of action with a strained left hamstring. The utility player should see some starts for the Tigers against left-handed pitching. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

    • Optioned to Triple-A
      The Royals optioned Bowlan to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

      Advice: The move comes a day after Bowlan lased just 2.2 innings in a start versus the Blue Jays, yielding four runs on six hits and three walks. Bowlan returns to Omaha, where he's posted a 2.57 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB across 21 frames this season. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
    • Productive in win
      Langeliers went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a double and a walk in a win over the Pirates on Monday.

      Advice: The struggling backstop experienced a rare taste of offensive success in Oakland's fourth win in the last five games. Langeliers is still sitting on a forgettable .172 average and .227 on-base percentage across 97 plate appearances. However, eight of his 15 hits have gone for extra bases and he has an acceptable 21.6 percent strikeout rate, offering some support for the notion that he'll be due for a turnaround once his atypically low .143 BABIP sees a boost.

    • On base thrice in win
      Bleday went 1-for-2 with a double and two walks in a win over the Pirates on Monday.

      Advice: Bleday, who opened the season as one of the Athletics' more consistent bats, had ironically been mired in a downturn during Oakland's recent improved stretch of play. Bleday entered Monday just 3-for-18 over the previous seven contests, but his three trips on the basepaths Tuesday represented a welcome uptick. Bleday also now has four two-baggers in the last six games, although he's now gone 24 games without a home run. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
    • Steals base as pinch runner
      Butler entered Monday's win over the Pirates as a pinch runner in the bottom of the seventh inning and remained in the game in right field, recording a stolen base but not logging a plate appearance.

      Advice: Butler was able to work himself into scoring position by swiping second after entering the game for Tyler Nevin, yet he was stranded when Ryan Noda struck out looking to end the frame. Butler's steal was his second of the season, but he continues to struggle to get going against big-league arms as evidenced by his .205 average and .660 OPS across 85 plate appearances. With Nevin thriving at the plate and capable of playing right field, Butler may be a candidate for a reduction in playing time in the near future if his difficulties persist.

    • Productive out of leadoff spot
      Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Pirates on Monday.

      Advice: Five of Ruiz's nine hits on the season have now gone for extra bases, leading to his considerably surprising .528 slugging percentage across 42 plate appearances. The speedy outfielder has seen an increase in strikeout rate to 23.8 percent and is sporting a bloated 34.8 percent chase rate as well, but the Athletics might be willing to live with some of that if Ruiz can continue to demonstrate improved pop after posting a middling .654 OPS across 132 games in 2023.

    • On bench for matinee
      Canha is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Canha started the previous seven games and hit .407 with three doubles and two homers during that span, but he'll take a seat for Tuesday's matinee. Riley Greene will receive a turn at designated hitter while Wenceel Perez gets a start in the outfield. Rotowire.com Today, 9:36 am

    • Dominant in first win
      Voth (1-0) got the win over Atlanta on Monday, allowing a hit and striking out the side over one inning.

      Advice: Asked to keep the Mariners' deficit at one run when he entered in the ninth, Voth got matters off on the wrong foot by allowing a leadoff single to Jarred Kelenic. Subsequently faced with the daunting gauntlet of Ronald Acuna, Ozzie Albies and Austin Riley, Voth cranked it up several notches by striking out all three sluggers, the latter two swinging. He was then rewarded with the victory after Mitch Garver slugged a walk-off two-run home run in the home half of the frame, putting a a fitting cap on Voth's fourth straight appearance without allowing an earned run. The veteran right-hander does not yet have a hold or save, but he's now carrying an impressive 2.84 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 12.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 9:36 am
