  • Ramping up baseball work
    White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Tuesday that Robert (hip) is taking batting practice and running at 80 percent, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: The 26-year-old is about halfway through the short end of his initial recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks, and he appears to be a bit ahead of schedule. Robert could be ready to rejoin the White Sox in mid-May, but the organization is likely to remain cautious as he ramps up his baseball activities over the next couple weeks.

  • Sitting for nightcap
    Winn isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Detroit, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Winn went 1-for-4 during St. Louis' Game 1 victory, and he'll get a breather to conclude Tuesday's twin bill. Brandon Crawford will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth during the nightcap. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 pm

  • Throwing bullpen session
    Snell (thigh) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Snell landed on the shelf last week with a Grade 2 adductor strain, but he wasn't shut down from throwing for long. The left-hander hopes to spend close to the 15-day minimum on the injured list, though he seems likely to be sidelined a bit longer. A specific timeline for Snell's return could come into focus as he ramps up his throwing program. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 pm
     
  • Idle versus lefty
    Carpenter isn't in the Tigers' lineup versus the Cardinals for the last game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: The Cardinals are starting southpaw Steven Matz on the bump for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, which sends Carpenter to the bench. With him on the bench, Wenceel Perez will occupy right field and bat seventh. Additionally, Mark Canha has the start as the designated hitter and will bat third. Rotowire.com Today, 3:33 pm

  • Red Sox acquire Bailey Horn from White Sox
    Red Sox acquired LHP Bailey Horn from the White Sox for cash considerations.

    Advice: Red Sox president of baseball operations Craig Breslow’s familiarity with Horn from their time with the Cubs the last few years certainly appears to have been a factor in this move. The 26-year-old lefty was removed from the White Sox’ 40-man roster earlier this week and will head to Triple-A Worcester as extra organizational depth for the Red Sox. Rotoworld Today, 3:32 pm
     
  • Resting Tuesday
    Cruz isn't in the Pirates' lineup Tuesday against the Athletics, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Cruz is slashing .094/.121/.094 against left-handed pitchers this season, so he will get a day off with Alex Wood set to take the mound for Oakland. Alika Williams will take his place at shortstop while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:29 pm
     
  • Sitting versus lefty
