  • Optioned to Vegas
    The Athletics optioned Noda to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

    Advice: Noda's 0-for-3 performance during Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh made him 0-for-28 across his last 11 games and gives him a putrid .128 batting average through 83 at-bats on the year. Abraham Toro will likely fill in as Oakland's everyday first baseman while Noda attempts to rediscover his swing in the minors. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago

  • Ends up on injured list
    The Astros placed McCormick on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to right hamstring discomfort, retroactive to Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that the Astros were debating placing McCormick on the injured list, and the team ultimately decided sitting him down for another week is the best course of action. The 29-year-old outfielder likely won't require more than a minimum stay on the IL, so he may be able to return to the lineup when eligible May 8. Jacob Amaya was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Astros recalled Amaya from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Chas McCormick (hamstring) headed for the 10-day IL, Amaya will come up from the minors to give the Astros an additional bench bat. However, the 25-year-old infielder is slashing just .190/.297/.302 across 74 plate appearances at Triple-A, so he likely won't see much playing time while with Houston. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

  • Astros recall Jacob Amaya from Triple-A
    Astros recalled INF Jacob Amaya from Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder will add depth to the Astros’ bench with Chas McCormick (hamstring) hitting the injured list on Wednesday. He’s unlikely to see enough playing time to gain any sort of relevancy from a fantasy perspective. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago

  • Astros place Chas McCormick on 10-day IL
    Astros placed OF Chas McCormick on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 28, with a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: Astros’ manager Joe Espada had mentioned earlier in the day that McCormick may need a stint on the injured list, and after attempting to go through a pregame workout on Wednesday the determination was made. Jacob Amaya was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move on Wednesday. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago

  • Clears waivers
    Rodriguez cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Rodriguez was designated for assignment Sunday after posting a 6.55 ERA and 1.55 WHIP across 11 innings with the Red Sox. The 32-year-old southpaw will now officially remain with the organization, but he will not have the benefit of a 40-man roster spot and will likely need to show significant improvement in the minors before getting another shot in Boston.

  • Returns from Triple-A
    The Astros recalled Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Cabbage was returned to Triple-A after serving as the 27th man for the Astros' two-game series with the Rockies in Mexico City last weekend, but he'll be back with the big club just two days later after Houston optioned struggling first baseman Jose Abreu to their spring training facility. While he's up with the Astros, Cabbage will provide depth in the corner outfield and at first base. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago

  • Sitting Wednesday
    Cooper (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Cooper will get a day to recover after taking a pitch off his right wrist during Tuesday's contest. While he sits, Dominic Smith will make his Red Sox debut at first base and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
     
  • Gregory Soto hangs on for save Wednesday vs. Halos
    Gregory Soto tossed a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday against the Angels to net his second save of the season.

    Advice: Soto got the call to guard a one-run lead in the final frame after José Alvarado faced the middle of Los Angeles’ lineup in the previous frame. He gave up back-to-back one-out singles to Zach Neto and Nolan Schanuel before striking out Jo Adell and retiring Taylor Ward to extinguish the threat. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
