  • Exits with apparent knee injury
    Wiemer was removed from Friday's game versus the Cubs with an apparent left knee injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Wiemer's knee buckled on him as he was retrieving Nico Hoerner's single down the left field line in the bottom of the eighth inning. After a brief conversation with the trainer, Wiemer walked off the field gingerly. The Brewers should have more on his condition after the game. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

  • Set for double-A appearance
    Burdi (hip) will throw in a rehab game at double-A Somerset on Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Burdi's rehab stint will begin Sunday at the Double-A level after missing the last 11 days of April with right hip inflammation. He's yet to allow a run in seven MLB appearances this season. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

  • Twins recall Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul
    Twins recalled INF/OF Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: The versatile 25-year-old was just optioned out to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, but he’ll return to add depth on the Twins’ bench with Byron Buxton (knee) landing on the injured list. Martin has hit .226/.294/.371 with on homer, six RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 68 plate appearances with the big league club this season. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago

  • Byron Buxton (knee) lands on 10-day injured list
    Twins placed OF Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list with right knee inflammation.

    Advice: The Twins haven’t commented publicly on the results of Buxton’s MRI exam yet, but the fact that they’re terming the injury as only inflammation and not anything structural is certainly encouraging. There’s obviously no timeline yet on how long he’ll be sidelined for. Austin Martin was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move to take his place on the active roster.

  • Brandon Drury (head) remains out of action Friday
    Brandon Drury (migraine) remains out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Guardians.

    Advice: It’s unclear if Drury is sitting again because he’s still dealing with the migraine issue, or if manager Ron Washington simply wanted to go a different direction with right-hander Tanner Bibee on the hill for the Guardians on Friday night. Luis Rengifo will cover second base in his absence while Willie Calhoun functions as the Halos’ designated hitter. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago

  • Sidelined again Friday
    Drury (migraine) isn't part of Friday's lineup against the Guardians.

    Advice: Drury was scratched from Wednesday's contest due to a migraine, and while it hasn't been confirmed that it's the injury holding him out of Friday's game, it can be assumed that that's the case. Luis Rengifo will make another start at second with Ehire Adrianza over at third. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

  • Plays catch
    Ferrer (shoulder) played catch from 60 feet Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Ferrer had been shut down since mid-March with a strain of the teres major muscle in his right shoulder. He's on the 60-day injured list and it will be a while before he can return, but Friday's step was certainly an important one. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
     
  • Takes seat Friday
    Bader is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Bader will get the day off Friday, as Tyrone Taylor fills in at center field against Aaron Civale and the Rays. Bader played in each game of the Mets four-game series against the Cubs, so it's likely a rest day for the center fielder. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Activated, batting seventh in debut
    Grissom (hamstring/illness) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base Friday against the Twins.

    Advice: The 23-year-old is recovered from a bout with the flu and has joined the Red Sox a few days later than initially expected. Grissom has a career .287/.339/.407 slash line in 64 big-league games and should see plenty of playing time at the keystone for the Red Sox. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
