  • DFA'd by Seattle
    The Mariners designated Zavala for assignment Tuesday.

    Advice: Zavala has played in just 18 games this season and has a .154/.214/.282 slash line and 37.2 percent strikeout rate in 43 plate appearances. The Mariners already have Cal Raleigh and Mitch Garver on the big-league roster, so the club will roll with two catchers going forward. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Mariners remove Seby Zavala from roster
    Mariners designated C Seby Zavala for assignment.

    Advice: The Mariners are removing Zavala from the active and 40-man roster with Ty France (heel) coming off the injured list. This means Mitch Garver is now the backup catcher as well as the designated hitter, and Tyler Locklear is staying on the roster. If Zavala goes unclaimed, he likely will report to Triple-A Tacoma.

  • Mariners activate Ty France (heel) off injured list
    Mariners activated INF Ty France off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: France missed just the minimum time on the injured list despite suffering a fractured heel. Interestingly, the Mariners aren’t sending Tyler Locklear — France’s replacement — to Tacoma as the corresponding transaction, but instead designated catcher Seby Zavala for assignment. The question now is what kind of role Locklear will have, as France is expected to resume the regular role as starting first baseman. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
     
  • Back from injured list
    The Mariners activated France (heel) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: France missed just the minimum 10 days with a right heel fracture and will skip a rehab assignment, going right back onto the Mariners' roster. Tyler Locklear has been filling in at first base for France and remains on the roster, but France should go back to seeing the bulk of the starts at first for Seattle.

  • Mike Clevinger (elbow) making rehab start Tuesday
    Mike Clevinger (elbow) is making a rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Advice: Clevinger is working his way back from elbow inflammation that has sideliend him since the end of May. The 33-year-old could be back in the rotation after that rehab start, but the next steps will be determined by how he responds from the outing. Rotoworld Today, 8:31 am
     
  • Three hits in big win
    Vientos went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Rangers.

    Advice: The 24-year-old snapped out of an offensive swoon that had seen him bat .188 (6-for-32) over the prior 10 games. Vientos has a hammerlock on the starting job at third base for the Mets -- since returning to the majors in mid-May, he's slashing .292/.360/.494 with four homers and 14 RBI in 26 contests. His defense has even gotten more reliable, as he's committed only one error during that stretch and has a minus-2.9 UZR/150 through 206.1 innings at the hot corner, a huge improvement on the minus-13.4 UZR/150 he managed in 153 innings last year.

  • Ends homer drought Monday
    Stewart went 2-for-6 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Getting the start in right field and batting fifth, Stewart ripped a first-pitch fastball from Jon Gray down the right-field line in the second inning, giving the Mets an early 7-0 lead in an eventual 14-2 rout. The blast ended a 32-game homer drought for Stewart, with his last long ball coming April 30 -- in between, he slashed a woeful .145/.299/.182 with just two RBI in 67 plate appearances. The 30-year-old has seen his playing time largely evaporate with J.D. Martinez handling everyday duties at DH, and even if he heats up at the plate, Stewart's role isn't likely to change much.

  • Begins rehab assignment
    Martin (elbow) began a rehab assignment with the White Sox' Arizona Complex League affiliate on June 14, allowing one run with a 5:1 K:BB over two innings.

    Advice: Martin had Tommy John surgery last May and is currently on the 60-day injured list at Triple-A Charlotte. He will eventually move up to Charlotte once the White Sox decide he's ready and should be an option to join the major-league club at some point after the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Today, 8:09 am

  • Goes back on IL
    Triple-A Reno placed Barrosa on its 7-day injured list June 11 with an unspecified injury.

    Advice: Barrosa was on Reno's IL for about six weeks due to a hamstring injury before returning to action May 31, but he was shut down again just over a week later. It's unclear if Barrosa aggravated the previous hamstring injury, or if he's dealing with a new health concern. He's appeared in just 18 games for Reno this season, slashing .283/.389/.417 with one home run and three stolen bases across 72 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 8:00 am
