  • On bench in second straight
    Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: After sitting against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize in Saturday's 5-3 win, the lefty-hitting Wells will remain on the bench Sunday with southpaw Tarik Skubal on the hill for Detroit. The Yankees may be opting for more of a timeshare at catcher between Wells and the right-handed-hitting Jose Trevino rather than a true platoon, given that Trevino has been the better performer of the two this season. Trevino heads into Sunday's game with a .719 OPS, more than 100 points higher than Wells' mark (.592). Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Back in bench role
    Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Grisham recently made four consecutive starts in center field, but three came while Alex Verdugo was away from the team on paternity leave. With Verdugo having rejoined the Yankees on Thursday, Grisham has predictably moved back into a fourth-outfielder role. He'll take a seat for the third straight game Sunday.

  • Reaches five innings in rehab start
    Woo (elbow) struck out six and allowed three hits and no walks over five shutout innings in his third rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Woo was about as sharp as the Mariners could have hoped in what was likely the final start of his rehab assignment, as he built up to 66 pitches (44 strikes) while making quick work of the Triple-A Sacramento lineup. Provided Woo experiences no complications with his right elbow during a bullpen session within the next couple of days, he should be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list to make his 2024 Mariners debut later this week. Emerson Hancock has been filling in as the Mariners' No. 5 starter while Woo has been out, but Seattle could have room in the rotation for both hurlers if George Kirby (knee) is forced to the 15-day IL. Woo is likely to be activated to start either Thursday in Minnesota or Friday at home versus the Athletics. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • One hit in Pittsburgh debut
    Grandal went 1-for-4 Saturday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Grandal made his first start since joining the Pirates this offseason, as he was sidelined by a foot injury for the first month of the campaign. He reached base in his first plate appearance on a single. Grandal is expected to serve as Pittsburgh's primary catcher, though he may be pushed for playing time by Joey Bart.

  • Collects 12th RBI
    Sheets went 1-for-2 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Sheets opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning and also came around to score in the sixth frame after earning a walk as the leadoff hitter. He remains a regular in the lineup, most often starting in right field, and has primarily settled into the third spot in the order. Sheets has hit well for much of the season, and he has at least one hit in 12 of his last 15 starts while hitting .273 with four RBI and six runs scored. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Delivers game-winning hit
    Pham went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Pham delivered an RBI single in the 10th inning to put the White Sox ahead for good. Since joining the team April 26, Pham has hit exclusively second in the order and has at least one base hit in six of his seven starts. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Roughed up in first loss
    Elder (1-1) was hit with the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out four.

    Advice: Elder went 1-2-3 through the first inning before surrendering a leadoff walk to Will Smith in the second, followed by a two-run shot off the bat of Max Muncy. The right-hander would then give up a home run in both the third and fourth innings as well, leading to a season-high seven runs being charged to him. Elder hadn't allowed a home run, or more than two runs in either of his first two starts to open the campaign before getting beat up by the Dodgers on Saturday. However, he has now allowed seven or more hits in two of his first three outings this season. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
     
  • Makes big-league debut
    Ramos entered Saturday's game against the Cardinals in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement at third base.

    Advice: Ramos was promoted to the majors in the wake of Danny Mendick (back) being sidelined Saturday. Ramos didn't start but did enter the game as a replacement to make his big-league debut. After the game, manager Pedro Grifol confirmed that Ramos will have the chance to play regularly, per MLB.com. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
     
  • Two hits, stolen base in loss
    Marte went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Rays.

    Advice: Marte drove in the Mets' only run of the game with an RBI single in the top of the first, following a leadoff double from Brandon Nimmo to open the frame. The right fielder would add another single and a walk in the contest while also swiping his seventh bag of the season. Marte has struggled a bit at the plate as of late and is batting just .188 (3-for-16) in May. However, he's also tallied multiple hits in five of his last 11 games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:44 am
