  • Heating up
    Devers went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Devers produced a second consecutive three-hit effort after missing five games with a knee injury. He's 6-for-9 with a double, home run, two RBI and two runs scored in his two games back. The downtime appears to have given the balky shoulder he was dealing with during Boston's homestand last week time to heal. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Mike Clevinger continues building up pitch count
    Mike Clevinger allowed one run over 3 1/3 innings on Thursday for Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Clevinger built up his workload to 60 pitches in this one and figures to be an option for Chicago’s starting rotation at some point in early May. The 33-year-old veteran righty, who re-signed with the White Sox earlier this month on a one-year, $3 million pact, simply isn’t relevant for fantasy managers at this stage of his career.

  • Vaughn Grissom unlikely to return this weekend
    Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts on Thursday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Thursday that it’s unlikely Grissom will return this weekend, but added that he’s getting close to making his season debut. The 23-year-old infielder figures to take over as Boston’s everyday second baseman upon arrival. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago

  • Jonny DeLuca (hand) starts rehab assignment
    Jonny DeLuca (hand) went 0-for-4 with an RBI on Thursday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: DeLuca has been out since early March due to a fractured right hand, so it’s a positive sign that he’s back in minor league games, and could be ready to make his Rays debut at some point in early May. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
     
  • Junior Caminero exits AAA game early on Thursday
    Rays 3B/SS prospect Junior Caminero made an early exit from Thursday’s game at Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Caminero returned to minor league game action last week from a left quad strain, so his departure is a bit concerning since it came immediately following a fourth-inning double. There should be an update on the 20-year-old top prospect’s status at some point in the coming days. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Clayton Beeter strikes out eight Thursday at AAA
    Yankees RHP prospect Clayton Beeter struck out eight and allowed two runs over five innings on Thursday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Beeter made New York’s season-opening roster as a reliever, but only wound up making one appearance before heading back to the minors. The 25-year-old righty has notched at least five strikeouts in each of his four starts this season at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Tosses scoreless frame
    Sborz threw a scoreless ninth inning in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Seattle.

    Advice: Sborz, who was activated off the injured list Thursday, retired the side in order, needing just nine pitches. He was placed on the IL due to a shoulder injury April 7 after just three appearances. The back end of the bullpen has changed since then -- Kirby Yates replaced Jose Leclerc as the closer -- but Sborz should remain part of the setup group. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
