  • 2-2-0 4th Place
    • Moves up to leadoff spot
      Young will start in center field and bat leadoff in Friday's game versus the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Young batted leadoff a few times last month, but this is the first time since April 19 that a player other than CJ Abrams has been at the top of the batting order (Abrams is hitting second Friday). The Nationals are facing southpaw Yusei Kikuchi, and the right-handed hitting Young is batting .313/.353/.375 versus lefties this season. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

    • Pops two homers Tuesday
      Greene went 4-for-9 with a double, two home runs and three total RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Greene provided all of Detroit's offense with a solo home run in the first game Tuesday, a 2-1 loss, but he really got going in the nightcap. He collected three hits in the 11-6 win, including a double and another homer, his seventh of the season. The talented young outfielder has pushed his OPS up to a robust .912, and the sky is the limit for Greene the rest of the way if he manages to stay healthy. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:37 pm

    • Riley Greene homers in both games of doubleheader
      Riley Greene went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two RBI to lead the Tigers to an 11-6 win over the Cardinals in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader.

      Advice: Greene homered in both games of Tuesday’s twin bill at Comerica Park and is now up to seven round-trippers on the season. The 23-year-old former top prospect bashed a seventh-inning solo shot off reliever Giovanny Gallegos in the nightcap affair after taking veteran Kyle Gibson deep in the front end of the doubleheader. He’s been a certifiable on-base machine this season and appears to be finally putting it all together at the dish after struggling to stay healthy the last few years. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:55 pm

    • Placed on injured list
      The Angels placed Trout on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a torn meniscus in his left knee.

      Advice: Trout was diagnosed with a torn meniscus Tuesday and will require surgery, so a move to the IL was expected. It's worth noting the 32-year-old superstar was placed on the 10-day IL rather than the 60-day list, which may indicate the Angels expect Trout to bounce back from his procedure relatively quickly.

    • Mike Trout hits IL with left knee meniscus tear
      Angels placed OF Mike Trout on the 10-day injured list with a left knee meniscus tear.

      Advice: Trout is slated to undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. There isn’t a definitive timetable for his return yet, but the expectation is that he’ll return at some point later this season. It’s obviously a colossal loss for the Angels, and fantasy managers. The 32-year-old generational superstar was in the midst of an impressive renaissance campaign, posting a strong .867 OPS with a major league-leading 10 homers and six steals through 29 games. There should be some clarity on his potential return timeline at some point following the knee procedure. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:30 pm

    • Ramping up baseball work
      White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Tuesday that Robert (hip) is taking batting practice and running at 80 percent, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: The 26-year-old is about halfway through the short end of his initial recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks, and he appears to be a bit ahead of schedule. Robert could be ready to rejoin the White Sox in mid-May, but the organization is likely to remain cautious as he ramps up his baseball activities over the next couple weeks.

    • Mike Trout to undergo left knee surgery
      Mike Trout will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Alden González.

      Advice: It’s a devastating development for the Angels, and fantasy managers, as Trout was in the midst of a remarkable renaissance campaign this season with a robust .867 OPS to accompany a major league-leading 10 home runs and six steals through 29 games. Passan and González add that the procedure isn’t expected to be season-ending. However, it appears likely that Trout is going to require an extended absence. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:21 pm

    • Dealing with torn meniscus
      Trout was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee Tuesday and will require surgery, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Trout had started all 29 games for the Angels through the first month of the season, but he'll now be sidelined for the foreseeable future due to the meniscus tear. The 32-year-old doesn't have an official timeline for his return but isn't expected to be in danger of missing the rest of the season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:19 pm

    • Needs knee surgery
      Trout will undergo surgery on his knee in the near future, but the extent of the injury is not clear, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: It's unclear when the injury surfaced for Trout, as he had started all 29 games for the Angels this season. It's also unknown how long the 32-year-old will be sidelined, though the surgery isn't expected to be of the season-ending variety. Trout should be considered out indefinitely until more information is available. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:10 pm
