  • Jose Caballero leaves game with illness Friday
    Jose Caballero was removed from Friday’s battle against the Braves in the fourth inning due to illness.

    Advice: Most observers raised an eyebrow when Caballero was replaced by Richie Palacios in the ballgame, but it turns out he was simply feeling a bit under the weather. He’s considered day-to-day and should return to the Rays’ lineup at some point before the weekend is through. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:24 pm
     
  • Sitting again
    Calhoun is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Calhoun will take a seat for a second straight game Friday, with Kevin Pillar playing left field and batting cleanup while Taylor Ward bats third as the DH. Calhoun is 10-for-30 (.333) in June with five walks and two strikeouts. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:45 pm
     
  • Return might come Monday
    Turner (hamstring) could be activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday or Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: While the Phillies have been vague about a timeline for Turner's return, Gelb notes that the shortstop ran again Friday and while he could "maybe" return Sunday, it will "probably" happen Monday instead as Philadelphia begins a six-game homestand. Turner has been shelved since early May with a left hamstring strain and it's looking like he'll skip a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:57 pm

  • Released by Rays
    The Rays released Ramirez on Thursday.

    Advice: Ramirez cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now free to sign with another organization. He's slashed a disappointing .268/.284/.305 this season, but Ramirez carried a career .289/.329/.419 line into 2024, including a .322/.357/.445 performance against left-handed pitching. The 29-year-old may not have much trouble landing a major-league contract. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:21 am
     
  • Moves up in batting order
    Hamilton batted second and went 1-for-5 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 9-3 win over Philadelphia.

    Advice: Hamilton's good stretch of hitting led to him batting second for the second consecutive game against a right-hander, and the shortstop extended his hit streak to five games. Since mid-May, when manager Alex Cora started giving him regular run in the starting lineup, Hamilton has slashed .341/.378/.553 with 11 extra-base hits, nine RBI, 14 runs and 10 steals over 26 contests.

  • Homers, swipes bag in loss
    Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Chisholm gave the Marlins a 2-0 lead with his seventh inning solo shot, but the Mets ultimately rallied for the victory on a J.D. Martinez walk-off blast. The long ball was Chisholm's 10th of the season, and he notched his 13th stolen base in the contest as well. The talented center fielder is one of nine major-leaguers to reach double-digit homers and steals so far this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:36 am
     
  • Chisholm homers, steals base in loss Thursday
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. went 2-for-4 with a home run and a stolen base against the Mets on Thursday.

    Advice: The home run was his 10th and the stolen base was his 13th. He hit a solo shot off Mets reliever Drew Smith in the seventh inning, which gave the Marlins a 2-0 lead. Chisholm is now hitting .254 on the season with 33 RBI. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:55 pm
     
  • Rays officially release outfielder Harold Ramírez
    Rays released OF Harold Ramírez.

    Advice: Ramírez went unclaimed on waivers with no club willing to pick up the remaining portion of his $3.8 million salary for this season and is now officially a free agent. The 29-year-old outfielder was jettisoned from Tampa Bay’s 40-man roster last week after posting a lackluster .589 OPS with one homer and five steals through 48 contests. He shouldn’t have too much trouble latching on elsewhere. Rotoworld Thursday, 4:42 pm
     
  • Getting breather Thursday
    Calhoun isn't in the Angels' lineup for Thursday's game against Arizona, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: After a 2-for-5 performance during the Angels' win Wednesday, Calhoun will take a seat for the series finale Thursday. His absence will move Taylor Ward into the DH spot while Kevin Pillar starts in left field. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:31 pm
