  • Still not doing on-field work
    Tucker (lower leg) won't play in Saturday's game against Detroit and has yet to participate in on-field activities, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

    Advice: There was initially optimism that Tucker would be able to return from the IL when first eligible Friday, but that doesn't seem imminent. The Astros could keep Tucker out through the weekend and activate him for a three-game road series against the White Sox that kicks off Tuesday if he shows some progress.

  • Kyle Tucker (shin) won’t be ready on Saturday
    Astros’ manager Joe Espada told reporters on Friday that Kyle Tucker (shin) will not be ready to be activated from the injured list on Saturday.

    Advice: While he noted that Tucker is “moving in the right direction” he also admitted that Tucker is not doing baseball activities yet. While a return at some point over the weekend hasn’t been ruled out yet, it seems unlikely if he’s not doing any baseball activities yet. A more likely scenario has the 27-year-old superstar outfielder returning to action next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:10 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
     
  • Stays at shortstop
    Smith started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Smith made another start at shortstop, as the Rangers are being careful with Corey Seager (hamstring). Seager had returned to action Wednesday, serving as the DH, and was originally in Thursday's starting lineup at DH before being scratched. Smith continued to be a surprising contributor for the Rangers; he's gone 19-for-53 (.358) with six extra-base hits, two steals, four RBI and 10 runs scored over the last 15 games.

  • 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
     
  • Hitting bench Thursday
    Hays is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Hays went 4-for-8 with a double, an RBI and a run while starting in left field in the first two games of the series in Atlanta, but he'll take a seat for the finale. With Hays on the bench, the Orioles will roll out an outfield of Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Anthony Santander from left to right. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:15 am
