  • Exits with injury
    Sanchez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays with an apparent hamstring injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Sanchez was grabbing at his hamstring after beating a throw to first base during the first inning, and he was quickly taken out of the game by a trainer. The severity of his injury isn't immediately apparent, but the Brewers will take a closer look at him in the clubhouse and should provide more information relatively soon.

  • Alek Manoah strikes out 12 in Triple-A start
    Alek Manoah (shoulder) recorded 12 strikeouts and allowed one run over six innings on Tuesday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: With a spot in Toronto’s starting rotation seemingly up for grabs with Yariel Rodríguez (back) landing on the injured list on Tuesday evening, Manoah turned in his best outing in recent memory, allowing just four baserunners over six impressive frames. His fastball velocity was back up into the mid-90’s and he generated 19 swinging strikes, including 13 on his slider alone, finishing with an elite 45 percent CSW. He figures to take the ball on Sunday against the Nationals, barring something unexpected. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Paul Skenes twirls six shutout frames at Triple-A
    Pirates RHP prospect Paul Skenes struck out seven over six shutout innings on Tuesday for Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: Skenes touched triple digits 13 times, averaging 99.8 mph on his four-seam fastball, and needed just 75 pitches (53 strikes) to complete six frames for the first time in his professional career. He generated 11 swinging strikes and finished with a 31 percent CSW, allowing only five baserunners over six dominant innings. We’re not sure what else Pittsburgh’s front office needs to see at this juncture. The 21-year-old top pitching prospect boasts a microscopic 0.39 ERA and 41/6 K/BB ratio across 23 innings (six starts). It’s time. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
     
  • 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.

  • Making second rehab start
    Clevinger is making a rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: The right-hander threw 60 pitches over 3.1 innings during his first rehab outing Thursday and is expected to build up to around 75 pitches Tuesday. Assuming everything goes well, Clevinger could join the White Sox for his season debut early next week. Rotowire.com Today, 4:02 pm

    Winn isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Detroit, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Winn went 1-for-4 during St. Louis' Game 1 victory, and he'll get a breather to conclude Tuesday's twin bill. Brandon Crawford will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth during the nightcap. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 pm

  • Throwing bullpen session
    Snell (thigh) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Snell landed on the shelf last week with a Grade 2 adductor strain, but he wasn't shut down from throwing for long. The left-hander hopes to spend close to the 15-day minimum on the injured list, though he seems likely to be sidelined a bit longer. A specific timeline for Snell's return could come into focus as he ramps up his throwing program. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 pm
     
  • Idle versus lefty
    Carpenter isn't in the Tigers' lineup versus the Cardinals for the last game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: The Cardinals are starting southpaw Steven Matz on the bump for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, which sends Carpenter to the bench. With him on the bench, Wenceel Perez will occupy right field and bat seventh. Additionally, Mark Canha has the start as the designated hitter and will bat third. Rotowire.com Today, 3:33 pm

  • Idle against lefty
    Suwinski isn't starting Tuesday against the Athletics, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
