  • Placed on injured list
    The Angels placed Trout on the 10-day injured list 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.

  • Signs with Halos
    Pillar signed a one-year, $740,000 contract with the Angels on Tuesday.

    Advice: Pillar elected to become a free agent Sunday after being DFA'd by the White Sox, and he'll now quickly find work with the Angels on a major-league deal. The 35-year-old slashed .160/.290/.360 across 32 plate appearances with the White Sox, and he'll give Los Angeles' outfield additional depth with Mike Trout (knee) in line for a long-term absence.

  • Dealing with wrist contusion
    Cooper (wrist) suffered a right wrist contusion in Tuesday's matchup with the Giants, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Cooper was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning, forcing him to be removed from his Red Sox debut early. The 33-year-old is likely set to undergo some additional imaging on his wrist, which will provide a better understanding of his status moving forward. In the meantime, Bobby Dalbec replaced Cooper at first base and would see an extended role in his absence. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
     
  • Exits early versus Giants
    Cooper was hit in the right arm with a pitch and removed from Tuesday's contest with the Giants in the fifth inning, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Cooper was hit in the forearm/wrist with a 94.8 mph sinker from Sean Hjelle in the bottom of the fifth inning, leaving the contest after going 0-for-2 with two strikeouts and the HBP. Bobby Dalbec replaced him at first base, batting seventh for Boston. Rotowire.com Today, 5:34 pm
     
  • Garrett Cooper leaves game after hit by pitch
    Garrett Cooper was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Giants with a right wrist contusion.

    Advice: Cooper was drilled by a pitch on the right wrist and was immediately lifted from his Red Sox debut at Fenway Park. He’ll presumably head for X-rays to determine whether he suffered any fractures. There should be an update on his status following the contest. Rotoworld Today, 5:32 pm
     
  • Gary Sánchez leaves game with hamstring tightness
    Gary Sánchez was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Rays with right hamstring tightness.

    Advice: Sánchez was immediately lifted from the contest after reaching on a fielder’s choice in the opening frame. There should be an update on the severity of the injury following the contest. Any potential extended absence would presumably open up even more at-bats for top prospect Tyler Black moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 5:29 pm
     
  • Exits with injury
    Sanchez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays with right hamstring tightness.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Sitting for nightcap
    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
