  • Heads back to Triple-A
    The Guardians optioned Manzardo to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

    Advice: Manzardo was brought up from Triple-A on May 6 and served mostly as a part-time starter during his first stint in the big leagues, slashing .207/.241/.329 with a 26.4 percent strikeout rate over 87 plate appearances. He'll head back to Triple-A to pick up more consistent playing time. Third baseman Jose Ramirez (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 11:16 am

  • Guardians option Kyle Manzardo to Triple-A
    Guardians optioned 1B Kyle Manzardo to Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Manzardo is heading back to Triple-A with Jose Ramirez activated off the paternity list. The 23-year-old struggled in his 30 games with the Guardians with a .207 average and .571 OPS while striking out 23 times in 82 at-bats. There’s some long-term potential in Manzardo’s bat, but he may not get a chance again for a little while. Rotoworld Today, 11:11 am

  • Mariners activate Ty France (heel) off injured list
    Mariners activated INF Ty France off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: France missed just the minimum time on the injured list despite suffering a fractured heel. Interestingly, the Mariners aren’t sending Tyler Locklear — France’s replacement — to Tacoma as the corresponding transaction, but instead designated catcher Seby Zavala for assignment. The question now is what kind of role Locklear will have, as France is expected to resume the regular role as starting first baseman. Rotoworld Today, 9:33 am
     
  • Back from injured list
    The Mariners activated France (heel) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: France missed the minimum 10 days with a right heel fracture and will skip a rehab assignment, going right back onto the Mariners' 26-man active roster. Tyler Locklear has been filling in at first base for France and remains on the roster, but France should go back to seeing the bulk of the starts at first base for Seattle.

  • Three hits in big win
    Vientos went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Rangers.

    Advice: The 24-year-old snapped out of an offensive swoon that had seen him bat .188 (6-for-32) over the prior 10 games. Vientos has a hammerlock on the starting job at third base for the Mets -- since returning to the majors in mid-May, he's slashing .292/.360/.494 with four homers and 14 RBI in 26 contests. His defense has even gotten more reliable, as he's committed only one error during that stretch and has a minus-2.9 UZR/150 through 206.1 innings at the hot corner, a huge improvement on the minus-13.4 UZR/150 he managed in 153 innings last year.

  • Nearing rehab assignment
    Bae (wrist) participated in live batting practice Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bae has also resumed defensive work. Manager Derek Shelton indicated that Bae is close to beginning a rehab assignment, meaning he should be activated from the injured list prior to the end of June barring any setbacks. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 am

  • Clubs ninth homer
    Schneider went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: The 25-year-old took Nick Pivetta deep in the seventh inning, but Toronto was in a 7-2 hole at that point. Schneider has been struggling in June, slashing .170/.224/.302 through 16 games, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him moved down in the order from his usual spot hitting first or second. On the season, he's batting .225 with nine homers, three steals, 31 runs and 34 RBI in 65 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 7:37 am
     
  • Three hits in Monday's loss
    Clement went 3-for-4 in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Getting the nod at third base and batting eighth, the utility infielder out together his fourth straight multi-hit performance in a starting role. Clement's gone 9-for-13 over that blistering stretch with three doubles, a homer, two RBI and three runs as he takes advantage of Bo Bichette's absence to due to a calf issue. Even when Bichette is cleared to return, Clement's hot streak will likely keep him in the starting lineup for a Blue Jays squad scrambling to find offense wherever it can. Rotowire.com Today, 7:32 am

  • Will be out beyond minimum 10 days
    Baez (spine) is without a precise timeline to return from the injured list, but the Tigers are preparing for him to miss more than the minimum 10 days, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Baez's stint on the IL is retroactive to June 9, making him eligible for activation at any point after Tuesday. However, the Tigers don't seem eager to rush Baez back from lumbar spine inflammation, especially after the shortstop had dealt with back pain for much of last season. Baez visited a doctor in Florida this past weekend and received an injection in his back to alleviate the inflammation, and if the shot took the desired effect, he could be cleared to take the first meaningful step forward in his recovery by resuming baseball activities at some point later this week, per MLB.com. Zach McKinstry and Ryan Kreidler have formed a platoon at shortstop since Baez went on the shelf. Rotowire.com Today, 7:28 am
