  • Sitting third straight
    Kepler (neck) isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Neck spasms will cause Kepler to miss his third game in a row Sunday, though he still doesn't seem to be trending toward a trip to the injured list. Manuel Margot will pick up another start in right field and bat leadoff. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Sitting against lefty
    Larnach isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game versus the Athletics.

    Advice: Larnach and his career .569 OPS against lefties will take a seat Sunday against left-handed starter Hogan Harris. Willi Castro will fill the opening in left field while Kyle Farmer starts at the keystone, batting eighth. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Transferred to 60-day IL
    The Yankees transferred Burdi (hip) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

    Advice: Burdi's move to the 60-day injured list is to make room on the 40-man roster for J.D. Davis, who the Yankees acquired from the Athletics on Sunday. Burdi was placed on the 15-day injured list May 24 due to right hip inflammation. He received a platet-rich injection for the injury June 2, but he hasn't been cleared to start throwing. Burdi appeared in 12 games before landing on the injured list, registering a 1.86 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 9.2 innings. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Headed to Oakland
    Groshans was traded by the Yankees to the Athletics in exchange for J.D. Davis and cash considerations.

    Advice: After beginning the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Groshans was moved to Double-A Somerset, where he was slashing .234/.302/.316 with eight RBI over 121 plate appearances before the trade. The 23-year-old Groshans hasn't seen major-league actuion since 2022 with the Marlins, and he will look to get back to The Show with the Athletics. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Outrighted to Louisville
    Capel cleared waivers Sunday and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Capel was booted off Cincinnati's 40-man roster Friday, and he will officially remain with the organization rather than deciding to test his luck in free agency. The 27-year-old outfielder is slashing .221/.365/.435 with 21 RBI through 192 plate appearances in Triple-A this season and may rejoin the Reds later in the summer if outfield depth becomes a problem for the big-league club.

  • Reds outright Conner Capel to Triple-A
    Reds sent OF Conner Capel outright to Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Capel passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will remain with Cincinnati as extra organizational outfield depth moving forward. The 27-year-old outfielder went 2-for-8 with a stolen base in five games during a brief stint with the Reds. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
     
  • Acquired by Yankees
    The Yankees acquired J.D. Davis and cash considerations from the Athletics in exchange for Jordan Groshans.

    Advice: After seeing his playing time steadily decrease, Davis was DFA'd by the Athletics on June 17. With the trade Sunday, it marks the third organization Davis has been on this season after he was released by the Giants in March. He appeared in 39 games for the Athletics before being designated for assignment, slashing .236/.304/.366 with four home runs and five RBI over 135 plate appearances. To make room for Davis on the 40-man roster, right-hander Nick Burdi (hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Cubs release catcher Yan Gomes
    Cubs released C Yan Gomes.

    Advice: Gomes went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will head to free agency in search of a new opportunity. The 36-year-old veteran backstop should be able to latch on somewhere as a backup catching option for the remainder of the year. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Getting Sunday off
    Higashioka isn't in the Padres' lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: After hitting a two-run home run en route to a win Saturday, Higashioka will take a seat for Sunday's series finale while Brett Sullivan gets the nod behind home plate. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
