  • Nick Gonzales doubles in loss
    Nick Gonzales went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a stolen base on Friday against the Braves.

    Advice: The double was Gonzales’ first extra-base hit in 12 games after smacking 12 in his first 30 contests this season. He’s still been a regular in the Pirates’ lineup despite the recent lack of power. Rotoworld Friday, 7:09 pm
     
  • Back with Giants
    The Giants recalled Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Thairo Estrada (wrist) headed for the injured list, Fitzgerald will return to San Francisco in order to give the Giants some depth in the infield, though he is also capable of playing in the outfield. The 26-year-old has slashed .273/.333/.409 across 72 plate appearances in the majors and could share reps with Nick Ahmed until Estrada returns. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:00 pm
     
  • Giants recall Tyler Fitzgerald from Triple-A
    Giants recalled INF Tyler Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: With both Thairo Estrada and Wilmer Flores landing on the injured list on Friday night, the Giants had a sudden need for an extra infielder so Fitzgerald gets another shot with the big-league club. The 26-year-old has hit .273/.333/.409 with one homer, four RBI and five stolen bases in 72 plate appearances with the Giants this season. Rotoworld Friday, 5:36 pm
     
  • Riding pine Friday

  • Dropped from 40-man roster
    The Rockies designated Trejo for assignment Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Trejo had seen semi-regular playing time in June while Brendan Rodgers was injured, but he went just 6-for-29 (.207) with four runs and an RBI since the start of the month. Trejo will hand over his spot on the 40-man and 26-man roster to Aaron Schunk, who'll provide some infield depth for the Rockies. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:37 pm

  • Rockies designate Alan Trejo for assignment
    Rockies designated INF Alan Trejo for assignment.

    Advice: Trejo lost his 40-man spot over the winter, only to make the Rockies as non-roster player this spring. Alas, he hit just .143/.182/.143 in 67 plate appearances in his utility role. Trejo is a fine defender, but since he has so little to offer offensively, he’ll probably clear waivers again. Rotoworld Friday, 12:37 pm

  • Guardians recall prospect José Tena on Thursday
    Guardians recalled INF José Tena from Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Tena got a quick 18-game cup of coffee last year in the majors, batting .226 (7-for-31) with three RBI across 34 plate appearances. The 23-year-old infielder gets another look in the big leagues after batting .293/.341/.480 with 14 homers and 10 steals over 326 plate appearances for Triple-A Columbus. It’s unclear how long he’s going to stick around as part of Cleveland’s overcrowded infield mix. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:45 pm
     
  • Not in Thursday's lineup
    Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.

    Advice: The Guardians are opting for Gabriel Arias at shortstop in their series opener against the Royals. Rocchio has been one of the lightest-hitting regulars in baseball this season, slashing an anemic .211/.312/.299. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:00 pm
     
  • Up from Triple-A
    The Guardians recalled Tena from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

    Advice: Tena has spent all season in Triple-A, slashing .290/.337/.477 with 14 homers and 56 RBI across 326 plate appearances. He'll now come up from the minors to give Cleveland some additional infield depth, though he likely won't see many opportunities while in the big leagues. Will Brennan (oblique) was placed on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Thursday, 1:45 pm
