  • Exits 40-man roster
    Goodrum was designated for assignment by the Rays on Monday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Goodrum had been sent down to Triple-A Durham a few days ago and is now off the 40-man roster. The utility player has a career .685 OPS over parts of seven big-league seasons. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
  • Optioned to minors
    The Rays optioned Mead to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Mead has been given plenty of chances by the Rays this season, but his bat never got going, as he slashed just .218/.269/.276 with one home run and a 23:4 K:BB over 94 plate appearances. The 23-year-old will look to get on track at Durham with the hopes of earning another opportunity later this season. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
  • Heads to 10-day IL
    The Guardians placed Kwan on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Cleveland hasn't disclosed the grade of Kwan's hamstring strain, which he suffered in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Angels. The injury forced him to miss his second game of the season Sunday, and he'll be sidelined through at least May 14 as a result of landing on the IL. The Guardians called up prospect Kyle Manzardo from Triple-A Columbus to take over Kwan's spot on the 26-man active roster, and Manzardo should also inherit an everyday role while the 26-year-old outfielder is on the shelf. Manzardo will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter in Monday's series opener versus the Tigers and will hit seventh, while Estevan Florial will fill in for Kwan in left field and atop the batting order.

  • Activated for season debut
    The Rays activated Lowe (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Lowe originally went on the IL prior to Opening Day with an oblique strain and more recently dealt with a hamstring issue during his minor-league rehab assignment. He's healthy now after resuming his rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham this past Thursday and is finally ready for his 2024 Rays debut following a nearly six-week absence. The 26-year-old had a breakout 2023 campaign with Tampa Bay, hitting 20 home runs and stealing 32 bases. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
  • Rays option Curtis Mead to Triple-A
    Rays optioned INF Curtis Mead to Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: He’ll head down to the minors with Josh Lowe ready to return from the injured list. Mead has batted .218/.269/.276 with one homer and a 23/4 K/BB ratio over 94 plate appearances with the Rays this season. He should get another chance down the line. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
  • Rays activate Josh Lowe (hamstring) from IL
    Rays activated OF Josh Lowe from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Lowe began the season on the IL with an oblique injury and his return briefly delayed due to a hamstring injury, but he’s finally ready to join the Rays’ lineup. He went 4-for-17 (.235) with two homers after resuming his rehab assignment and will now attempt to duplicate (if not surpass) his breakout 2023 campaign. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago

  • Jorge Soler (shoulder) remains out on Monday
    Jorge Soler (shoulder) is not in the Giants lineup on Monday against the Phillies.

    Advice: It’s the second straight missed game for Soler, who is battling shoulder discomfort. It doesn’t seem like a major concern, but it is certainly something to think about for fantasy managers in weekly lineup lock leagues. Lamonte Wade Jr. will DH for the Giants on Monday with Wilmer Flores getting the start at first base against a right-handed pitcher. Tyler Fitzgerald is also playing shortstop as Nick Ahmed gets a regular day off. Rotoworld Today, 10:01 am
