• J.P. Crawford (oblique) activated by Mariners
    Mariners activated SS J.P. Crawford from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Crawford’s pregame workout today was impressive enough to get him back on the roster tonight after his absence due to an oblique strain and a subsequent bruised hand, but he won’t return to the starting lineup until tomorrow. Dylan Moore will return to his utility role then after spending the last 3 1/2 weeks as a starting shortstop. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago
  • Mariners send Leo Rivas back to Triple-A
    Mariners optioned INF Leo Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Not given much of a chance with Dylan Moore playing well at shortstop, Rivas went 2-for-6 with a triple in 25 days with the Mariners. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago
  • Bo Bichette goes 4-for-4, doubles three times
    Bo Bichette finished 4-for-4 with three doubles against the White Sox on Monday.

    Advice: The first double should have been an out, but the last two were legit. Those two and the single were all hit at least 105 mph, making this easily Bichette’s best exit-velocity day of the season. It was definitely an encouraging showing, even if it was aided by some meatballs from the White Sox staff. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
  • Paul DeJong goes 3-for-4, hits seventh homer
    Paul DeJong went 3-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and a steal against the Blue Jays on Monday.

    Advice: Given his current approach, it almost seems like an accident whenever DeJong finishes an at-bat without a strikeout or a homer. Consequently, this was the third time in 42 games this season that he’d picked up multiple singles in a game. Still, he’s been one of the White Sox’s best players in hitting .246/.295/.462.

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Mariners optioned Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rivas has been up with the big club for nearly four weeks but has hardly played, accruing just six plate appearances. He'll see more regular action back a Tacoma. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
  • Activated but not starting Monday
    The Mariners activated Crawford (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Mariners put Crawford through a full pregame workout Monday, which is surely the reason why he's not in the lineup. He will be available off the bench, though, before likely returning to the starting nine Tuesday. Dylan Moore will handle shortstop again Monday. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
  • Homers, steals base in loss
    DeJong went 3-for-4 with a homer, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's loss to Toronto.

    Advice: DeJong cracked his seventh home run of the season in the fourth inning, hitting it 402 feet to center. The Chicago shortstop has enjoyed a hot start to May, hitting .288 (17-for-59) with four homers, 12 runs scored and eight RBI this month. Overall, DeJong is now slashing .246/.295/.462 in 139 plate appearances while playing shortstop every day for the White Sox. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
  • On bench for Game 2
    Merrill is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader in Atlanta.

    Advice: Merrill started in center field in Game 1 and went 1-for-4 with two RBI, as he brought home San Diego's first two runs on a groundout and a single. Jose Azocar will take over in center field for the nightcap. Rotowire.com Today, 2:43 pm

  • Mets release Joey Wendle
    Mets released INF Joey Wendle.

    Advice: Wendle was designated for assignment last week after hitting .222/.243/.250 in 37 plate appearances for the Mets. He’ll probably resurface with another club this summer, though he might have to take a minor league deal initially. Rotoworld Today, 2:31 pm
