  • Bryan Ramos tallies two hits in White Sox’ win
    Bryan Ramos went 2-for-4 Thursday, leading the White Sox to a 3-2 win over the Guardians.

    Advice: It’s pretty remarkable that Ramos is excelling considering that he skipped Triple-A entirely to make the leap to the big leagues earlier this month. The 22-year-old prospect is off to a sizzling-hot start, batting .389 (7-for-18) with a pair of RBI through six contests. He doesn’t project as a significant fantasy contributor at this stage of his career, but he’s doing more than enough to show that he can hold his own right now in the majors. Rotoworld Today, 8:05 pm

  • José Ramírez goes deep in loss to White Sox
    José Ramírez slugged a solo homer on Thursday in the Guardians’ loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: Ramírez and Josh Naylor went deep off veteran reliever John Brebbia in the eighth inning, but it wasn’t enough to spark Cleveland to a late rally at Guaranteed Rate Field. It was his eighth round-tripper of the season and third time he’s left the yard in his last five contests. Rotoworld Today, 8:04 pm
     
  • Does fielding drills
    Bryant (back) did infield drills and hit in the batting cage prior to the Rockies' game against the Giants on Wednesday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

    Advice: Bryant has progressed slowly since landing on the injured list, and it has since been disclosed that he has disc and arthritis issues in his lower back. He took a step forward Wednesday, making his first participation in baseball activities since being sidelined. Manager Bud Black noted that Bryant will likely need a rehab assignment, meaning there's a good chance he won't be activated until at least late May. Rotowire.com Today, 8:00 pm

  • Promoted to majors
    Paris was recalled from Double-A Rocket City on Thursday.

    Advice: With both Brandon Drury (hamstring) and Luis Rengifo (illness) sidelined, the Angels were shorthanded along the infield. Paris boasts enough defensive versatility to help the team in that regard, as he is capable of playing second base and shortstop as well as in the outfield. His ability to contribute as a hitter is far less clear, as he was striking out at a 39.1 percent clip across 92 plate appearances with Rocket City prior to his promotion.

  • Sidelined by illness
    Rengifo (illness) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Rengifo has been held out of the lineup for five straight games with the illness, so his stint on the injured list will be retroactive to May 6. Kyren Paris was recalled from Double-A Rocket City in a corresponding move and should take over in a utility role while Rengifo is sidelined. Rotowire.com Today, 6:40 pm

  • Angels recall shortstop Kyren Paris on Thursday
    Angels recalled INF Kyren Paris from Double-A Rocket City.

    Advice: Paris provides Los Angeles with some emergency infield depth with both Luis Rengifo (viral infection) and Brandon Drury (hamstring) hitting the injured list. The 22-year-old shortstop got into 15 games last year for the Angels. Rotoworld Today, 6:32 pm
     
  • Luis Rengifo (viral infection) lands on 10-day IL
    Angels placed INF Luis Renfigo on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 6, with a viral infection.

    Advice: Rengifo finally heads to the injured list following a five-game absence due to a viral infection. The 27-year-old infielder should be ready to return when first eligible to be activated later next week. Rotoworld Today, 6:28 pm

  • Yordan Alvarez goes deep in win over Yankees
    Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer on Thursday, powering the Astros to a 4-3 victory over the Yankees.

    Advice: Alvarez kicked off the scoring in the opening frame by taking Yankees starter Marcus Stroman deep for his eighth round-tripper of the season. It was the first time he’s left the yard since a two-homer explosion back on April 27, snapping a nine-game homerless drought. The 26-year-old four-category fantasy superstar is batting .245/.325/.448 with 21 runs scored, eight homers and 19 RBI through 163 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 5:07 pm
