  • Recalled from Sacramento
    The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

    Advice: With Nick Ahmed (wrist) headed for the injured list, Schmitt will come up from the minors to serve as replacement infield depth. The 25-year-old has spent all of 2024 with Sacramento, slashing .269/.313/.440 with 31 RBI across 147 plate appearances, and he will likely be used primarily off the bench while with the big-league club.

  • Headed to IL
    The Giants placed Ahmed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left wrist sprain.

    Advice: Ahmed appeared to have sustained the injury on an awkward swing during his at-bat in the third inning in Thursday's game against Atlanta. Tyler Fitzgerald pinch hit for Ahmed in the fourth inning. Casey Schmitt, who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move, is starting at shortstop and batting seventh for Friday's game against the Reds, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

  • Dealing with back problems
    Adrianza said Friday that he has experienced issues with his lower back, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: It's uncertain whether or not Adrianza will require a trip to the injured list, but he said he received an MRI on Friday, which should help determine how long he may be out for. The 34-year-old has played in eight games since joining the Angels in late April, slashing .192/.250/.346 with two RBI in 28 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
     
  • Sent down Friday
    Williams was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

    Advice: After making the Opening Day roster, Williams produced a .239 batting average with two triples, a double, two RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base over 46 at-bats in 15 games with the Pirates so far in 2024, but he'll now head to Indianapolis. In his place, Nick Gonzales was recalled from Triple-A and will likely see most of his work at second base moving forward. Rotowire.com Today, 2:15 pm
     
  • Cubs place Dansby Swanson (knee) on 10-day IL
    Cubs placed INF Dansby Swanson on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 8, with a right knee sprain.

    Advice: Swanson sat out of Wednesday’s contest due to soreness in his knee, and now he’ll be out for at least an additional week while recovering. Fortunately, the Cubs also got good news on the injury front on Friday with Seiya Suzuki being activated from the injured list in a corresponding move. Expect Nico Hoerner to slide over and cover shortstop while Swanson is shelved, leaving Miles Mastrobuoni to see increased action at second base. Rotoworld Today, 1:49 pm
     
  • Placed on 10-day IL
    Swanson (right knee sprain) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 8, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Swanson missed Wednesday's game against the Padres with knee soreness stemming from an awkward slide that occurred on April 25, and the injury has now been deemed a right knee sprain. Nico Hoerner slotted in at shortstop Wednesday while Miles Mastrobuoni got the start at second -- a change that could be the norm while Swanson sits. The shortstop will first be eligible to return May 18 Rotowire.com Today, 1:45 pm

  • Not starting against Yanks
    Rosario is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: The 28-year-old infielder has been the go-to second basemen for Tampa Bay recently as they've been dealing with an injured Brandon Lowe (oblique), but Rosario will start from the dugout Friday. He currently sports a .301 average with 15 RBI, and Richie Palacios will get the start at second base and will bat seventh in the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 12:33 pm

  • On base three times in win
    Hampson went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Hampson was one of five Royals with a multi-hit effort in the high-scoring win. The utility man continues to play in a short-side platoon role in center field, though he's also often entered off the bench this season due to his versatility. He's hit well when given the chance, batting .268 with no home runs, two doubles, three RBI, five runs scored and four steals over 43 plate appearances. Kyle Isbel continues to handle the majority of the playing time in center. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 am
