    • Expects to avoid injured list
      Kepler said after being removed from Thursday's game against the Rays because of neck spasms that he expects to avoid the injured list, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

      Advice: Kepler revealed that he actually felt his neck spasming in the on-deck circle before his first plate appearance and made a decision not to swing the bat, which is why he attempted to bunt twice. He was pulled from the game following a headfirst slide into first base while trying to beat out a bunt. While it's unclear whether Kepler will be ready to play Friday in Oakland, he can be considered day-to-day. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:10 am

    • Max Kepler leaves game Thursday with neck spasms
      Max Kepler was removed from Thursday’s game against the Rays due to neck spasms.

      Advice: Kepler suffered the injury on an ill-advised head-first slide into first base with two outs in the opening frame. The 31-year-old will likely receive some additional testing and treatment in the coming days. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:54 pm

    • Dealing with neck spasms
      Kepler exited Thursday's game against the Rays because of neck spasms, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Kepler tweaked his neck while sliding into first base when he attempted to bunt for a hit in the first inning. He should be considered day-to-day for now, but the Twins could provide more information on Kepler's status after the game. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:31 am

    • Knocks in three runs Wednesday
      Higashioka went 1-for-4 with a triple and three RBI in a 5-2 win against Philadelphia on Wednesday.

      Advice: Higashioka's bases-loaded triple in the eighth inning provided the winning margin for San Diego in the road victory. It was the first three-bagger of the catcher's career. Higashioka has just one hit over his past 12 at-bats, but prior to that he homered in three straight games, and he has racked up seven RBI through 10 games in June.

    • Cubs designate Yan Gomes for assignment
      Cubs designated C Yan Gomes for assignment.

      Advice: He’ll probably catch on somewhere, but Gomes, who was batting .154/.179/.242 in 96 plate appearances, has looked pretty much done at age 36, even though he was still a perfectly fine starter just one year ago. Maybe the Phillies will want him as a steady hand while J.T. Realmuto is out. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:30 am
       
    • Loses roster spot
      The Cubs designated Gomes for assignment Wednesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Chicago has signed Tomas Nido to take Gomes' roster spot and serve as the primary backup to top catcher Miguel Amaya. Gomes, who turns 37 years old in July, has a dreadful .421 OPS and 37.5-percent strikeout rate over 33 games this season. He's making $6 million in 2024, and the Cubs will have to eat the remainder of that salary after Gomes clears waivers. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:58 am
       
    • Report: Cubs replacing Yan Gomes with Tomás Nido
      The Cubs are designating Yan Gomes for assignment and signing Tomás Nido to replace him, according to Bleacher Nation’s Michael Cerami.

      Advice: The end can come quickly sometimes. The usually solid Gomes actually performed a little better than his career norms at age 35 last season, but he’s really slipped both offensively and defensively this year. Nido won’t help with the offense, but he is an excellent defender and he might cut into Miguel Amaya’s playing time some. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:40 am
       
    • Returns to action
      Heim went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Mets.

      Advice: Heim returned from a paternity leave Tuesday and was back in the lineup as the catcher. He's batting .235/.278/.341 with six home runs, 31 RBI, one steal and 22 runs scored over 241 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:37 am
