    • Giants send Jakson Reetz outright to Triple-A
      Giants sent C Jakson Reetz outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

      Advice: As anticipated, the 28-year-old backstop passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to serve as extra catching depth for the Giants at the Triple-A level. Reetz went just 1-for-12 (.083) with a solo homer and four strikeouts during his time with the big league club. Rotoworld Today, 3:40 pm
       
    • Giants outright Ryan McKenna to Triple-A
      Giants sent OF Ryan McKenna outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

      Advice: The 27-year-old outfielder passed through waivers unclaimed and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Sacramento. He’ll continue to function as excess outfield depth for the Giants until he’s called upon once more. Rotoworld Today, 3:38 pm

    • Giants recall Casey Schmitt from Triple-A
      Giants recalled INF Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento.

      Advice: The 25-year-old infielder will get another opportunity with the big league club with Marco Luciano (hamstring) heading to the injured list on Friday. Schmitt has struggled in his limited action this season, hitting just .136 (3-for-22) with one RBI and a 5/0 K/BB ratio. Look for Brett Wisely to see the bulk of the action at shortstop with Luciano shelved. Rotoworld Today, 3:37 pm

    • Giants place Marco Luciano (hamstring) on IL
      Giants placed INF Marco Luciano on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 30, with a right hamstring strain.

      Advice: The 22-year-old infielder suffered the injury during Wednesday’s game. It’s unclear how long he’ll be shelved for. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to take his place on the active roster. Expect Schmitt and Brett Wisely to both see action at shortstop while Luciano is sidelined.

    • Lands on injured list
      The Giants placed Luciano on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Luciano made an early exit from Wednesday's game against the Phillies because of hamstring problems, and he will now officially be sidelined until at least June 10. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move and will presumably work in the short side of a platoon with Brett Wisely while Luciano is out. Rotowire.com Today, 3:34 pm

    • Will start Friday
      Carlson is starting in right field and batting eighth for Friday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: Carlson was originally set to sit Friday, but he was inserted into the lineup after Brendan Donovan was scratched due to neck stiffness. Carlson is hitting .139/.244/.139 since being activated off the injured list due to a left shoulder sprain May 5. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm
       
    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Diamondbacks recalled Cecconi from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

      Advice: With Zac Gallen (hamstring) headed for the 15-day injured list, Cecconi will come up from the minors in order to fill the open spot in Arizona's rotation. The 24-year-old righty has been inconsistent in the majors this season, giving up two runs or less three times but also allowing six earned runs during his other three outings. He threw seven shutout innings while striking out nine batters during his most recent start in the minors, but he remains an extremely risky fantasy option. Rotowire.com Today, 3:10 pm
       
    • Diamondbacks recall Slade Cecconi on Friday
      Diamondbacks recalled RHP Slade Cecconi from Triple-A Reno.

      Advice: He’ll replace the injured Zac Gallen (hamstring) on the team’s active roster. It’s unclear if the Diamondbacks plan to have Cecconi take Gallen’s spot in the rotation, or if he’s just there to provide depth and length in the bullpen for a few days while they sort out their rotation plans. Either way, he can be avoided for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld Today, 3:05 pm
       
    • Santiago Espinal delivers pinch-hit homer in win
      Santiago Espinal hit a two-run homer as a pinch-hitter to help propel the Reds past the Cubs 5-4 on Friday.

      Advice: Espinal hit for Will Benson against lefty Drew Smyly in the seventh and drove the first pitch he saw 385 feet to left-center. It would have been a homer in nine out of the 30 ballparks, says Statcast, Espinal is now batting .202/.261/.303 in 137 plate appearances for the Reds. Rotoworld Today, 2:40 pm
