  • Sent down to Triple-A
    Martini was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

    Advice: Martini will move to Louisville despite batting .258 with a home run and seven runs scored over nine games upon being called up from Triple-A on May 22. He'll be replaced on the active roster by outfielder Blake Dunn, whose contract was selected from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Nick Martini heading back to Triple-A Louisville
    Reds optioned OF Nick Martini to Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Martini continues to make the short trip from Louisville to Cincinnati and back on a consistent basis. In this case, he’ll return to Triple-A with Blake Dunn called up in the corresponding transaction. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
     
  • Shifted to 60-day IL
    Atlanta transferred Matzek (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta

    Advice: The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Brian Anderson, who signed a one-year deal with the club. Matzek has been sidelined for nearly a month with left elbow inflammation and now won't be eligible to return for at least another month. Rotowire.com Today, 10:03 am
     
  • Lands on injured list
    Bae was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with an unspecified injury, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazettereports.

    Advice: Bae presumably suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, during which he went 1-for-5 with a strikeout. It's unclear how long the 24-year-old will be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the active roster June 13. Jack Suwinski was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move and should see regularly playing time going forward, especially since outfielder Michael Taylor was also placed on the paternity list Tuesday.

  • Back in majors, will start Tuesday
    The Pirates recalled Davis from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Manager Derek Shelton confirmed that Davis will draw the start at catcher Tuesday against the Dodgers in the 24-year-old's return to the big leagues. He should ultimately split starts behind the dish with veteran Yasmani Grandal. Davis was optioned in early May after a dreadful start to the season, but he rebounded at Indianapolis by slashing .296/.436/.642 with seven home runs in 23 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 9:49 am

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Pirates recalled Peguero from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Peguero was a somewhat surprising exclusion from the Pirates' Opening Day roster and wound up spending a couple months at Indianapolis before getting another shot with the big club. He's slashed .272/.341/.387 this year with Indianapolis, hitting two home runs and stealing five bases. Peguero will back up at both middle infield spots. Rotowire.com Today, 9:44 am

  • Marlins officially designate Garcia for assignment
    Marlins activated OF Avisail Garcia off the 10-day injured list and designated him for assignment.

    Advice: Garcia is now off the 40-man roster, and he’ll all but assuredly either be released or elect free agency after he goes unclaimed. The Marlins will be on the hook for close to $25 million to Garcia. He’ll be free to join another team, but it likely will be on a minor-league pact. Rotoworld Today, 9:41 am
     
  • Goes on paternity leave
    The Pirates placed Taylor on the paternity list Tuesday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Taylor will likely miss the entirety of the three-game series against the Dodgers before returning for the Pirates' weekend series versus the Twins. With Ji Hwan Bae (undisclosed) also headed to the injured list, the Pirates have brought back Jack Suwinski from Triple-A Indianapolis. Rotowire.com Today, 9:41 am
     
  • Swipes bag in start
    Azocar went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Angels.

    Advice: Azocar has gotten limited opportunities to play this season, but he made consecutive starts Sunday and Monday with the Padres facing a left-handed starter. He chipped in a double, a run, a walk and a steal over the pair of outings to make his presence felt. However, Azocar was pinch-hit for in the ninth inning Monday and is slashing a meager .234/.290/.266 over 70 plate appearances on the campaign, so he's likely to continue to work mostly as a pinch hitter/runner and defensive replacement.
