  • Goes on IL with illness
    The Nationals placed Garcia on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 21, with the flu, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: There's been a bug going around the Nationals' clubhouse and Garcia got it bad enough to force an IL stint. He'll be eligible to return May 7 and seems likely to be back at that time. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Absence continues Tuesday
    Devers (knee) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Cleveland, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: The expectation was that Devers would return to action Tuesday versus the Guardians coming off Monday's team off day, but he'll instead be out of the lineup for the fifth straight game due to the bone bruise on his left knee. It's unclear if the 27-year-old suffered some sort of setback, but he should continue to be considered day-to-day for now. Pablo Reyes is starting at the hot corner and batting ninth.

  • Designated for assignment
    The Nationals designated Alu for assignment Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Alu at one point looked like a good bet to carve out a super utility role with the big club, but he posted just a .571 OPS in the majors last season and had an even-worse .537 OPS this year at Triple-A Rochester. The 27-year-old could still draw some interest via trade or waivers from a club looking to add versatility. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Rafael Devers not in lineup for Red Sox Tuesday
    Rafael Devers (knee) is not in the starting lineup for the Red Sox against the Guardians on Tuesday.

    Advice: This past weekend, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters that Devers could return to the lineup on Tuesday, but that’s not the case. The 27-year-old is still dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee and it looks like the Red Sox are being extra cautious with him. Pablo Reyes will be at third base for Boston.

  • Out with strained hamstring
    The Red Sox placed Heineman on the 10-day injured list Monday, retroactive to April 22, with a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: Heineman evidently must have suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Pirates. He'll be eligible to return in early May but isn't a given to be back on the big-league roster once he's healthy, as the Red Sox might send him to Triple-A Worcester instead.

  • Reinstated, in lineup Tuesday
    The Red Sox reinstated O'Neill (concussion) from the 7-day injured list, and he's batting third as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Guardians, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: The veteran outfielder will end up missing only the 7-day minumum after he suffered a concussion in a collision with Rafael Devers (knee) last week. O'Neill has been one of the best hitters in baseball early in 2024 with seven homers and a 1.209 OPS in 61 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Red Sox place Tyler Heineman on 10-day IL
    Red Sox placed Tyler Heineman on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 22, with a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: The 32-year-old will be sidelined for about one to two weeks and likely head back down to the minors when he was healthy. The 32-year-old was called up on Sunday to replace Triston Casas and unfortunately is the latest victim to the injury woes in Boston. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to minors
    The Reds optioned Legumina to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

    Advice: Legumina was up for just one day and yielded two runs over two innings of work in an appearance Monday. He's clearing out to make room for Sam Moll's return from the injured list. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Activated from injured list
    The Reds activated Moll (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Moll has been out all season with a left shoulder issue and had experienced a little setback earlier this month, but he's been cleared to rejoin the Reds' bullpen after allowing six runs with a 6:2 K:BB over 7.1 rehab innings. The southpaw earned high-leverage work with the Reds last season, but he'll probably be eased into such situations initially this year. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
