  • Optioned to Sacramento
    The Giants optioned Schmitt to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Schmitt will lose his spot on the big-league roster with Jorge Soler (shoulder) returning from the injured list Friday. Schmitt went just 3-for-22 and drove in one RBI during his brief stint in the majors, though he may return to San Francisco if the Giants need to rely on their organizational infield depth again later this season.

  • Giants option Casey Schmitt back to Triple-A
    Giants optioned INF Casey Schmitt to Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: Once again, the 25-year-old infielder’s stay at the big league level was short-lived this time around. Schmitt went just 3-for-22 (.136) with one RBI and a 5/0 K/BB ratio in his six games with the Giants this time around. He’ll continue to bide his time at Triple-A until he’s called upon once more.

  • Jorge Polanco (hamstring) could need IL stint
    Jorge Polanco (hamstring) remains out of the Mariners’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Orioles.

    Advice: There had been an expectation that the 30-year-old second baseman would be ready to return on Friday night after three straight days off, but alas it was not to be. The Mariners are now saying that he may miss the entire series against the Orioles and could wind up requiring a trip to the injured list. Stay tuned. Josh Rojas will slide over and cover second base in his absence on Friday while Luis Urias starts at the hot corner. Rotoworld Today, 2:51 pm

  • Homer, three RBI in win
    Triolo went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Triolo opened the scoring in the third inning with a two-run shot off Kyle Hendricks before driving in a third run with a base hit in the fourth. It's the first multi-hit game since May 3 for Triolo -- he'd gone just 2-for-30 in his prior 10 contests. The 26-year-old infielder is now slashing .201/.291/.257 with two homers, 15 RBI, eight runs scored and three steals through 41 games this season. With Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) set to resume baseball activities early next week, Triolo could soon be headed back to a bench role. Rotowire.com Today, 2:47 pm

  • Jared Triolo homers as part of three-RBI day
    Jared Triolo delivered a two-run homer and an RBI single against the Cubs on Friday.

    Advice: Ke’Bryan Hayes’ back injury gave Triolo a reprieve when Nick Gonzales was called up, but Gonzales is performing well so far (.824 OPS) and Triolo will need more of this if he’s going to stick around after Hayes returns. Triolo entered the day having gone hitless in his last four games and having collected only three extra-base hits in 161 plate appearances on the season. He’s at .201/.291/.257 overall.

  • White Sox option Braden Shewmake to Triple-A
    White Sox optioned INF Braden Shewmake to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: With Corey Julks joining the active roster on Friday, the White Sox needed to clear a spot for him and it looks like Shewmake was the odd-man out this time around. The speedy 26-year-old infielder hit just .125/.134/.203 with a homer, four RBI and five stolen bases in 67 plate appearances at the big league level. Rotoworld Today, 2:13 pm

  • Nationals option Trey Lipscomb back to Triple-A
    Nationals optioned INF Trey Lipscomb to Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: The 23-year-old became an unfortunate roster casualty on Friday with Joey Gallo (shoulder) returning from the injured list. In 122 plate appearances with the Nats, Lipscomb hit .252/.331/.290 with a homer, nine RBI, 10 stolen bases and a 20/11 K/BB ratio. It shouldn’t take him long to earn another chance at the big league level. Rotoworld Today, 2:07 pm
     
  • White Sox activate Danny Mendick from 10-day IL
    White Sox activated INF/OF Danny Mendick from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The versatile 30-year-old will rejoin the White Sox’ roster with Bryan Ramos (quad) heading to the injured list on Friday. In his limited action with the big league club this season, Mendick has hit .256/.293/.410 with one homer, three RBI and one stolen base in just 39 at-bats. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld Today, 2:00 pm
     
  • White Sox place Bryan Ramos (quad) on 10-day IL
    White Sox placed INF Bryan Ramos on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain.

    Advice: The 22-year-old rookie third baseman suffered the injury during Tuesday’s game and wasn’t progressing as quickly as the White Sox had hoped, so he wound up requiring a trip on the injured list. Danny Mendick was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 1:58 pm
