  • Josh Lowe (oblique) nearing return to Rays
    Josh Lowe (oblique) told reporters on Friday that his rehab is going great and that he feels that he’s ready to be activated from the injured list as soon as the Rays decide to do so.

    Advice: The dynamic 26-year-old outfielder has played in six games during his minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham, hitting .227/.346/.364 with a homer, five RBI and a 10/4 K/BB ratio over 26 plate appearances. It sounds like he could be back with the big league club any day now. Rotoworld 5 minutes ago
  • Optioned to El Paso
    The Padres optioned Batten to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

    Advice: Batten didn't appear in a game during his latest stint in the big leagues, and he will now return to the minors as Machado returns from paternity leave. Batten is slashing .224/.318/.293 across 66 plate appearances at Triple-A. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
  • Fans nine over seven scoreless
    Lugo (4-1) earned the win Friday in Detroit after he struck out nine and allowed three hits and two walks across even scoreless innings.

    Advice: The right-hander generated 13 swinging strikes on 103 pitches as he and Detroit starter Reese Olson combined to give up just a single run in 14 frames. The swing-and-miss stuff from Lugo was a welcome sight after he posted a 4.1 K/9 through his first five starts of the season. The beginning of Lugo's tenure in Kansas City couldn't have gone much better, as he has a 1.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 38 innings. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
  • Starting at third base Friday
    Machado (personal) was added to the active roster Friday. He is starting at third base while hitting in the cleanup spot for Friday's game against the Phillies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Machado was placed on the paternity list Monday and ended up missing the Padres' last four games. What's notable about Friday's game is that Machado is starting at third base for the first time since getting surgery on his right elbow in October, while Graham Pauley serves as the designated hitter. Machado's return is a welcome one with rookie Jackson Merrill missing his second straight game due to a lingering groin issue. Machado is slashing .260/.324/.417 with four home runs and 12 RBI over 105 plate appearances to start the season. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
  • Hamstring partially torn
    Rendon said Friday that he has a high-grade partial tear of his left hamstring, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Rendon landed on the injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain, but it appears his injury is more severe than the Angels initially thought. There is no timetable in place for his return, but he will certainly be sidelined for longer than the 10-day minimum. Miguel Sano been serving as Los Angeles' primary third baseman since Rendon got injured and should continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
