  • Three hits vs. Miami
    McMahon went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: McMahon got the Rockies on the board with an RBI single in the first inning before driving in a second run with a double in the 10th. The 29-year-old McMahon now has hits in six straight games, going 8-for-23 with two doubles and two home runs in that span, on the heels of a 1-for-14 stretch. His slash line is up to .321/.397/.495 on the season with four homers, 18 RBI and 12 runs scored. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Gets start Friday
    Keller is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.

    Advice: Keller was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday and proceeded to make his White Sox debut as a reliever Monday, when he tossed 1.2 scoreless innings against the Twins. The White Sox haven't indicated that Keller will be joining the rotation on a permanent basis, as the team might have just wanted to build in an extra day of rest for Erick Fedde, who will take the hill Saturday after tossing 8.1 innings and 108 pitches in his most recent outing last Sunday versus the Rays. Keller will be taking the mound Friday on three days' rest, so he could face a light workload restriction, even though he had worked five-plus innings in each of his three starts with Charlotte prior to his call-up.

  • Grabs first win
    Scott (1-4) earned the win Tuesday over Colorado, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk in one inning. He struck out two.

    Advice: Scott allowed the free runner to score in the top of the 10th inning on a two-out Ryan McMahon double before ultimately striking out Hunter Goodman to end the frame. The Marlins would then score twice in the bottom half, completing the comeback victory and giving Scott his first win this year. The left-hander hasn't allowed an earned run in his last six appearances -- he's 4-for-5 in save chances this year with a 2.84 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 12:13 K:BB across 12.2 innings.

  • Picks up another start
    Lambert is scheduled to start Thursday's game in Miami.

    Advice: After making his first start of the season April 21 versus the Mariners, Lambert made his most recent appearance out of the bullpen, as he covered 2.2 innings in long relief April 25 after starter Dakota Hudson was pulled from the contest midway through the fourth inning. After having off days last Friday and this past Monday, the Rockies were able to temporarily get by with a four-man rotation, but Lambert will return to starting role this week as the team returns to a five-man rotation.

  • Tigers option Matt Manning to Triple-A
    Tigers optioned RHP Matt Manning to Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: Manning pitched in yesterday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals where he struck out seven and allowed four earned runs across 4 2/3 innings of work. He holds a 4.24 ERA, 1.18 WHIP with a 17/8 K/BB ratio in his three starts with the Tigers this season. He’s more likely than not going to get more opportunities in the majors, but his fantasy value isn’t much unless there’s an injury to Detroit’s starting rotation. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
     
  • May be pushing for everyday role
    Perez will start in center field and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: After getting on base four times and slugging two home runs between both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader, Perez will pick up a fifth consecutive start in the outfield Wednesday. With Austin Meadows on the bench for the second time in five games while he's hitting just .100 on the season, Perez could soon move into a full-time role at Meadows' expense. Since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on April 8, Perez has produced a 1.003 OPS over 48 plate appearances with Detroit. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago

  • Cardinals option Kyle Leahy to Triple-A
    Cardinals optioned RHP Kyle Leahy to Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: The 26-year-old right-hander was called up to be the 27th man for the second game of a doubleheader on Tuesday. Leahy allowed two hits and two earned runs in 1 1/3 innings of work against the Tigers. He’ll head back down to Triple-A where he’s posted a 5.84 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 14/4 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings this season. Rotoworld 59 minutes ago
     
  • Sits against right-hander again
    Meadows is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Meadows finds himself on the bench against a right-handed pitcher for the second time in five games and could soon find himself back with Triple-A Toledo, given his rough start to the season. Even after reaching base three times in the Tigers' 11-6 win in the second game of a doubleheader Tuesday, Meadows is slashing a deplorable .100/.222/.229 through 81 plate appearances on the season. Wenceel Perez will draw the start in center field Wednesday and could end up unseating Meadows for an everyday spot in the lineup. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Rogers will get a breather for Wednesday's day game after he was behind the plate Tuesday night for the Tigers' 11-6 win in the second game of a doubleheader with the Cardinals. Carson Kelly will pick up the start at catcher Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:06 am
