  • Removed from 40-man roster
    Short was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday.

    Advice: Short is clearing out as J.D. Martinez is added to the Mets' active roster. The 28-year-old utility player had received just 12 plate appearances this month with the big club, picking up one hit. It's possible he'll draw some interest from a team seeking defensive versatility. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Officially added to roster
    The Mets recalled Martinez from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

    Advice: Martinez had his Mets debut delayed a bit by a minor back issue, but he's ready to go now following five tune-up games in the minors. The 36-year-old went 6-for-19 with two doubles and a 2:2 K:BB in those contests. Manager Carlos Mendoza has said Martinez will not play every day right away, as the club plans to ease him into things as he faces major-league pitching for the first time since last October. Eventually, he will be the team's everyday designated hitter. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Mets recall J.D. Martinez from Triple-A
    Mets recalled J.D. Martinez from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Martinez will join the Mets’ active roster for their weekend series against the Cardinals after he went 3-for-8 with a double in two games at the Triple-A level. The 36-year-old slugger should bring some pop to New York’s offense. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to Triple-A
    The Orioles optioned Holliday to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

    Advice: The top prospect made his big-league debut April 10 in Boston to much fanfare, but he looked entirely overmatched at the plate in his first couple weeks of MLB action. Holliday went 2-for-34 with two walks, five runs and 18 strikeouts in 10 games, so the Orioles opted to return him to Norfolk. The 20-year-old could rejoin Baltimore for another look later in the season, but for now he'll head back to Triple-A, where he posted a 1.077 OPS in 56 plate appearances to start the year.

  • Orioles select Ryan McKenna
    Orioles selected the contract of OF Ryan McKenna from Triple-A Norfolk.

    Advice: McKenna will join the active roster after the team optioned top prospect Jackson Holliday. The 27-year-old cleared waivers after he was designated for assignment at the beginning of the regular season and comes to Baltimore with experience at the major league level where he slashed .254/.316/.677 with two homers and 18 RBI in his 139 plate appearances last season.

  • Added to roster
    The Orioles selected McKenna's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

    Advice: McKenna will provide manager Brandon Hyde with an outfield option against lefties. The 27-year-old has a career .221/.299/.318 slash line over parts of three major-league seasons and can handle all three outfield spots. Rotowire.com Today, 10:25 am
     
  • Orioles option Jackson Holliday to Triple-A
    Orioles optioned Jackson Holliday to Triple-A Norfolk.

    Advice: There was a ton of excitement for Baltimore’s top prospect to join the major league. However, the 20-year-old got off to a really cold start and the team is making the decision to send him back to the minors. Holliday had an excellent spring training, but that didn’t correlate to the regular season where he had just two hits in his 36 plate appearances in his 10 games with the Orioles. Baseball is a tough sport and sometimes hitting the reset button is the best option for a struggling young player. Rotoworld Today, 10:22 am
     
  • White Sox select Tommy Pham
    White Sox selected the contract of OF Tommy Pham.

    Advice: Pham signed a minor league deal with the White Sox earlier this month and now joins the active roster. The 36-year-old veteran played four games at the Triple-A level where he went 5-for-17 with a double. He’ll look to give Chicago any sort of spark on offense as the team is off to their worst 25-game start in franchise history with a 3-22 record. Rotoworld Today, 10:19 am
