  • Sent down to minors
    The Cardinals optioned Walker to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: Walker is hitting just .155/.239/.259 this season and was recently demoted to the eight spot in the Cardinals' lineup. Rather than him continuing to work through his struggles at the big-league level, the Cardinals have elected to have the 21-year-old do it in a less pressurized situation at Memphis for a while. Alec Burleson and Ivan Herrera would figures to see upticks in playing time with Walker in the minors. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Cardinals option Jordan Walker to Triple-A
    Cardinals optioned Jordan Walker to Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: It wasn’t the major league start the 21-year-old outfielder expected and because of that, the team will send him to Memphis to continue to develop. Walker made the Cardinals’ Opening Day roster, but slashed a horrid .155/.239/.259 in his 67 plate appearances. He didn’t record a hit in 12 of his 20 games played this season.

  • Clubs second homer
    Rizzo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the A's.

    Advice: Paul Blackburn left a 92.4 mph fastball up in the zone in the first inning, and Rizzo clubbed it over the fence in right-center field. The veteran first baseman snapped a 14-game homer drought with the blast, and he's still looking for his first sustained hot streak of 2024. Over 24 contests, Rizzo is slashing .231/.307/.319 with two doubles, two homers and 10 RBI. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Belts fifth homer
    Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Marcus Stroman left a breaking ball up in the strike zone in the second inning, and Langeliers launched it 414 feet to right-center field. It was the catcher's first long ball since his three-homer performance April 9 against the Rangers -- in the 11 games between those power displays, he went just 3-for-33 (.091) with a double as his only extra-base hit. On the season, Langeliers is slashing .174/.234/.406 through 77 plate appearances with five home runs and 11 RBI. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Pops second homer
    Butler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: He golfed a Marcus Stroman slider over the right-field fence in the fourth inning, but the Oakland offense went cold the rest of the way. Butler also struck out twice as he struggles to emerge from an early-season swoon, and through 23 games the 23-year-old outfielder is slashing .190/.301/.333 with two homers, one steal, four runs and five RBI.

  • Taking over as right fielder
    Bouchard went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Tuesday against the Padres.

    Advice: Bouchard has started five of six games since being called up by the Rockies, with four of those appearances coming in right field. He's collected one hit in every contest, including two doubles. Bouchard should remain a regular as long as Kris Bryant (back) is sidelined. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Swats sixth homer
    Paredes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: He supplied the Rays' only offense by taking Alex Faedo deep in the sixth inning. Paredes is having a strong start to the season, slashing .274/.361/.512 through 23 games with six homers and 16 RBI, but he'll need to keep producing to hang onto his starting job at third base with top prospect Junior Caminero lurking at Triple-A.

  • Another multi-hit game
    Bohm went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Bohm was the lone Phillie with more than one hit and drove in their lone run Tuesday with a two-out double off Andrew Abbott in the opening frame. The 27-year-old Bohm has now hit safely in seven straight games, going 12-for-26 in that span, while recording multiple hits in four of his last five contests. He's boosted his slash line to .305/.400/.524 with three homers, seven doubles and 19 RBI through his first 95 plate appearances while batting in the middle of a potent Philadelphia lineup.

  • Riding pine Wednesday
    Gurriel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Gurriel will join fellow lineup regulars Ketel Marte and Gabriel Moreno on the bench for the series finale while Arizona looks to rest some key players for the day game after a night game. Jake McCarthy will fill in in left field for Gurriel, who went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs in Tuesday's 14-1 win. Rotowire.com Today, 7:13 am
