  • Athletics recall Tyler Soderstrom
    Athletics recalled C Tyler Soderstrom from Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Soderstrom has a .882 OPS in his 119 plate appearance at the Triple-A level this season. The 22-year-old backstop spent time with the A’s last season where he slashed .160/.232/.240 with three home runs and seven RBI in his 45 games played. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

  • No support in loss
    Burnes (3-2) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over 6.1 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Nationals.

    Advice: The three walks matched a season high, and the Nationals proved opportunistic by logging three steals with Burnes on the mound. The right-hander has earned a quality start in five of his eight outings and has yet to give up more than three runs in any of his starts. He's winless over his last three starts but owns a 2.83 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 47:12 K:BB through 47.2 innings overall. Burnes lines up for a home start versus the Blue Jays in his next outing.

  • Getting Wednesday off
    Chourio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Chourio is hitting .357 with one stolen base over his first five games of May, but he's still slashing just .193/.233/.263 overall since April 16 and has seen his job security slip a bit as a result. The rookie will find himself on the bench Wednesday for the third time in seven games. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Records fifth steal
    Gimenez went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 11-7 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: After ending April with three straight multi-hit efforts, Gimenez has gone a mere 5-for-26 over seven contests to begin May. The steal was his first since April 28. The second baseman is at a .263/.333/.353 slash line through 151 plate appearances, but he's mustered just nine extra-base hits, including only one homer, after logging 15 long balls, 27 doubles and five triples in 153 games a year ago. Gimenez is also striking out at a career-low 15.9 percent rate, though he may need to give back some of his plate discipline to produce more power. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Heading back to bench Wednesday
    Ortiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: After sitting in four straight games to close out this past weekend, Ortiz picked up starts at second base and third base in the Brewers' first two contests in Kansas City, going 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk between those games. The 25-year-old still looks to be the Brewers' preferred option at the hot corner, though he'll give way to Oliver Dunn on Wednesday. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Retreats to bench Wednesday
    Hoskins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Hoskins will get the afternoon off in the series finale in Kansas City after he had started in each of the Brewers' previous eight games. Gary Sanchez will spell Hoskins at first base. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Exits 40-man roster
    Speas was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Wednesday.

    Advice: He's yielding his spot on the 40-man roster to Easton Lucas. Speas was acquired via trade from the White Sox last month and has held an ugly 12.08 ERA over 11 relief appearances this season with Las Vegas. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Lands on injured list
    The Athletics placed Hernaiz on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left ankle injury.

    Advice: Hernaiz suffered the injury during Tuesday's contest versus the Rangers when he stepped awkwardly on first base while trying to beat out an infield hit. It's not clear at this point how long he might be sidelined. Max Schuemann and Brett Harris could handle shortstop for the A's while Hernaiz is out. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Athletics recalled Bido from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

    Advice: Bido will start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rangers. The right-hander boasts a 2.59 ERA and 39:13 K:BB across 31.1 innings with Las Vegas this season. With Joe Boyle (back) sidelined, Bido could stick around for a while. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
