  • Feeling better
    Rendon (hamstring) has progressed to walking on an incline on the treadmill, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rendon is taking baby steps in his recovery from a left hamstring strain but said Monday that he's feeling a bit better. There remains no timetable for his return and he's not eligible for activation for another month after being shifted to the 60-day injured list. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago

  • On bench for Game 2
    Merrill is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader in Atlanta.

    Advice: Merrill started in center field in Game 1 and went 1-for-4 with two RBI, as he brought home San Diego's first two runs on a groundout and a single. Jose Azocar will take over in center field for the nightcap. Rotowire.com Today, 2:43 pm

  • Might be back this weekend
    Middleton (forearm) will be evaluated for potential activation from the injured list following back-to-back rehab appearances with Double-A Springfield on Wednesday and Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: Middleton hasn't allowed a hit or a run in two scoreless rehab innings so far, although he's also walked three and has not recorded a strikeout. He's been out all season with a right forearm strain. Rotowire.com Today, 2:43 pm
     
  • Departs 40-man roster
    Vieira was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Monday.

    Advice: Vieira has fanned 25 batters over his 22.1 innings this season, but he's also walked 13 and posted a 5.64 ERA and 1.70 WHIP. The 31-year-old has a big arm, so it's possible he'll draw interest from a team that thinks it might be able to fix him. Rotowire.com Today, 12:31 pm
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Brewers optioned Roller to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Advice: Roller was up in the majors for less than a week and struck out in his lone plate appearance. Joey Wiemer (knee) is back from the injured list to take his roster spot. Rotowire.com Today, 12:24 pm
     
  • Returns from injured list
    The Brewers activated Wiemer (knee) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Wiemer has missed most of May with a left knee strain but is ready to roll after a brief rehab assignment. He will provide outfield depth for the Brewers and could draw the occasional start against left-handers. Rotowire.com Today, 12:22 pm
     
  • In two hole Monday
    Jansen is starting at catcher and batting second in Monday's game versus the White Sox.

    Advice: Blue Jays manager John Schneider has been changing things up with his lineups in an effort to get his offense going and he's trying something new again Monday in batting Jansen higher than fifth for the first time this season. The catcher is slashing .313/.384/.625 on the year, so it's a move that certainly makes sense on paper. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 am
     
  • Danny Jansen batting second for Blue Jays
    Danny Jansen is starting at catcher and batting second for the Blue Jays against the White Sox on Monday.

    Advice: Jansen has been one of the Blue Jays’ best hitters, slashing .313/.384/.625 on the season with four home runs in 21 games. However, he also only has 12 runs scored and just seven RBI while being buried in the back third of the lineup. A bump up to second would be huge for his fantasy value if it sticks. Jansen has also started four of the last five games behind the plate as he continues to push for near full-time playing time. Rotoworld Today, 8:19 am
     
  • Ryan Pressly (finger) unavailable again on Sunday
    Astros’ manager Joe Espada told reporters after Sunday’s game that Ryan Pressly (finger) was unavailable once again for their contest against the Brewers.

    Advice: The Astros remain hopeful that it’s simply a day-to-day type of situation and that Pressly won’t require a trip to the injured list. Expect Bryan Abreu to continue to work in the eighth inning while Pressly is shelved. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:44 pm
