  • Collects five RBI
    Jansen went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, five RBI and two runs scored in Monday's victory over the White Sox.

    Advice: This was the third time in Jansen's career that he has driven in five or more runs in a game, marking the first occurrence since Oct. 1, 2022. The highlight of 29-year-old catcher's day was launching a 377-foot homer off Jordan Leasure in the seventh inning. The Blue Jays backstop has swung a hot bat to open the season, slashing .333/.397/.681 over his first 78 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Homers, steals base in loss
    DeJong went 3-for-4 with a homer, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's loss to Toronto.

    Advice: DeJong cracked his seventh home run of the season in the fourth inning, hitting it 402 feet to center. The Chicago shortstop has enjoyed a hot start to May, hitting .288 (17-for-59) with four homers, 12 runs scored and eight RBI this month. Overall, DeJong is now slashing .246/.295/.462 in 139 plate appearances while playing shortstop every day for the White Sox. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Available to pitch Monday
    Astros manager Joe Espada said that Pressly (finger) will be available out of the bullpen Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Pressly has been off limits for a few days while dealing with soreness in a finger on his right hand, but it would seem he's fully recovered now. The veteran reliever has struggled this season, collecting a 5.51 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through 16.1 innings. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Anthony Rendon walks uphill on treadmill
    Anthony Rendon, on the 60-day IL with a hamstring tear, said he’s progressed to walking on an incline on a treadmill.

    Advice: That still seems like it might be a few steps away from playing in a major league baseball game. Rendon was injured a month ago today and still has another month before he’ll be eligible to come off the IL. A return right after the All-Star break is probably the best-case scenario.

  • Tigers undecided on when to activate Kenta Maeda
    The Tigers have yet to make a decision on whether they’ll activate Kenta Maeda to start this week.

    Advice: Maeda allowed one run and struck out six in three-plus innings for Triple-A Toledo in his rehab start Sunday. He’s expected to get another shot in the Detroit rotation, but the Tigers could ask him to make one more rehab start and use Matt Manning again this week. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Goes three innings in rehab start
    Maeda (illness) allowed one run and struck out six over three innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

    Advice: He threw 53 pitches in the outing. Maeda will throw a bullpen session either Tuesday or Wednesday, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, and a decision as to whether he'll require another rehab start has not yet been made. It's possible he could rejoin the Tigers' rotation as soon as Friday versus the Blue Jays, but more should be known about his status in the coming days. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Brewers bring back Joey Wiemer from injured list
    Brewers activated OF Joey Wiemer from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Wiemer missed 16 days with left knee soreness. The Brewers could have just sent him down, as he wasn’t playing well before getting hurt, but they’ve instead decided to go with him over Chris Roller. He’ll likely play against lefties and come off the bench versus righties. He’s starting in center field and batting ninth tonight against Ryan Weathers. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
     
  • Brewers option OF Chris Roller to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned OF Chris Roller to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: So much for Roller getting any sort of look. He struck out in his lone at-bat during his five days with the Brewers. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
     
  • Brewers designate Thyago Vieira for assignment
    Brewers designated RHP Thyago Vieira for assignment.

    Advice: Vieira loses his spot after posting a 5.64 ERA in 22 1/3 innings out of the pen. He still has the live arm capable of delivering 95-99 mph fastballs, but all it’s gotten him is a 6.18 ERA since he debuted with the Mariners in 2017. Even so, there’s a decent chance that someone will claim him, since he’s making the minimum and can eat innings out of the pen. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
