  • Day off Friday
    Urshela isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Urshela has gone 0-for-6 since returning from the injured list Tuesday, and he'll now get a chance to clear his head Friday. Matt Vierling will fill the open spot at third base and bat fifth. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Back down to Triple-A
    The Dodgers optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

    Advice: Ramirez was recalled for Thursday's game against the Reds. He pitched 2.1 innings and gave up three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one batter. Ramirez has appeared in six major-league games this season, registering a 3.86 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 9.1 frames. The Dodgers recalled right-hander Ricky Vanasco in a corresponding move.

  • Recalled by Los Angeles
    The Dodgers recalled Vanasco from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

    Advice: Vanasco made his major-league debut April 15 against the Nationals, throwing two scoreless innings while striking out one batter. He was optioned to Triple-A the next day, and he has not yielded an earned run in each of his last four bullpen outings with Oklahoma City. To make room for Vanasco, the Dodgers optioned southpaw Nick Ramirez to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Officially promoted
    The Dodgers recalled Vargas from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

    Advice: Vargas has served as Oklahoma City's left fielder all season, slashing .302/.442/.590 with eight homers and 39 RBI across 181 plate appearances. The 24-year-old hasn't found the same success in the majors with a .640 OPS, but he could still draw starts in the outfield on days the Dodgers are matched up against a left-handed starter. James Outman was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Brandon Lowe (oblique) could return on Monday
    Brandon Lowe (oblique) could be activated from the injured list and return to the Rays’ lineup on Monday.

    Advice: The 29-year-old slugger will restart his minor league rehab assignment on Saturday and is set to play games on back-to-back days at Triple-A Durham. If all goes well with that, he’ll be cleared to rejoin the Rays for Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox. Lowe has been close to returning before, only to suffer a setback and require some extra time, so we’ll believe it when we see it. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Sent to Triple-A
    The Dodgers optioned Outman to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

    Advice: After a successful 2023 campaign, Outman has struggled mightily to begin 2024, slashing just .147/.250/.266 across 124 plate appearances. He'll now look to get back on track in the minors, though a significant turnaround would likely be required before the Dodgers consider calling him back up. Outman's demotion likely spells consistent playing time in center field for Andy Pages and clears a roster spot for Jason Heyward (back) to return from the injured list. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • Dodgers option Nick Ramirez back to Triple-A
    Dodgers optioned LHP Nick Ramirez to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: The left-hander lasted just one day on the big league roster this time around, giving up three runs on five hits and a pair of walks over 2 1/3 innings against the Reds on Thursday. Ricky Vanasco was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move on Friday to replace him in the Dodgers’ bullpen. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Placed on IL with oblique strain
    The Dodgers placed Muncy on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a Grade 1 right oblique strain.

    Advice: Muncy last played Wednesday against the Giants and was left out of the starting lineup Thursday against the Reds. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed that Muncy sustained a Grade 1 right oblique strain during batting practice before Thursday's game, and the veteran outfielder will not swing a bat for two-to-three days, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports. Before landing on the IL, Muncy was slashing .223/.323/.475 with nine home runs and 28 RBI over 167 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

  • Dodgers recall Miguel Vargas from Triple-A OKC
    Dodgers recalled INF/OF Miguel Vargas from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: While the versatile 24-year-old saw most of his action in left field at the Triple-A level, the Dodgers have a sudden need at third base with Max Muncy (oblique) landing on the injured list on Friday. Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Friday however that Vargas will play left field while he’s with the big league club. Enrique Hernandez is starting at third base on Friday night and could wind up seeing additional action there. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
