  • Jeimer Candelario exits game with tendinitis issue
    Jeimer Candelario was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Pirates with general fatigue and tendinitis.

    Advice: Reds manager David Bell told reporters afterwards that Candelario isn’t in danger of requiring a trip to the injured list. It sounds like more of a day-to-day maintenance issue than anything else. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:28 pm

  • Jeimer Candelario leaves game with apparent injury
    Jeimer Candelario was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Pirates with an apparent injury.

    Advice: Candelario didn’t look right during an eighth-inning at-bat and was replaced by Spencer Steer at first base in the bottom of the eighth inning. There should be an update on his status soon. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:45 pm

  • Dealing with back injury
    Kirilloff's option to Triple-A St. Paul was rescinded Tuesday, as the Twins placed him on the 10-day injured list due to back soreness and nerve issues, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The demotion was initially reported after Wednesday's win against the Rockies, but Kirilloff is instead back with the big club as the injury is evaluated. The 26-year-old underwent an MRI in late May, but he apparently didn't communicate how troublesome the injury had become as he attempted to play through it. It's unclear how long Kirilloff is expected to be sidelined, but the Twins could plan out a lengthy rehab assignment given his .654 OPS and career-worst 26.4 percent strikeout rate this year.

  • Takes BP on Monday
    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Clemens (back) is "getting pretty close" to a return from the 10-day injured list after taking batting practice Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Clemens has been on the shelf since June 3, one day after being scratched from the lineup ahead of the Phillies' game against the Cardinals after his bat locked up on him during batting practice. He could go out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated from the IL. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:18 pm

  • Twins put Alex Kirilloff on 10-day IL with back issue
    Twins placed 1B/OF Alex Kirilloff on the 10-day injured list with back soreness.

    Advice: The exact nature of the injury is a bit unclear at the moment, but Kirilloff’s recent demotion to Triple-A St. Paul has been rescinded as he’ll head to the injured list instead. The 26-year-old indicated Tuesday that he was playing through a lingering back issue in the majors before being sent down last week. The former top prospect has struggled this season and it’s fair to speculate whether he still fits into Minnesota’s long-term plans anymore. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:23 pm

  • Selected to majors
    The Athletics selected Nevin's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

    Advice: Nevin has slashed .296/.365/.667 at Triple-A since being DFA'd toward the end of May, and his resurgence in the minors has now allowed him to reclaim a spot on the A's. The 27-year-old has experience at the corner infield and corner outfield positions, and his versatility could allow him to start on a somewhat regular basis. J.D. Davis was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:17 pm

  • A’s bring back Tyler Nevin from Triple-A Las Vegas
    Athletics selected the contract of INF Tyler Nevin from Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Nevin is back in Oakland’s corner infield mix for Tuesday’s game against the Royals after spending the last few weeks back in the minors waiting for another opportunity at the highest level. He’s not much of a factor for fantasy managers outside of AL-only formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:13 pm

  • Mariners activate Ty France (heel) off injured list
    Mariners activated INF Ty France off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: France missed just the minimum time on the injured list despite suffering a fractured heel. Interestingly, the Mariners aren’t sending Tyler Locklear — France’s replacement — to Tacoma as the corresponding transaction, but instead designated catcher Seby Zavala for assignment. The question now is what kind of role Locklear will have, as France is expected to resume the regular role as starting first baseman. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:33 am
     
  • Back from injured list
    The Mariners activated France (heel) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: France missed the minimum 10 days with a right heel fracture and will skip a rehab assignment, going right back onto the Mariners' 26-man active roster. Tyler Locklear has been filling in at first base for France and remains on the roster, but France should go back to seeing the bulk of the starts at first base for Seattle.
