  • Turner to be ‘pulled back’ on rehab with soreness
    Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters that Trea Turner (hamstring) is dealing with soreness and he’ll be “pulled back” on his rehab.

    Advice: “How long, I don’t know,” Thomson said. “I’m not really concerned at this point.” Turner is working his way back from his left hamstring strain, and he ran at a higher intensity Saturday as he attempts to make a quicker return than anticipated. It’s concerning to see, but it’s also possible this is just precautionary. A rehab assignment will assuredly be needed before he can return. Rotoworld Today, 10:15 am

  • Sharing shortstop with Wisely
    Luciano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: After drawing five straight starts at shortstop from last Friday through Wednesday, Luciano appears to have moved into more of a timeshare at the position with Brett Wisely. Even with lefty Sean Manaea toeing the rubber for the Mets, the righty-hitting Luciano will give way to the lefty-hitting Wisely in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 10:03 am
     
  • Gets rest Sunday
    DeJong is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Orioles.

    Advice: DeJong will take a seat Sunday after playing in the first three games of the series, going 2-for-10 with two RBI while striking out five times. Zach Remillard will start at shortstop Sunday and bat eighth against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish. Rotowire.com Today, 10:00 am

  • Receiving breather Sunday
    Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus Atlanta, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Lefty Chris Sale is taking the mound Sunday for Atlanta, and Cruz will head to the bench after starting the previous six games. The shortstop has been scuffling at the plate recently with a .488 OPS and 43.6 percent strikeout rate in his past nine contests. Alika Williams is starting at shortstop and batting ninth Sunday.

  • Rehabbing at Single-A
    Leonard (oblique) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday and has gone 2-for-10 with a walk, a stolen base, two runs and an RBI through his first three games.

    Advice: Leonard has resided on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list April 9 with a left oblique strain, but he looks to be on the cusp of rejoining the Tigers' top affiliate. Before landing on the shelf, Leonard appeared in eight games for Toledo and slashed .219/.306/.250 in 36 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 6:26 am

  • Steps in at third
    Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Espinal was a late addition to the lineup after Jeimer Candelario (neck) was scratched. The utility infielder is getting a relevant amount of plate appearances due to injuries and a player suspension. While his .195 average isn't attractive, Espinal has hit with regularity of late, going 9-for-33 (.273) with a double, a home run, three RBI, four walks, two steals and four runs scored over the last 11 games.

  • Connects for first homer of 2024
    Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Duran finally got on the board with his first long ball of the season, though that wasn't enough to save him from being lifted for a defensive replacement (Travis Jankowski) later in the game. While Duran now has a .284 batting average, he has just a .683 OPS and his playing time has been trending downward. The 25-year-old had been in the starting lineup for just two of the Rangers' last six games entering Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:37 pm

  • Homers, steals base in win
    Turang went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base Saturday in Boston.

    Advice: His third home run of the season came in the eighth inning off reliever Zack Kelly. Turang had drawn a walk and notched his 19th stolen base of the season earlier in the contest. After going 26-for-30 in stolen base attempts as a rookie, Turang is now a perfect 19-for-19 in 2024. Only Elly De La Cruz has more this season with 31. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:45 pm
