  • Padres recall Logan Gillaspie on Wednesday
    Padres recalled RHP Logan Gillaspie from Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Gillaspie was summoned to bolster San Diego’s bullpen depth after veteran starter Yu Darvish landed on the injured list prior to Wednesday’s contest against the Brewers. The 27-year-old righty has made 28 relief appearances in the big leagues since 2022. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago
     
  • Dodgers option Eduardo Salazar to Triple-A
    Dodgers optioned RHP Eduardo Salazar to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: Salazar was up with the Dodgers for just a couple days this week and didn’t end up making an appearance. The 25-year-old righty heads back to the minors to continue serving as emergency relief depth for Los Angeles. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Hopes to return when eligible
    O'Neill (concussion) will travel with the Red Sox to Pittsburgh this weekend and hopes to be activated when first eligible Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: O'Neill confirmed that he has a concussion as a result of his collision with Rafael Devers on Monday, but he's feeling better and is aiming for a minimum absence. It's too soon to count on that, of course, given the uncertain nature of concussions. O'Neill is third in baseball with seven home runs this season. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Brandon Drury (hamstring) pinch-hits on Thursday
    Brandon Drury (hamstring) grounded out as a pinch-hitter on Thursday in the Angels’ loss to the Rays.

    Advice: Drury was held out of the lineup for the third consecutive contest due to ongoing left hamstring tightness, but was able to come off the bench in the ninth inning of this one. The 31-year-old infielder remains day-to-day for now and should be a full-go in a couple days, if not sooner. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago

  • Will undergo elbow surgery
    Stephenson will undergo surgery on his right elbow, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: It was reported Wednesday that Stephenson would miss the remainder of the season, so it's not a surprise to hear that he needs surgery. The specific type of surgery hasn't been revealed, and it's possible it won't be until after the procedure occurs. If Stephenson needs Tommy John surgery, he could be out until around midseason of next year. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • MRI on Rafael Devers’ knee reveals bone bruise
    Rafael Devers is day-to-day with a left knee bone bruise.

    Advice: Red Sox manager Alex Cora added that he doesn’t think Devers will require a trip to the injured list. It’s an extremely encouraging development for Boston, and fantasy managers, after a precautionary MRI on Thursday confirmed that Devers isn’t dealing with any major structural damage in his left knee. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar will likely require a few additional days off to rest and recover, but doesn’t appear to be facing an extended absence. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago

  • Heads to bench in series opener
    Alexander is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Alexander will take a seat for the series opener as the Giants bring ace right-hander Logan Webb to the hill. While the rookie still looks to be the Diamondbacks' preferred option at shortstop while Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is on the shelf, Alexander might have a shorter leash than anticipated while he's experienced some early hiccups defensively. Jace Peterson will cover shortstop Thursday. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • MRI reveals bone bruise
    Imaging on Devers' left knee revealed a bone bruise Thursday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Manager Alex Cora said Devers will be viewed as day-to-day going forward, and a trip to the injured list isn't expected. Devers was removed from Tuesday's game due to his injury and attempted to play through it Wednesday, but the results of his MRI will presumably keep him out of the lineup for multiple games. Pablo Reyes will start at third base Thursday and will likely continue to do so while the All-Star infielder is sidelined. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago

  • Expected to start Friday
    Priester is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to start Friday against the Red Sox, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Priester is off to a nice start this season with Indianapolis, holding a 3.95 ERA and 20:5 K:BB over 13.2 innings covering three starts. However, he really struggled in 2023 with the Pirates, posting a 7.74 ERA and 36:27 K:BB across 50 frames. It's possible he'll be needed for additional starts while Marco Gonzales (forearm) is out, but fantasy managers might be wise to take a wait-and-see approach with Priester. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
