  • Out with strained hamstring
    The Red Sox placed Heineman on the 10-day injured list Monday, retroactive to April 22, with a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: Heineman evidently must have suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Pirates. He'll be eligible to return in early May but isn't a given to be back on the big-league roster once he's healthy, as the Red Sox might send him to Triple-A Worcester instead.

  • Red Sox place Tyler Heineman on 10-day IL
    Red Sox placed Tyler Heineman on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 22, with a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: The 32-year-old will be sidelined for about one to two weeks and likely head back down to the minors when he was healthy. The 32-year-old was called up on Sunday to replace Triston Casas and unfortunately is the latest victim to the injury woes in Boston. Rotoworld Today, 12:03 pm
     
  • Out of Tuesday's lineup
    Davis is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Davis is 2-for-19 with eight strikeouts over his past six games and will sit Tuesday for the third time in Pittsburgh's last four contests. The young catcher has a .510 OPS for the season and could be in danger of losing his roster spot when Yasmani Grandal (foot) completes his rehab assignment. Joey Bart is starting behind the plate and batting eighth Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:53 am

  • Hits first homer
    McCann went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 victory versus the Angels.

    Advice: With Adley Rutschman resting his legs as the Orioles' DH, McCann got a start behind the plate and accounted for the team's first run with a second-inning solo blast. The veteran backstop has notched at least one hit in seven of the 10 games in which he's appeared, compiling a .265/.265/.412 slash line, five runs and five RBI. That works just fine for a backup catcher, but McCann doesn't figure to be a viable option in most fantasy formats with Rutschman staked to the lead role behind the plate for the Orioles for the foreseeable future.
