  • Nationals option Trey Lipscomb back to Triple-A
    Nationals optioned INF Trey Lipscomb to Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: The 23-year-old became an unfortunate roster casualty on Friday with Joey Gallo (shoulder) returning from the injured list. In 122 plate appearances with the Nats, Lipscomb hit .252/.331/.290 with a homer, nine RBI, 10 stolen bases and a 20/11 K/BB ratio. It shouldn’t take him long to earn another chance at the big league level. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
  • White Sox activate Danny Mendick from 10-day IL
    White Sox activated INF/OF Danny Mendick from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The versatile 30-year-old will rejoin the White Sox’ roster with Bryan Ramos (quad) heading to the injured list on Friday. In his limited action with the big league club this season, Mendick has hit .256/.293/.410 with one homer, three RBI and one stolen base in just 39 at-bats. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
  • White Sox place Bryan Ramos (quad) on 10-day IL
    White Sox placed INF Bryan Ramos on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain.

    Advice: The 22-year-old rookie third baseman suffered the injury during Tuesday’s game and wasn’t progressing as quickly as the White Sox had hoped, so he wound up requiring a trip on the injured list. Danny Mendick was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago

  • Activated from IL
    Mendick (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

    Advice: Mendick was placed on the injured list in early May with soreness in his back and only needed two rehab starts before being activated. During those two Triple-A games, Mendick went 0-for-8 with two walks and a run scored. He'll replace Braden Shewmake on the big-league roster and could see immediate action at third base with Bryan Ramos on the 10-day IL with a strained left quad. Rotowire.com Today, 12:54 pm
  • Optioned to AAA
    Shewmake was optioned to Triple-AAA Charlotte on Friday.

    Advice: Shewmake will move back to Charlotte with Danny Mendick (back) being reinstated from the 10-day IL on Friday. The 26-year-old struggled during 29 games in the bigs, slashing .125/.134/.203 with one walk across 67 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:50 pm
