  • Getting day off
    Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Castro will get a breather for the first time since April 15, ending a streak of 20 consecutive starts at four different positions (shortstop, third base, left field and center field). Third base and center field will likely be Castro's primary homes for the foreseeable future while Royce Lewis (quadricep) and Byron Buxton (knee) remain on the injured list.

  • Red Sox activate Romy Gonzalez from 10-day IL
    Red Sox activated INF/OF Romy Gonzalez from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The versatile 27-year-old has been shelved since April 11 due to a left wrist sprain. Before he was sidelined, Gonzalez had been just 1-for-4 (.250) with a walk and a strikeout in two games played with the Red Sox. He’ll add depth and versatility to the team’s bench and can safely be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld 3 minutes ago

  • Michael Lorenzen hit hard in loss to A’s
    Michael Lorenzen was lit up for six runs over six innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: Lorenzen took the ball for the opening contest of Wednesday’s twin bill at Oakland Coliseum and turned in an absolute clunker. He was tagged for nine hits, including homers from Shea Langeliers and Brett Harris, before his calamitous outing came to a close. He finished with six strikeouts and only handed out a pair of free passes. He’ll being an inflated 4.66 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 23/14 K/BB ratio across 29 innings (five starts) into a home matchup on Tuesday against the Guardians. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago
     
  • Red Sox designate Zack Short for assignment
    Red Sox designated INF Zack Short for assignment.

    Advice: Short was just acquired from the Mets a week ago for cash considerations, but he’ll be placed on waivers for the third time this year as the Red Sox needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster. Once again, there may be interest around the league in the glove-first infielder. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago

  • Up in big leagues
    The Giants recalled Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old has a .953 OPS in 30 games for Sacramento this season and will now receive a look in the big leagues as Jorge Soler (shoulder) lands on the injured list. Ramos has a career .470 OPS in the majors, but he's played in just 34 games and has never received an extended run of playing time. He's batting seventh as the designated hitter Wednesday against the Rockies. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Giants recall Heliot Ramos from Triple-A
    Giants recalled OF Heliot Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: He’ll take the place of the injured Jorge Soler (shoulder) on the Giants’ active roster. The 24-year-old outfielder has always struggled in his opportunities with the big league club, but he was off to a terrific start at Triple-A — slashing .296/.388/.565 with eight homers, 21 RBI and a pair of stolen bases in his first 30 games.
