  • Shut down at Triple-A
    Triple-A Albuquerque placed Hollowell on its 7-day injured list April 13 with an unspecified injury.

    Advice: Hollowell made four relief appearances for Albuquerque and gave up seven earned runs over 2.1 innings before being shut down with the injury. The 26-year-old reliever retains a spot on the Rockies' 40-man roster, but he'll stay on the minor-league IL for now. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Activated for season debut
    The Phillies reinstated Walker (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Padres on Sunday.

    Advice: The veteran right-hander will make his season debut Sunday in San Diego after he missed the first month of the season with a shoulder issue. Walker threw 102 pitches over 6.1 innings during his final rehab appearance, so he likely won't face any significant limitations in his first MLB outing of 2024. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Checks out of starting nine
    McCormick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies in Mexico City, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: McCormick will hit the bench for the series finale as a result of catcher Yainer Diaz getting a day off behind the plate and serving as Houston's designated hitter, resulting in usual DH Yordan Alvarez drawing the start in left field. The 29-year-old McCormick is still looking for his first home run of the season and has managed a .236 average with two stolen bases, eight RBI and six runs over 83 plate appearances.

  • Sitting in third straight
    Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies in Mexico City, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Meyers will take a seat for the third game in a row, with two absences coming against right-handed pitching and one coming versus a lefty. Mauricio Dubon has been swinging a hotter bat of late and will get another start at Meyers' expense, though it's unclear if Dubon has permanently leapfrogged Meyers on the depth chart in center field.

  • Taijuan Walker activated off IL for start Sunday
    Phillies activated RHP Taijuan Walker off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Walker will make his season debut Sunday with a start against the Padres. The right-hander missed the start of the season while recovering from soreness in his right shoulder. There may be some rust to shake off for Walker in his debut, and his lack of swing-and-miss makes him a risky fantasy option even if there wasn’t. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Hits bench in second straight
    Singleton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies in Mexico City, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Singleton seems to have moved into the strong side of a platoon at first base of late with the struggling Jose Abreu, though Abreu got the start in Saturday's 12-4 win against Rockies right-hander Paul Quantrill. After going 2-for-5 with two RBI in the win, Abreu will stick in the lineup Sunday against southpaw Austin Gomber. It's unclear if the Astros plan to bring Singleton back in the starting nine the next time they face off against a righty. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Returns to lineup Sunday
    Cruz (ankle) is starting at shortstop and batting third Sunday against the Giants, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Cruz was held out of the lineup Saturday after he tweaked his ankle in Friday's series opener, but he's back in the starting nine Sunday. The 25-year-old is without a home run since April 13 and has a .205/.286/.250 slash line and 38.8 percent strikeout rate during that 13-game stretch. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Streak of 11 straight starts ends
    Espinal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Thanks to both Jonathan Indian and Jake Fraley recently missing multiple games due to illness, Espinal has held down a regular spot in the Cincinnati infield. He started each of the last 11 games, going 7-for-34 (.206 average) with a home run and a stolen base. Now that India and Fraley are both back to full strength, Espinal is expected to move into more of a part-time role. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
