  • Joining 26-man roster
    The Reds selected Wynns' contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

    Advice: Wynns will make his first MLB appearance since 2023, joining the active roster after putting up a .726 OPS in 29 games with Louisville this season. He should be in the mix with Tyler Stephenson and Luke Maile for catching opportunities. Rotowire.com Today, 12:19 pm
     
  • Royals option C Austin Nola to Triple-A
    Royals optioned C Austin Nola to Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: Nola was the corresponding move for the activation of Hunter Renfroe from the injured list. The Royals were temporarily carrying three catchers with Salvador Perez a little banged up and Nola could be an option in the future if that situation arises once again. The 34-year-old veteran catcher is hitting .109 with one home run and five RBI in 64 minor league at-bats this year. Rotoworld Today, 12:17 pm
     
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Stubbs isn't in the starting nine for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With lefty Jordan Montgomery on the mound for Arizona, Stubbs will yield to Rafael Marchan behind the dish. Stubbs is 4-for-19 (.210) since J.T. Realmuto's (knee) injury. Rotowire.com Today, 12:09 pm
     
  • Four hits in loss
    Bailey went 4-for-5 in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Bailey is 14-for-37 (.378) over his last 10 games, and the lone contest in that span in which he failed to log a hit was one where he appeared off the bench. While the catcher is making consistent contact, it hasn't been particularly powerful -- he has just two extra-base hits in that span. Overall, he's at a .299/.367/.439 slash line with five homers, two stolen bases, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and eight doubles through 50 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
     
  • Sent to Triple-A
    The Royals optioned Nola to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

    Advice: The 34-year-old was called up by Kansas City last weekend but will lose his place on the 26-man roster as Hunter Renfroe (toe) returns from the injured list. Nola didn't see game action while up with the Royals. Rotowire.com Today, 8:55 am
     
  • Goes on paternity leave
    The Mets placed Torrens on the paternity leave list Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Torrens will likely miss the weekend series versus the Cubs while he welcomes a new baby to the family. Joe Hudson will fill his roster spot. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 am
     
  • Slugs two homers Thursday
    Fermin went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a 3-2 win over Oakland on Thursday.

    Advice: Fermin accounted for both Royals runs against Oakland starter Mitch Spence, belting a solo shot in each of the second and fourth frames. The backstop had just two homers across 138 plate appearances coming into the contest, though he flashed some power by going deep nine times over 235 plate appearances last year. Fermin has swung a solid stick with a .303/.352/.447 slash line this season, and he's being rewarded with increased opportunities. Over Kansas City's past five games, Fermin has started four times (three times at catcher and once at DH). Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:58 pm
     
  • Hits 11th homer
    Smith went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against Colorado in Thursday's 5-3 victory.

    Advice: Smith hit one of three Los Angeles long balls Thursday, bashing a 451-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. It was the catcher's 11th home run of the campaign, which leads NL backstops. Across the majors, only three catchers have more homers than Smith this season, and only two (Adley Rutschman and William Contreras) have topped Smith's 45 RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:29 pm
