  • Traded to Rangers
    The Rangers acquired Grossman from the White Sox on Wednesday in exchange for Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa.

    Advice: Grossman won a World Series ring with the Rangers last season and they've now elected to bring him back into the fold. The 34-year-old will provide some outfield/designated hitter depth while Wyatt Langford (oblique) is out and should see some starts against left-handed pitching. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Placed on 60-day IL
    The Tigers transferred Gipson-Long (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

    Advice: Gipson-Long's move to the 60-day IL opened up a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Ryan Vilade, who was called up from Triple-A Toledo prior to Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians. After undergoing Tommy John surgery in April, the 26-year-old right-hander will miss the rest of the 2024 season and is unlikely to be available until the middle of the 2025 campaign.

  • Belts eighth homer
    Paredes went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: The 25-year-old continues to rake. Paredes has seven multi-hit performances in the last 12 games, a stretch in which he's batting .362 (17-for-47) with a 6:4 BB:K. The surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .299/.384/.520 with eight homers and 19 RBI, and with top prospect Junior Caminero tearing it up himself at Triple-A Durham (.340/.392/.681 over his last 12 games), Paredes is doing his best to ensure he won't lose his spot in the starting lineup once the Rays call up the 20-year-old phenom.

  • Recalled and in Wednesday's lineup
    The Cardinals recalled Pages from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

    Advice: Pages is making his first major-league start Wednesday versus the Mets, as he will do the catching for Sonny Gray. He will serve primarily as Ivan Herrera's backup over the next several weeks while Willson Contreras (forearm) is sidelined. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Heading to bench Wednesday
    Vierling is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: After starting each of the last four games, Vierling will move to the bench to open up third base for Zach McKinstry. Vierling owns an .879 OPS over his last 10 games and should hang on to a near-everyday role at the hot corner until Gio Urshela (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

  • Sent to IL with forearm fracture
    The Cardinals placed Contreras on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a fractured left forearm.

    Advice: Contreras suffered the injury when he was struck by J.D. Martinez's bat on a catcher's interference call during Tuesday's game. He will undergo surgery to repair the fracture and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks. Ivan Herrera will be the Cardinals' primary catcher while Contreras is out and Pedro Pages has been recalled to take his roster spot. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Cardinals place Willson Contreras on 10-day IL
    Cardinals placed Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list with a left arm fracture.

    Advice: Contreras will need more than the minimum 10 days as the 31-year-old backstop suffered a broken left forearm during Tuesday’s game against the Mets. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Slugs sixth homer
    Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder went yard for the third time in the last five games, and while he has only four hits over that stretch, all four have gone for extra bases. Arozarena still isn't quite locked in at the plate -- he hasn't put together a multi-hit performance since March 30 -- but he appears close to breaking out. A hot streak is long overdue, as he sports a .152/.253/.311 slash line through 36 contests with six homers, six steals, 13 RBI and 16 runs. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Sharp in second win
    Eflin (2-4) picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-1 victory over the White Sox, allowing one run on six hits over seven innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

    Advice: The right-hander put together his longest outing of the season, throwing an efficient 94 pitches (65 strikes) and blanking Chicago for six innings before Paul DeJong touched him up for a solo shot in the seventh. The quality start was Eflin's fourth of the season in eight trips to the mound, and he'll take a 3.75 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 39:4 K:BB through 48 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come early next week in Boston.
