    Bellinger (ribs) is set to do hitting and defensive drills Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Bellinger landed on the 10-day IL on April 24 after fracturing his right rib against the Astros the day prior. It's a good sign that the 2019 NL MVP is taking the first step in his recovery, though Bellinger has more work to do before beginning a rehab assignment. In his absence, Pete Crow-Armstrong has served as the primary starter in center field and is slashing .259/.250/.444 with one home run and seven RBI over 29 plate appearances this season.

  • Bellinger, Suzuki participating in drills Saturday
    Cody Bellinger (rib) and Seiya Suzuki (oblique) are hitting and participating in defensive drills Saturday.

    Advice: Bellinger and Suzuki are key cogs of the Chicago offense, and both are working their way before from significant injuries. Both will need rehab assignments before they can return to the lineup, but it does appear both Suzuki and Bellinger could be back with the club before the end of May. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago

  • White Sox call up INF prospect Brayan Ramos
    White Sox recalled INF Bryan Ramos from Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun Times reports that the corresponding transaction will be placing infielder Danny Mendick on the injured list with a back injury. Ramos has struggled in Double-A with a .572 OPS over 98 at-bats, and he isn’t a recommended fantasy addition in redraft leagues. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
     
  • Cole (elbow) throws 15 pitches in bullpen session
    Gerrit Cole (elbow) threw 15 pitches in a bullpen session Saturday.

    Advice: It’s the first session for Cole since March when the right-hander was shut down with nerve inflammation in his right elbow. The next step is likely another session in the pen for the 33-year-old, but it’s a positive sign with Cole reportedly “giddy” over how things went. The hope is that he can return to the mound in the middle of June. So far, so good. Rotoworld 54 minutes ago

  • Day off Saturday
    Grissom isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Saturday was a planned off day for Grissom, as the Red Sox will try to ease the 23-year-old back after he missed the first month of the season due to a hamstring injury. David Hamilton will start at the keystone and bat eighth while Grissom sits. Rotowire.com Today, 8:03 am
     
  • Vaughn Grissom out Saturday after Friday debut
    Vaughn Grissom is not in the starting lineup for Saturday’s game against the Twins.

    Advice: This is a scheduled day off for Grissom, as the team wants to ease him in after making his season debut Saturday. The 23-year-old will get a day of rest with David Hamilton getting the start at second base and hitting eighth against Pablo Lopez and the Twins. Rotoworld Today, 7:57 am
     
  • Gets breather Saturday
    Wells isn't in the Yankees' lineup Saturday against the Tigers.

    Advice: After going 0-for-2 with a walk during Friday's series opener, Wells will step out of the lineup Saturday. Jose Trevino will start behind the dish instead, batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 7:54 am
     
  • Woo-Suk Go goes to Marlins in trade with Padres
    Go, 25, will join the Marlins after posting a 4.38 ERA and 15/4 K/BB over 10 appearances for Double-A San Antonio. The 25-year-old could very easily be a part of the Miami bullpen before the summer comes to a close, but likely not in a role that creates fantasy significance.

  • Sitting Saturday
    Baez isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Baez will get a breather Saturday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Zach McKinstry to start at shortstop while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 7:50 am
