  • Drives in run in return
    Ruiz (wrist) went 0-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

    Advice: Ruiz returned after a one-game absence due to a wrist injury he suffered Saturday and was able to contribute an RBI for the third consecutive contest. The 25-year-old outfielder has demonstrated a slight uptick in pop during the first month-plus of the season and appears to have moved past the wrist issue, given he drew the start in left field Monday.

  • Beginning rehab assignment
    Peraza (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa on Tuesday.

    Advice: Peraza is finally ready to test things out in a game setting after working his way back from a right shoulder strain which he initially suffered back in late February. Given how much time he's missed, he will presumably require more than a handful of rehab games. Peraza also isn't a given to immediately be added to the big-league roster, although the status of DJ LeMahieu (foot) will be a factor. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

  • Notches first steal
    Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a run and a stolen base Monday in a 6-3 victory versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Cronenworth's first theft of the campaign came as part of a double-steal with Fernando Tatis in the sixth inning, and both players subsequently came home on a Jurickson Profar single. Cronenworth doesn't typically offer much in terms of speed, though he did swipe a career-high six bags last season. The first baseman is working on a 10-game hitting streak during which he has slashed .357/.378/.690 with three homers, 10 RBI and seven runs. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes bag Monday
    Tatis went 1-for-5 with a run and a stolen base in Monday's 6-3 win against the Cubs.

    Advice: Tatis helped generate San Diego's first run, reaching on a leadoff single in the sixth inning, advancing to second on another single, then taking part in a double steal with Jake Cronenworth before both players scored on a Jurickson Profar hit. Tatis has been somewhat quiet at the plate this season, but he's still been moderately productive with a .248/.327/.442 slash line, seven homers, 20 RBI, 28 runs and five stolen bases through 168 plate appearances. He's gone 7-for-23 with a homer, a steal, six runs and three RBI through the first five games of May. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Athletics designate Lazaro Amenteros for assignment
    Athletics designated OF Lazaro Amenteros for assignment.

    Advice: The 24-year-old will hit waivers after a rough start at the minor league level in Las Vegas. Amenteros slashed just .133/.278/.250 with 37 strikeouts in his 72 plate appearances. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago
     
  • Goes deep Monday
    Neto went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Batting out of the No. 9 slot in the order, Neto produced the Angels' only run of the game with his sixth-inning solo shot to center field. It was the third homer of the campaign for the shortstop, all of which have come over his past 11 games. Neto was batting just .167 after an 0-for-3 effort April 21, but he's turned things around since, slashing .356/.370/.667 over his past 13 contests. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
     
  • Jettisoned from 40-man roster
    Armenteros was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Armenteros was a lauded signee out of Cuba back in 2016 but has struggled to hit with any consistency since entering the A's organization. In his first taste of Triple-A Las Vegas this season, the 24-year-old has slashed only .133/.278/.250 with a 51.4 percent strikeout rate. Armenteros' removal from the 40-man roster clears space for Tyler Ferguson. Rotowire.com Today, 9:19 am
     
  • Slugs second homer
    Pham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Rays.

    Advice: Pham was the only source of offense for Chicago when he took Tyler Alexander deep for his second home run of the season. Since joining the White Sox on April 26, Pham has regularly hit second in the order and has at least one knock in seven of his 10 games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:44 am
     
  • Rays send Brandon Lowe on rehab assignment
    Rays sent 2B Brandon Lowe (oblique) on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Lowe was placed on the 10-day injured list in mid-April and the team has been careful with him before getting him to a minor league assignment. He’ll likely need to get two or three games under his belt since he’s been out for almost a month, but he’ll be a much-needed addition to the Rays and fantasy managers that have him on rosters.
