  • Placed on IL
    The Rays placed Pepiot on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left lower leg contusion.

    Advice: The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Pepiot could be activated as soon as May 21 if he makes a speedy recovery from the leg injury, which he suffered when he was hit by a line drive in Sunday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Mets. Taj Bradley (pectoral) was reinstated from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move and will be plugged into Pepiot's spot in the rotation beginning with Friday's game against the Yankees.

  • Removed from 40-man roster
    Short was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Wednesday.

    Advice: Short is being swapped out in favor of Romy Gonzalez, who is retuning from the injured list. He played in just two games for the Red Sox, going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

  • Cardinals and Mets postponed on Wednesday
    Wednesday’s scheduled contest between the Cardinals and Mets in New York was postponed due to rain.

    Advice: The game will be made up on August 5. The Cardinals’ scheduled starter, Sonny Gray, will pitch on Thursday against the Brewers. It’s likely that Mets’ scheduled starter Jose Quintana will pitch on Friday, but that has not yet been confirmed and the Mets could opt to skip his spot in the rotation. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Red Sox optioned Uwasawa to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.

    Advice: Uwasawa permitted just one earned run across four relief innings during his brief stint with Boston. He figures to rejoin the rotation at Worcester. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Checking out of starting nine
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Lopez recently overcame a sore adductor and started at second base in the first two contests of the series in Tampa, going 2-for-7 at the plate. The White Sox haven't indicated that Lopez suffered a setback with the injury, so his absence Wednesday is presumably maintenance-related. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Returns from injured list
    The Red Sox activated Gonzalez (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

    Advice: Gonzalez missed nearly a month of action with a left wrist sprain but has been cleared to return after playing three rehab games. The utility player is starting at first base and batting seventh for Boston on Wednesday in Atlanta. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: He'll bow out of the starting nine for the series finale in what amounts to a maintenance day after he worked behind the plate both of the previous two days. Martin Maldonado will replace Lee as the White Sox's starting catcher. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Alex Bregman dropped to sixth in Astros lineup
    Alex Bregman has been dropped to sixth in the Astros’ starting lineup for Wednesday night’s battle against Carlos Rodon and the Yankees.

    Advice: It’s the first time all season that the slumping third baseman has hit lower than fourth in the Astros’ lineup. That’s what happens when you hit .195/.275/.260 with just one homer and 11 RBI through your first 138 plate appearances. Jeremy Pena will move up into the cleanup spot in the order with Jon Singleton batting fifth for the Astros on Wednesday evening. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Activated prior to Wednesday start
    The Red Sox activated Pivetta (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Advice: Pivetta will rejoin the Red Sox' rotation Wednesday with a start against Atlanta. The right-hander has been sidelined since April 9 with a right elbow flexor strain but was cleared to return after making one rehab start. He went just three innings and threw only 62 pitches in his lone rehab outing, so Pivetta probably won't be stretched out for a full workload Wednesday. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
