Although he's slashed just .214/.320/.381 so far in an injury-shortened season, Friedl does have four home runs and six stolen bases over 97 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

  • Set for first MLB stint
    The Guardians recalled Martinez from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

    Advice: Martinez will get his first taste of big-league action, stepping onto the 26-man roster with Gabriel Arias tending to personal matters.

  • Claimed by Mets
    The Mets claimed Ellis off waivers from the White Sox on Friday and optioned him to Double-A Binghamton, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Ellis got a cup of coffee with the White Sox this season and has slashed just .258/.341/.308 at the Double-A level, which is especially underwhelming when you consider his age (26). He's fast and can play defense, though, which was enough to pique the Mets' interest. Rotowire.com Today, 10:52 am
