• Crushes first homer of season
    Guerrero went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Rays on Opening Day.

    Advice: The 25-year-old slugger demolished a Zach Eflin cutter in the sixth inning, sending it 450 feet over the batter's eye in center field. Guerrero has seen his numbers decline the last two seasons after a monster 2021 campaign in which he produced 48 homers, 111 RBI and a 1.002 OPS, and his ability to rebound to something closer to that level of performance will be crucial to the Blue Jays' fortunes in 2024.

  • Heads to IL
    The Mariners placed Brash (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Brash sustained an elbow injury early in camp and didn't end up pitching in the Cactus League, though he was fortunate to avoid surgery after he was diagnosed with inflammation following a visit with Dr. Keith Meister, per MLB.com. The right-hander has since resumed throwing bullpen sessions and is likely to throw off the mound again this weekend before potentially gaining clearance to face hitters. Brash seems to be tracking toward a return from the IL in mid-to-late April. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Goes on 60-day IL
    The Red Sox placed Murphy (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: His move to the 60-day IL freed up a 40-man roster spot for lefty reliever Joely Rodriguez. Murphy sustained ligament damage to his left elbow during spring training and is likely to undergo season-ending surgery at some point in the near future. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Hits shelf with fractured toe
    The Red Sox placed Refsnyder (toe) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Refsnyder is likely to miss most or all of the first month of the season while he recovers from a fractured left pinkie toe. According to MLB.com, Refsnyder isn't being shut down from activity entirely while he recovers from the injury, as he's been able to play catch and take batting practice in recent days.

  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Turang is not in the lineup for Friday's season opener against the Mets.

    Advice: Turang will begin the season as the Brewers' primary second baseman, but he's out of the starting nine for Opening Day since lefty Jose Quintana is pitching for New York. Joey Ortiz is manning the keystone while Andruw Monasterio starts at third base. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Batting leadoff in debut
    Chourio is starting in right field and batting leadoff for Friday's opener against the Mets.

    Advice: He will surely bat lower in the order against right-handers, but with lefty Jose Quintana on the bump for the Mets, Chourio gets the call at the top of the lineup in his major-league debut. The 20-year-old will also play some center field for the Brewers but will be in right field for this one. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
  • Placed on IL
    The Red Sox placed Grissom (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: The transaction is retroactive to Monday, but Grissom won't be ready to come off the IL once his 10 days are up since he still needs more time to build back up after missing extended time in spring training due to the right hamstring strain as well as a groin injury. According to MLB.com, manager Alex Cora said Sunday that Grissom is about 7-to-10 days away from seeing game action in any form, so the infielder could be ready to head out on a rehab assignment in the minors at some point next week.

  • Opens season on IL
    The Red Sox placed Mata (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Mata suffered a right hamstring strain early in camp and was unable to make any appearances in the Grapefruit League, so the Red Sox's decision to deactivate him to begin the season comes as little surprise. Per MLB.com, Mata is likely trending toward a return in May, as he'll essentially need to go through his own version of spring training before being ready to pitch in games. Mata doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so unless the Red Sox want to risk the chance of losing him to waivers, he'll have to be included on the big-league roster once activated from the IL.

  • Jackson Chourio to leadoff in MIL season opener
    Jackson Chourio will leadoff in his MLB debut for Friday’s Opening Day matchup against the Mets.

    Advice: Chourio enters the majors as the second-ranked overall prospect and is expected to make an immediate impact for Milwaukee and fantasy managers. He signed an eight-year, $82 million long-term extension back in December, and looks to be the face of the Brewers franchise for years to come. Here’s the Brewers’ Opening Day lineup: Jackson Chourio RF, William Contreras C, Christian Yelich LF, Rhys Hoskins 1B, Willy Adames SS, Blake Perkins CF, Joey Ortiz 2B, Gary Sánchez DH, Andruw Monasterio 3B, Freddy Peralta SP Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
