  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Stewart is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: It's southpaw Blake Snell on the hill for the Giants, so the left-handed hitting Stewart will begin this one on the bench. Starling Marte is getting a day in the designated hitter spot, while Tyrone Taylor will start in right field. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Out against left-hander
    Narvaez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco.

    Advice: The left-handed hitting Narvaez started Tuesday night, so with southpaw Blake Snell on the hill for Wednesday's afternoon tilt, it's an obvious spot to rest him. Tomas Nido will do the catching for Sean Manaea. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Collects two hits, steal in win
    Rojas went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base against the Nationals in Tuesday's 4-1 victory.

    Advice: Rojas got the start at shortstop while Mookie Betts shifted to second base with southpaw Patrick Corbin starting for Washington. That has been the usual lineup arrangement versus lefties in what has developed into a platoon situation, with Gavin Lux starting at second and Betts playing shortstop versus right-handed starters. Rojas has performed well when given the opportunity, slashing .281/.324/.500 with two homers, five RBI, four runs and a stolen base over 34 plate appearances. Meanwhile, Lux has struggled mightily with a .148/.224/.164 slash line, though the Dodgers seem set on sticking with him for the time being. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • May resume baseball activities soon
    The Tigers announced Tuesday that Leonard (oblique) will be re-evaluated next week and could begin a baseball progression program, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Leonard, who is a member of the Tigers' 40-man roster, was placed on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list April 9 after straining his left oblique. He's been able to complete daily rehab since being shut down with the injury, but Leonard has yet to get back on the field for hitting, fielding and running. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Slated to start Friday
    Flexen is listed as the White Sox's scheduled starting pitcher for Friday's game versus the Rays at Guaranteed Rate Field.

    Advice: Flexen has made his last two appearances as a reliever, working four scoreless innings behind Garrett Crochet in a 7-0 loss to the Phillies on Friday and 2.1 innings of one-run ball behind Jonathan Cannon in a 7-0 loss to the Twins on Monday. He'll be on three days' rest Friday, but Flexen shouldn't face any major workload restrictions as he steps back into the White Sox rotation. Flexen won't necessarily be in store for a long-term stay in the rotation, however, as he could be a candidate to head back to the bullpen when Mike Clevinger is likely to make his season debut in early May.

  • Ryne Nelson throws bullpen session Wednesday
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Ryne Nelson (elbow) is throwing a bullpen session on Wednesday.

    Advice: Nelson was placed on the injured list last week after he was hit in the elbow by a line drive off the bat of Mike Yastrzemski. It sounds like Nelson will be need the minimum 15 days before he can be active, but it remains to be seen where he’ll land in the rotation with the D-backs bringing in Jordan Montgomery.

  • Recovering from finger surgery
    The Tigers announced that Kreidler underwent surgery April 11 to address a fractured right index finger, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Kreidler has been taking part in daily rehab since getting surgery but is without a clear timeline to return to action for Triple-A Toledo. The 26-year-old infielder possesses a spot on the Tigers' 40-man roster but will remain on Toledo's injured list for the time being. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
