  • Ready for next start
    Freeland (shoulder) feels fine Tuesday and will have his usual throwing session before his next turn through the rotation, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: The left-hander was used as a pinch runner Monday since the Rockies have a short-handed bench, and he suffered an injury to his non-throwing shoulder on a play at the plate. Thankfully it's a minor issue and won't affect Freeland's preparation for his next start, which lines up for this weekend versus Seattle. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Day off Tuesday
    France isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: France will get a day to regroup Tuesday after going 4-for-20 with three RBI and six strikeouts across his last five games. Luke Raley will take his place at first base and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Yankees outright Josh Maciejewski to Triple-A
    Yankees sent LHP Josh Maciejewski outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Maciejewski heads back to the minors as extra organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old southpaw was designated for assignment last weekend by the Yankees after just one relief appearance with the club. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Gerrit Cole (elbow) continues flat-ground throwing
    Gerrit Cole (elbow) progressed to flat-ground throwing from a distance of 75 feet on Tuesday.

    Advice: Cole continues to steadily increase his throwing progression and figures to be ready for a bullpen session at some point before April wraps up. The 33-year-old fantasy ace isn’t expected to rejoin New York’s starting rotation until late May, in a best-case scenario. However, it’s a positive sign that he’s throwing without any issues or setbacks. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
     
  • DFA'd by O's
    The Orioles designated Soto for assignment Tuesday.

    Advice: Soto has now been designated for assignment four times since the beginning of February -- twice by both the Orioles and Angels. He'll go through the waiver process and could perhaps draw interest from the Halos again, or another organization may be willing to take a chance on the 23-year-old infielder.

  • O’s lose Tyler Wells to IL with elbow inflammation
    Orioles placed RHP Tyler Wells on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 13, with right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: Wells was scheduled to start Wednesday’s series finale against the Twins, so Baltimore will have to make a roster move to bring up a spot starter to take the ball in his absence. No word yet on how long the 29-year-old righty will be sidelined, but there should be some clarity on his status in the coming days. He’s struggled to an inflated 5.87 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 13/3 K/BB ratio across 15 1/3 innings (three starts) this season. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Starting for Albies
    Guillorme is starting at second base and batting eighth Tuesday against the Astros.

    Advice: The 29-year-old saw his first plate appearances of the season Monday, going 1-for-3 with two strikeouts, and is now poised for more playing time after Ozzie Albies (toe) was placed on the injured list Tuesday. Guillorme could fill the large side of a platoon at second base along with David Fletcher, who replaced Albies on the major-league roster. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • O’s designate Livan Soto for assignment
    Orioles designated INF Livan Soto for assignment.

    Advice: Soto winds up back on waivers once again to open up a spot on Baltimore’s 40-man roster for backstop David Bañuelos. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago

  • Placed on 15-day IL
    The Orioles placed Wells on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: The assignment to the 15-day injured list is retroactive to April 13. Wells allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over four innings with three strikeouts in his last outing Friday. It was his second loss of the season as he fell to 0-2. The 29-year-old was supposed to start Wednesday, so the Orioles will have to make another move or fill in the spot with someone on the roster.
