  • MRI on shoulder returns clean
    Stewart said a recent MRI on his right shoulder "looked good," and he's hopeful to resume throwing this weekend, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Stewart was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with right shoulder tendinitis, and fortunately for him, the injury doesn't look to be any more significant than that. If Stewart is able to resume playing catch this weekend, he would have an outside chance at returning from the IL when first eligible May 17. Stewart recorded an 0.68 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB across 13.1 innings while gathering seven holds in 13 appearances prior to landing on the shelf. Rotowire.com Just now
     
  • Rehab stint on tap
    Manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that McCormick (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The 29-year-old landed on the injured list with hamstring soreness last week, and he is now on the cusp of returning to game action. McCormick will likely only need a few games in the minors to get back up to speed due to the brevity of the absence, though he could use a few extra at-bats given his .603 OPS through 21 games.

  • Sitting Wednesday
    Santana is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Santana will take a seat after going 0-for-5 with a walk through the first two games of the series with Seattle. Father Time may be starting to catch up with Santana, whose .588 OPS so far during the 2024 campaign would represent the worst mark of his career by 73 points. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Getting day off
    Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Castro will get a breather for the first time since April 15, ending a streak of 20 consecutive starts at four different positions (shortstop, third base, left field and center field). Third base and center field will likely be Castro's primary homes for the foreseeable future while Royce Lewis (quadricep) and Byron Buxton (knee) remain on the injured list.

  • Red Sox activate Romy Gonzalez from 10-day IL
    Red Sox activated INF/OF Romy Gonzalez from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The versatile 27-year-old has been shelved since April 11 due to a left wrist sprain. Before he was sidelined, Gonzalez had been just 1-for-4 (.250) with a walk and a strikeout in two games played with the Red Sox. He’ll add depth and versatility to the team’s bench and can safely be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

  • JP Sears goes 5 2/3 on Wednesday for win
    JP Sears gave up four runs over 5 2/3 innings on Wednesday in a win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Sears drew the starting assignment for the opening contest of Wednesday’s doubleheader and managed to limit Texas’ lineup to just seven hits, including a pair of homers, into the middle innings. He got nine runs of support from Oakland’s offense to cruise to a win. He struck out three and only issued one walk. He’ll bring a serviceable 4.20 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 33/13 K/BB ratio across 45 innings (eight starts) into a road matchup on Monday against the division-rival Astros. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
