  • Exits with apparent knee injury
    Wiemer was removed from Friday's game versus the Cubs with an apparent left knee injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Wiemer's knee buckled on him as he was retrieving Nico Hoerner's single down the left field line in the bottom of the eighth inning. After a brief conversation with the trainer, Wiemer walked off the field gingerly. The Brewers should have more on his condition after the game. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago

  • Twins recall Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul
    Twins recalled INF/OF Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: The versatile 25-year-old was just optioned out to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, but he’ll return to add depth on the Twins’ bench with Byron Buxton (knee) landing on the injured list. Martin has hit .226/.294/.371 with on homer, six RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 68 plate appearances with the big league club this season. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago

  • Byron Buxton (knee) lands on 10-day injured list
    Twins placed OF Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list with right knee inflammation.

    Advice: The Twins haven’t commented publicly on the results of Buxton’s MRI exam yet, but the fact that they’re terming the injury as only inflammation and not anything structural is certainly encouraging. There’s obviously no timeline yet on how long he’ll be sidelined for. Austin Martin was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move to take his place on the active roster.

  • Undergoes surgery
    Trout underwent surgery to repair the meniscus in his left knee Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The three-time American League MVP suffered the injury Monday against the Phillies, and there wasn't much of a delay before he went under the knife. Trout remains without an official timeline for his return, but he'll rehab in Anaheim for the foreseeable future and should be considered out indefinitely. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago

  • Taking dry swings
    Thomas (knee) has been cleared to take dry swings, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: It's been a little over a week since Thomas was diagnosed with an MCL sprain of his left knee and he's now easing back into baseball activities. There is no timetable for the outfielder's return, but he's almost surely several weeks away. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

  • Takes seat Friday
    Bader is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Bader will get the day off Friday, as Tyrone Taylor fills in at center field against Aaron Civale and the Rays. Bader played in each game of the Mets four-game series against the Cubs, so it's likely a rest day for the center fielder. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Cleared for rehab assignment
    Gallo (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Fredericksburg on Saturday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: It's a relatively quick turnaround for Gallo, who went on the injured list less than a week ago with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder. Because he's missed so little time, Gallo shouldn't need too many rehab games before being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 1:30 pm

  • Colton Cowser absent from Orioles lineup on Friday
    Colton Cowser is not in the Orioles’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: After lighting the world on fire at the plate for a while after joining the Orioles’ starting lineup, Cowser has struggled recently — hitting just .107/.265/.143 with zero homers, one RBI and a 14/5 K/BB ratio over 34 plate appearances in his last nine games. Heston Hjerstad will start in his place on Friday night and will bat eighth against Hunter Greene and the Reds. Rotoworld Today, 1:30 pm
     
  • Willie Calhoun hitting cleanup for Angels Friday
    Willie Calhoun is serving as the Angels’ designated hitter and batting cleanup for Friday night’s tilt against the Guardians.

    Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder was promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday and will see his first game action in a depleted Angels’ lineup on Friday night. Perhaps now is the time that the post-post-hype sleeper will finally deliver on his long-held promise, much to the delight and admiration of fantasy managers everywhere. Rotoworld Today, 1:27 pm
