  • Brewers recall Andruw Monasterio from Triple-A
    Brewers recalled INF Andrew Monasterio from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: With Jake Bauers landing on the bereavement list on Friday, the Brewers needed some extra depth on their bench for the weekend, so Monasterio will rejoin the Brewers after being optioned out to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. Monasterio is 0-for-7 with a pair of runs scored in his limited action with the Brewers this season. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago
     
  • Undergoes knee surgery
    Delay recently underwent surgery to repair the meniscus in his right knee, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Delay is expected to be ready to resume baseball activities in six weeks and it figures to be several weeks after that before he might be ready to return to the Pirates. Pittsburgh is currently using Henry Davis and Joey Bart as its catching duo, but Yasmani Grandal (foot) recently began a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Hit in loss
    Lopez went 1-for-2 in a 2-1 win over Kansas City on Wednesday.

    Advice: It's been a difficult start to the season for the 29-year-old, as Lopez's slash line sits at .167/.255/.167. While he does have two hits over the last five games, the infielder has yet to tally an extra-base hit and he's been a liability on the base paths during the rare occasion that he's gotten on base, having been thrown out four times this season. The six-year veteran signed a one-year, $4.3 million contract with the White Sox this offseason, but given the team's dreary record, it wouldn't be surprising to see Lopez get ample opportunities to find his way out of this rut.

  • RBI double in win
    Flores went 1-for-1 with a RBI double in the 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

    Advice: Flores entered in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and immediately smacked a two-run double, which accounted for only his third extra-base hit of the new campaign. While the veteran has been on the short side of the platoon with LaMonte Wade at first base, the Giants have found a way to get Flores' bat in the lineup situationally throughout most of the season. The 32-year-old has yet to tally a home run in the 2024 campaign, but given his slugging percentage (.311) is woefully below his career norms, the power could be returning in short order.

  • RBI in loss
    Farmer went 1-for-3 with an RBI in the 4-2 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

    Advice: Farmer has played in six games since Carlos Correa injured his oblique bouncing between third and shortstop over the past week. While the Twins have said the All-Star's injury is relatively minor, his return status remains unclear, which should open up opportunities for Farmer to get more at-bats. A lifetime .252 hitter, there's bound to be a bit of positive regression to the mean with the veteran averaging .097 across 38 at-bats this season. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago

  • One walk, one run in win
    Short went 0-for-3 with one run and one walk in the 9-1 win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

    Advice: With Brett Baty out due to a hamstring injury, Short got just his second start since April. The utility infielder likely will have a spot carved out on the roster due to his versatility, and he's at least not a minus runner in the event he's able to get on base. Don't expect the 28-year-old to see much more than a spot start on occasion unless multiple members of the infield pick up injuries. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago

  • Takes seat Friday
    Joe is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus Boston.

    Advice: Joe is 4-for-21 over his past seven games and will take a seat for Friday's series opener. Jack Suwinski, Michael Taylor and Bryan Reynolds will start from left to right in the outfield. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • Yankees activate Taylor Trammell
    Yankees added OF Taylor Trammell to the active roster.

    Advice: One day after he was claimed off waivers, Trammell will be on the Yankees’ active roster for their weekend series against the Rays. Fantasy managers don’t need to pay much attention to this news as he’s likely to fill a bench spot while up in the majors. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Back in action Friday
    Hayes (back) is starting at third base and batting third Friday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: The 27-year-old sat out the past two games with lower-back tightness but is ready to rejoin Pittsburgh's starting nine after Thursday's scheduled off day. Hayes struggled offensively in the five games preceding the absence, going 3-for-17 with two doubles, five walks and six strikeouts. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
