  • Lands on injured list
    The Angels placed Adrianza on the 10-day injured list Friday with back spasms, retroactive to Thursday.

    Advice: Adrianza reported having problems with his lower back Friday, and the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. Niko Goodrum will join the active roster to take Adrianza's spot after being claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay on Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 5:18 pm
     
  • Angels place Ehire Adrianza (back) on 10-day IL
    Angels placed INF Ehire Adrianza on the 10-day injured list with back spasms.

    Advice: The Angels already have Anthony Rendon, Luis Rengifo and Brandon Drury on the injured list, so why not place another infielder there for good measure. Luckily, Niko Goodrum arrived on Friday and will join the active roster to replace Adrianza. Rotoworld Today, 5:16 pm
     
  • Pirates option Alika Williams to Triple-A
    Pirates optioned INF Alika Williams to Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder didn’t do much in 51 plate appearances with the big league club, slashing .239/.271/.348 with zero homers, two RBI and a 9/2 K/B ratio. He’ll continue to function as extra infield depth for the Pirates at the Triple-a level. Rotoworld Today, 5:08 pm

  • Pirates recall Nick Gonzales from Triple-A
    Pirates recalled INF Nick Gonzales from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: The 24-year-old infielder was punishing the baseball once again at the Triple-A level, hitting .358 (43-for-120) with four homers in his first 30 games. He’ll once again be given a shot at securing the team’s everyday job at second base. Alika Williams was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Today, 5:06 pm
     
  • Giants recall Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Friday
    Giants recalled INF Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder flopped in his first taste of big league action in 2023, but perhaps things will be different this time around. Schmitt was hitting .276/.320/.448 with five homers, 31 RBI and five stolen bases through his first 33 games at Triple-A Sacramento. Expect him to see the bulk of the action at shortstop while Nick Ahmed (wrist) is shelved. Rotoworld Today, 3:47 pm

    Advice: The 34-year-old shortstop sustained the injury on April 27 when he was hit by a 108-mph line drive against the Rockies. He’ll sit for a couple of weeks and hope that the time off takes care of things. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacremento in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 3:44 pm

  • Recalled from Sacramento
    The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

    Advice: With Nick Ahmed (wrist) headed for the injured list, Schmitt will come up from the minors to serve as replacement infield depth. The 25-year-old has spent all of 2024 with Sacramento, slashing .269/.313/.440 with 31 RBI across 147 plate appearances, and he will likely be used primarily off the bench while with the big-league club.

  • Headed to IL
    The Giants placed Ahmed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left wrist sprain.

    Advice: Ahmed appeared to have sustained the injury on an awkward swing during his at-bat in the third inning in Thursday's game against Atlanta. Tyler Fitzgerald pinch hit for Ahmed in the fourth inning. Casey Schmitt, who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move, is starting at shortstop and batting seventh for Friday's game against the Reds, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

  • Dealing with back problems
    Adrianza said Friday that he has experienced issues with his lower back, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: It's uncertain whether or not Adrianza will require a trip to the injured list, but he said he received an MRI on Friday, which should help determine how long he may be out for. The 34-year-old has played in eight games since joining the Angels in late April, slashing .192/.250/.346 with two RBI in 28 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:48 pm
