  • Sidelined by illness
    Rengifo (illness) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Rengifo has been held out of the lineup for five straight games with the illness, so his stint on the injured list will be retroactive to May 6. Kyren Paris was recalled from Double-A Rocket City in the corresponding move and should take over in a utility role while Rengifo is sidelined. Rotowire.com Today, 6:40 pm

  • Placed on injured list
    Drury (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Drury exited Wednesday's game after dealing with tightness in his hamstring, an issue he first dealt with in mid-April. He'll be sidelined for at least the next 10 days, leaving Luis Guillorme as the Angels' projected starting second baseman in the short term. Rotowire.com Today, 6:36 pm

  • In Thursday's lineup
    Guillorme will hit eighth and play second base Thursday against the Royals.

    Advice: The Angels acquired Guillorme Thursday and he'll immediately be set for his debut with the team. With Brandon Drury (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Guillorme could be in line for regular playing time in the short term. Rotowire.com Today, 6:34 pm

  • Pirates summoning Nick Gonzales on Friday
    The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Andrew Destin reports the Pirates will promote infielder Nick Gonzalez on Friday.

    Advice: Gonzales will get the call back to the majors after batting .358 (43-for-120) with four homers in 137 plate appearances over 30 games this season for Triple-A Indianapolis. The 24-year-old middle infielder got into 35 contests last year for Pittsburgh and simply has nothing left to prove in the upper minors at this juncture. Rotoworld Today, 3:49 pm
     
  • Heads to bench versus lefty
    Frazier isn't in the Royals' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Angels.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Frazier will take a seat as Reid Detmers prepares to start on the hill Thursday for the Halos. His absence will allow Nelson Velazquez to serve as the Royals' DH while batting fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:23 pm
     
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Pirates recalled Gonzales from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Gonzales has spent all season in Triple-A, slashing .358/.431/.608 with four homers and 19 RBI across 137 plate appearances. The 24-year-old infielder will give the Pirates another player capable of fielding multiple positions, and he could dethrone the struggling Jared Triolo as Pittsburgh's primary second baseman.

  • Remains limited to tee work
    Edman (wrist) remains limited to tee work, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: He has been cleared to up the intensity of his workouts, but Edman's progress remains, at best, slow, with no return date in sight. The switch-hitter was transferred to the 60-day injured list earlier this week, so he's officially not eligible for activation until late May. Rotowire.com Today, 1:53 pm
