  • A’s option struggling Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A
    Athletics optioned SS Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: There isn’t exactly a starting spot for Hernaiz in the majors with Nick Allen finally back to full strength, so he’s headed back to the minors to continue playing everyday ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Guardians. The 22-year-old prospect was batting .103 (3-for-29) with two RBI in 17 games for Oakland in his first taste of the big leagues. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
  • Reaches four times Thursday
    Canha went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.

    Advice: Canha continues to provide steady production for the Tigers, as he has an .837 OPS across 18 games. The veteran outfielder recorded a .755 OPS last season and he's actually only finished above .800 once during his career, which came back in 2019 when he posted a .913 OPS and hit a career-high 26 home runs with the Athletics. Even if he slips into the .700 range, Canha should remain a solid if not spectacular fantasy asset. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Optioned to Iowa
    The Cubs optioned Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni was able to crack the Opening Day roster with Patrick Wisdom on the injured list before the season began. He appeared in just eight games and only reached base once on a walk across 13 plate appearances. In a corresponding move, Patrick Wisdom was activated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Back from IL
    The Cubs activated Wisdom (back) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Wisdom went to the injured list just before Opening Day and was able to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa on April 6. During the assignment, the 32-year-old appeared in nine games and went 11-for-27 with three home runs across 36 plate appearances. Miles Mastrobuoni was optioned to Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 3:46 pm

  • Cubs activate Patrick Wisdom for Friday return
    Cubs activated INF Patrick Wisdom from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Wisdom rejoins Chicago’s crowded infield mix ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Marlins after missing the first three weeks of the season recovering from a back strain that he suffered during spring training. He figures to split time at the hot corner with Christopher Morel since Michael Busch has gotten off to such a strong start over at first base. Rotoworld Today, 3:45 pm

  • Cubs option Miles Mastrobuoni to Triple-A
    Cubs optioned INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni has been shipped back to the minors with Patrick Wisdom returning from the injured list to take his spot on Chicago’s bench. The 28-year-old’s defensive versatility is a nice feature for the Cubs, but he’s gone 0-for-12 at the dish this season, and is a career .217 hitter in the majors. Rotoworld Today, 3:42 pm

  • Brandon Drury (hamstring) pinch-hits on Thursday
    Brandon Drury (hamstring) grounded out as a pinch-hitter on Thursday in the Angels’ loss to the Rays.

    Advice: Drury was held out of the lineup for the third consecutive contest due to ongoing left hamstring tightness, but was able to come off the bench in the ninth inning of this one. The 31-year-old infielder remains day-to-day for now and should be a full-go in a couple days, if not sooner. Rotoworld Today, 1:51 pm

  • MRI on Rafael Devers’ knee reveals bone bruise
    Rafael Devers is day-to-day with a left knee bone bruise.

    Advice: Red Sox manager Alex Cora added that he doesn’t think Devers will require a trip to the injured list. It’s an extremely encouraging development for Boston, and fantasy managers, after a precautionary MRI on Thursday confirmed that Devers isn’t dealing with any major structural damage in his left knee. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar will likely require a few additional days off to rest and recover, but doesn’t appear to be facing an extended absence. Rotoworld Today, 1:47 pm
