    • Up as 27th man
      Atlanta recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

      Advice: He will serve as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Padres. Hernandez, 27, holds a 1.65 ERA and 22:9 K:BB across 16.1 innings this season at Gwinnett. He got into four games with Atlanta last season, allowing three runs in 3.2 frames. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
    • Swipes third bag
      Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Sunday against the Yankees.

      Advice: Jimenez had a hit in all three games of the team's weekend series but none went for extra bases and he also didn't record any RBI or runs. However, he did steal his third base of the season Sunday and his second in his last four games. It's unclear what has led to his sudden aggressiveness on the basepaths, as he had never attempted a stolen base across the first five seasons of his career. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
    • Locks down save No. 3
      Sewald secured the save Sunday against the Tigers after working a perfect ninth inning. He struck out one.

      Advice: Sewald needed just 10 pitches to get the job done and picked up a strikeout against Spencer Torkelson in the process. He's now converted all three of his save chances on the year and has tossed four straight scoreless innings while giving up just one hit since giving up a run in his season debut May 7.

    • First hit since return
      Mendick went 1-for-3 with a double Sunday against the Yankees.

      Advice: Mendick was activated from the injured list Friday and has since started all three games at third base while hitting in the bottom third of the order. He collected his first hit since returning with a double in the seventh frame. With Bryan Ramos (quadriceps) sidelined, Mendick should have a clear path to playing time in the short term.

    • Role now being reconsidered
      Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol conceded after Liberatore's start Sunday versus the Red Sox that the team is now considering moving the lefty back to the bullpen, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

      Advice: Marmol had said previously that the club wanted to commit to Liberatore's role, which it did Friday in saying the southpaw would start Sunday and remain in the rotation indefinitely. However, following another unsuccessful, abbreviated start (three-plus innings, four runs), the Cards are now reconsidering the plan for Liberatore. If Liberatore does return to a relief role -- which would appear likely at this point -- it's not clear who St. Louis would slide into the rotation in his place. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
    • Still not throwing
      Gonzales (forearm) will be assessed later in May to determine when he can resume throwing, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Gonzales has been sidelined since mid-April but is expected to avoid surgery. He's experienced several consecutive symptom-free days so could be cleared to resume throwing by the close of the month. Even so, Gonzales is likely to be sidelined until at least mid-July.

    • Homers off bench
      Hamilton hit a solo home run in his lone plate appearance in Sunday's 11-3 win over St. Louis.

      Advice: Hamilton entered as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and belted his second home run of the season. He's hit in four straight games (5-for-11), but his playing time has largely dried up since Ceddanne Rafaela was moved from center field to shortstop. Hamilton's started just five times over the last 21 games. Rotowire.com Today, 6:15 am
    • Fills in at right field
      Jankowski started in right field and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Angels.

      Advice: Jankowski was a late addition to the starting lineup when Adolis Garcia (forearm) was scratched. Imaging on Garcia's forearm came back clean, leading the Rangers to believe he'll ready for Tuesday's series-opener against Philadelphia following Monday's day off. Jankowski has recently seen more playing time than normal due to a run of outfield injuries. He's 7-for-25 (.280) over the last nine games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:54 am
    • Serves as cleanup batter
      Smith started at third base, batted cleanup and went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Angels.

      Advice: Smith filled in as the cleanup hitter after Adolis Garcia was scratched with a forearm issue. He extended a hit streak to five games (7-for-20) but has cooled off overall in May (.630 OPS) after a strong April (.927). Despite the downturn, Smith still gets plenty of opportunities with Josh Jung (wrist) unavailable. Rotowire.com Today, 5:49 am
