  • Athletics recall Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A
    Athletics recalled SS Darell Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas

    Advice: The A’s will bring up the 22-year-old infielder who is filling the roster spot for Zack Gelof. Herniaz has struggled at the major league level where he’s slashed .103/.156/.103 in his 17 games this season. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Claimed by Yankees
    The Yankees claimed Tonkin off waivers from the Mets on Thursday.

    Advice: After being DFA'd for the third time this month Monday, Tonkin will now move from Queens to the Bronx and retain a spot on a 40-man roster. The 34-year-old right-hander has allowed six earned runs across nine innings between the Twins and Mets this season and will likely be limited to low-leverage situations with the Yankees. McKinley Moore was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees designate McKinley Moore for assignment
    Yankees designated RHP McKinley Moore for assignment.

    Advice: The 25-year-old recently was on the injured list with a knee injury but was activated a couple weeks ago. He hasn’t pitched in the majors this season, but did last season with the Phillies where he pitched 3 1/3 innings and allowed seven earned runs on five hits. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Designated for assignment
    Moore was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Thursday.

    Advice: He's losing his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Michael Tonkin, who was claimed off waivers. Moore missed the first couple weeks of this season with a knee injury and since returning has allowed two runs with a 1:6 K:BB over two-thirds of an inning. The 25-year-old has missed a ton of bats in the minors in the past, so even with his current struggles he could receive interest via trade or waivers. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees claim Michael Tonkin off waivers
    Yankees claimed RHP Michael Tonkin off waivers from the Mets.

    Advice: Tonkin will go from Queens to the Bronx after he was designated for assignment by the Mets earlier this week. The Yankees will be Tonkin’s third team this season as the the 34-year-old also had a short stint with the Twins. He’ll add some bullpen depth for the Yankees. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched from lineup Thursday
    Merrill was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado due to right groin tightness, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Jose Acocar will shift over to center field, Tyler Wade will move to left and Eguy Rosario will enter the lineup at third base. At this point, Merrill should be considered day-to-day, but the Padres could offer more on his outlook following Thursday's contest. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    Fletcher was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

    Advice: Fletcher appeared in five games for Atlanta after being selected from Triple-A on April 16, going 2-for-8 with two RBI. He will remain in the organization as he returns to the minors, though he no longer holds a spot on the 40-man roster. No corresponding move was announced alongside Fletcher's demotion, which may point toward a potential return from the IL for Ozzie Albies (toe) before Friday's game against Cleveland.

  • Braves outright David Fletcher to Triple-A
    Braves sent INF David Fletcher outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: Fletcher cleared waivers and will head back to the minors. One could speculate this means that Ozzie Albies may return to the lineup soon, which would be a boost for the Braves’ offense and fantasy managers that have him rostered. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
     
  • Likely to make another rehab start
    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Manoah (shoulder) is likely to make another rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Manoah was roughed up for six runs on seven hits and four walks over three innings in his latest start with Buffalo on Wednesday. Three of his four rehab outings have been poor, and overall batters have hit .406/.474/.703 off Manoah. He does not appear close to being ready to help out the major-league club.
