  • White Sox option Dominic Fletcher to Triple-A
    White Sox optioned OF Dominic Fletcher to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: The 26-year-old outfielder went hitless in four of his past six games and now will head to the minors. It’s definitely a disappointing start to the season for Fletcher after he played well for the Diamondbacks last season going .301/.350/.441 in his 102 plate appearances. Rotoworld 1 minute ago
  • Starting Friday
    Urias is starting at third base and batting ninth Friday against the Athletics, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: The 29-year-old has just two starts in Baltimore's past 14 games, but he's back in the lineup Friday and should have a more regular role after top prospect Jackson Holliday was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Urias had a .703 OPS in 116 games last season but is off to a slow start in 2024 with a .194/.216/.222 slash line in 37 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 1 minute ago

  • Getting start at third base
    Brujan will start at third base and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Brujan is getting the call at the hot corner as Emmanuel Rivera receives a day off. The utility player has gone just 2-for-23 in his first 16 games as a Marlin. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
  • Marlins place Jesús Luzardo (elbow) on 15-day IL
    Marlins placed LHP Jesús Luzardo on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 23, with left elbow tightness.

    Advice: No surprise here. Luzardo was supposed to make a start against the Nationals on Friday, but he was scratched due to elbow discomfort and now he’ll be sidelined for at least the next two weeks. It’s unclear if this is a recent injury or something the 26-year-old has been dealing with for some time now, but he’ll look to heal up and improve an inflated 6.58 ERA through his first five starts this season.

  • Remains out of lineup
    Yoshida is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Cubs.

    Advice: It marks the fourth straight game that Yoshida is absent from the lineup. Devers is getting another start at designated hitter Friday and the Red Sox don't seem to trust Yoshida in the outfield, leading to him receiving just one plate appearance so far this week. The plan is for Devers to return to third base Saturday, with Yoshida being used at DH that day. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
  • Sitting out Friday
    Abreu is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Southpaw Shota Imanaga is toeing the rubber for the Cubs, so the left-handed hitting Abreu is receiving a day off. Tyler O'Neill will cover right field and Rob Refsnyder will get a start in left for the Red Sox. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
  • Getting another rehab start
    Means (forearm) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: The Orioles previously hadn't ruled out the possibility that Means' next start could come in the majors, but ultimately they've decided to give him at least one more tune-up. It's not a surprise, as the southpaw has really struggled on his rehab assignment to this point, collecting a 13.89 ERA, 2.41 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB in 11.2 innings. Means did get his pitch count up to 79 in his last outing, so he should be fully built up after Sunday's start. He could make his season debut with the Orioles as soon as May 3 in Cincinnati.

  • Removed from 40-man roster
    Short was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday.

    Advice: Short is clearing out as J.D. Martinez is added to the Mets' active roster. The 28-year-old utility player had received just 12 plate appearances this month with the big club, picking up one hit. It's possible he'll draw some interest from a team seeking defensive versatility. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

  • Officially added to roster
    The Mets recalled Martinez from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

    Advice: Martinez had his Mets debut delayed a bit by a minor back issue, but he's ready to go now following five tune-up games in the minors. The 36-year-old went 6-for-19 with two doubles and a 2:2 K:BB in those contests. Manager Carlos Mendoza has said Martinez will not play every day right away, as the club plans to ease him into things as he faces major-league pitching for the first time since last October. Eventually, he will be the team's everyday designated hitter. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
