  • Vinnie Pasquantino gets Sunday off vs. Tigers
    Vinnie Pasquantino is out of the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Pasquantino has gone hitless over his last five games, and the 26-year-old will take a seat for Sunday’s contest with tough lefty Tarik Skubal on the bump for the Tigers. Salvador Perez draws the start at first base with Freddy Fermin behind the plate and Adam Frazier the designated hitter. Rotoworld 3 minutes ago
     
  • Expected Tuesday
    The Red Sox expect Cooper to be activated for Tuesday's series opener against the Giants, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Red Sox acquired Cooper from the Cubs for cash considerations on Saturday. Boston manager Alex Cora didn't immediately reveal how Cooper will be deployed, but it sounds like the newly acquired first baseman will get the bulk of starts. "Obviously, he's a guy that can put together a good at-bat," Cora said. "He can hit lefties and righties. He's a good defender. We do believe he's going to help us out." Cooper should move immediately to the top of the depth chart. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Marlins remove Kent Emanuel from 40-man roster
    Marlins designated LHP Kent Emanuel for assignment.

    Advice: Emanuel was only with the Marlins for one game before being DFAd. Miami selected the contract of right-hander Emmanuel Ramirez in the corresponding transaction. if Emanuel goes unclaimed, he’ll likely report back to Triple-A Jacksonville. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Homers, extends hitting streak
    Jeffers went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Saturday's win over the Angels.

    Advice: Jeffers recorded a single in his second at-bat to extend his hitting streak to six games and then added a two-run homer in the top of the ninth as the Twins ran away with the win. The catcher has now homered in two of his last three contests and has recorded at least one RBI in three straight. All five of his home runs have come in April, where he's batting .333 with 16 RBI and 11 runs scored. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Dispatched to Triple-A
    The Mets optioned Walker to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

    Advice: Walker made relief appearances in both of the past two days, so his demotion likely has less to do with the Mets' dissatisfaction with his performance than it does the team's desire to add a fresh arm to the bullpen. Lefty Danny Young was brought in from Syracuse in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Back on bench Sunday
    Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Ruiz had started in each of the Athletics' last three games and five of the previous six contests, but he'll head to the bench Sunday. With Brent Rooker recently returning from the injured list and with Seth Brown, JJ Bleday and Lawrence Butler seemingly representing greater priorities in the outfield, Ruiz may be the odd man out for a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching.

  • Alec Burleson out Sunday against Mets
    Alec Burleson is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Mets.

    Advice: Burleson will take a seat against southpaw Jose Quintana for the series finale. Willson Contreras is lined up as the designated hitter with Ivan Herrera getting a start behind the plate. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Sit again versus righty
    Allen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: For the second time in three games, Allen will hit the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Albert Suarez) while Darell Hernaiz checks in for him at shortstop. Allen is the more established big-league player of the two shortstops, but given that he posted a lowly .550 OPS over 329 plate appearances in 2023 and is off to an even worse start in 2024 (.490 OPS In 73 plate appearances), the Athletics could be motivated to give the rookie Hernaiz an extended look at the position.

  • Slugs homer in rout
    Judge went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in a 15-3 win against the Brewers on Saturday.

    Advice: Judge contributed to New York's demolition of Milwaukee on Saturday with a 417-foot, two-run blast to center field in the sixth inning. It was just the fifth homer of the year for the slugger, who is off to a slow start with a .190/.326/.390 slash line through 128 plate appearances. Judge's .200 ISO is easily on pace for his lowest mark over any full season of his big-league career. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
