  • Pushed off 40-man
    The Reds designated Wynns for assignment Sunday.

    Advice: Just two days after having his contract selected from Louisville, Wynns will once again lose his spot on the 40-man roster without appearing in a game for the Reds. With a .726 OPS in the minors, it's possible he receives some attention on the waiver wire, but his .597 career OPS in the majors makes it likely he gets sent outright to Louisville. Livan Soto was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:13 am

  • Reds designate Austin Wynns for assignment
    Reds designated C Austin Wynns for assignment.

    Advice: Wynns was up for a couple days with Cincinnati as emergency catching depth with Tyler Stephenson not playing. The 33-year-old backstop will likely pass through waivers unclaimed and return to Triple-A Louisville as extra organizational depth. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:06 am

  • Chance to return Monday
    Davis (concussion) has resumed most baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Davis has been on the 7-day injured list since June 14 and had continued to experience some mild symptoms as of Friday. As a result, the earliest he will be activated from the IL is Monday, though his absence could extend beyond that. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:27 pm

  • Placed on IL
    The Cardinals placed Herrera on the 10-day injured list Saturday with lower-back tightness.

    Advice: Herrera's back issue forced him to miss both of St. Louis' last two games, and the Cardinals will now elect to shut him down for another week. Nick Raposo was selected from Triple-A Memphis to add depth behind the plate, though most starts will likely be given to Pedro Pages. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:16 am

  • Cards put Iván Herrera on IL with back tightness
    Cardinals placed C Iván Herrera on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 19, with lower back tightness.

    Advice: Herrera heads to the injured list after missing the last couple games for St. Louis due to a lingering back issue. It’s not a significant development for the Cardinals since rookie Pedro Pagés has pretty much overtaken Herrera for the starting catching duties. It shouldn’t be much longer before Willson Contreras (forearm) is back from the injured list, so it’s possible Herrera’s time in the majors is over for now. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:36 am

  • Sitting down Saturday
    Amaya isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Amaya will receive a day off Saturday after tallying a base hit in each of his last three games. His absence will allow Tomas Nido to make his first start behind the plate as a Cub. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:31 am
     
  • Idle Saturday
    Kelly isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Kelly will get a breather Saturday after belting a two-run home run during Friday's win. Jake Rogers will fill in behind the dish and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:22 am
     
  • Homers in win
    Kelly went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 2-1 win over the White Sox on Friday.

    Advice: Kelly's long ball off Erick Fedde in the second inning was the difference in the game. The homer was Kelly's second in four starts, and he has registered a solid .267/.353/.500 slash line in nine June contests. On the season, Kelly is slashing .238/.324/.373 with four home runs and 17 RBI over 142 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:33 pm
     
  • Carson Kelly powers Tigers past White Sox on Friday
    Carson Kelly walloped a two-run homer off of Erick Fedde in the second inning, powering the Tigers to a 2-1 victory over the White Sox in the opening game of their three-game set at Comerica Park.

    Advice: Justyn-Henry Malloy had set the stage with a double into the gap in left-center, then Kelly followed with a 412-foot (103.9 mph EV) blast to left field that gave the Tigers an early 2-0 lead that they would never relinquish. That was the last good swing that the Tigers would have against Erick Fedde and company in the ballgame, but proved to be just enough. Kelly finished the night 1-for-3 and is now slashing .238/.324/.373 with four homers and seven RBI on the year. Rotoworld Friday, 5:56 pm
