  • RBI in loss
    Farmer went 1-for-3 with an RBI in the 4-2 loss to the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Advice: Farmer has played in six games since Carlos Correa injured his oblique bouncing between third and shortstop over the past week. While the Twins have said the All-Star's injury is relatively minor, his return status remains unclear, which should open up opportunities for Farmer to get more at-bats. A lifetime .252 hitter, there's bound to be a bit of positive regression to the mean with the veteran averaging .097 across 38 at-bats this season. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago

  • One walk, one run in win
    Short went 0-for-3 with one run and one walk in the 9-1 win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

    Advice: With Brett Baty out due to a hamstring injury, Short got just his second start since April. The utility infielder likely will have a spot carved out on the roster due to his versatility, and he's at least not a minus runner in the event he's able to get on base. Don't expect the 28-year-old to see much more than a spot start on occasion unless multiple members of the infield pick up injuries. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Activated, starting Friday
    Massey (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base Friday versus the Orioles,

    Advice: The 26-year-old opened the season on the injured list due to a back strain but is back with the Royals after he posted a 1.123 OPS over an eight-game rehab assignment. Massey should split playing time at the keystone with veteran Adam Frazier. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Royals activate Michael Massey from IL
    Royals activated Michael Massey from the 10-day injured list and is batting seventh against the Orioles on Friday.

    Advice: When Nick Loftin was optioned on Thursday, the thought was that Massey was making his way back to the active roster and that is the case. The 26-year-old experienced back tightness in spring training and was rehabbing with both Double and Triple-A teams to get back to full strength. He’ll join a Royals team that is having their best 19-game start since 2021. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Rehab stint delayed
    LeMahieu (foot) won't begin his rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset as scheduled Friday after an MRI showed less healing than was hoped for, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

    Advice: The veteran infielder said he's "ready to go" but has yet to be cleared for game action. LeMahieu will take batting practice and go through infield drills over the next few days. Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday is now the target date for LeMahieu to begin the rehab assignment, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • DJ LeMahieu (foot) won’t start rehab assignment
    DJ LeMahieu said team doctors don’t feel comfortable having him start a rehab assignment this week following an MRI on Thursday.

    Advice: Well this sounds a bit ominous. The 35-year-old was slated to begin a rehab assignment this week, but now will stay sidelined until the team feels he’s ready for live action. Yankees manager Aaron Boone added that the team is targeting next Tuesday as a date for him to begin his rehab assignment. LeMahieu started the season on the injured list with a fractured right foot and it looks like he’ll need more time before he’s put on the active roster. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago

  • Sits vs. lefty
    Guillorme is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Texas.

    Advice: The 29-year-old started the past two games at second base after Ozzie Albies (toe) was placed on the injured list, but the lefty-hitting Guillorme will sit Friday as southpaw Andrew Heaney pitches for the Rangers. David Fletcher will take over at the keystone and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Returns to lineup Friday
    Drury (hamstring) will be the designated hitter and bat fifth in Friday's game in Cincinnati.

    Advice: Drury missed three games with tightness in his left hamstring, but he's ready to at least hit on Friday against his former team, the Reds. The 31-year-old has gotten off to a slow start at the plate for the Angels this season, putting up a .570 OPS with one home run in 16 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 11:56 am
     
  • Homers in first minors game
    Hernaiz, optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over Tacoma on Thursday.

    Advice: Hernaiz put the first runs of the night on the board in the third inning with his shot to center, which plated Brett Harris. The 22-year-old struggled badly with big-league pitching during his 17-game stint in the majors; however, he got his 2024 minor-league tenure off in a manner akin to his 2023 body of work on the farm, when he fashioned a .319/.384/.454 slash line across 131 games between Double-A Midland and Triple-A Las Vegas.
