    • Pirates activate Taylor from paternity list
      Pirates activated OF Michael A. Taylor from the paternity list.

      Advice: Taylor is back with the club after taking care of things more important than baseball for a few days. He’ll begin Friday night’s game against the Twins on the bench. Rotoworld 3 minutes ago
       
    • Pirates optioned Liover Peguero to Triple-A
      Pirates optioned INF Liover Peguero to Triple-A Indianapolis.

      Advice: Peguero was recalled earlier this week with Michael A. Taylor going on the paternity list. Now that Taylor is back, Peguero is on his way back to Triple-A. The 23-year-old infielder could be a bench option again at some point for the Pirates. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago

      Advice: Cannon had a 7.24 ERA in three starts for the White Sox earlier this year. He has a 5.50 ERA in eight starts with Tripe-A this year. Cannon figures to pitch out of the bullpen with Chicago this time around. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
       
    • On bench Friday
      Newman is out of the lineup for Friday's game against San Diego.

      Advice: The 30-year-old will yield to Blaze Alexander on Friday despite Newman a six-game hit streak. On the year, Newman is slashing .260/.294/.377 with a 14.8 percent strikeout rate in 155 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

    • Marlins placed SS Anderson on bereavement list
      Marlins placed SS Tim Anderson on the bereavement list.

      Advice: Anderson has struggled mightily this season. He’s hitting .188 with no home runs in 165 at-bats with Miami this year. He’ll be out for a few games now that he’s on the bereavement list. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
       
    • Getting day off
      Gurriel is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

      Advice: Gurriel will get a breather Friday after making five straight starts in left field. Jake McCarthy will slide to left while Randal Grichuk steps into right field. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
       
    • Brewers optioned Ashby to Triple-A
      Brewers optioned LHP Aaron Ashby to Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: Ashby had a 6.23 ERA in two starts with the Brewers this year and didn’t appear in the majors last season. The 26-year-old left-hander also had a 6.80 ERA at Triple-A this year. He’s off the fantasy radar. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
       
    • Idle again
      Loftin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Loftin will be out of the starting lineup for a second straight day, giving way to Adam Frazier at second base. Loftin had started in six of the Royals' previous seven games, but they'll opt for the lefty-hitting Frazier on Friday. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
       
    • Optioned to Triple-A
      The Brewers optioned Ashby to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

      Advice: The Brewers are down multiple starters due to injury, so this move seems to reflect their lack of faith in Ashby right now. The left-hander made a start Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing just two runs but walking five over five innings. He will join the rotation at Nashville. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
