  • Aiming to be available Friday
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that the team hopes Grissom (hamstring/illness) is ready to make his season debut Friday in Minnesota, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Grissom had been slated for his season and Red Sox debut Tuesday after overcoming a hamstring injury, but he's been delayed due to illness. Boston wraps up a homestand Thursday and it's hopeful Grissom can be ready Friday for the start of a road trip. Grissom is slated for everyday second baseman duties with the Red Sox.

  • Cranks two more homers
    Adames went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Rays.

    Advice: Adames extended the Brewers' lead to 3-0 with a solo shot off Zach Eflin in the sixth inning before breaking the game open with a three-run blast off Erasmo Ramirez in the seventh. Adames now has three homers and eight RBI in his last two contests after going 16 games without a long ball. Overall, the 28-year-old shortstop is slashing .278/.373/.496 with six homers, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and four steals through 30 games this season. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Red Sox place Masataka Yoshida on 10-day IL
    Red Sox placed OF Masataka Yoshida on the 10-day injured list with a left hand injury.

    Advice: The 30-year-old was held out of Tuesday’s lineup with the injury and is going to miss at least a couple of weeks while recovering. No word yet on the corresponding move, but it sounds like Dominic Smith’s deal could be finalized before first pitch on Wednesday and he could jump right onto the active roster.

  • Astros recall Trey Cabbage from Triple-A
    Astros recalled OF Trey Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: As anticipated, Cabbage will take the roster spot vacated by the recently-demoted Jose Abreu. The 26-year-old outfielder was off to a nice start at Triple-A Sugar Land — slashing .271/.440/.486 with three homers, nine RBI, seven stolen bases and a 29/21 K/BB ratio over 91 plate appearances. He could be an interesting fantasy option in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues if he works his way into regular playing time with the Astros. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

  • Begins serving suspension Wednesday
    Siri's (thigh) had his three-game suspension reduced to two games following an appeal and began serving the ban in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Brewers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Siri was handed the suspension as a result of his role in Tuesday's bench-clearing brawl with the Brewers. He ended up being held out of the lineup Wednesday with a sore left thigh, and that game will count toward his time served for the suspension. He'll serve the final game of his suspension Friday against the Mets, but he should be ready to play Saturday, assuming the thigh issue isn't still presenting complications for him.

  • Starting at shortstop Wednesday
    Brujan will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Brujan had been set to get the day off, but he'll be pressed into the starting nine at shortstop after Tim Anderson (thumb) was scratched from the lineup. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • Matt Vierling homers, knocks in three runs
    Matt Vierling went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a sac fly against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

    Advice: The homer was on a truly awful curveball from Miles Mikolas. That was the third hardest-hit ball of the game. His first-inning single was the second hardest at 109.9 mph, trailing only a Willson Contreras homer. Vierling has always shown ample power, but he’s lifting the ball more often this year and he’s off to a nice start at .282/.311/.447. The Tigers will likely want to keep him in the lineup regularly after Gio Urshela returns. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago

  • Nolan Gorman goes 0-for-3 against Tigers
    Nolan Gorman went 0-for-3 in the loss to the Tigers on Wednesday, dropping his average to .190.

    Advice: Statcast thinks Gorman has been fairly unlucky, but his strikeout rate remains terrible and he’s not hitting the ball hard as consistently as he did last year. The Cardinals should stick with him for now, but they might consider sending him down if he’s still not hitting once Tommy Edman returns. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago

  • Angels place Miguel Sanó (knee) on 10-day IL
    Angels placed INF Miguel Sanó on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 28, with left knee inflammation.

    Advice: The Angels had been playing a man down while the 30-year-old slugger was hobbled by a knee injury, but they simply couldn’t do it any longer. Willie Calhoun had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake to take his place on the active roster. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago
