  • Sidelined by illness
    Rengifo (illness) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Rengifo has been held out of the lineup for five straight games with the illness, so his stint on the injured list will be retroactive to May 6. Kyren Paris was recalled from Double-A Rocket City in the corresponding move and should take over in a utility role while Rengifo is sidelined. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

  • In Thursday's lineup
    Guillorme will hit eighth and play second base Thursday against the Royals.

    Advice: The Angels acquired Guillorme Thursday and he'll immediately be set for his debut with the team. With Brandon Drury (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Guillorme could be in line for regular playing time in the short term. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago

  • Begins rehab assignment
    Urshela (hamstring) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

    Advice: Urshela has been on the injured list since April 20 due to a strained right hamstring, and he has now been given the go-ahead to test his hamstring in a competitive setting. It's unclear how long he will remain in the minors, but it's possible the Tigers wait to activate him Monday ahead of their upcoming series against the Marlins. Rotowire.com Today, 3:53 pm

  • Gio Urshela starts rehab assignment on Thursday
    Gio Urshela (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: Urshela has been on the shelf since late April due to a right hamstring strain. The 32-year-old veteran corner infielder will likely need a handful of rehab contests to ramp up before returning to Detroit’s lineup. Rotoworld Today, 2:17 pm

  • Jeimer Candelario swats solo homer in loss
    Jeimer Candelario hit a solo homer Thursday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Candelario got the Reds on the board with a solo blast off Slade Cecconi in the fifth inning. The 30-year-old has driven in just 12 runs over 36 games in 2024, and the homer is the fourth of the year. Better things should be ahead for Candelario in the coming months, if not sooner.

  • Headed to Atlanta
    Atlanta acquired Short from the Red Sox on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.

    Advice: He will slide right into the role fellow utility infielder Luis Guillorme vacated after being traded to the Angels earlier Thursday. Short, who will turn 29 later this month, is a career .169/.262/.299 hitter over parts of four major-league seasons and has managed just one base hit in 2024 between his time with the Mets and Red Sox.

  • Receiving rest day
    Chapman is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Chapman will take a seat for the first time since April 20 in what likely amounts to a maintenance day as the Giants and Rockies wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Wilmer Flores will fill in at the hot corner for Chapman, who has seen his performance both in the field and at the plate take a step back in 2024 since signing with the Giants in March. He enters Thursday's contest with a .601 OPS, the lowest mark of any season in his career by more than 100 points (.717 in 2021 with Oakland). Rotowire.com Today, 9:34 am
