  • Likely to fill in for Crawford
    Moore will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: He'll man shortstop for the second game in a row and is expected to serve as the main option at the position after J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, according to Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM. Moore has a pair of 20-steal seasons on his resume and already has five stolen bases in just 53 plate appearances so far in 2024, so his speed could make him an appealing short-term option in deeper mixed leagues now that he's on track to get consistent playing time.

  • Mariners place J.P. Crawford (oblique) on 10-day IL
    Mariners placed INF J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 24, with a right oblique strain.

    Advice: Crawford was pulled from the starting lineup on Wednesday after he experienced discomfort in warmups and now will be sidelined for at least the next week or so. The 29-year-old was starting to get in a rhythm at the plate going 7-for-21 (.333 AVG) with four RBI in his past five games. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Mariners transferred Santos (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

    Advice: The transaction was made in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Leonardo Rivas, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma. Santos is in the midst of a throwing program as he works his way back from a right lat strain, but the Mariners are proceeding conservatively with him. He won't be eligible to make his season debut until late May. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Mariners transfer Gregory Santos to 60-day IL
    Mariners transferred RHP Gregory Santos to the 60-day injured list with a right lat strain.

    Advice: Santos’ hasn’t been able to pitch with his lat strain and even with a positive result from an MRI, the team has decided to shelf the 24-year-old hurler for an extended period of time. This is a brutal blow for fantasy managers who were expecting Santos to return by the end of May. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
     
  • Starting Sunday
    Valdez (elbow) will start Sunday's game against the Rockies, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Valdez has been on the IL since April 9 due to inflammation in his left elbow. He built up to 40 pitches in his last bullpen session Wednesday, so his first start back from the injured list will likely be an abbreviated one, but his return will still give Houston's a much-needed boost following the loss of Cristian Javier (neck). Valdez surrendered three earned runs and struck out 10 batters over 12.1 innings across his first two starts before getting injured. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting Thursday
    Lipscomb isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Lipscomb will take a seat after going 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored during Wednesday's loss. Joey Meneses will start at first base in his absence, moving Jesse Winker into the DH spot while Eddie Rosario starts in left field. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Not starting Thursday
    Mervis is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Following his promotion from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Mervis served as the Cubs' designated hitter in both of the ensuing two games, going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts between those contests. Though he'll retreat to the bench Thursday, the lefty-hitting Mervis will likely see the bulk of the starts at DH against right-handed pitching until the Cubs get Seiya Suzuki (oblique) from the 10-day injured list.

  • Gets first off day of season
    Morel is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: The Cubs will hand Morel his first day off of the season while he's fallen into a slump at the dish of late; he's gone 4-for-45 (.089 average) and is getting on base at a .222 clip over his last 13 games. Morel still looks to be entrenched in an everyday role at third base, but Nick Madrigal will occupy the hot corner Thursday. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

  • Losing work to Amaya
    Gomes is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Gomes is on the bench for the seventh time in 10 games and appears to have moved into the No. 2 catcher role behind youngster Miguel Amaya, who draws another start Thursday. The 36-year-old is a trusted game caller behind the plate but has taken a big step back with the bat in 2024, posting a .486 OPS while striking out at a career-worst 35.1 percent rate through 37 plate appearances.
