  • Nabs fourth steal Sunday
    Butler went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

    Advice: Butler snapped a brief 0-for-6 skid that had encompassed his last three games, and the steal was his first of the rookie's current big-league stint. Despite Sunday's modest success, Butler hasn't been much better at the plate than he was during his initial tenure with the Athletics from Opening Day through May 13 -- he's carrying a .179 average, .422 OPS and 34.5 percent strikeout rate across the 29 plate appearances he's logged since returning June 18.

  • Starting to swing bat
    Ruiz (wrist) has progressed to swinging off a tee, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Ruiz's recovery has seemingly picked up some steam after a quiet first few weeks following his placement on the IL. The speedy outfielder's progression to working with a bat was preceded by a strengthening program, and Ruiz seems to be setback-free thus far since he began ramping up his activity level.

  • Blasts 31st homer
    Judge went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in an 8-1 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

    Advice: Judge helped New York get off to a fast start with a 423-foot, two-run shot to center field in the first inning. He added a single later in the contest to notch his third straight multi-hit game, and the slugger has gone 7-for-12 with five RBI during that stretch. Judge had a monstrous June overall, slashing .409/.514/.864 with 11 home runs, 37 RBI, 25 runs and three stolen bases over 25 games. Rotowire.com Today, 8:48 am
     
  • Rehab assignment put on pause
    Davis had his rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona put on hold over the weekend after he experienced recurring concussion symptoms, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Initially placed on the 7-day injured list June 15 after experiencing concussion-like symptoms a day earlier in the Pirates' win over the Rockies, Davis was cleared to begin his rehab assignment last Wednesday. However, after appearing in two games with Altoona, Davis suffered an apparent setback and is now without a clear timeline to resume the assignment. With Joey Bart beating Davis back from the 10-day IL on Sunday, the Pirates may not have room for Davis on the big-league roster once his concussion symptoms subside and he's cleared to return from the 7-day IL.

  • Nationals designate Eddie Rosario for assignment
    Nationals designated OF Eddie Rosario for assignment

    Advice: The Nationals will move on from Rosario to clear a spot on their roster for top prospect James Wood. Rosario has had a really poor season for Washington, hitting .183/.226/.329 in 67 games; however, he does have seven home runs, eight steals, and a career-high average exit velocity of 90.6 mph. As a veteran left-handed hitter, Rosario is likely to find an opportunity somewhere as a bench bat. Perhaps his old team, the Atlanta Braves, will look to bring him back after injuries to Ronald Acuna Jr. and Michael Harris II. Rotoworld Today, 7:40 am

  • Removed from 40-man roster
    The Nationals designated Rosario for assignment Monday.

    Advice: He's clearing out to make room on the 40-man roster for top prospect James Wood, who was promoted from Triple-A Rochester. The 32-year-old put up a lowly .450 OPS in June and slashed just .183/.226/.329 over 235 plate appearances on the season for Washington. Rosario will clear waivers and become a free agent in the next few days, and he should be able to find another club willing to give him a shot. Rotowire.com Today, 6:21 am

  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    The Reds outrighted Burdick to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

    Advice: While no longer on the 40-man roster, Burdick will remain in the organization after clearing waivers. He will provide the Reds with some outfield depth at Louisville. Rotowire.com Today, 6:10 am
     
  • Three hits Sunday
    Raley went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Raley was the only Mariner with more than one hit in Sunday's contest. It was his fourth time this season with three hits in a game. He wraps up the weekend going 4-for-9 after being reinserted into the lineup Saturday following some shoulder soreness he was dealing with earlier in the week. The 29-year-old is slashing .261/.305/.449 with nine homers, 23 RBI, 30 runs and an 8:69 BB:K in 221 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:00 am

  • Homers team to victory Sunday
    Larnach went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

    Advice: Larnach got the Twins on the board quickly with an RBI single in the first and later came through with a timely two-run homer in the eighth to push his club ahead 5-3. Sunday was the third time this season Larnach's had three RBI in a game, and it was his first since June 16, which was the last time he homered coming into the game. For the year, the 27-year-old is slashing .256/.306/.440 with eight homers, 28 RBI, 21 runs and a 13:33 BB:K in 183 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:11 am
