  • Elias Díaz exits game due to leg injury
    Elias Díaz left Monday’s game in the first inning with an apparent leg injury sustained running to first base.

    Advice: This will probably quiet any trade talk for a while. Jacob Stallings, who has been a nice surprise in limited action this year, took over behind the plate against the Twins. If Díaz goes on the IL, the Rockies could call up another catcher, but they wouldn’t necessarily need to with Hunter Goodman capable of serving as a backup. They don’t have any other catchers on the 40-man roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:57 pm
     
  • Expected to be recalled
    The Astros are expected to recall Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 in Houston reports.

    Advice: Yainer Diaz was hit in the right hand by a foul tip during Sunday's loss to the Angels. He stayed in and finished that game, but Salazar being added to the roster might indicate Diaz will have to miss some time. The Astros should offer more clarity soon.

  • Absent from lineup
    Jansen is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Milwaukee.

    Advice: It looks to be a routine day off for Jansen, who had started the last two and three of the previous four contests. Alejandro Kirk will do the catching for Jose Berrios on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:36 pm
     
  • Taking seat against lefty
    Melendez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: After starting in each of the Royals' last four games while the opposition brought right-handed starters to the hill for every contest, the lefty-hitting Melendez will exit the lineup while southpaw Carlos Rodon takes the hill for the Yankees. Melendez has logged just 33 plate appearances versus lefties this season and is slashing .156/.182/.156 in those matchups. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:28 pm

  • Getting rest Monday
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Rortvedt will get a break for the series finale after he caught all nine innings of Sunday's 9-2 loss while going 1-for-4 with a double. Alex Jackson will step in behind the dish Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:55 am
     
  • Max Stassi undergoes season-ending surgery
    Max Stassi underwent a season-ending left hip surfacing procedure on Friday.

    Advice: Stassi was originally on the injured list with a hip injury, but then suffered a setback after being hit in the hard; yet, it’s his hip that will end his season. That’s sad news for the veteran, who also missed the first half of last season with a hip injury as well. It’s fair to wonder if this could lead to the end of the 33-year-old’s MLB career.

  • Opts for season-ending surgery
    The White Sox announced that Stassi underwent a season-ending left hip surfacing procedure Friday in New York City.

    Advice: After missing the entire 2023 season while he was a member of the Angels due to a hip injury in addition to a family medical issue, Stassi will now go another full season without logging any big-league action. The veteran catcher was able to make five rehab appearances at Triple-A Charlotte in April but had been shut down ever since due to a hip injury that apparently wasn't improving after nearly two months of rest. The White Sox hold a $7.5 million team option on Stassi for the 2025 season that the club will almost certainly decline this winter, if he isn't cut loose before then.

  • Homers in loss
    Maile went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs.

    Advice: The Reds' offense busted out the last week during the club's seven-game winning streak but was dormant Sunday. Maile launched his second homer and has hit safely in seven of the last nine games (7-for-23, .304). Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:44 am
     
  • Sent back to Triple-A
    The Phillies returned Marchan to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

    Advice: Marchan will head back to Lehigh Valley after he joined the Phillies over the weekend and served as the club's 27th man for its two-game set in London versus the Mets. He didn't appear in either contest and hasn't seen any big-league action since 2021. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:05 am
