  • Headed to IL
    The Phillies placed Turner on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Turner left before the fifth inning of Friday's game against the Cubs after straining his hamstring running bases in the fourth frame. The 30-year-old shortstop was off to a hot start this season, slashing .343/.392/.460 with 10 doubles, 10 stolen bases, two home runs and nine RBI over 148 plate appearances. Edmundo Sosa is slated to take over as the primary shortstop while Turner recovers from his injury. The Phillies recalled infielder Kody Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

  • Phillies recall Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley
    Phillies recalled INF Kody Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Advice: Clemens is up with Trea Turner (hamstring) on the injured list. The 27-year-old Clemens will be a bench option for the Phillies while he’s on the active roster. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Turner heads to 10-day IL with hamstring injury
    Phillies placed INF Trea Turner on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Turner was removed from Friday’s game against the Giants with soreness in his hamstring, and the Phillies will be without the 30-year-old shortstop for the next week-plus — likely longer. Kody Clemens is up as the corresponding transaction. Edmundo Sosa will likely see most of the reps at shortstop while Turner recovers. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago

  • Back in lineup Saturday
    Grandal is starting at catcher and batting sixth in Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Grandal missed all of spring training due to plantar fasciitis in his foot, and he began the season on the 10-day IL. He played in nine rehab games with Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a .257/.316/.400 with one home run and 11 RBI over 38 plate appearances. Grandal was activated from the IL on Friday, and he's set to make his 2024 debut Saturday against Rockies southpaw Austin Gomber. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Takes big step in recovery
    Cole (elbow) threw 15 pitches off a mound Saturday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Advice: This was Cole's first bullpen session since he was shut down from throwing in mid-March, thus it was a significant milestone as the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner works his way back to the Yankees rotation. Per Goodman, Cole was "giddy" after throwing Saturday, so it appears the session went well. The veteran right-hander is eligible to come off the IL near the end of this month, but recent reports suggest that mid-June may be a more realistic target. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Blue Jays activate Kevin Kiermaier off 10-day IL
    Blue Jays activated OF Kevin Kiermaier off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Kiermaier ended up missing just the minimum 10 days after recovering from inflammation in his left hip flexor tendon. The 34-year-old will patrol center field for the Blue Jays now that he’s active with Nathan Lukes sent back to Triple-A to make room on the roster. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to Buffalo
    The Blue Jays optioned Lukes to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

    Advice: Lukes was recalled from Triple-A on Friday, but the return of Kevin Kiermaier (hip) from the injured list will force Lukes back to Buffalo without appearing in a game for Toronto. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .284/.348/.432 in the minors this season and could return to the Blue Jays if their outfield depth is tested again later in the year.

  • Nathan Lukes sent to Triple-A by Blue Jays
    Blue Jays optioned OF Nathan Lukes to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Lukes is being sent down to make room for Kevin Kiermaier with Kiermaier coming off the injured list before Saturday’s game. Lukes will likely be back as a bench option before the end of the year, but it’s unlikely he’ll ever procure a regular role. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
     
  • Picks up steal
    Blanco went 0-for-1 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Blanco pinch ran for MJ Melendez in the seventh inning, swiping a bag and scoring on a Kyle Isbel single. The steal was Blanco's first since April 9, though he went 5-for-20 with two doubles and a walk over 11 contests between thefts. He has seen a little more playing time recently, though his starts often come when another outfielder needs a day off -- there's no obvious platoon situation emerging that would get Blanco in the lineup regularly. The speedster has six steals, no home runs, no RBI, eight runs scored and two doubles over 26 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
