  • Rehab start coming soon
    Luzardo (elbow) threw a successful bullpen session Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Luzardo will make a rehab start sometime during the Marlins' upcoming road trip. The left-hander is eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list on May 10, and it sounds like he could be ready to start against the Phillies that day.

    Amaya is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

  • Returns from 7-day IL
    Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre reinstated Gonzalez (orbital) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Gonzalez picked up his first starts of the season for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday and Wednesday, going 1-for-9 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base. The 26-year-old outfielder/designated hitter missed the first month of the season while recovering from a fractured right orbital, which he sustained when he fouled a ball off his face in a March 25 exhibition. Gonzalez appeared in five rehab games for Single-A Tampa before joining Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's active roster. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Absent from lineup
    Martinez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Martinez has been given one day off in each of his first two series since joining the Mets as the club eases him back into action. That plan could continue for a bit longer before he assumes everyday designated hitter duties. DJ Stewart will be the Mets' DH on Thursday. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Nabs fourth straight start
    Grisham will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Orioles, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Grisham will get his fourth straight start in center field, but his run of regular playing time should soon come to an end. During the first three starts, the Yankees were without Alex Verdugo (personal), who was on the paternity list. Verdugo has rejoined the Yankees for Thursday's series finale in Baltimore and will start in left field, but New York will have room in center field for Grisham once again while Aaron Judge serves as the designated hitter in place of a resting Giancarlo Stanton. Grisham will be relegated to the fourth-outfielder role for games in which all of Judge, Verdugo, Stanton and Juan Soto are included in the lineup. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees activate Alex Verdugo from paternity list
    Yankees activated OF Alex Verdugo from the paternity list.

    Advice: Verdugo will return for the final game of a four-game series against Baltimore. The 27-year-old outfielder is on pace for his best OPS percentage since 2020 when he was with the Red Sox. He’s currently slashing .267/.358/.446 across 120 plate appearances this season. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees option Carlos Narváez to Triple-A
    Yankees option C Carlos Narváez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Narvaez was called up while Alex Verdugo was away from the team for the birth of his child. The 25-year-old backstop returns to Triple-A where he’s slashed .211/.376/.342 with two homers and 12 RBI this season. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Held out with illness
    Lindor (illness) is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Cubs.

    Advice: Lindor had to be removed from Wednesday's game due to illness and will now miss his first start of the season Thursday. He'll hope to be ready for Friday's series opener in Tampa Bay. Joey Wendle will again fill in for Lindor at shortstop on Thursday. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
