  • Suffers fractured big toe
    Renfroe has been diagnosed with a broken left big toe, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Renfroe was unable to continue Monday after fouling a pair of pitches off his left foot, and the team later revealed that he had suffered a toe fracture. Kansas City has yet to establish a timeline for his return, but Renfroe will almost certainly require a trip to the injured list to rehab. Dairon Blanco appears to be the next man up in right field, though Nelson Velazquez and Adam Frazier are also candidates to see time. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Hunter Renfroe suffers fractured toe versus Yankees
    Hunter Renfroe was diagnosed with a fracture in his left big toe after fouling a ball off his foot and leaving Monday’s game.

    Advice: Renfroe likely will land on the IL, though this may not be a long absence if it’s just a hairline fracture. Unfortunately, this comes just as Renfroe had started to get it together; he’d hit .326 with three homers in his last 15 games to raise his OPS from .478 to .638. The Royals could call up Drew Waters and give him a look in right field. Adam Frazier and Dairon Blanco could also see additional time. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

  • Exits early Monday
    Renfroe left Monday's game against the Yankees due to an apparent lower body injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Renfroe fouled two pitches off his foot during an at-bat in the third inning, and he was removed from the matchup shortly after. The team should have another update on the outfielder's status after running more tests. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    Smith was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

    Advice: Smith will head to Triple-A after struggling to find consistent opportunities with the major-league roster, batting .275 with two homers, seven RBI and five runs scored over 40 total at-bats since the beginning of May. The 27-year-old will now likely get extended run with Reno and he'll almost assuredly get another shot with the Diamondbacks down the road this season. In the meantime, Christian Walker will continue to handle the lion's share of work at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 5:42 pm
     
  • Dealing with knee soreness
    Flores is dealing with knee soreness, but he's available off the bench Monday versus the Astros, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Flores went 3-for-13 with two solo home runs over the team's three-game series in Texas, but manager Bob Melvin said Monday that the 32-year-old's knee is a little sore after San Francisco's second straight series on turf. There currently doesn't appear to be any long-term concern with the veteran's health. Rotowire.com Today, 5:23 pm

  • Wilmer Flores out of lineup with sore knee
    Wilmer Flores is dealing with some knee soreness and was not included in Monday’s lineup against the Astros.

    Advice: Flores’s knee was acting up after playing on turf in Texas, but he’s probably still available off the bench. The Giants didn’t have the DH spot available for him with Jorge Soler locked in there. Rotoworld Today, 5:12 pm

    Yainer Díaz is out of Monday’s lineup because of a bruised right index finger, but he is available off the bench for the Astros.

    Advice: Victor Caratini is starting behind the plate against the Giants tonight. Díaz was hurt when he was hit by a foul ball Sunday. Rotoworld Today, 5:01 pm

  • Dealing with soreness
    Diaz isn't starting Monday's game against the Giants due to soreness and limited range of motion in his right index finger, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Diaz took a foul tip to his right hand during Sunday's game against the Angels, and he didn't feel healthy enough to start Monday's series opener. However, manager Joe Espada noted Diaz will be available to pinch hit if needed. Victor Caratini draws the start behind the dish and will bat ninth in Diaz's place. Rotowire.com Today, 4:59 pm
