  • Retreating to bench Monday
    Miranda is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Miranda should be an indirect beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint while Byron Buxton (knee) is on the 10-day injured list, as Miranda had started at third base in each of the previous three games while Willi Castro moved to the outfield to help cover for Buxton's absence. However, Castro will draw the start at the hot corner Monday, opening up center field for Manuel Margot. Rotowire.com Today, 1:49 pm
     
  • Taking seat Monday
    Machado is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: It's a rare day off for Machado, who had started nine straight after returning from paternity leave. Donovan Solano will handle third base Monday in his first start with the Padres. Rotowire.com Today, 1:47 pm
     
  • Filling bench role Monday
    Black is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: After being called up from Triple-A Nashville last Tuesday, Black worked in a reserve role for his MLB debut that day but proceeded to start at first base or designated hitter in each of the Brewers' subsequent four contests. Black went 2-for-15 with seven strikeouts over those four starts, but the Brewers will likely give him some more time to right the ship as an everyday player, at least against right-handed pitching. The lefty-hitting Black will hit the bench against Royals southpaw Cole Ragans on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:38 pm

  • Pablo Reyes sent outright to Triple-A by Boston
    Red Sox sent INF Pablo Reyes outright to Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: Reyes was designated for assignment and went unclaimed. The 30-year-old could elect free agency, but he also has the option to just report back to the minors to provide organizational depth. Rotoworld Today, 1:36 pm

  • Remains in organization
    Reyes cleared waivers and was outright to Triple-A Worcester by the Red Sox on Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Reyes no longer has a spot on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as utility depth. He's put up just a .183/.234/.217 batting line over 61 plate appearances with the big club in 2024. Rotowire.com Today, 1:20 pm

  • Back in action Monday
    Lopez (adductor) will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Lopez was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals with adductor soreness, but the injury was apparently just a minor concern. After serving as the White Sox's leadoff hitter in each of his last 12 starts, the lefty-hitting Lopez will drop the bottom of the order Monday, likely because Chicago is opposing a southpaw in Tyler Alexander.

  • May begin rehab assignment this week
    Urshela (hamstring) could join Triple-A Toledo this week to begin a rehab assignment, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Urshela remained with the Tigers for Monday's series opener in Cleveland and was spotted doing some pregame running on the field in what McCosky describes as a potential final test before the third baseman is cleared for a rehab assignment. Before landing on the 10-day injured list April 20, Urshela slashed .298/.310/.333 over 58 plate appearances with the Tigers. Rotowire.com Today, 12:57 pm

    Rengifo was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game in Pittsburgh, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: He had been set to return following a two-game absence due to illness, but Fletcherrelays that Rengifo is still experiencing some symptoms of the ailment and will get another day off to recover. Brandon Drury was added to the lineup as Rengifo's replacement at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:15 pm
