  • Cleared to begin rehab assignment
    Hays (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hays has been working out with Bowie as he comes back from a left calf strain and is now ready to test things out in game action. With Colton Cowser's production slowing the last couple weeks, Hays could have a chance to regain more reps in left field once he's deemed ready, although they might come just against lefties initially.

  • Austin Hays starting rehab assignment Tuesday
    Austin Hays (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday.

    Advice: Hays has made steady progress from his calf strain that has had him on the shelf since April 22, and now he’ll get a chance to face minor-league pitching. The outfielder will likely need around five-plus games before he could rejoin the Orioles in the middle of May. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
     
  • Rays designate Niko Goodrum for assignment
    Rays designated INF Niko Goodrum for assignment.

    Advice: Goodrum is now off the 40-man roster. The infielder went just 4-for-37 before being optioned down to Triple-A by the Rays on Friday. The 32-year-old could see interest on the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed, he will have the option to elect free agency if he so chooses. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago

  • Pete Alonso gets first day off Monday vs. STL
    Pete Alonso is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Alonso will sit for the first time this year against right-hander Kyle Gibson and St. Louis. With the Polar Bear out of action, the Mets will start DJ Stewart and he’ll hit fourth. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
     
  • Absent from lineup
    Bader is not in the lineup for Monday's game in St. Louis.

    Advice: He'll begin this one on the bench while Brandon Nimmo slides over to center field, Jeff McNeil plays left and Joey Wendle handles second base. Bader is batting .278 this season but has managed just three extra-base hits. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Getting first day off
    Alonso is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in St. Louis.

    Advice: It's the first day off this season for Alonso, who is in a 1-for-28 drought at the plate to drop his season batting line down to just .206/.295/.420. He should be back in there Tuesday. On Monday, it will be DJ Stewart getting his first major-league start at first base. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • 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 44 minutes ago
     
  • 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 46 minutes ago
     
  • Won't start Monday
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Jeffers had started each of Minnesota's last three games -- two at catcher and one at designated hitter -- so his absence from the lineup Monday is likely just a rest day. Christian Vazquez will fill in behind the dish and will bat eighth. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
