  • Set for MLB debut Saturday
    Munoz will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville by the Marlins to start one of the games in Saturday's doubleheader versus the Cubs, Isaac Azout of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: It will be the major-league debut for Munoz, who was acquired via trade from the Pirates over the offseason.

  • Ian Gibaut’s (forearm) return from IL delayed
    Reds RHP Ian Gibaut (forearm) continues to have discomfort and his return has been pushed back.

    Advice: The 30-year-old was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Opening Day, but the right-handed reliever will now be sidelined for longer than expected. Everything seemed like it was heading in the right direction for Gibaut, so this setback is disappointing to here. We’ll have to wait and see how the team wants to designate him moving forward.

  • Braves option Forrest Wall to Triple-A
    Braves optioned Forrest Wall to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: The 28-year-old will head down to the minors with the team bringing in Luke Williams. Wall’s only plate appearance with the Braves this season was a groundout during a 16-4 blowout loss to the Mets. He’ll join Triple-A Gwinnett where he slashed .280/.372/.427 with 43 RBI and 52 stolen bases last season. Rotoworld Today, 7:32 am
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    Wall was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Friday.

    Advice: Wall has been on Atlanta's roster since Opening Day but didn't make a start and received just one plate appearance. He's being replaced on the roster by Luke Williams, who offers some more defensive versatility. Rotowire.com Today, 7:13 am
  • Enters as pinch hitter
    Refsnyder entered Thursday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in a 5-4 loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Refsnyder pinch hit for second baseman Enmanuel Valdez and stayed in the game to play left field. It was the season debut for Refsnyder, who opened the year on the 10-day injured list due to a toe injury. He was activated to take the roster spot of Tyler O'Neill, who landed on the 7-day concussion list. Refsnyder will likely be in the starting nine whenever the Red Sox face a left-hander.
