  • Cubs option Mastrobuoni to Triple-A
    Cubs optioned INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni had been filling in at shortstop for Dansby Swanson of late, but he was just 5-for-40 in his 19 games. He’s a career .212/.284/.259 hitter in 211 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:44 pm

  • Starling Marte tossed for arguing third strike
    Starling Marte was ejected from Monday’s game in the fourth inning for arguing balls and strikes.

    Advice: Marte couldn’t let it go after being (correctly) called out to end the top of the fourth and was tossed as he was beginning to walk out to right field for the bottom of the inning. Tyrone Taylor replaced him versus the Guardians. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:08 pm
     
  • Brewers bring back Joey Wiemer from injured list
    Brewers activated OF Joey Wiemer from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Wiemer missed 16 days with left knee soreness. The Brewers could have just sent him down, as he wasn’t playing well before getting hurt, but they’ve instead decided to go with him over Chris Roller. He’ll likely play against lefties and come off the bench versus righties. He’s starting in center field and batting ninth tonight against Ryan Weathers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:03 pm
     
  • Won't be activated Monday
    Astros manager Joe Espada said that McCormick (hamstring) will not be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game versus the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: However, McCormick is with the Astros at Minute Maid Park and will go through a pregame workout. His activation will come "soon," per Espada, with Tuesday seeming like a distinct possibility. McCormick has been out for all of May with a right hamstring injury.

  • Could be activated Friday
    Thomas (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Thomas is set to play Tuesday and Wednesday before being reevaluated. Assuming all goes well, it would set him up to be activated ahead of the Nationals' weekend series against the Mariners. Thomas has missed nearly a month of action with a Grade 2 MCL sprain of his left knee. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:18 pm

  • Returns from injured list
    The Brewers activated Wiemer (knee) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Wiemer has missed most of May with a left knee strain but is ready to roll after a brief rehab assignment. He will provide outfield depth for the Brewers and could draw the occasional start against left-handers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:22 pm
     
  • Three-hit effort in loss
    Raley went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to the Orioles on Sunday.

    Advice: Raley accomplished the rare feat of generating a three-hit tally against Orioles starter Corbin Burnes, who was otherwise mostly dominant while recording 11 strikeouts across six frames. Raley now has three multi-hit efforts during his current six-game hitting streak, a stretch in which he's posted a .458 average (11-for-24) with Sunday's pair of two-baggers, two home runs, five RBI and two steals across 24 plate appearances.

  • Goes yard
    Rosario went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 11-5 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Rosario clobbered his sixth home run of the campaign -- each of which has come off right-handed pitching -- in the fourth inning off Aaron Nola. Although Rosario is batting .180, he's swiped six bags through 36 games, tying his combined total from the last two seasons. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:39 pm
     
  • Leaves yard twice
    Tucker went 2-for-5 with two homers and four RBI in Sunday's win over the Brewers.

    Advice: After striking out in his first three at-bats, Tucker belted a solo homer in the sixth inning and a three-run shot in the seventh. He's gone deep 10 times in his last 20 games after snapping a six-game drought Sunday. It was also his third multi-homer game and first since April 12. Tucker owns a 1.040 OPS with 33 RBI and 15 home runs, tying Gunnar Henderson for the MLB lead. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:09 pm
