• Hits 10-day IL
    Amador (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Amador suffered a right oblique strain in Thursday's game against the Dodgers, a injury similar to one he sustained earlier in the season at Double-A Hartford. Considering Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is healthy and Amador put up a .394 OPS in 10 big-league games, the 21-year-old doesn't have a clear path to at-bats in Colorado. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago

  • CJ Abrams (wrist) returns to Nationals’ lineup
    CJ Abrams (wrist) returned to the Nationals’ starting lineup on Friday night.

    Advice: The 23-year-old shortstop had missed the team’s previous two games due to a Ganglion cyst near his left wrist. He feels good enough to give it a go on Friday night though and will return to his customary leadoff spot in the lineup against Dakota Hudson and the Rockies at Coors Field on Friday evening.

  • Bo Bichette (calf) expects to return when eligible
    Bo Bichette (calf) is hopeful that he’ll return from the injured list when first eligible on Tuesday.

    Advice: The 26-year-old shortstop took ground balls, hit in the batting cages and ran the bases with the team in Cleveland on Friday. As long as he avoids any setbacks over the weekend, anticipate his stint on the injured list to be as short as possible. Rotoworld Today, 3:10 pm

    Advice: Bichette looks to be on track to return once eligible Tuesday, participating in baseball activities on Friday with the expectation of ramping up his workload over the weekend.

  • Set for IL stint
    Amador will be placed on the injured list with a right oblique strain, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Amador's move to the injured list comes at the same time as Brendan Rodgers' (hamstring) reinstatement, meaning the rookie's playing time with Colorado was coming to an end regardless. The 21-year-old appeared in 10 games with the Rockies but struggled to a .171/.194/.200 slash line with a stolen base. While it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined, there is optimism that Amador's recovery will be quick. Rotowire.com Today, 2:47 pm

  • Rockies place Adael Amador (oblique) on 10-day IL
    Rockies placed INF Adael Amador on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain.

    Advice: The 21-year-old infielder was pulled from Thursday’s game due to what had been termed a “mild oblique strain”, but he’ll need more than just a couple of days to recover from this one. Brendan Rodgers was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 2:25 pm

  • Making first start Friday
    Martinez will start at second base and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Guardians.

    Advice: It will be the first major-league start for Martinez, who was on the bench for each of the first two contests following his promotion. The 22-year-old is one of the better power-hitting prospects in baseball, but he does struggle to make contact and isn't regarded as a great defender. Getting him playing time does not appear to be a priority for the Blue Jays during this stint, but he will have a chance to show what he can do Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Orelvis Martinez set for big league debut Friday
    Orelvis Martinez will make his major league debut on Friday night against the Guardians.

    Advice: The 22-year-old top prospect was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, but didn’t see any game action during his first two days with the Jays. He’ll start at second base on Friday night and will bat eighth against Guardians’ right-hander Carlos Carrasco. Martinez had been hitting .260/.343/.523 with 16 homers and 46 RBI over 63 games at Triple-A Buffalo prior to his promotion. Rotoworld Today, 1:27 pm
