  • Demoted to Triple-A
    The Mets optioned Baty to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Baty is slashing just .225/.304/.325 this season and has struck out at 34.7 percent clip in May. With the emergence of Mark Vientos (.295/.354/.591), the Mets have elected to send Baty back to the minors in hopes of getting his swing right. Vientos will take over as the club's everyday third baseman. Rotowire.com Today, 7:40 am
     
  • Smacks 10th homer
    Paredes went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Thursday against the Athletics.

    Advice: Paredes tallied his 10th homer of the season and third in May, and he's hitting .301 with 15 RBI and 10 runs scored across 24 contests on the month. Paredes remains locked into either the third or fourth spot in the Rays' order, giving him plenty of opportunities to rack up counting stats. Rotowire.com Today, 7:30 am
     
  • Continues surge Thursday
    Toro went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run in an extra-innings loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Toro wreaked havoc during the 12-inning contest, putting together his third multi-hit effort in the last four games. The 27-year-old also ripped a two-bagger for the second straight game, and his clutch RBI single in the 10th snapped a 4-4 tie at the time. Toro has found a home in the leadoff spot, logging a .277 batting average, 11 extra-base hits, three steals and 19 runs in 156 plate appearances from the top of the order.

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The White Sox recalled Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: It's the corresponding move for the demotion of Bryan Ramos, who was optioned Thursday. Sosa has struggled mightily during his time in the majors over the last three seasons, slashing just .177/.200/.304 in 75 games. Theoretically, there is playing time available on the White Sox infield, but there's no indication that Sosa will see much of it. Rotowire.com Today, 6:13 am

  • Not in Thursday's lineup
    Davis is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Davis is on the bench for a second straight day. The Rays are using a right-handed opener in Shawn Armstrong, so it's possible Davis enters mid-game if Tampa Bay eventually turns to a lefty. Davis has a .776 OPS against southpaws this season versus just a .581 OPS versus righties. Aledmys Diaz will start at first base Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:18 am
     
  • Getting Wednesday off
    Davis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Davis will hit the bench after he went 1-for-6 at the dish while starting in both of the past two games. Tyler Soderstrom will step in for Davis at first base. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:21 pm
     
  • Jordan Westburg out Wednesday with bruised hand
    Jordan Westburg is out of Wednesday’s lineup after getting hit on the right hand by a pitch Tuesday.

    Advice: X-rays came back negative, and Westburg is day-to-day. The Orioles are using Ramón Urías at third base today. The 25-year-old was hit in the right hand by Red Sox start Brayan Bello in the sixth inning of Tuesday’s showdown, but managed to stay in the contest after a quick check from the Orioles’ training staff.
