  • Goes deep in loss
    Volpe went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Astros on Thursday.

    Advice: Volpe accounted for New York's first scores with a two-run blast to right field in the third inning. It was his second homer in his past three contests following a 25-game stretch during which he went deep just once. Volpe is still batting just .200 through eight games in May, but he's held onto the leadoff spot, batting first in the order in all of the Yankees' contests so far this month.

  • Maikel Garcia collects three hits, two RBI
    Maikel Garcia finished 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI against the Angels on Thursday.

    Advice: Garcia was due for some luck, and he got it tonight, as both of his doubles came on balls hit less than 80 mph. His highest EV in the contest, a 104-mph grounder, actually produced an out. The Royals have remained very patient with Garcia in the leadoff spot, and odds are that he’ll only get better from here.

  • Promoted to majors
    Paris was recalled from Double-A Rocket City on Thursday.

    Advice: With both Brandon Drury (hamstring) and Luis Rengifo (illness) sidelined, the Angels were shorthanded along the infield. Paris boasts enough defensive versatility to help the team in that regard, as he is capable of playing second base and shortstop as well as in the outfield. His ability to contribute as a hitter is far less clear, as he was striking out at a 39.1 percent clip across 92 plate appearances with Rocket City prior to his promotion.

  • Sidelined by illness
    Rengifo (illness) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Rengifo has been held out of the lineup for five straight games with the illness, so his stint on the injured list will be retroactive to May 6. Kyren Paris was recalled from Double-A Rocket City in a corresponding move and should take over in a utility role while Rengifo is sidelined. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:40 pm

  • Angels recall shortstop Kyren Paris on Thursday
    Angels recalled INF Kyren Paris from Double-A Rocket City.

    Advice: Paris provides Los Angeles with some emergency infield depth with both Luis Rengifo (viral infection) and Brandon Drury (hamstring) hitting the injured list. The 22-year-old shortstop got into 15 games last year for the Angels. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:32 pm
     
  • Luis Rengifo (viral infection) lands on 10-day IL
    Angels placed INF Luis Renfigo on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 6, with a viral infection.

    Advice: Rengifo finally heads to the injured list following a five-game absence due to a viral infection. The 27-year-old infielder should be ready to return when first eligible to be activated later next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:28 pm

  • Anthony Volpe crushes two-run homer in loss
    Anthony Volpe went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer on Thursday in the Yankees’ loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Volpe connected for a two-run opposite-field shot into the right-field corner off Astros starter Ronel Blanco in the third inning. It was his fifth round-tripper of the season and second time he’s left the yard in his last three contests. The 23-year-old shortstop has made an effort to flatten his swing and employ an all-fields approach this season, but is still hitting for some over-the-fence pop, while also significantly improving his batting average.

  • Begins rehab assignment
    Urshela (hamstring) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

    Advice: Urshela has been on the injured list since April 20 due to a strained right hamstring, and he has now been given the go-ahead to test his hamstring in a competitive setting. It's unclear how long he will remain in the minors, but it's possible the Tigers wait to activate him Monday ahead of their upcoming series against the Marlins. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:53 pm

  • Pirates summoning Nick Gonzales on Friday
    The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Andrew Destin reports the Pirates will promote infielder Nick Gonzalez on Friday.

    Advice: Gonzales will get the call back to the majors after batting .358 (43-for-120) with four homers in 137 plate appearances over 30 games this season for Triple-A Indianapolis. The 24-year-old middle infielder got into 35 contests last year for Pittsburgh and simply has nothing left to prove in the upper minors at this juncture. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:49 pm
