  • Swipes second bag
    Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Schuemann singled in his first at-bat before swiping his second bag of the season, though he would be left stranded as Oakland failed to generate any offense against a dominant Cristian Javier. The second baseman has now hit safely in five of his last six games, going 6-for-20 (.300) over that stretch with a homer, a double and four RBI. The stolen base was Schuemann's first since April 20 against the Guardians. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago
  • Heyward (back) done with rehab
    Jason Heyward (back) has finished rehabbing his lower back issue that has sidelined him since late March.

    Advice: Heyward was with the team at Dodgers Stadium on Thursday and manager Dave Roberts told reporters he will be activated soon. It remains a question what the corresponding move for Heyward’s activation will be. Enrique Hernandez and Chris Taylor have both struggled this season, but they can also play multiple positions and Taylor is owed $13 million in 2025. James Outman was a revelation last year, but he has options remaining and is hitting .147 this year. Outman could be the de facto choice. Heyward slashed .269/.340/.473 in 124 games with the Dodgers last year. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
  • Electrifying in win
    De La Cruz went 4-for-4 with a double, an RBI, three runs scored and four stolen bases in Thursday's win over the Dodgers while also drawing a walk.

    Advice: De La Cruz was a force to be reckoned with Thursday, reaching base five times and swiping at least one bag following each of his first three plate appearances. Those steals would lead to him scoring three runs in the contest, marking the third time this season in which he's accomplished that feat. It also marked the star shortstop's first four-hit game on the campaign and his third game with three or more hits. De La Cruz now has a whopping 30 stolen bases on the season following his first four-steal performance, sitting 13 ahead of the next closest player (Jose Caballero). Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
  • Begins rehab assignment
    Wiemer (knee) went 1-for-3 with a run scored in his first rehab game with Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

    Advice: Wiemer has been out since early May with a left knee strain but has made enough progress in order to test things out in a game setting. Because he hasn't missed much time, Wiemer's rehab assignment shouldn't last more than a few days. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
  • Tigers won’t bench Baez
    The Tigers won’t bench shortstop Javier Baez.

    Advice: “He’s going to play, a lot,” manager A.J. Hinch said. Baez has the lowest OPS (.422) among qualified hitters by nearly 100 points. The Tigers still owe Baez $72 million after this season. Something has to give at some point, but the Tigers will keep playing him for now. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
  • Back from paternity leave
    The Guardians activated Hentges from the paternity leave list Thursday.

    Advice: Hentges missed the series against the Rangers while tending to his growing family. He'll be back in the Guardians' bullpen for their weekend set versus the Twins. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
  • Fans eight in loss
    Glasnow (6-2) took the loss against the Reds on Thursday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight over five innings.

    Advice: Glasnow ran into trouble early, surrendering a leadoff homer to Will Benson to open the contest, along with an RBI double to Tyler Stephenson four batters later. The Reds would get to Glasnow again in the third and fifth innings, marking only the second time this season in which he's allowed four or more runs. The right-hander had logged four consecutive quality starts coming in and still carries a 3.32 ERA in May to go along with a 28:4 K:BB. He's also struck out at least eight batters in five straight outings. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
  • Poised for rehab assignment
    Hall (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Wisconsin on Sunday.

    Advice: Hall got through a two-inning simulated game Tuesday with no issues to clear the way for him to pitch in a rehab game. He's been sidelined for nearly a month with a left knee sprain, so Hall would figure to require at least a couple rehab outings before rejoining the Brewers' rotation. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago

  • Picks up first win
    Martinez (1-2) earned the win over the Dodgers on Thursday, pitching five shutout innings in relief while allowing one hit and striking out four.

    Advice: Martinez relieved Justin Wilson to open the bottom of the third and proceeded to retire 15 of the 16 batters he faced over his five innings of work. The veteran right-hander generated 12 swings and misses on the night en route to earning his first win of the season. Martinez has been outstanding in the relief role and now carries a 0.87 ERA to go along with a 9:2 K:BB through 10.1 innings in May (four appearances). Rotowire.com Today, 6:06 am
