  • Available off bench Saturday
    Young (back) is not starting in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays but is available to pinch hit or run, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Young was removed in the fifth inning of Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays due to back spasms, and he was replaced by Jesse Winker. Alex Call will start in center field Saturday and hit eighth against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Recalled by Philadelphia
    The Phillies recalled Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

    Advice: The move corresponds with the Phillies placing Trea Turner on the 10-day IL due to a left hamstring strain. Clemens was called up to the majors in April while Bryce Harper was on paternity leave. Clemens appeared in one game, going 2-for-4 with a three-home run against the Reds on April 22. He's slashing .247/.327/.419 with five doubles, three home runs and 16 RBI over 104 plate appearances in Triple-A. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Headed to IL
    The Phillies placed Turner on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Turner left before the fifth inning of Friday's game against the Cubs after straining his left hamstring running bases in the fourth frame. The 30-year-old shortstop was off to a hot start this season, slashing .343/.392/.460 with 10 doubles, 10 stolen bases, two home runs and nine RBI over 148 plate appearances. Edmundo Sosa is slated to take over as the primary shortstop while Turner recovers from his injury. The Phillies recalled infielder Kody Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

  • Phillies recall Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley
    Phillies recalled INF Kody Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Advice: Clemens is up with Trea Turner (hamstring) on the injured list. The 27-year-old Clemens will be a bench option for the Phillies while he’s on the active roster. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Turner heads to 10-day IL with hamstring injury
    Phillies placed INF Trea Turner on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Turner was removed from Friday’s game against the Giants with soreness in his hamstring, and the Phillies will be without the 30-year-old shortstop for the next week-plus — likely longer. Kody Clemens is up as the corresponding transaction. Edmundo Sosa will likely see most of the reps at shortstop while Turner recovers. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago

  • Back in lineup Saturday
    Grandal is starting at catcher and batting sixth in Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Grandal missed all of spring training due to plantar fasciitis in his foot, and he began the season on the 10-day IL. He played in nine rehab games with Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a .257/.316/.400 with one home run and 11 RBI over 38 plate appearances. Grandal was activated from the IL on Friday, and he's set to make his 2024 debut Saturday against Rockies southpaw Austin Gomber. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Blue Jays activate Kevin Kiermaier off 10-day IL
    Blue Jays activated OF Kevin Kiermaier off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Kiermaier ended up missing just the minimum 10 days after recovering from inflammation in his left hip flexor tendon. The 34-year-old will patrol center field for the Blue Jays now that he’s active with Nathan Lukes sent back to Triple-A to make room on the roster. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to Buffalo
    The Blue Jays optioned Lukes to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

    Advice: Lukes was recalled from Triple-A on Friday, but the return of Kevin Kiermaier (hip) from the injured list will force Lukes back to Buffalo without appearing in a game for Toronto. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .284/.348/.432 in the minors this season and could return to the Blue Jays if their outfield depth is tested again later in the year.

  • Nathan Lukes sent to Triple-A by Blue Jays
    Blue Jays optioned OF Nathan Lukes to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Lukes is being sent down to make room for Kevin Kiermaier with Kiermaier coming off the injured list before Saturday’s game. Lukes will likely be back as a bench option before the end of the year, but it’s unlikely he’ll ever procure a regular role. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
