  • MJ Melendez goes 0-for-4 in loss to Padres
    MJ Melendez finished 0-for-4 while his teammates were combining to score eight runs Friday against the Padres.

    Advice: Melendez will likely turn this around if the Royals stick with him long enough, but at this point, sending him down for 2-3 weeks would make sense. He’s sitting at .172/.233/.337 for the season. Drew Waters wouldn’t necessarily be a better bet, but at least he’d improve the defense in left if given a shot. Rotoworld Today, 9:00 pm

  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    Reetz was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday after clearing waivers.

    Advice: Reetz has struggled in the majors this season, going 1-for-12 while striking out four times across five appearances. He'll remain within the Giants organization and look to find his swing again in the minors. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm

  • Giants send Jakson Reetz outright to Triple-A
    Giants sent C Jakson Reetz outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: As anticipated, the 28-year-old backstop passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to serve as extra catching depth for the Giants at the Triple-A level. Reetz went just 1-for-12 (.083) with a solo homer and four strikeouts during his time with the big league club. Rotoworld Today, 3:40 pm

  • Out against lefty
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Washington sending southpaw Patrick Corbin to the mound for the series opener, the lefty-hitting Naylor will get a break. David Fry will fill in at catcher and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:40 am

  • Mets to DFA Narvaez
    Mets designated C Omar Narvaez for assignment, according to SNY’s Andy Martino.

    Advice: Narvaez’ days on the Mets roster were likely numbered already with Francisco Alvarez on a rehab assignment. Instead the Mets are swapping him out for the newly acquired Luis Torrens. Narvaez hit .154 in 28 games for the Mets. Rotoworld Today, 8:00 am
     
  • Designated for assignment
    The Mets designated Narvaez for assignment on Friday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

    Advice: Narvaez's two years in New York have been a disaster, as he posted a .580 OPS over 49 games in 2023 and has a .154/.191/.185 slash line in 28 games this year. Even with Francisco Alvarez (thumb) not yet back from the injured list, the Mets will look elsewhere for catching depth. Rotowire.com Today, 7:51 am
     
  • Knocks homer in victory
    Caratini went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's 4-0 win versus Seattle.

    Advice: Caratini plated the Astros' final two runs in the contest, belting a solo homer in the fifth inning and adding an RBI on a fielder's choice in the sixth. The long ball has his first since the final day of April, and the backup catcher has posted a modest .205 average over 39 at-bats in May. On a positive note, Caratini is registering a career-best 15.0 percent strikeout rate on the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:42 pm
     
  • Lifts homer in loss
    Melendez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Melendez's fourth-inning blast gave the Royals a 4-0 lead before things turned south for them in the middle innings. May has been a rough month for Melendez, who has gone 12-for-69 (.174) with six extra-base hits over 23 contests in the month. His previous homer was April 19, and he now has five long balls on the year to go with 13 RBI, 14 runs scored, two stolen bases and a poor .176/.238/.346 slash line through 50 games. Melendez is in a strong-side platoon role, though Garrett Hampson has started to get more looks versus righties amid Melendez's lengthy slump. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:48 pm

  • Swats third homer
    Nido went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: The backstop took Elieser Hernandez deep in the fifth inning to get the Mets on the board, but a late collapse by the bullpen led to a 10-3 loss. Nido is slashing .233/.260/.370 in the majors this year with three homers and seven RBI in 28 games, and with Francisco Alvarez (thumb) ready to begin a rehab assignment, the clock is ticking on his time in a prominent role for the Mets.
