  • Starting rehab assignment
    Topa (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Topa has been out since late March with left patellar tendinitis but has been cleared to try things out in a game setting. The reliever presumably will need multiple rehab appearances before joining the Twins' bullpen. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago

  • Sits against southpaw
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: With the Blue Jays and Royals concluding their series with a day game after a night game and with a southpaw (Cole Ragans) on the hill for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Biggio will get the afternoon off. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will step in for Biggio at the keystone. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Gets rest Thursday
    Jansen is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Jansen will get a breather for the day game after he caught eight innings of Wednesday's 3-2 loss while going 1-for-3 with a walk. Alejandro Kirk gets the nod behind the dish for Toronto in the series finale in Kansas City. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Summoned to majors
    The Royals recalled Klein from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

    Advice: Klein, 24, has allowed just one unearned run with a 12:6 K:BB over 11 innings this season with Omaha. The reliever will be making his major-league debut when/if he enters a game. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to minors
    The Nationals optioned Millas to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday.

    Advice: Washington no longer had a need for Millas as a backup catcher after the team reinstated Keibert Ruiz (illness) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his week-and-a-half-long stint with the Nationals, Millas appeared in two games and went 1-for-6 with a stolen base. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Headed to injured list
    The Royals placed Marsh on the 15-day injured Thursday with a right elbow contusion.

    Advice: Marsh had to depart Wednesday's start against Toronto after being struck in the right elbow by a comebacker. X-rays came back negative and it had seemed as though the righty would be fine, but the Royals have ultimately decided to exercise some caution. Marsh would appear to have a shot to be back when his 15 days are up. It's not yet clear who will take his spot in the rotation. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • Returns from IL
    The Nationals reinstated Ruiz (illness) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Ruiz missed the Nationals' last 11 games while recovering from a case of influenza. He checked out fine after making two rehab appearances with Double-A Harrisburg earlier this week and should settle back in as the Nationals' No. 1 catcher now that he's been activated from the IL. Washington optioned catcher Drew Millas to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Nationals option Drew Millas to Triple-A
    Nationals optioned C Drew Millas to Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: Millas will head back to the minors after the team activated Keibert Ruiz. Millas appeared in two games while he was up with the Nationals and went 1-for-6 with a stolen base. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Nationals activate Keibert Ruiz
    Nationals activated C Keibert Ruiz (illness) from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: The 25-year-old backstop returns to Washington after he was sidelined with the flu. Ruiz has struggled to start the season slashing .194/.265/.290, but he’s keep his strikeout rate low (15%) so fantasy managers could expect some positive regression coming his way.
