Player Notes

  • Appears in back-to-back games
    Grandal (foot) served as the designated hitter Tuesday and as the catcher Wednesday during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Grandal's ability to play in back-to-back games was the original benchmark the Pirates set for his return from the injured list. However, the team has since shifted its stance and has noted that he still has some progress to make prior to being activated. Grandal should be in Pittsburgh soon, but the exact timeline remains murky. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:17 pm
  • Swats third homer
    Lee went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Twins.

    Advice: Lee took Brock Stewart yard in the seventh inning for his third home run of the season, two of which have come in his last seven starts. He is in a nearly exactly even split for playing time behind the dish, as he's been in the lineup eight times in the White Sox's last 14 games. Overall, Lee has a 111 wRC+ and .328 wOBA across 58 plate appearances this season, and he could continue to slowly take playing time from Martin Maldonado if his strong performance continues.

  • Swats first homer
    Murphy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday in a loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Murphy put the Giants on the board with a 407-foot solo blast in the third inning, but the team ended up scoring just once more in the contest. The long ball was the first of the season for the backstop, who has struggled to a paltry .100/.206/.233 slash line through 35 plate appearances. Murphy is firmly behind Patrick Bailey on San Francisco's catcher depth chart. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:30 pm
  • Out with forearm injury
    Camargo was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

    Advice: Camargo last saw the field for St. Paul on Saturday, when he went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a run scored. The severity of the forearm strain isn't known, so it's unclear how long the 24-year-old will be sidelined beyond the seven-day minimum. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:54 pm
  • Will Smith blasts solo homer in win over D-Backs
    Will Smith went 1-for-5 with a solo homer on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Smith’s only hit of the game left the yard on Wednesday as he took Jordan Montgomery deep for a solo shot to lead off the third inning. The 29-year-old backstop is up to four homers on the year while slashing an excellent .355/.395/.555 with 18 runs scored and 24 RBI across 124 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:33 pm
