  • Athletics recall Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A
    Athletics recalled SS Darell Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas

    Advice: The A’s will bring up the 22-year-old infielder who is filling the roster spot for Zack Gelof. Herniaz has struggled at the major league level where he’s slashed .103/.156/.103 in his 17 games this season. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    Fletcher was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

    Advice: Fletcher appeared in five games for Atlanta after being selected from Triple-A on April 16, going 2-for-8 with two RBI. He will remain in the organization as he returns to the minors, though he no longer holds a spot on the 40-man roster. No corresponding move was announced alongside Fletcher's demotion, which may point toward a potential return from the IL for Ozzie Albies (toe) before Friday's game against Cleveland.

  • A’s officially place Zack Gelof on 10-day IL
    Athletics placed INF Zack Gelof (oblique) on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 24, with a left oblique strain.

    Advice: This doesn’t come as a surprise as the 24-year-old second baseman was diagnosed with the strain Wednesday, but it’s a disappointment for fantasy managers that have him rostered. Abraham Toro is likely to take over at second while Gelof is sidelined. Rotoworld Today, 11:08 am
  • Sits against lefty
    Lux is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: With the Dodgers and Nationals concluding their series with a day game after a night game and with southpaw MacKenzie Gore on the bump for Washington, Lux is one of three lefty-hitting regulars who will get the afternoon off. Lux will be joined on the bench by Max Muncy and James Outman. Rotowire.com Today, 10:55 am
  • Likely to fill in for Crawford
    Moore will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: He'll man shortstop for the second game in a row and is expected to serve as the main option at the position after J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, according to Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM. Moore has a pair of 20-steal seasons on his resume and already has five stolen bases in just 53 plate appearances so far in 2024, so his speed could make him an appealing short-term option in deeper mixed leagues now that he's on track to get consistent playing time.

  • Gets first off day of season
    Morel is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: The Cubs will hand Morel his first day off of the season while he's fallen into a slump at the dish of late; he's gone 4-for-45 (.089 average) and is getting on base at a .222 clip over his last 13 games. Morel still looks to be entrenched in an everyday role at third base, but Nick Madrigal will occupy the hot corner Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:02 am
  • Returns to lineup
    Urias (wrist) will start at third base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Urias will make his first start since he exited the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Rockies when he was hit by a pitch on the right wrist. The Mariners faced right-handed starting pitchers in both of the ensuing two games, so Urias' absence from the lineup for those contests might have had more to do with his status as a short-side platoon player than because of the injury. Urias will face off against Rangers southpaw Andrew Heaney on Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 9:37 am
  • 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 Today, 9:13 am

  • Out of Thursday's lineup
    Valdez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Cleveland.

    Advice: Valdez is getting a routine day off after starting at second base in each of the Red Sox's previous nine contests. David Hamilton will handle the keystone Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:13 am
