  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Belts homer in loss

    Flores went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored during Tuesday's loss at Colorado.

    Flores tacked on a pair of insurance runs for the Giants with his long ball against Mychal Givens in the sixth inning. However, the Rockies put together a seventh-inning rally for the win. Flores, who now has two long balls this season, was making his fourth straight start due to infielder Tommy La Stella's (hamstring) recent move to the injured list.

  • Diamondbacks' Asdrubal Cabrera: Three hits in Tuesday's loss

    Cabrera went 3-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Marlins.

    The veteran infielder continues to give Arizona a solid bat at the top of the order. Over the last 12 games, Cabrera has hit .342 (13-for-38), but a lack of support around him in the lineup has left him with only three RBI and seven runs over that stretch.

    Twins' Alex Kirilloff: Visiting specialist Wednesday

    Kirillof (wrist) is scheduled to visit a hand and wrist specialist Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    The 23-year-old suffered a right wrist injury sliding into second base Monday and was held out of Tuesday's starting nine. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the fact that he's visiting a specialist so quickly is an ominous sign. Kirilloff is unlikely to be available Wednesday while being evaluated, and it should be known shortly whether a trip to the injured list is necessary.

    Twins' Alex Kirilloff: Nursing sore wrist

    Kirilloff is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers due to wrist soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    The 23-year-old was originally slated to start Tuesday, but he was scratched due to the wrist issue. Kirilloff should be considered day-to-day while he continues to be evaluated.

    Twins' Alex Kirilloff: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Kirilloff is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rangers.

    He is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, hitting .321 with four home runs over that stretch. However, his 33.3 percent strikeout rate and 3.3 percent walk rate over this hot streak are worth keeping an eye on. Willians Astudillo will start at first base and hit eighth.

    Dodgers' Luke Raley: Called up as extra man

    Raley will join the Dodgers as the 27th man for the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Raley received his first 39 MLB plate appearances in April but didn't do much with them, hitting just .206/.308/.324. He'll serve as a bench bat in the nightcap.

  • Evan White 1B | LAA

    Mariners' Evan White: Activated Tuesday

    White was reinstated from the bereavement list Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    He missed a few games to attend to a personal matter. White is hitting .108 with zero home runs and a 3:11 BB:K over his last 10 games.

    Giants' Donovan Solano: Making progress

    Solano is making progress in his recovery from his strained right calf, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    The veteran infielder has been out for just shy of two weeks but advanced to running sprints Monday. It's not clear exactly when he'll be back, but the Giants could use him soon, as fellow second baseman Tommy La Stella is expected to be out until June with a strained hamstring.

  • Luke Voit 1B | NYM

    Yankees' Luke Voit: Could return next week

    Voit (knee) could return in the middle of next week, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

    He is embarking on a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Per manager Aaron Boone, Voit is expected to play in 5-to-6 games over the next 7-to-8 days, which would take us to Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. If all goes well, he could return to the Yankees lineup toward the end of next week's series in Tampa Bay that runs from May 11 through May 13.

    Yankees' Luke Voit: Rehab moves to Triple-A

    Voit (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

    It was reported last week that Voit would be rehabbing with Double-A Somerset, but he'll instead head to Triple-A for the minor-league opener. He's been taking live at-bats at the alternate site, so while it's unclear exactly how long Voit's rehab assignment will be, he could rejoin the Yankees in the near future if he avoids any setbacks.
