  • Angel Martinez SS | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: Activated, optioned to Triple-A

    The Guardians reinstated Martinez (hand) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

    Martinez was protected from the Rule 5 Draft following the 2022 season and was added to the Guardians' 40-man roster, but he's still waiting to make his MLB debut. He wasn't a serious candidate to break camp with the big club, and any outside chance he might have had to crack the Opening Day roster came to an end when he suffered a right foot contusion late in spring training. Martinez then suffered a more significant injury when he began a rehab assignment in April, as he fractured the hamate bone in his left hand during his third game with Columbus. After being shut down for the ensuing six weeks, Martinez started up a new rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last week and is now ready to report to Columbus, where he should play on an everyday basis.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Receives day off

    Caballero is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Athletics, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Sits out second game

    Baez is absent from the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Pirates, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Hits go-ahead homer

    Seager went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Seager's hitting streak is up to 11 games, during which he's gone 14-for-40 (.350). He's also homered seven times over his last seven contests, with Tuesday's blast being enough to secure the win for the Rangers. The shortstop is up to 12 long balls, 27 RBI, 26 runs scored and a .259/.351/.461 slash line through 50 games, though he's been particularly impressive with his recent power surge after a slow start to the campaign.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Moore isn't in the Mariners' lineup Tuesday against the Astros.

    Moore has been extremely hot at the plate lately, slashing an incredible .324/.489/.735 with three homers and seven RBI across his last 11 games. He'll get a breather against Hunter Brown and the Astros while Luke Raley, Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone start across the outfield with Mitch Haniger in as the DH.

  • Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU

    Athletics' Aledmys Diaz: Activated from IL

    Diaz (calf) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Diaz has missed the first two months of the 2024 campaign with a strained right calf he sustained in early March. He appeared in 10 games at Triple-A during his rehab assignment and slashed .154/.313/.308 with six walks and five strikeouts in 32 plate appearances. He figures to compete with Max Schuemann and Abraham Toro for work at shortstop and third base.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Stays hot in Monday's win

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Astros on Monday.

    Crawford provided one of two multi-hit efforts for the Mariners on the afternoon while hitting safely for the sixth time in the last seven starts. The veteran shortstop has been clicking at the plate since his return an IL stay from an oblique injury, producing a .296 average and .848 OPS across his last 30 plate appearances despite a 26.7 percent strikeout rate in the same span.

  • Bo Bichette SS | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Belts fourth homer in win

    Bichette went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the White Sox.

    He took Nick Nastrini deep in the fourth inning, one of three long balls for Toronto on the day. Bichette is batting .424 (14-for-33) over the last eight games, boosting his slash line on the season to .247/.297/.366 with four homers, four steals, 18 runs and 23 RBI through 50 contests.

  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Added to roster

    The Mariners selected Bliss's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    The 24-year-old infielder receives his first major-league promotion after putting up a .247/.382/.445 batting line with seven home runs and 28 stolen bases this season with Tacoma. The right-handed hitting Bliss plays both middle infield spots and could get some starts at second base versus lefties due to Jorge Polanco (hamstring) going down.
