  • Luke Holman SP | CIN

    Reds' Luke Holman: Sidelined at Single-A

    Single-A Daytona placed Holman on its 7-day injured list April 17 due to an unspecified injury.

    Before being shut down, the 22-year-old righty breezed through his first two starts of the season, striking out 10 over nine innings while allowing one earned run on two hits and four walks. The Reds haven't offered word on the nature of his injury, nor has a timeline for Holman's return been provided.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Hitless Monday

    Fitzgerald went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Royals.

    Fitzgerald made his third appearance after being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left rib fracture. The 27-year-old has gone 3-for-10 with a double, a run scored and a 2:3 BB:K in that three-game span. He's now slashing .286/.350/.429 with two homers, five steals, 15 runs scored, seven RBI and an 8:23 BB:K across 102 plate appearances this season.

  • PJ Morlando OF | MIA

    Marlins' PJ Morlando: Out with hamstring strain

    Single-A Jupiter placed Morlando on the 7-day injured list May 5 with a left hamstring strain, Ely Sussman of Fish on First reports.

    Morlando underwent ulnar nerve transposition surgery on his left elbow March 12 and beat the estimated return time of 8-to-10 weeks, getting into game action for the Hammerheads on April 22. He hit .231 with a .429 OBP, one home run and a 37.1 percent strikeout rate in eight games before pulling his hamstring.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Scheduled to sit Tuesday

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Monday's 9-5 loss to the Diamondbacks that Edman will be held out of the lineup Tuesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

    After coming off the injured list Sunday following a two-and-a-half-week absence due to a right ankle issue, Edman started in center field that day in the Dodgers' loss to the Angels, finishing 0-for-4. Roberts noted that he's not yet comfortable having Edman play center on consecutive days so soon after the injury, so the 30-year-old shifted to second base Monday and went 1-for-4 with an RBI while Hyeseong Kim got the nod in center. With Edman set to rest Tuesday, Kim will presumably head back to the infield, and Andy Pages will likely start in center after being left out of the lineup Monday.

  • Ian Happ LF | CHC

    Cubs' Ian Happ: Will return from IL Tuesday

    Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said on 670 The Score that Happ (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Miami, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Manager Craig Counsell said previously that Happ would return at some point during the team's series against the Marlins, and Hoyer has confirmed Happ will be activated Tuesday. The outfielder has missed the minimum 10 days while recovering from a left oblique strain. Moises Ballesteros is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.

  • Javier Sanoja 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Collects third steal

    Sanoja went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Cubs.

    The 22-year-old got the start at shortstop and batted ninth, and Sanoja was a key part of the Marlins' game-winning rally in the ninth inning, drawing a walk ahead of Jesus Sanchez's walk-off triple. Sanoja has been a fixture in the lineup of late in a middle-infield spot with Xavier Edwards (back) landing on the IL just as Otto Lopez was activated from it, but he hasn't really taken advantage. Through 51 plate appearances in May, Sanoja is slashing just .167/.216/.229 with four runs, four RBI and two of his three steals on the season.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Logs double in return

    Schmitt (oblique) started at first base and went 1-for-2 with a double and a walk in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Royals.

    Schmitt was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday after missing the past month due to a Grade 2 left oblique strain. The 26-year-old infielder knocked a double down the left-field line in the seventh inning, marking his third two-bagger of the season. Schmitt is now slashing .200/.259/.320 with two RBI, one run scored and a 1:9 BB:K across 27 plate appearances.

  • Derek Hill CF | PHI

    Marlins' Derek Hill: Swipes fifth bag

    Hill went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Cubs.

    The outfielder crossed the plate with the tying run in the ninth inning on Jesus Sanchez's walk-off triple as the Marlins rallied from a 7-6 deficit. Hill has split center-field duties with Kyle Stowers since being activated from the IL earlier this month, and he's been productive when in the lineup, going 5-for-19 (.263) with one of his two homers and two of his five steals on the season in seven games.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Belts sixth homer

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Cubs.

    The backstop took fellow rookie Ben Brown deep in the first inning, going back-to-back with Jesus Sanchez to lead off the game. Ramirez has cooled down a little since a blistering start to his big-league career, but he's still playing nearly every day and delivering consistent production. Through his first 95 MLB plate appearances, Ramirez is slashing .267/.337/.593 with 10 doubles, six homers, 11 runs and 12 RBI.

  • Marlins' Valente Bellozo: Nabs first win in relief

    Bellozo (1-2) picked up the win Monday over the Cubs, allowing two hits and a walk over three scoreless innings of relief. He struck out one.

    The right-hander made his first appearance of the season out of the bullpen count, taking the mound to begin the seventh inning with the Marlins down 7-6 and getting rewarded for his strong performance when Miami walked it off in the bottom of the ninth. Bellozo isn't expected to be needed in the rotation again barring another rash of injuries, putting an even lower ceiling on his already minimal fantasy value. Through 25 big-league innings this year, Bellozo has a 2.88 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB.
