  • Logan O'Hoppe DH | TEX

    Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Out with fractured wrist

    The Angels placed O'Hoppe on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left wrist fracture.

    O'Hoppe departed Saturday's game against the Royals after being struck by a foul tip behind the plate. The 26-year-old is without an official timeline for his return, but it seems likely he'll be sidelined beyond the 10-day minimum. Travis d'Arnaud should step in as the Halos' primary catcher while O'Hoppe is on the shelf. Sebastian Rivero was called up Sunday to take over the backup job.

  • Blas Castano RP | COL

    Rockies' Blas Castano: Promoted for doubleheader

    The Rockies recalled Castano from Triple-A Albuquerque to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.

    Castano was claimed off waivers from Seattle on Tuesday and will now receive his first look in the majors with his new organization. The right-hander has allowed one earned run over 7.1 innings at Triple-A between Albuquerque and Tacoma.

  • Austin Warren RP | NYM

    Mets' Austin Warren: Up for twin bill

    The Mets recalled Warren from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Warren was demoted to Syracuse on Thursday but will briefly rejoin the big club for the doubleheader. The right-hander has given up an earned run with a 4:0 K:BB across 1.2 frames in his two outings with the Mets this year.

  • Andre Granillo RP | DET

    Nationals' Andre Granillo: Rejoins big club

    The Nationals recalled Granillo from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

    The right-hander opened the campaign in Washington's bullpen but was demoted in early April after giving up six earned runs in his first five outings of the season. Granillo also struggled at Rochester with an 18.00 ERA and 6:6 K:BB over five innings, so he may not be up in the majors for long.

  • Paxton Schultz RP | WAS

    Nationals' Paxton Schultz: Back in majors

    The Nationals recalled Schultz from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

    The right-hander was sent to Rochester last weekend but will quickly rejoin the big club with Clayton Beeter (forearm) landing on the injured list. Schultz has given up four earned runs with a 7:1 K:BB over eight MLB innings this season and should fill a low-leverage relief role while up with the Nationals.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers

    Lowe went 2-for-9 with a double, a run and three strikeouts in the first two games of the series and will hit the bench for the finale. It's likely just a maintenance day for Lowe with a lefty starter (Kyle Harrison) taking the mound for Milwaukee.

  • Oneil Cruz CF | PIT

    Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Receiving Sunday off

    Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    It's the first day off for Cruz since the second contest of the season, and it comes after he went 0-for-10 with five strikeouts and an RBI across the first two games of the series in Milwaukee. Billy Cook is picking up a start in center field Sunday.

  • Drew Gilbert CF | SF

    Giants' Drew Gilbert: Goes yard in win

    Gilbert went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over Miami.

    Gilbert lined a leadoff homer to right field in the fifth inning, accounting for San Francisco's first run. The 25-year-old outfielder has taken on a more sizable role with Harrison Bader (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list. Gilbert is slashing .233/.281/.433 with four RBI, four runs scored and two home runs across 33 plate appearances in 10 games this season.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Cracks homer in victory

    Schmitt went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Marlins.

    Schmitt doubled in the second inning but was tagged out after slipping as he rounded second base. However, the 27-year-old made up for the mistake with a two-run homer in the sixth, marking his third long ball on the campaign. Schmitt is slashing .295/.341/.513 with 10 RBI, eight runs scored and one stolen base across 85 plate appearances in 21 outings this season.

  • Heliot Ramos RF | NYY

    Giants' Heliot Ramos: Homers in win

    Ramos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Marlins.

    Ramos hit a single in the sixth and launched a homer to right field in the eighth, giving the Giants a 5-1 lead. The 26-year-old has recorded at least one hit in seven of the last eight games, batting .379 with seven RBI, six runs scored, three long balls and three doubles in 32 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .277/.320/.426 with 14 RBI, 11 runs scored and three home runs across 100 plate appearances in 26 games.
