    Orioles' John Means: Making another rehab start

    Orioles general manager Mike Elias said Means (forearm) will make another rehab start during the upcoming week, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Means made the third start of his rehab assignment this past Thursday with Triple-A Norfolk, striking out three over three innings while allowing two runs on two hits and two walks. The lefty tossed 61 pitches (35 strikes) in the start, so he may need only one or two more outings in the minors before getting cleared to return from the 15-day injured list. Once activated, Means will most likely join the rotation as a replacement for Cole Irvin, as the two southpaws' pitching schedules are currently aligned.

  • Rangers' Michael Lorenzen: Activated for Rangers debut

    Lorenzen (neck) was activated from the 15-day injured list by the Rangers on Monday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Lorenzen is set to make his Rangers and season debut with a start Monday in Detroit. While technically on the IL with a neck injury, Lorenzen making three rehab starts had as much or more to do with knocking the rust off after he didn't sign until late March. He held a 6.35 ERA and 13:9 K:BB over 11.1 innings in those rehab outings and doesn't make for a very desirable fantasy start Monday.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Starting again versus lefty

    Julien will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game in Baltimore.

    Julien has now made two straight starts against left-handers and has been in the lineup for all but two games this season. It might not be the case if the Twins weren't missing Royce Lewis (quad) and/or Carlos Correa (intercostal), but for now Julien looks like an everyday player rather than a strong-side platoon option.

  • Ty Adcock RP | SD

    Tigers' Ty Adcock: Scooped up by Detroit

    The Tigers claimed Adcock off waivers from the Mariners on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Toledo.

    Adcock had been designated for assignment and is now on the move to a new organization. The 26-year-old made 12 appearances for Seattle last season but has spent all of this season at Triple-A Tacoma, yielding two earned runs with a 2:3 K:BB over 2.1 innings.

  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: First rehab start coming Tuesday

    Bradish (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday.

    It had been reported that Bradish was set to start a rehab assignment this week, and now the exact day and location has been revealed. He's slated for 2-to-3 innings and/or 40-to-50 pitches Tuesday, per Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com. The right-hander's rehab from a partial UCL tear has come along as well as could be expected, but it's basically the start of spring training for him, so he could need most, if not all, of his 30-day rehab window before rejoining the Orioles' rotation.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Yankees' Jose Trevino: Clubs first homer Sunday

    Trevino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday in an extra-inning loss to Cleveland.

    Trevino crushed a 406-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning to give the Yankees a 4-2 lead. It was both his first long ball and his first extra-base hit of any kind on the campaign. Trevino and Austin Wells have been splitting time behind the plate pretty evenly early in the season, as the former has 29 plate appearances and the latter 34. Neither backstop has hit well, but Trevino has a slightly better slash line at .200/.310/.320 to Wells' .115/.265/.115.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Returns to lineup

    Schanuel (groin) will start at first base and bat fifth in Monday's game in Tampa Bay.

    Schanuel exited Saturday's game and didn't play Sunday because of a testicular contusion, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The rookie first baseman is sporting a woeful .108/.292/.189 batting line through his first 12 contests this season.

  • Parker Meadows CF | DET

    Tigers' Parker Meadows: Out again against right-hander

    Meadows is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rangers.

    It marks the second time in the last three games that the left-handed hitting Meadows has been out of the lineup, and both times it was versus a right-hander. The 24-year-old is off to a dreadful 2-for-33 start this season and could be seeing his starting job in center field slip away if he doesn't right the ship in a hurry. Matt Vierling is in center Monday.

  • Jonatan Clase LF | TOR

    Mariners' Jonatan Clase: Recalled to big club

    Clase was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma by the Mariners on Monday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

    Clase has hit .311/.396/.622 with two homers, three steals and a 12:7 K:BB over his first 12 games at Tacoma this season. The 21-year-old has experience at all three outfield spots and could see some corner outfield reps while Dominic Canzone (shoulder) is on the shelf. Clase will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Lands on IL with shoulder injury

    Canzone was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Mariners on Monday with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

    Canzone suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Cubs when he collided with the outfield wall. The Mariners expect to have a better idea later Monday as to how much time Canzone might miss. Jonatan Clase has taken Canzone's roster spot and could see some starts in left field in his place, although Luke Raley and/or Dylan Moore might get more reps.
