Pirates SS Oneil Cruz could play in the Dominican Winter League

Pirates General Manager Ben Cherington confirmed that Oneil Cruz is in Bradenton, Fla., rehabbing his surgically repaired left ankle. He has been running, hitting and throwing and has even been introduced to some simulated game action. With the Arizona Fall League done, the Pirates have considered sending Cruz to the Dominican Winter League to get some live at-bats, but Cherington confirmed that the team expects their shortstop to be 100% when spring training begins.

Munetaka Murakami

CWS 1st Baseman #5

Muntetaka Murakami was removed from Friday night’s battle against the Tigers due to an apparent hamstring injury.

Murakami hustled to beat out a fielder’s choice in the third inning and came up grabbing at his right hamstring. He’ll head for further evaluation. Expect the White Sox to provide an update on his status as soon as more information becomes available.

Nolan Arenado

AZ 3rd Baseman #28

Nolan Arenado (groin) remains out of the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup for Friday’s showdown against the Mariners.

It’s the second straight contest that the 35-year-old third baseman has missed since exiting Tuesday’s game with right groin tightness. The good news is that he’s improving and isn’t expected to require a trip to the injured list. He remains day-to-day.

Nick Sogard

BOS 3rd Baseman #20

Nick Sogard was held out of the Red Sox’ starting lineup on Friday due to a nagging side issue.

Red Sox’ skipper noted that the issue wasn’t severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list, but was bothering Sogard enough that they wanted to give him a day off. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is starting in his place at second base and batting seventh for the Red Sox on Friday night against the Guardians.

Hyeseong Kim

LAD Shortstop #6

Dodgers optioned INF/OF Hyeseong Kim to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The 27-year-old utilityman has been struggling badly at the plate over the past couple of weeks, so the Dodgers will give him some time in an everyday role at the Triple-A level to get himself back on track. Santiago Espinal returned from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take his place on the Dodgers’ active roster.

Santiago Espinal

LAD 3rd Baseman #21

Dodgers selected the contract of INF Santiago Espinal from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Just one day after Espinal was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City, he rejoins the Dodgers to replace the slumping Hyeseong Kim. Espinal will once again serve in a reserve infielder role and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Brant Hurter

DET Relief Pitcher #48

Tigers transferred LHP Brant Hurter to the 60-day injured list.

Hurter landed on the injured list last week due to lumbar spine inflammation and now it looks like he’s going to be shelved for much longer than originally anticipated. Beau Brieske was activated from the 60-day injured list on Friday to take his spot on the club’s 40-man roster.

Beau Brieske

DET Relief Pitcher #4

Tigers activated RHP Beau Brieske from the 60-day injured list.

Brieske had been sidelined since late in spring training due to a left adductor strain. He’ll give a floundering Tigers’ bullpen another fresh arm for their weekend series against the White Sox in Chicago.

Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Tigers placed RHP Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 28, with right adductor inflammation.

The Tigers had been hopeful that Mize would be able to avoid a return trip to the injured list after leaving Wednesday’s start with another groin issue, but they’ll take the cautious approach and sit him down to make sure it heals properly. Beau Brieske was activated from the 60-day injured list to take his place on the active roster on Friday.

Jung Hoo Lee

SF Right Fielder #51

Giants activated OF Jung Hoo Lee from the 10-day injured list.

The 27-year-old outfielder has been shelved since May 22 due to a back strain. He’s starting in right field and batting sixth for the Giants for Friday’s series opener against the Rockies in Colorado.
