Cooper Criswell

BOS Relief Pitcher #64

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Red Sox designated RHP Cooper Criswell for assignment.

Criswell loses his spot on Boston’s 40-man roster with the club acquiring pitchers Johan Oviedo and Tyler Samaniego from the Pirates. The 29-year-old righty has posted a respectable 4.00 ERA across 117 innings over 33 appearances (19 starts) for the Red Sox over the past two seasons. He figures to attract some interest on waivers as a serviceable emergency innings-eater in a swingman-type role.

Clayton Beeter

WSH Relief Pitcher #39

Clayton Beeter, out since Apr. 23 with forearm soreness, is ready to begin a rehab assignment.

Beeter is in line to return next week if all goes well. He’ll likely resume challenging Gus Varland for saves, so Varland could definitely use a good week after allowing three runs in the eighth inning and taking a loss Sunday against the Marlins.

Tatsuya Imai

HOU Relief Pitcher #45

Astros activated RHP Tatsuya Imai from the 15-day injured list.

Imai will face the Mariners tonight in his first start since walking four and giving up three runs in one-third of an inning against the same ballclub on Apr. 10. He walked eight and gave up six runs over five innings in his two rehab starts, so he’s not to be trusted in fantasy leagues at the moment.

Logan VanWey

HOU Relief Pitcher #64

Astros optioned RHP Logan VanWey to Triple-A Sugar Land.

VanWey, who was called up on Friday, pitched two scoreless innings with three strikeouts in his two appearances over the weekend.

José Caballero

NYY Shortstop #72
The Yankees are planning to place José Caballero on the injured list with a finger injury and recall Anthony Volpe.

Francys Romero was the first to report that Volpe was on the way back to the majors. Still no word yet on the severity of Calabllero’s injury. He was hurt Sunday, but the Yankees used him as a pinch-runner in Monday’s game.

Christian Yelich

MIL Left Fielder #22
Brewers activated OF Christian Yelich from the 10-day injured list.

Tyler Black was sent down to make room. Yelich is back from a groin strain suffered exactly one month ago. He’ll surely DH most of the time for the Brewers, which will typically leave just one lineup spot for Garrett Mitchell and Jake Bauers against right-handers. That’ll have the Brewers picking between defense and offense, with Mitchell in center and Jackson Chourio in left or Chourio in center and Bauers in left. Bauers probably ought to be dropped in leagues in which he was picked up.

Tyler Black

MIL 3rd Baseman #7

Brewers optioned INF/OF Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville.

In spite of his success at the end of last month, Black wasn’t finding much playing time with Andrew Vaughn back, and now he also would have Christian Yelich to contend with. So, he’ll resume playing regularly in the minors after going 9-for-27 with four doubles and seven RBI during his 2 1/2 weeks in the majors.

A.J. Minter

NYM Relief Pitcher #33

A.J. Minter threw a bullpen session Tuesday and expects to return to his rehab assignment by this weekend.

Minter, who is trying to come back from lat surgery, recently had a setback with his surgically repaired hip, causing him to be pulled off his rehab assignment last week. He might be back in the Mets bullpen by the end of the month.

Jo Adell

LAA Right Fielder #7
Despite going 5-for-8 with two homers in his last two games, Jo Adell has been dropped to seventh in the Angels lineup on Tuesday.

Vaughn Grissom is replacing him in the fifth spot. Adell is hitting .279/.318/.418, but the Angels are apparently hoping to get more out of Grissom’s on-base ability. It’s the first time this season that Adell has hit lower than sixth.

Davis Schneider

TOR Left Fielder #36
Davis Schneider is hitting eighth against Rays lefty Shane McClanahan on Tuesday.

Schneider is hitting .143/.324/.250 on the season and hasn’t started against a righty since Apr. 26. One wonders if he might be tracking for a Triple-A demotion if the Jays start getting healthy. Lenyn Sosa is getting more starts than Schneider and hitting higher in the lineup when both play versus lefties. He’s at second base and batting fifth tonight.

Quinn Priester

MIL Starting Pitcher #46

Quinn Priester will restart his rehab assignment this weekend as he tries to return from thoracic outlet syndrome.

Priester last pitched on May 1, giving up five runs while getting six outs for Triple-A Nashville. His fastball velocity has been down 2.4 mph from last year in his three Triple-A outings.
