Rotoworld

J.T. Realmuto

PHI Catcher #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

J.T. Realmuto went 1-for-4 on Friday against the Diamondbacks in his return to the lineup.

There was some real concern after Realmuto fouled a ball off his foot earlier this week, but he managed to avoid serious injury. The 35-year-old veteran backstop is hitting .241 (7-for-29) with one homer and one RBI in 10 games this season.

Victor Bericoto

SF

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Giants selected the contract of OF Victor Bericoto from Triple-A Sacramento.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 24-year-old outfielder. Bericoto was off to a strong start offensively at Triple-A Sacramento, slashing .299/.355/.449 with six homers and 30 RBI in 186 plate appearances. He is not in the Giants’ starting lineup on Friday night but should see action in right field with Jung Hoo Lee (back) sidelined.

Jung Hoo Lee

SF Right Fielder #51

Giants placed OF Jung Hoo Lee on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 19, with a mid-back strain.

The 27-year-old outfielder had been attempting to play through the injury but after being reevaluated on Friday the club thought it was in his best interest to sit him down for a bit and make sure that everything heals properly. Victor Bericoto was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move on Friday.

Sterlin Thompson

COL Right Fielder #30

Rockies recalled OF Sterlin Thompson from Triple-A Albuquerque.

With Mickey Moniak (ankle) heading to the injured list, Thompson will have another opportunity to show what he can do at the big league level. The 24-year-old outfielder went 1-for-8 in his limited action with the Rockies during a brief stay with the Rockies last week.

Mickey Moniak

COL Left Fielder #22

Rockies placed OF Mickey Moniak on the 10-day injured list with a right ankle sprain.

Moniak apparently suffered the injury during a collision in the outfield while the team was in Pittsburgh and had been attempting to play through it. He’s not expected to need much longer than the minimum stint on the injured list. Sterlin Thompson was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to take his place on the Rockies’ active roster.

Kodai Senga

NYM Starting Pitcher #34

Kodai Senga pitched decently in his first minor league rehab start at Low-A St. Lucie on Friday, giving up two runs on four hits across 3 1/3 innings of work.

The right-hander struck out two batters and walked one in the ballgame, throwing 36 of his 61 pitches for strikes. His fastball looked lively and topped out at 97.7 mph during the outing. He’s expected to require multiple rehab starts before he’s an option to rejoin the Mets in some capacity.

Shane Bieber

TOR Starting Pitcher #57

Shane Bieber (elbow) will make his first minor league rehab start for the Florida Complex League Blue Jays on Monday.

Bieber has been brought along cautiously after experiencing renewed elbow inflammation over the offseason. He’s going to need several minor league rehab starts before he’s ready to rejoin the Blue Jays’ rotation. If all goes well, expect him to debut before the end of June.

Alejandro Kirk

TOR Catcher #30

Alejandro Kirk (thumb) plans to join the Blue Jays in Toronto this weekend to ramp up his hitting progression.

Kirk has already been catching bullpens and live batting practice sessions regularly in Dunedin so it sounds like being cleared to hit live pitching will be his final hurdle before he’s cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment. He’s still probably at least a couple of weeks away, but appears to be trending in the right direction.

Brandon Nimmo

TEX Right Fielder #24

Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) returned to the Rangers’ starting lineup for Friday night’s contest against the Angels.

Nimmo was pulled from Wednesday’s series finale against the Rockies due to tightness in his right hamstring. He had said all along that it was a precautionary measure and that he planned to play on Friday and that appears to be the case. He’s batting third against Angels’ right-hander Grayson Rodriguez on Friday evening in Los Angeles.

Heliot Ramos

SF Left Fielder #17

Heliot Ramos (quad) received a platelet-rich plasma injection on Friday and will be shut down from baseball activity for the next week.

The Giants are hopeful that the injection will take care of the quad strain that Ramos had been battling and that he’ll be able to start building back up after resting for a week. As of now there’s no clear timeline for a potential return to the Giants’ lineup.

Ty Blach

CHC Relief Pitcher #50

Cubs sent LHP Ty Blach outright to Triple-A Iowa.

Blach, 35, had been designated for assignment earlier in the week. He made just one appearance during his brief stay with the Cubs, hurling three scoreless innings of relief. He’ll bide his time at Triple-A Iowa until another opportunity arises at the big league level.
