Rice put five balls in play, the softest of which was a 94.6-mph single. His one out was a 107.0-mph grounder. To think he’d probably be in the minors right now if Giancarlo Stanton was healthy, and even with Stanton out, the Yankees weighed picking Dominic Smith over him this spring. Rice is batting .317/.414/.650 in 17 games.

Loáisiga threw 19 pitches (14 strikes) in his first rehab outing at the Triple-A level. He’s expected to make a handful of additional rehab appearances over the next few days before returning to New York. The 30-year-old righty is working his way back after missing nearly all of last season recovering from flexor tendon surgery.

The 27-year-old still claims he hopes to beat the 4-6 week timeline back onto the field, but this makes us feel like 6-8 weeks could seem more likely since he has to wait for three separate injuries to heal before he can start swinging a bat again. If you have IL spots, he’s an easy player to stash, but if you’re in leagues that don’t have any, it becomes a much tougher decision. We’d try to hold onto him if you can, but six weeks is a long time to wait if your fantasy teams are struggling.

The Yankees fell behind 3-2 in the top of the seventh tonight, only to rally for 10 in the bottom of the inning. Wells’ single off Adrian Morejon opened the scoring that inning and his slam off Wandy Peralta finished it. It was Wells’ first career grand slam and his first five-RBI game as a major leaguer. He also picked up his second career stolen base tonight.

This was the ‘TJ Friedl’ show as he opened the game by homering off a hanging curveball from Grant Holmes in a game the Reds would never trail. He took Holmes deep again in his next at-bat and this was his first multi-home run game since August 14th of last season. While his tools will never jump off the page, he’s still hitting lead-off nearly every day for the Reds.

Bryant will travel to Los Angeles on Thursday to have the procedure performed to aid healing in his back. The 33-year-old former NL MVP was diagnosed last month with lumbar degenerative disease and will have to manage the ongoing issue for the remainder of his playing career. There is no timetable for his return at the moment.

The injury was previously reported as “inflammation,” but now we know that the inflammation is the result of a strain. Astros manager Joe Espada said the diagnosis was “good news,” and the team still hopes Alvarez will have a minimum stint on the IL, but he’ll obviously need to wait for the strained muscle or tendon to heal, which might take more than a week depending on the severity of the strain.
