B. Moss - DH

Update: Royals will sign Brandon Moss to a two-year contract worth $12 million.

Moss figures to be a nice movable piece for the Royals, who can platoon and play some DH. The veteran did hit 28 home runs in 2016, but his .225/.300/.484 line made it a costly 28 for owners. He could be a late round target in deeper leagues and monoleagues since he figures to see regular at bats.

E. Butler - RP

Rockies have designated Eddie Butler for assignment.

Last season with the Rockies, Butler was a little disappointing. He had an ERA of 6.96 in 54 1/3 innings. He made nine starts and three relief appearances before being sent down to Triple -A.

J. Hwang - 3B

Giants have signed Jae-gyun Hwang to a minor league contract with an invite to spring training.

The 29-year-old was an absolute beast in the Korean Baseball Organization last season. He had a batting average of .330 with 26 home runs, 104 RBIs, and 24 stolen bases. He will make $1.5 million and if he has a solid spring he could earn a roster spot on the Giants opening day roster.

Greg Holland has passed his physical making his one-year deal with Colorado official.

With the deal being official, Holland gets a guaranteed $7 million with the Rockies. The deal also includes non-closing incentives which make the total $10 million. Holland is coming off of Tommy John surgery and if he isn't ready by the start of the season then expect Adam Ottavino to close comes until Holland is ready to return.

I. Davis - 1B

Dodgers signed Ike Davis to a minor league contract.

Davis was once a promising power hitting prospect for the Mets but his days as a fantasy contributor are likely long gone unless he finds his power stroke against right handed pitching again.

K. Medlen - SP

ARI

Kris Medlen has signed a minor league deal with the Braves.

In 2012-13, Medlen enjoyed his finest stretch as a pro, and it happened to come in Braves uniform. While it is unreasonable to expect those numbers, Medlen could work his way back to the majors, but does not figure to be much of a contributor. Since having two Tommy John surgeries, he has yet to find that old form.

I. Davis - 1B

Dodgers signed Ike Davis to a minor league contract.

Davis, who hit 32 home runs for the Mets back in 2012, has struggled mightily in his past four seasons as he's played a total of 82 Major League games since 2014. He last played for the Yankees where he made 15 plate appearances in 2016. He is unlikely to make the Dodgers roster at any point this season but stranger things have happened. He'd have to really show the team's staff that he's recaptured his swing that he had back in the early 2010s with the Mets.

K. Medlen - SP

ARI

Braves will bring back Kris Medlen on a Minor League deal.

Medlen, who pitched with the Braves from 2009-2013, will be signed by Atlanta to a minor league deal in the near future. Medlen ended up having Tommy John surgery back in 2014 and missed the entire season and he also struggled with rotator cuff issues last season with the Royals. Over the past three seasons, Medlen has pitched in just 21 games at the Major League level. He's shown the ability to be a key contributor as a starter if he can stay healthy, and the Braves have decided to roll the dice on bringing him back into the fold. This represents a great low-risk, high-reward move for Atlanta.

J. Aguilar - DH

OAK

Indians have designated Jesus Aguilar for assignment.

Aguilar had a fairly lackluster 2016 in Triple-A and saw just six plate appearances while getting in nine games for the Indians. The team will now have 10 days to move him or Aguilar can accept an assignment to the minors.

R. Shaffer - 3B

Richie Shaffer was claimed off waivers by the Indians.

Since being a first round pick by the Rays in 2012, Shaffer has failed to impress at the Major-League level. His career .213 average is evidence of that, and he is not a favorite to make the Indians roster for Opening Day. That is if he sticks on their roster that long.

Y. Moncada - 3B

CWS

The White Sox are sitting Yoán Moncada and Tim Anderson for the second time in three games Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Since the White Sox didn’t play Monday, this means both veterans will have started only one game in four days. Anderson has been one of MLB’s worst players, so the White Sox are losing nothing there. Moncada, though, is hitting .284/.321/.487 with four homers this month. The White Sox have Lenyn Sosa at third and Elvis Andrus at short today.

J. Peterson - 3B

ARI

Jace Peterson is making his second straight start at third base Wednesday against the White Sox.

The Diamondbacks scored 15 runs last night, so they’re running it back with the same lineup today. That includes Peterson, even though he went 0-for-4 with a walk in the game. It’s the first time since Sept. 2-4 that he’s started consecutive games. He’s hit just .176/.263/.259 in 96 PA since being acquired from the A’s.

F. Freeman - 1B

Freddie Freeman went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, powering the Dodgers to an 11-2 blowout victory over the Rockies in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader.

Freeman’s two-run shot off Rockies reliever Gavin Hollowell in the sixth inning was his 27th round-tripper of the year. The 34-year-old veteran slugger has cobbled together a sublime offensive campaign in his second season with the Dodgers, slashing .333/.410/.564 with 127 runs scored, 27 homers, 98 RBI and a career-high 22 stolen bases across 709 plate appearances in 156 games. Unreal.

Elehuris Montero went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in the Rockies’ loss to the Dodgers in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader.

Montero got the Rockies on the scoreboard with a fifth-inning solo shot off burgeoning Dodgers ace Bobby Miller. It was his eighth long ball of the season. The 25-year-old slugger has shown some signs of life at the dish in the second half, batting .274 (43-for-157) with six homers in 45 games since the Midsummer Classic.

F. Valdez - SP

HOU

Bobby Miller recorded a career-high nine strikeouts over seven innings of two-run ball on Tuesday in a win over the Rockies.

Miller drew the starting assignment for the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader at Coors Field and wound up limiting Colorado’s offense to just a fifth-inning solo shot by Elehuris Montero and a sixth-inning RBI single by Nolan Jones. He fell just shy of his first career double-digit strikeout performance and didn’t hand out a free pass in a masterful effort in an extremely challenging ballpark. The hard-throwing 24-year-old right-hander is lined up to take the ball for Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Giants before playing a prominent role in the Dodgers’ postseason pitching plans. He’ll likely be on the mound for Game 1 of the NLDS.

Ty France went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a pair of runs scored on Tuesday night as the Mariners triumphed over the Astros 6-2 in Seattle.

France singled in the third inning then came around to score on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Julio Rodriguez. He then capped off the Mariners’ offense in the ballgame with a 404-foot solo shot off of Ryne Stanek in the eighth inning. With his two-hit attack, he’s hitting .251/.336/.365 with 11 homers and 57 RBI on the season.

The versatile 29-year-old started a rally with a one-out single in the fifth inning then swiped second base and scored on a throwing error by Kyle Tucker. On the season, he’s hitting an underwhelming .243/.303/.329 with three homers, 38 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 337 plate appearances.
