Gary Sanchez - C - Yankees

Gary Sanchez is out of the Yankees' lineup Tuesday against the Royals.

It sounds like a routine day off for the young backstop. Austin Romine will start behind the dish and catch left-hander Jordan Montgomery.

Josh Smoker - R - Mets

Mets recalled LHP Josh Smoker from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Smoker will rejoin the Mets' bullpen with Hansel Robles headed to the minors. The southpaw owns a 7.88 ERA and 20/10 K/BB ratio over 16 innings with the big club this season.

Hansel Robles - R - Mets

Mets optioned RHP Hansel Robles to Triple-A Las Vegas.

It wasn't too long ago that Robles looked like one of the club's better relief arms, but he has been rocked for 12 runs on 10 hits (including four home runs) and four walks in his last three appearances. His ERA now stands at 6.23 for the year. Josh Smoker will take his place in the bullpen.

Michael Saunders - OF - Phillies

Michael Saunders is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Rockies.

Saunders is hitless over his last four games and owns an ugly .227/.273/.383 batting line through 41 games on the year. Phillies manager Pete Mackanin is giving Ty Kelly a shot in left field on Monday, with Aaron Altherr starting in right field.

Robinson Cano - 2B - Mariners

Mariners activated 2B Robinson Cano from the 10-day disabled list.

Cano is a welcome sight for the Mariners, who have lost three in a row. The veteran second baseman has been out since May 10 with a right quad strain. He returns to a .296/.362/.533 batting line with eight homers and 28 RBI over 34 games.
May 23 - 3:07 PM
Maikel Franco - 3B - Phillies

Maikel Franco is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rockies.

Maybe it's not a bad idea to give him a breather. Franco went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts on Monday and owns a disappointing .221/.281/.377 batting line through 41 games this season. Andres Blanco will start at third base.

Red Sox optioned RHP Hector Velazquez to Triple-A Pawtucket.

The newly-promoted Sam Travis will take his place on the active roster. The Red Sox were already planning to skip Velazquez's next turn after he was knocked around for six runs over five innings against the A's last Thursday.
