According to WSFA, in a shocking incident that has left the community in a state of distress, local authorities have arrested a Honduran immigrant who was residing in the country illegally. The suspect stands accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in the bathroom of a restaurant in Prattville, in what appears to be a random attack.

Votto (shoulder/biceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. Votto started his initial rehab assignment in early April, but it quickly became obvious his surgically repaired left shoulder and bicep weren't ready. The veteran first baseman has been ramping up his workouts in recent weeks and now feels ready to give it another shot. How many games he might need isn't yet clear, but a lengthy rehab stint seems probable. Once he's deemed ready, Votto figures to be used both at first base and designated hitter.

Reds' Joey Votto: Slated for rehab assignment

The Reds placed Friedl on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained left hamstring, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Friedl hasn't played since being removed from Tuesday's game against Boston. He's already begun doing field work alongside a bit of running, so he shouldn't require much more than a minimum stint on the IL, but that still means Friedl will be held out for another week or so. The 27-year-old outfielder is currently slashing .326/.377/.496 with 20 RBI through 158 plate appearances.

The Broncos are hoping that new coach Sean Payton will rejuvenate quarterback Russell Wilson in 2023. And they might have a secret weapon to help. That's what Payton all but suggested Thursday, envisioning second-year tight end Greg Dulcich not only as an improved blocker and pass catcher but as an all-purpose "Joker" who rotates between positions.

Crawford suffered a knee injury in the eighth inning of Saturday's loss to the Rangers but he plans to play against Texas on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Crawford suffered the knee injury while making a dive into second base and colliding with Leody Taveras. While Crawford was able to stay in the game, it was clear the shortstop was dealing with soreness. If the pain doesn't subside, he may sit out a game, but for now Crawford should be considered likely to be in the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Rangers.

Head coach Pete Carroll announced that Lucas (shoulder) is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. Lucas is nearing his return after undergoing shoulder surgery earlier in the offseason. The 24-year-old started all but one of the Seahawks' games last season as well as their wild-card loss to the 49ers and should be expected to have a similar role during the upcoming campaign.

Baltimore, MD

Zimmermann was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports. Zimmermann will head to the big leagues for the first time this season after opening the 2023 campaign in Triple-A. The left-hander has produced a 4.05 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 50 punchouts over 46.2 innings in nine starts with Norfolk this season. Zimmermann will take the spot of Mychal Givens, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. It's unclear whether Zimmermann will operate as a bullpen arm or get a chance to bump Austin Voth from the Orioles rotation.

Oakland, CA

Brown is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins. The Athletics have been running a five-man committee of late between the three outfield spots and designated hitter, with all of Brown, Ramon Laureano, JJ Bleday, Esteury Ruiz and Brent Rooker having handled at least semi-regular roles. Ruiz's playing time appears to be the most secure of the group, and though Brown finds himself as the odd man out versus a right-hander (Sandy Alcantara) on Sunday, Rooker seems to be losing the most playing time of late. Since returning from the injured list May 22, Brown is slashing just .132/.214/.289, but his .504 OPS over the past two weeks is still better than Rooker's mark (.447) over that same stretch.

Athletics' Seth Brown: Exits lineup Sunday

Two teen employees at a Burger King in Douglas have been charged on multiple counts for allegedly taking photos of customers' credit cards before using them to make several purchases. The first victim mentioned that over $2,000 in purchases were attempted on her card, with other victims coming forward since the initial report was made.

St. Louis designated Barrera for assignment Saturday, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Barrera will move off the 40-man roster after appearing in six games with St. Louis following his May 6 promotion from Triple-A Memphis. He went hitless in his two at-bats with the club. The Cardinals will announce a corresponding transaction before Sunday's game against the Pirates.
