    • On bench Saturday
      Perez (knee) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Perez was pulled from Friday's game with right knee discomfort and will be held out of the lineup Saturday, giving way to Freddy Fermin behind the dish. While it's unclear how severe Perez's injury is, the Royals felt the need to call up catcher Austin Nola from Triple-A Omaha, indicating Perez could miss multiple games. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

    • Royals recall Austin Nola from Triple-A Omaha
      Royals recalled C Austin Nola from Triple-A Omaha.

      Advice: With Salvador Perez banged up, the Royals wanted to have some extra catching depth on hand for the remainder of their weekend series against the Dodgers. The 34-year-old backstop had been hitting just .100/.167/.167 with a homer, five RBI and a 15/4 K/BB ratio in 20 games at Triple-A Omaha. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago

      Smith is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: Smith will give way to Austin Barnes behind the dish for the second time in three days, with Barnes batting ninth Saturday. In 256 plate appearances, Smith owns a .848 OPS with 10 homers and a 16.0 percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm
       
    • Back in big leagues
      Huff was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

      Advice: Huff will return to the major-league roster after being sent down in late April, replacing Jonah Heim with the team in Seattle after Heim was placed on the paternity list Saturday. Huff will likely operate as the backup catcher to Andrew Knizner while in the bigs. Rotowire.com Today, 1:15 pm
       
    • Placed on paternity list
      Heim was placed on the paternity list Saturday.

      Advice: Heim will be away from the team for up to three days as he is with his family for the birth of his third child. In the meantime, fellow catcher Sam Huff was called up from Triple-A Round Rock to replace him on the major-league roster. Rotowire.com Today, 1:12 pm
       
    • Rangers recall Sam Huff from Triple-A on Saturday
      Rangers recalled C Sam Huff from Triple-A Round Rock.

      Advice: With Jonah Heim hitting the paternity list on Saturday, Huff will get another opportunity to show what he can do at the big-league level. Huff has appeared in one game but has not had a plate appearance for the Rangers this season. He’s a career .262/.314/.462 hitter with 10 homers and 20 RBI in 210 plate appearances at the game’s highest level. Rotoworld Today, 1:06 pm
       
    • Rangers place Jonah Heim on paternity list
      Rangers placed C Jonah Heim on the paternity list.

      Advice: The hard-hitting 28-year-old backstop will be away from the team for a few days to welcome a new addition to his family. Sam Huff was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock and will help share the load behind the plate while Heim is away. Rotoworld Today, 1:04 pm
       
    • Day off Saturday
      Trevino is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Red Sox.

      Advice: Trevino will get a day off after he went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-1 win. Austin Wells will take over at catcher and bat eighth against Boston. Rotowire.com Today, 12:59 pm
       
    • Aiming for return in late June
      Contreras (forearm) is targeting a return in late June, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

      Advice: Contreras has resumed taking batting practice and hopes to be cleared to begin a rehab assignment early next week. If that happens, a return sometime during the Cardinals' June 22-30 homestand is likely. It would be at least a couple weeks quicker than he was initially expected back following surgery in early May to repair a fractured forearm. Rotowire.com Today, 11:04 am
