  • Dylan Carlson (shoulder) making slow progress
    Dylan Carlson (shoulder) has started to take light swings in the batting cages and has done some defensive work, including throwing.

    Advice: The 25-year-old outfielder still feels pain on his follow-through when swinging right-handed, but he and the club have been pleased with his throwing work so far. There’s still no clear timetable for a potential return to the Cardinals’ lineup, though it’s encouraging to hear that he’s at least taking small steps in the right direction.

  • DFA'd by Arizona
    The Diamondbacks designated Peterson for assignment Friday.

    Advice: Peterson was unable to make the most of his opportunities after shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) was placed on the 10-day IL on April 7. Peterson hasn't recorded a hit since April 5, and he has reached base just four times over 26 plate appearances this season. In a corresponding move, the Diamondbacks recalled Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Matt Carpenter (oblique) takes swings on Friday
    Matt Carpenter (oblique) took swings on the field during batting practice on Friday without any issues.

    Advice: As long as he’s feeling well on Saturday, the veteran slugger could be cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment. Since he’s been sidelined since the beginning of April, he’s going to need at least a couple of game’s worth of at-bats before he’s ready to return from the injured list. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago

  • Recalled from Reno
    The Diamondbacks recalled Smith from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

    Advice: Smith has been at Triple-A since the beginning of the season and has slashed .298/.417/.456 with 14 RBI across 72 plate appearances. His hot bat will earn him a spot on the big-league roster, though it's unlikely he sees consistent playing time while in the majors. Jace Peterson was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

  • Diamondbacks recall Pavin Smith from Triple-A
    Diamondbacks recalled OF Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: The Diamondbacks cut bait on a slumping Jace Peterson on Friday, with Smith coming up from Triple-A to take his place on the active roster. The 28-year-old was hitting .298/.417/.456 with a pair of homers, 14 RBI and a 15/13 K/BB ratio over 72 plate appearances in his first 15 games at Triple-A Reno. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

  • Diamondbacks DFA veteran Jace Peterson on Friday
    Diamondbacks designated INF Jace Peterson for assignment.

    Advice: With Pavin Smith and Jordan Montgomery joining the big league roster on Friday, someone needed to get the boot from the active roster and unfortunately Peterson drew the short straw this time around. The versatile 33-year-old was just 1-for-22 (.045) with six strikeouts in his time with the Diamondbacks. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Ortiz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: It's the second straight game on the bench for Ortiz, who started the previous three contests. Oliver Dunn will step in at third base for Milwaukee as the pair continue to split playing time at the hot corner. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago

  • Sits again Friday
    Meyers is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Washington.

    Advice: It's the second straight game on the bench for Meyers, who has a .584 OPS over his past 11 contests. Mauricio Dubon is starting in center field Friday and could carve out a larger share of playing time if he can continue his hot stretch at the plate. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to bench Friday
    Stott is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Sott has a .618 OPS through 19 games this season and will take a seat Friday as lefty Garrett Crochet starts for Chicago. Edmundo Sosa will handle the keystone and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
