  • Falls into timeshare
    Maldonado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Maldonado has fallen into a timeshare behind the dish with Korey Lee, with both backstops having now made four starts apiece over the past eight games. Even in AL-only leagues, Maldonado won't retain much fantasy value while he's hitting .048 on the season and not even playing on a regular basis. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Marlins option Jhonny Pereda back to Triple-A
    Marlins optioned C Jhonny Pereda to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: The 28-year-old backstop didn’t see much action during his brief stint with the Marlins, going 0-for-5 with one strikeout in his three appearances. He’ll continue to serve as excess catching depth at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld Today, 1:34 pm

    Advice: Pereda served as the No. 2 catcher behind Nick Fortes while Christian Bethancourt (illness) was on the 10-day injured list. but he's no longer needed with Bethancourt getting activated Wednesday.

  • Iván Herrera goes 0-for-3 versus D-backs
    Iván Herrera went 0-for-3 before coming out of Wednesday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: It appeared the decision was to remove him was just for defense, which would be rather interesting if it’s the case. Pedro Pagés replaced him and got a walk in his lone plate appearance. Herrera is in a 1-for-17 slump that’s dropped his OPS from .856 to .668. We believe in his bat, but the Cardinals might revisit the idea of playing him so often between catcher and DH if this slump lingers. Rotoworld Today, 1:01 pm
