  • Headed to Triple-A
    Peraza (shoulder) was transferred to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to continue his rehab assignment Saturday.

    Advice: Peraza went 2-for-16 with two solo home runs, four runs scored and a stolen base over 16 at-bats in five games with Double-A Somerset and he'll now advance to the final step of his recovery from the shoulder injury he suffered in February. The 23-year-old could return to the Yankees at some point during their four-game series with the Mariners beginning Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:36 am

  • Launches homer Friday
    Neto went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 9-3 win against the Rangers on Friday.

    Advice: Neto broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning with a 405-foot, two-run blast to left field. The shortstop has homered in consecutive contests after going deep just once through his first 13 games in May. Neto is enjoying a strong month overall, slashing .308/.345/.519 with three homers, five RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases over 15 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:31 am
     
  • Tim Anderson (back) starting rehab assignment
    Tim Anderson (back) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday with Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Anderson hit the injured list earlier this month with lower back tightness and is already on the verge of returning. He could presumably be back early next week, barring something unexpected. Rotoworld Today, 10:29 am

  • Sitting versus lefty
    Cruz isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Left-hander Shota Imanaga will start on the mound Saturday for Chicago, meaning the lefty-hitting Cruz will step out of the lineup. Alika Williams will fill the opening at shortstop while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 10:11 am
     
  • Out again Saturday
    Hoerner (hamstring) isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Saturday marks the fifth game in a row that Hoerner has missed thanks to his sore left hamstring. The Cubs have been hopeful that the infielder would be able to avoid the IL, but manager Craig Counsell said Friday that Hoerner may need to spend time on the injured list if his hamstring continues to bother him. Nick Madrigal and Miles Mastrobuoni will once again serve as the Cubs' middle infielders Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 9:56 am

  • Oneil Cruz getting day off Saturday vs. Cubs
    Oneil Cruz is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cubs.

    Advice: It’s a routine off day for Cruz with lefty Shota Imanaga toeing the rubber for Chicago. The 25-year-old shortstop has hit a small rough patch of late, hitting .207 (6-for-29) over his last seven contests. He does have two homers and one steal during that stretch, but has also struck out eight times with only one walk as well. Rotoworld Today, 9:25 am
     
  • Optioned to St. Paul
    The Twins optioned Martin to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

    Advice: With Byron Buxton (knee) returning from the injured list, Martin will be pushed back to Triple-A. During his latest stint in the majors, the 25-year-old utility player went 3-for-14 with two stolen bases and scored three times in eight games. Rotowire.com Today, 9:24 am

  • Twins option Austin Martin back to Triple-A
    Twins optioned INF/OF Austin Martin to Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: Martin was back up for a couple weeks as Byron Buxton’s replacement on Minnesota’s active roster, but will head back with the veteran center fielder set to return fro Saturday’s game in Cleveland. The 25-year-old rookie has batted .224/.289/.355 with one homer and four steals in 83 plate appearances over 30 contests this season at the highest level. Rotoworld Today, 9:17 am

  • Nico Hoerner (hamstring) not in Saturday’s lineup
    Nico Hoerner (hamstring) remains absent from the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Pirates.

    Advice: There’s been zero indication that Hoerner will wind up requiring a trip to the injured list, but he’s out of Chicago’s lineup for the fifth straight game on Saturday afternoon due to ongoing left hamstring tightness. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, but there’s a possibility the Cubs will have to send him to the injured list if he’s unable to return this weekend. Rotoworld Today, 8:38 am
