  • 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 13 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 13 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 19 minutes ago
     
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    Monasterio was recalled from Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Friday.

    Advice: Monasterio was hitless in seven at-bats earlier this season with the Brewers and went 5-for-12 during his time at Nashville. He will provide Milwaukee with infield depth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:39 pm

  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Martin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Martin is in the midst of a modest five-game hit streak but will head to the bench for Friday's contest. Trevor Larnach will take over in left field and bat cleanup in the series opener versus Detroit. Rotowire.com Today, 1:31 pm

  • Brewers recall Andruw Monasterio from Triple-A
    Brewers recalled INF Andrew Monasterio from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: With Jake Bauers landing on the bereavement list on Friday, the Brewers needed some extra depth on their bench for the weekend, so Monasterio will rejoin the Brewers after being optioned out to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday. Monasterio is 0-for-7 with a pair of runs scored in his limited action with the Brewers this season. Rotoworld Today, 1:22 pm

  • Hit in loss
    Lopez went 1-for-2 in a 2-1 win over Kansas City on Wednesday.

    Advice: It's been a difficult start to the season for the 29-year-old, as Lopez's slash line sits at .167/.255/.167. While he does have two hits over the last five games, the infielder has yet to tally an extra-base hit and he's been a liability on the base paths during the rare occasion that he's gotten on base, having been thrown out four times this season. The six-year veteran signed a one-year, $4.3 million contract with the White Sox this offseason, but given the team's dreary record, it wouldn't be surprising to see Lopez get ample opportunities to find his way out of this rut.

  • RBI in loss
    Farmer went 1-for-3 with an RBI in the 4-2 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

    Advice: Farmer has played in six games since Carlos Correa injured his oblique bouncing between third and shortstop over the past week. While the Twins have said the All-Star's injury is relatively minor, his return status remains unclear, which should open up opportunities for Farmer to get more at-bats. A lifetime .252 hitter, there's bound to be a bit of positive regression to the mean with the veteran averaging .097 across 38 at-bats this season. Rotowire.com Today, 1:08 pm

  • One walk, one run in win
    Short went 0-for-3 with one run and one walk in the 9-1 win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

    Advice: With Brett Baty out due to a hamstring injury, Short got just his second start since April. The utility infielder likely will have a spot carved out on the roster due to his versatility, and he's at least not a minus runner in the event he's able to get on base. Don't expect the 28-year-old to see much more than a spot start on occasion unless multiple members of the infield pick up injuries. Rotowire.com Today, 1:07 pm
