  • Rehab moving to Double-A
    The Yankees transferred Peraza's (shoulder) rehab assignment from Single-A Tampa to Double-A Somerset on Friday.

    Advice: Peraza went 2-for-5 with a homer, two walks and three runs in two games at Single-A and will now move his rehab to the Double-A level. The 23-year-old originally suffered the shoulder injury in late February and was shut down in early March, so he likely still needs a significant number of at-bats in the minors before being cleared to come off the injured list.

  • Showing improvement
    Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a run scored Thursday against the Giants.

    Advice: Rodgers played his part in a seven-run fourth inning for Colorado by reaching base on a single and coming around to score. It was an otherwise unremarkable game, but he has at least one hit in 11 of his last 13 starts. He's hit .313 with five RBI and six runs scored in that span. Rodgers still has a poor .632 OPS for the season, but he has shown signs of life at the plate of late. Rotowire.com Today, 6:25 am
     
  • Two RBI in loss
    Steer went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Arizona.

    Advice: Steer delivered two runs on a two-out single in the bottom the seventh inning to tie the game before the Diamondbacks went ahead an inning later. He continues to produce with runners in scoring position, posting a .359 average and 1.022 OPS in such situations. Rotowire.com Today, 5:44 am

  • Enters starting lineup
    Alexander started at shortstop, batted ninth and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Thursday's 5-4 win over Cincinnati.

    Advice: Alexander made his first start in four games, as suspect defense kept his potentially productive bat (.845 OPS, .194 ISO) out of the lineup in favor of Kevin Newman (.525, .125). Alexander's bat has cooled off recently, as the rookie is 1-for-13 over the last seven contests. Rotowire.com Today, 4:53 am
     
  • Sidelined by illness
    Rengifo (illness) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Rengifo has been held out of the lineup for five straight games with the illness, so his stint on the injured list will be retroactive to May 6. Kyren Paris was recalled from Double-A Rocket City in a corresponding move and should take over in a utility role while Rengifo is sidelined. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:40 pm

  • Placed on injured list
    Drury (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Drury exited Wednesday's game after dealing with tightness in his hamstring, an issue he first dealt with in mid-April. He'll be sidelined for at least the next 10 days, leaving Luis Guillorme as the Angels' projected starting second baseman in the short term. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:36 pm

  • In Thursday's lineup
    Guillorme will hit eighth and play second base Thursday against the Royals.

    Advice: The Angels acquired Guillorme Thursday and he'll immediately be set for his debut with the team. With Brandon Drury (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Guillorme could be in line for regular playing time in the short term. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:34 pm
     
  • Angels put Brandon Drury (hamstring) on 10-day IL
    Angels placed INF Brandon Drury on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: No word yet on the severity of the injury, which will determine how long Drury remains on the shelf. The 31-year-old suffered the injury during Wednesday’s contest against the Pirates and figures to miss at least a couple weeks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:30 pm

  • Luis Rengifo (viral infection) lands on 10-day IL
    Angels placed INF Luis Renfigo on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 6, with a viral infection.

    Advice: Rengifo finally heads to the injured list following a five-game absence due to a viral infection. The 27-year-old infielder should be ready to return when first eligible to be activated later next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:28 pm
