  • Nearing game action
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Perdomo (knee) is expected to play in live games "very, very shortly," Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old has already taken live at-bats but has yet to run thus bases, so he still has a bit of work to do in his rehab program before seeing game action. Lovullo said in mid-May that Perdomo was expected to return from the injured list in a couple weeks, but it instead appears the shortstop's absence will extend into June. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

  • Royce Lewis (quad) plays 3B on Tuesday at AAA
    Royce Lewis (quad) played seven innings at third base on Tuesday for Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: Lewis went 0-for-3 at the dish and made his first appearance in the field since kicking off a minor league rehab assignment last week. The 24-year-old third baseman will presumably require at least a handful of additional tune-up contests to get back up to speed before returning to Minnesota. This was certainly a step in the right direction as he works his way back from a severe quad strain that sent him to the injured list back on Opening Day. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago

  • Yandy Diaz moves down to second spot vs. A’s
    Yandy Diaz is hitting second and playing first base versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Advice: Diaz has 231 plate appearances thus far in 2024, and 223 of those have come in the leadoff spot. He’s hit just .254 with a .686 from that spot, however, so Tampa Bay will move the 32-year-old down a spot in the lineup. Richie Palacios is leading off and playing right field against Mitch Spence and the A’s on Tuesday. Rotoworld Today, 12:16 pm

  • Absent from starting nine
    Urshela is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: The Tigers will reward Matt Vierling's two-homer performance Sunday by giving him another start at the hot corner, pushing Urshela out of the starting lineup against Jared Jones. Urshela is slashing .273/.312/.318 without a home run across 93 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:53 am

  • DFA'd by Oakland
    The Athletics designated Nevin for assignment Tuesday.

    Advice: Nevin had a strong start to his campaign for the Athletics with an .875 OPS through his first 25 games, but a 1-for-43 slump will end up costing him his place on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Aledmys Diaz (calf) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 11:31 am

    Diaz (calf) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Diaz has missed the first two months of the 2024 campaign with a strained right calf he sustained in early March. He appeared in 10 games at Triple-A during his rehab assignment and slashed .154/.313/.308 with six walks and five strikeouts in 32 plate appearances. He figures to compete with Max Schuemann and Abraham Toro for work at shortstop and third base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:29 am

  • Tyler Nevin removed from 40-man roster by A’s
    Athletics designated INF Tyler Nevin for assignment.

    Advice: Nevin hit .220 with four homers and a .649 OPS while he was with Oakland. He now hits the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed he’ll likely report back to Triple-A Las Vegas. Rotoworld Today, 11:26 am

  • Athletics reinstate Aledmys Díaz off 60-day IL
    Athletics reinstated INF Aledmys Díaz off the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Díaz will have a chance to play after missing the first two months of the season with a calf strain. The 33-year-old returns for Oakland, and Tyler Nevin was designated for assignment to make room for him on the active and 40-man roster. Rotoworld Today, 11:24 am

  • Activated from injured list
    The Pirates activated Hayes (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Hayes has been sidelined since early May with a back injury but will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back on the Pirates' active roster. The third baseman is slashing a disappointing .240/.322/.318 with just one home run and zero stolen bases this season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:57 am
