  • Removed with knee discomfort
    Perez was pulled from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to right knee discomfort.

    Advice: Perez hit a three-run homer in the fourth inning to give Kansas City a 3-0 lead, but his knee caused him to come out of the game during the eighth. It's unclear how severe the backstop's injury is, but the Royals should know more before Saturday's contest. If he does have to miss any amount of time, Freddy Fermin would be the next man up as Kansas City's catcher. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:21 pm

  • Exits with concussion-like symptoms
    Davis was removed from Friday's game against the Rockies after exhibiting concussion-like symptoms.

  • Colt Keith collects two hits in loss to Astros
    Colt Keith went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles as the Tigers were shut out by the Astros on Friday evening in Houston.

    Advice: As a team, the Tigers were only able to muster five total hits against Hunter Brown and company on Friday night, with Keith the only member of the squad to have more than one. The 22-year-old’s bat has started to heat up after a miserable start to his MLB career, but he’s still slashing an underwhelming .222/.273/.284 with just two homers, 19 RBI and three stolen bases in 60 games on the season.

  • Serving as DH on Friday
    Montero is starting as the designated hitter and batting eighth for Friday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Montero was initially slated to begin Friday's game on the bench, but he was inserted into the starting lineup after Jake Cave (undisclosed) was hit in the head by a line drive during batting practice. Montero will face off against Pirates opener Carmen Mlodzinski. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:18 pm
     
  • On verge of rehab assignment
    Polanco (hamstring) is slated to run the bases before Thursday's game against the White Sox and then head out on a rehab assignment, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Advice: Polanco has been progressively ramping up his level of activity in recent days, apparently without any setbacks. MLB.com reports that general manager Justin Hollander indicated team trainers would jointly assess Polanco's condition with the veteran infielder following Thursday's activity, at which point the length of the rehab assignment would likely be determined.

  • On base five times in loss
    Perez went 2-for-2 with three walks in Wednesday's 11-5 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Perez walked three times in a game for the first time in his career. The catcher has gone just 6-for-33 (.182) over 10 contests in June, but he's shown rare patience at the plate by drawing eight walks in that span. For the season, he's at a .302/.381/.488 slash line with 10 home runs, 42 RBI, 26 runs scored, 15 doubles and no stolen bases, and his 9.0 percent walk rate is double his previous career high, which was in a 39-game sample as a rookie in 2011.

  • Sitting against left-hander
    Keith is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Southpaw Patrick Corbin is on the bump for the Nationals, so the left-handed-hitting Keith will begin the contest on the bench. Andy Ibanez will handle second base for the Tigers. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:59 am

  • Belts first homer
    Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday in a 4-2 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Davis gave Pittsburgh its second run of the contest with a solo shot to center field in the eighth inning. The long ball was his first in what has been a very disappointing season, as he's slashing a meager .157/.273/.241 through 99 plate appearances. With Joey Bart (thumb) on the injured list, Davis has been splitting time behind the plate with veteran Yasmani Grandal. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:09 pm

  • Henry Davis hits first homer versus Cardinals
    Henry Davis hit his first homer of the season Wednesday off the Cardinals’ Andrew Kittredge.

    Advice: It was his lone hit tonight and second in 15 at-bats since he was recalled from Triple-A last week. He’s now up to 100 plate appearances for the season and has 13 hits, five RBI and 38 strikeouts. Odds are that he’ll return to Triple-A once Joey Bart comes off the IL. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:20 pm
