    • Beginning five-game suspension
      Peralta began serving his five-game suspension for intentionally throwing at Ray's Jose Siri on April 30.

      Advice: Peralta initially opted to appeal the league's five-game suspension, but the right-hander elected to drop the appeal following his start against the Cubs on Sunday, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. This means Peralta will not end up missing a start and will pitch Saturday against the Cardinals. He has a 3-1 record over seven starts with a 3.49 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 50:15 K:BB over 38.2 innings this season. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
       
    • Activated ahead of Monday's start
      Steele (hamstring) was activated from the 15-day injured list by the Cubs on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

      Advice: Steele will rejoin the Cubs' rotation Monday versus the Padres after being sidelined since late March with a strained left hamstring. The left-hander threw just 63 pitches in his lone rehab outing, so he will have his workload curtailed Monday to some degree. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
       
    • Cubs activate Steele (hamstring) for start Monday
      Cubs activated Justin Steele off the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: Steele is off the IL and will be the starter for the Cubs on Monday against the Royals. The left-hander made one rehab start while recovering from his hamstring trouble, but he should be stretched out enough to provide fantasy value in the coming weeks. Rotoworld Today, 1:46 pm
       
    • Nolan Gorman sitting out again Monday vs. Mets
      Nolan Gorman is not in the lineup Monday against the Mets.

      Advice: Gorman will sit for a second-consecutive game with left-hander Jose Quintana on the mound. Jose Fermin is getting the start at the keystone while leading off against Quintana and the Metropolitans. Rotoworld Today, 1:34 pm

    • Tommy Edman (wrist) moved to 60-day IL
      Cardinals transferred Tommy Edman from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

      Advice: Edman now won’t be eligible to return for the Cardinals until the end of May as he recovers from his wrist injury. Chris Raycroft was selected from Triple-A Memphis with the added roster room. Rotoworld Today, 1:14 pm

    • Moves to 60-day IL
      The Cardinals transferred Edman (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

      Advice: Edman has been on the IL all season while working his way back from October surgery on his right wrist. The 28-year-old has resumed taking swings from both sides of the plate without incident, but since he has yet to be cleared for full baseball activities, the expectation was that he would still need at least a few more weeks to finish up his rehab program. With that in mind, Edman's move to the 60-day IL doesn't come as surprise, and his potential timeline for a return won't be dramatically affected as a result. He won't be eligible to make his 2024 Cardinals debut until May 24. Rotowire.com Today, 12:47 pm

    • Starting at second base Monday
      Merrifield will start at second base and bat eighth in Monday's contest against the Giants, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Merrifield's playing time with the Phillies this season has been sparse, but he could see increased reps at second base over the next several weeks on days Bryson Stott slides over to shortstop to cover for the injured Trea Turner (hamstring). The 35-year-old has been solid in 2024 in his limited chances, putting up a .724 OPS with two home runs and three stolen bases across 53 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:21 am
       
    • Getting start at shortstop
      Stott will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Monday's game versus the Giants, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Edmundo Sosa handled shortstop for the Phillies in the team's first two games without Trea Turner (hamstring), but Stott will man the position Monday while Whit Merrifield plays second base. Stott is making his first start at shortstop since Game 6 of the 2022 World Series. Rotowire.com Today, 9:15 am
       
    • Merrifield starting at 2B for Phillies on Monday
      Whit Merrifield will start at second base for the Phillies on Monday against the Giants.

      Advice: Bryson Stott will slide to shortstop to accommodate Merrifield in the starting lineup against a right-handed pitcher. In the first two games without Trea Turner, the Phillies turned to Edmundo Sosa at shortstop and allowed Stott to remain at second base, but Sosa went 2-for-9 in those games, so the team may be looking to see what else can work. Stott didn’t play any shortstop last year with Turner in Philadelphia, but he did play 658 innings there in 2022 and graded out slightly below average. If the Phillies feel that he can handle shortstop again, that could mean extra at-bats for Merrifield, who hasn’t been great to start his career in Philadelphia. Rotoworld Today, 9:06 am
