    • Matt McLain (shoulder) close to resuming swinging
      Reds manager David Bell told reporters Sunday that Matt McLain (shoulder) is close to resuming swinging a bat.

      Advice: The Reds are in the process of mapping out a definitive timeline for McLain to return at some point in August as he works his way back from late-March surgery on his left shoulder. The 24-year-old middle infielder was excellent last year in his debut for Cincinnati and figures to make a significant impact for fantasy managers down the home stretch, if he can avoid any setbacks. He’s worthy of a speculative stash in deeper mixed leagues at this point, even if he’s a couple months away from returning. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:35 am

    • Amed Rosario available off the bench on Sunday
      Amed Rosario (face) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Rosario told reporters he’s available off the bench, if needed. He also added that he isn’t experiencing any pain or related soreness, after being hit in the face by a pitch during Saturday’s game that resulted in a cut that required stitches. It sounds like he’s going to be ready to return in a couple days, if not sooner. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:44 am

    • Laces pair of doubles Saturday
      Moore went 2-for-5 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and two runs in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

      Advice: The Mariners gave Julio Rodriguez the night off, but Moore had no trouble helping make up for the slugger's absence by authoring one of four multi-hit efforts for Seattle. The pair of extra-base hits were right on brand for Moore, who's hit a double or better on 24 of his 42 knocks this season to put him just one XBH away from tying a career-best figure in that category.

    • Suspended 80 games for PED use
      Major League Baseball announced Sunday that Martinez has been suspended for 80 games for violating the league's drug prevention and treatment program, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: Two days after making his major-league debut against the Guardians, Martinez was dealt the 80-game ban for testing positive for clomiphene, a fertility drug on the league's banned substance list. In a statement following Martinez's suspension, Toronto general manager Ross Atkins fully supported the league's suspension of the 22-year-old prospect and said that the Blue Jays "will do everything in our power to ensure [Martinez] has learned from this mistake," per Davidi. The suspension will keep Martinez out of action until the tail end of the season, with a possible return date of Sept. 23 lining up with the start of the Blue Jays' penultimate series of the season against the Red Sox.

    • Orelvis Martinez hit with 80-game PED suspension
      Blue Jays top prospect Orelvis Martinez has received an 80-game suspension after testing positive for a performance enhancing substance.

      Advice: Wow. According to a team statement, Martinez tested positive for clomiphene, a performance-enhancing substance. Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins added “We were both surprised and disappointed to learn of Orelvis Martinez’s suspension. We will do everything in our power to ensure Orelvis has learned from this mistake. Orelvis has our support and we know he will get through this.” The 22-year-old top prospect made his big-league debut earlier this week, going 1-for-3 at the dish, after posting an .867 OPS with 16 homers across 63 games this season for Triple-A Buffalo. He can be dropped in all re-draft formats as his season is ostensibly over. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:23 am

    • Reds recall infielder Livan Soto on Sunday
      Reds recalled INF Livan Soto from Triple-A Louisville.

      Advice: Soto was claimed off waivers back in mid-April from the Orioles and will be making his Cincinnati debut when he gets into a contest. The 24-year-old infielder got into 22 games for the Angels from 2022 to 2023. He’s a non-factor for fantasy purposes, but represents a solid bench depth option in the big leagues.

    • Recalled to majors
      The Reds recalled Soto from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

      Advice: Soto has remained at Louisville since he was claimed off waivers from Baltimore in April, slashing .299/.393/.372 with 19 RBI across 191 plate appearances. He doesn't have a clear path to playing time in Cincinnati's infield, so he'll likely occupy the bench as a depth piece. Austin Wynns was designated for assignment in order to clear a spot on the active roster. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:08 am
       
    • Gets call-up from Triple-A
      The Yankees recalled Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

      Advice: Peraza will join the big club as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton, who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain. After opening the season on the IL with a shoulder injury sustained during spring training, Peraza joined the Yankees' Triple-A club on May 19 and had played there ever since, slashing .178/.313/.215 with one home run and four stolen bases in 128 plate appearances. Given that his production at Triple-A didn't necessarily warrant a call-up, Peraza is unlikely to serve as little more than a depth option for the Yankees while he's in the majors.

    • Yankees summon Oswald Peraza on Sunday
      Yankees recalled INF Oswald Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

      Advice: Peraza will be making his season debut for New York when he gets into a game after missing the first couple months of the year due to a shoulder strain that he suffered back in spring training. It’s easy to recall his struggles at the highest level over the last few years as he’s failed to carve out a permanent role for the Yankees, but he’s still just 24 years old. It’s too early to give up completely. Still, fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see approach for now to see if he finally puts it together. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:09 am
