  • Wenceel Perez swipes base in win over Astros
    Wenceel Perez doubled, walked, stole a base and scored a run as the Tigers triumphed over the Astros on Saturday evening in Motown.

    Advice: Perez drew a walk off of Cristian Javier in the opening inning and swiped second base, but the Tigers couldn’t cash him in from there. He then smacked a double off of Javier in the second and rode home on the first of Kerry Carpenter’s home runs on the night. The 24-year-old outfielder finished the night 1-for-4 and is now hitting .282/.363/.493 with three homers, eight RBI and three stolen bases in his first 23 games of big league action.

  • Sits against lefty
    Massey is not in Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

    Advice: He'll sit against lefty Tyler Anderson, with Garrett Hampson getting the nod at the keystone. Massey is hitting .273 with two home runs and two doubles in nine games this month. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:35 pm
     
  • Davis Schneider homers, picks up three hits vs. MIN
    Davis Schneider went 3-for-4 with a homer, three runs scored and two RBI in a win over the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Schneider once again hit in the leadoff spot, and he looked comfortable doing it. The 25-year-old also stole his second base of the season, while the homer is the fourth of the season. George Springer (illness) did appear late in the game as a pinch-hitter, but considering how good Schneider has been and Springer, well, hasn’t, there’s a chance that Schneider remains at the top of the lineup for the foreseeable future.

  • Back in majors

Wisely primarily played second base and center field at Triple-A while also picking up a couple starts at shortstop.

  • Giants recall Brett Wisely on Saturday
    Giants recalled INF/OF Brett Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: Wisely provides San Francisco with some extra bench depth heading into Saturday’s contest against the Reds with veteran Austin Slater landing on the concussion injured list. The 25-year-old got into 51 contests last year for the Giants, but has spent all of this season back at Triple-A Sacramento. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:56 am
     
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    Williams was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Saturday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Ke'Bryan Hayes was placed on the injured list with a back issue, so Williams could see some reps in the infield in the short term. Williams was optioned Friday and never actually got into a Triple-A game. He has a .239/.271/.348 slash line with zero home runs and one steal in 51 plate appearances in the majors.

  • Takes batting practice Saturday
    LeMahieu (foot) participated in batting practice Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu traveled with the team to Tampa Bay and hit off JT Brubaker on Saturday. LeMahieu continues to ramp up his activities as he works his way back from the non-displaced right foot fracture he sustained in spring training. The veteran infielder could be close to starting a rehab assignment, barring any setbacks. LeMahieu made a rehab appearance April 23 with Double-A Somerset, but he was pulled from the game after the first inning due to swelling in his right foot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:07 am
