  • Resumes playing field
    Drury (hamstring) played second base in a rehab game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: This was Drury's fourth rehab game, but he had served as the designated hitter in each of the previous three contests. The veteran infielder is working his way back from a left hamstring injury that has kept him from competing for the Angels since May 8. Drury has gone 5-for-13 with three walks and an RBI in his rehab stint thus far and appears very close to rejoining the big-league club. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Oneil Cruz (ankle) remains out of Pirates’ lineup
    Oneil Cruz (ankle) remains out of the Pirates’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s showdown against the Rockies.

    Advice: It’s the second straight game that the dynamic 25-year-old shortstop has missed at Coors Field due to a sore ankle. The encouraging sign is that is still hasn’t been placed on the injured list, so the Pirates still believe that it’s truly a day-to-day type of situation. Jared Triolo will once again start in his place and will bat eighth against Rockies’ southpaw Ty Blach. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting against LHP
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

    Advice: Tellez will dodge a matchup with southpaw Ty Blach on Saturday, yielding to Connor Joe at first base. After a slow start to 2024, Tellez has come to life in June, hitting .385 with three extra-base hits and seven RBI in nine games played. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Idle Saturday
    Cruz (ankle) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

    Advice: Cruz was a late scratch from Friday's lineup with left ankle soreness and will take a seat once again Saturday. Jared Triolo will draw another start at shortstop and bat eighth for the Pirates. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • On bench Saturday
    Perez (knee) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Perez was pulled from Friday's game with right knee discomfort and will be held out of the lineup Saturday, giving way to Freddy Fermin behind the dish. While it's unclear how severe Perez's injury is, the Royals felt the need to call up catcher Austin Nola from Triple-A Omaha, indicating Perez could miss multiple games. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

  • Royals option Anthony Veneziano back to Triple-A
    Royals optioned LHP Anthony Veneziano to Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: The 26-year-old southpaw was just brought up on Thursday, but he’ll head back to Triple-A on Saturday to make room on the active roster for Austin Nola. Veneziano has posted a 4.50 ERA, 2.50 WHIP and a 2/1 K/BB ratio over two innings in his time with the Royals this season. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Royals recall Austin Nola from Triple-A Omaha
    Royals recalled C Austin Nola from Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: With Salvador Perez banged up, the Royals wanted to have some extra catching depth on hand for the remainder of their weekend series against the Dodgers. The 34-year-old backstop had been hitting just .100/.167/.167 with a homer, five RBI and a 15/4 K/BB ratio in 20 games at Triple-A Omaha. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
