    • Absent from lineup Sunday
      Sosa is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Tigers.

      Advice: Sosa will get his first breather Sunday since June 13. In the eight games since, he's gone 7-for-30 with two doubles, one home run and four RBI. Danny Mendick will start at third base Sunday and bat eighth against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:10 am

    • Struggling on rehab assignment
      The Reds haven't yet committed to activating Marte (suspension) when he's first eligible to return to the big club June 27, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: Reds manager David Bell professes not to be paying attention to Marte's numbers during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville as he continues the ramp-up process. Through the first 10 games of his assignment, Marte is hitting .156/.156/.178 with no walks and 13 strikeouts. If Marte can get back up to speed, the Reds could really use him both offensively and defensively at third base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:52 am

    • Sitting Sunday
      Malloy is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.

      Advice: Malloy will take a breather Sunday after starting in the first two games of the series, going 1-for-6 with a double and one run scored. Riley Greene will serve as the designated hitter Sunday while Akil Baddoo starts in left field against White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:26 am
       
    • Not starting Sunday
      Arenado (forearm) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

      Advice: Arenado exited early in Saturday's 9-4 win due to discomfort in his left forearm. According to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, Arenado received an injection to alleviate the pain, and the Cardinals still waiting to see how the veteran third baseman responds to the shot before determining his availability for their upcoming three-game set with Atlanta that begins Monday. Brandon Crawford will pick up a start at the hot corner Sunday and bat eighth while Arenado rests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:14 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.

    • Nolan Arenado out Sunday with forearm discomfort
      Nolan Arenado (forearm) is absent from the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Giants.

      Advice: Arenado has gotten banged up physically over the last few days as he’s been dealing with a right elbow issue stemming from a hit by pitch earlier this week and also left Saturday’s game early with left forearm discomfort. The fact that he hasn’t been put on the injured list is a positive indicator that he’s still day-to-day for now. The 33-year-old received a pain-reducing injection on Sunday morning and is hoping to be available to pinch-hit, if needed. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:25 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

    • Back at third base for now
      Smith started at third base and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over Kansas City.

      Advice: Smith made a second consecutive start in the field after serving as a designated hitter for a pair of games. He had been dealing with a hamstring injury that forced him to miss four games before returning as the DH. Now that he's back in the field, the question becomes how long he will be there. Third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) rejoined the team Friday and will take live batting practice Tuesday. If all goes well, Jung could be activated off the 60-day injured list afterward. The Rangers would like to keep Smith's bat in the lineup; he's batting .304/.393/.469 over a career-high 259 plate appearances. The lefty hitter could serve as the primary DH; he owns an .857 OPS against lefties and an .863 OPS against righties this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:36 am
