  • Getting day off
    Marsh is absent from the starting lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Marsh has started five straight games since being activated from the IL, but he'll get a breather Friday. Instead, Cristian Pache will start in center field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Set for first MLB stint
    The Guardians recalled Martinez from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

    Advice: Martinez will get his first taste of big-league action, stepping onto the 26-man roster with Gabriel Arias tending to personal matters. The 22-year-old slashed .333/.438/.550 with three homers and a 12.1 percent K rate in 17 games at Columbus. He's likely to provide depth at shortstop, second base and third base while up with the Guardians. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Sent on rehab assignment
    Perez (groin) will pitch for Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Perez has been steadily progressing since being placed on the IL in late May with a strained left groin, and he will take what's likely the last step of his recovery by starting a rehab assignment. The southpaw will likely require multiple appearances at Indianapolis before being cleared to rejoin the Pirates. Prior to the injury, Perez held a 4.71 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP across 57.1 innings with Pittsburgh. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Taking seat Friday
    Benintendi is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Detroit.

    Advice: The White Sox have mixed in extra days off for Benintendi since he returned from an Achilles injury, as this is the third time in eight contests that he's been out of the lineup. Tommy Pham will play left field Friday and Gavin Sheets will be in right. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Idle Friday
    McKinstry is not part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: After starting four of the Tigers' last five games at shortstop, McKinstry will yield to Ryan Kreidler on Friday. McKinstry has two hits in his last 23 at-bats and has struck out nine times during that span. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

  • Jesus Luzardo (back) won’t start Saturday
    Jesus Luzardo (back) won’t start for the Marlins on Saturday, according to Daniel Alvarez-Montes.

    Advice: Luzardo has dealt with back stiffness and will miss his scheduled start on Saturday. It’s yet to be determined if Luzardo is just having his start pushed back or if he’ll require a stint on the injured list. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Missing Saturday's start
    Luzardo (back) won't start Saturday's game against the Mariners, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Advice: Luzardo experienced back tightness in his last start and was pulled after 77 pitches and showed decreased velocity. While the Marlins initially listed Luzardo as their probable pitcher Saturday, they'll refrain from putting the 26-year-old lefty on the mound against Seattle and give him some extra rest. Miami could possibly push Luzardo's start back a day, with Braxton Garrett filling in Saturday, but it's more likely Luzardo won't pitch until his next turn in the rotation.

  • Claimed by Mets
    The Mets claimed Ellis off waivers from the White Sox on Friday and optioned him to Double-A Binghamton, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Ellis got a cup of coffee with the White Sox this season and has slashed just .258/.341/.308 at the Double-A level, which is especially underwhelming when you consider his age (26). He's fast and can play defense, though, which was enough to pique the Mets' interest. Rotowire.com Today, 10:52 am
