  • Salvador Perez (knee) could return on Sunday
    Salvador Perez (knee) is not in the Royals’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s battle against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The star 34-year-old backstop was removed from Friday’s game due to discomfort in his right knee. He underwent an MRI exam on Saturday — the results of which were very favorable — and Perez is expected to return to the Royals’ lineup in a day or two. Austin Nola was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday to add depth behind the plate. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

  • Moving close to rehab stint
    Effross (back) has been throwing to live hitters for several weeks and is getting close to kicking off a minor-league rehab assignment, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Effross underwent Tommy John surgery in October of 2022 and then had back surgery last December. Yankees manager Aaron Boone recently stated that the righty reliever is responding well to his throwing sessions, and it appears that he could begin a rehab stint soon, though Boone didn't indicate an exact date. When Effross is ready to return to the big club, he'll strengthen a bullpen unit that currently ranks third in the majors in team ERA. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Pirates recall Jason Delay from Triple-A Indy
    Pirates recalled C Jason Delay from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: With Henry Davis (concussion) landing on the injured list on Saturday, Delay will return to share the catching duties with Yasmani Grandal for the immediate future. The 29-year-old has hit just .194/.265/.258 with zero homers, five RBI and a 12/2 K/BB ratio in 10 games at Triple-A Indianapolis this season. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Pirates place Henry Davis on 7-day concussion IL
    Pirates placed C/OF Henry Davis on the 7-day concussion injured list.

    Advice: The 24-year-old slugger suffered the injury during Friday night’s contest against the Rockies. Even after the mandatory seven days on the injured list, he’ll still need to pass through the concussion protocol before he’s able to return. Jason Delay was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move on Saturday. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

  • Could be back Sunday
    Perez has a right knee sprain but is expected to be back in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers or Tuesday against Oakland, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

    Advice: An MRI revealed Perez is dealing with just a minor sprain and some inflammation in his right knee, which is encouraging news after he was pulled from Friday's game against Los Angeles. While Perez is expected to be back in the lineup as soon as Sunday, it's possible he'll DH for a few games to get his knee back to full strength, especially after the Royals called up Austin Nola on Saturday.

  • Alek Thomas moving rehab to Triple-A on Monday
    Alek Thomas (hamstring) will have his minor league rehab assignment shifted to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

    Advice: The 24-year-old outfielder has been playing games in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League over the weekend, so he’ll step up the competition level for a few games at Triple-A before he’s cleared to return to the Diamondbacks’ outfield. If all goes according to plan, he should return before the end of next week. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago

  • Has Grade 2 hamstring strain
    Harris has a Grade 2 left hamstring strain and there isn't a timetable for return, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports Saturday.

    Advice: Harris was placed on the 10-day IL earlier Saturday after sustaining a strained hamstring in Friday's game against the Rays. However, an MRI revealed that Harris' strain is Grade 2, which likely indicates he'll be sidelined for more than the minimum 10 days. Ramon Laureano was called up to take Harris' 26-man roster spot, though J.P. Martinez should handle most of the work in center field. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Jorge Polanco (hamstring) begins rehab assignment
    Jorge Polanco (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at High-A Everett on Saturday.

    Advice: The 30-year-old second baseman is only expected to need a couple of games to get his timing back before he’s cleared to return to the Mariners’ lineup. Expect him back early next week, which will severely impact the playing time for Ryan Bliss, who has been filling in at second base over the past few weeks. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
