  • Logan O’Hoppe goes yard in win over Giants
    Logan O’Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer to lead the Angels to a 4-3 win over the Giants on Saturday.

    Advice: O’Hoppe knocked a base hit in the fourth inning, then took Keaton Winn deep for a two-run shot in the sixth to tie the game. The 24-year-old backstop is having a stellar season, slashing .284/.335/.476 with nine homers and 31 RBI across 225 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:54 pm
  • Joining 26-man roster
    The Royals recalled Nola from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

    Advice: With Salvador Perez battling a knee injury, Nola will join the big-league roster to provide catching depth behind Freddy Fermin. While it's unclear how long Perez will be sidelined, Nola should be in the mix to make his 2024 MLB debut in the coming days. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:38 pm
  • 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.

  • 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 Yesterday, 3:14 pm
  • On bench Saturday
    Smith is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Smith will give way to Austin Barnes behind the dish for the second time in three days, with Barnes batting ninth Saturday. In 256 plate appearances, Smith owns a .848 OPS with 10 homers and a 16.0 percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:07 pm
  • Aiming for return in late June
    Contreras (forearm) is targeting a return in late June, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

    Advice: Contreras has resumed taking batting practice and hopes to be cleared to begin a rehab assignment early next week. If that happens, a return sometime during the Cardinals' June 22-30 homestand is likely. It would be at least a couple weeks quicker than he was initially expected back following surgery in early May to repair a fractured forearm. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:04 am
  • More BP, then games
    Contreras (forearm) came out of his Friday's batting practice session with no issues and will repeat the step for the next few days, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It was the first time Contreras had taken BP since he had surgery on his fractured left forearm in early May. The hope is that he will be ready for a rehab assignment after a few days of batting practice, but he will need to gain medical clearance first. Contreras is tracking toward an earlier-than-expected return, but there's no target date just yet. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:45 am
  • Joining team in Colorado
    Delay is headed to Colorado to join the Pirates, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Henry Davis had to exit Friday's game with concussion-like symptoms, and while nothing has been determined yet regarding his roster status, Delay will be around in case he's needed. Delay was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis earlier this month after completing a rehab assignment following knee surgery. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:57 am
  • Salvador Perez exits Friday with knee discomfort
    Salvador Perez was removed from Friday’s game against the Dodgers with right knee discomfort.

    Advice: Perez exited Friday’s contest in the eighth inning and told reporters afterwards that he felt a tweak in his right knee earlier in the game when he stood up quickly to catch a high fastball from Royals ace Cole Ragans. The 34-year-old ironman will presumably head for some additional testing and imaging to determine the severity of the issue if he’s not feeling better this weekend. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:57 am
