  • Sent on rehab assignment
    Perez (groin) will pitch for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, 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 3 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 3 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 15 minutes ago

  • 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 59 minutes ago
     
  • Released by Miami
    The Marlins released Smith on Thursday.

    Advice: Smith predictably cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now free to sign on with a new organization. The right-hander posted a 4.25 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 29.2 innings for the Marlins. Rotowire.com Today, 10:25 am
     
  • Four hits in loss
    Bailey went 4-for-5 in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Bailey is 14-for-37 (.378) over his last 10 games, and the lone contest in that span in which he failed to log a hit was one where he appeared off the bench. While the catcher is making consistent contact, it hasn't been particularly powerful -- he has just two extra-base hits in that span. Overall, he's at a .299/.367/.439 slash line with five homers, two stolen bases, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and eight doubles through 50 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
     
  • Cardinals option Adam Kloffenstein Friday
    Cardinals optioned RHP Adam Kloffenstein to Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Kloffenstein was the corresponding move for the activation of Giovanny Gallegos from the injured list. The 23-year-old right-hander will return to the minors after tossing a scoreless inning in his first major league appearance on Thursday. Rotoworld Today, 10:18 am
     
  • Cardinals activated RHP Giovanny Gallegos from IL
    Cardinals activated RHP Giovanny Gallegos from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Gallegos has been out since early May with shoulder trouble. He’s been a steady reliever for St. Louis over the last few seasons and sometimes even an option for saves. Gallegos has recorded at least 10 saves in each of the last three years, though that’s unlikely to continue this season. He has a 12.00 ERA and SO:BB of 13:7 in 13 appearances with the Cardinals this year. Rotoworld Today, 10:14 am
     
  • Returns to Triple-A
    The Cardinals optioned Scott to Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: The 23-year-old was called up to serve as the 27th man for Thursday's game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, and he'll head back to Memphis after appearing as a defensive replacement. Scott has a .550 OPS in 45 games at Triple-A since being demoted in late April. Rotowire.com Today, 10:09 am
