  • Back in big leagues
    The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

    Advice: Fermin is just 3-for-15 during his brief time in the majors this season but boasts a 1.076 OPS with six homers and 10 steals at Memphis. He could see some starts at second base against tougher lefties. Rotowire.com Today, 9:13 am
     
  • White Sox recall INF Sosa from Triple-A
    White Sox recalled INF Lenyn Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte, according to Sox Machine’s James Fegan.

    Advice: Sosa is the corresponding move with Bryan Ramos optioned to Triple-A. He’s hitting .284 with six home runs in 16 games at Triple-A. Sosa figures to see time at third base for Chicago. Rotoworld Today, 8:34 am
     
  • Logs 20th steal
    Caballero went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts, two runs scored and a stolen base Thursday against the Athletics.

    Advice: This line is indicative of Caballero's skill set, as he's striking out at a 29.3 percent clip and has just a .306 on-base percentage. However, he has already racked up 20 stolen bases, only the second player to hit that mark at this point in the campaign. Caballero's playing time could be in danger upon the return of Taylor Walls (hip), but for now, he fills a key role for both the Rays and fantasy managers. Rotowire.com Today, 7:34 am
     
  • Smacks 10th homer
    Paredes went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Thursday against the Athletics.

    Advice: Paredes tallied his 10th homer of the season and third in May, and he's hitting .301 with 15 RBI and 10 runs scored across 24 contests on the month. Paredes remains locked into either the third or fourth spot in the Rays' order, giving him plenty of opportunities to rack up counting stats. Rotowire.com Today, 7:30 am
     
  • Records fifth steal in loss
    Gelof went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in an extra-innings loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Gelof snapped an 0-for-18 slump with a single, while his steal was his fifth of the season but first since April 21. Last season's encouraging rookie campaign is increasingly in the rearview mirror for Gelof, who's now sitting on a .176 batting average and .512 OPS across 162 plate appearances. A significant season-over-season increase in strikeout rate (27.3 percent to 34.6 percent) and a notable decrease in line-drive rate (25.5 percent to 16.5 percent) have contributed to a steep drop in his BABIP (.331 to .258).

  • Continues surge Thursday
    Toro went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run in an extra-innings loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Toro wreaked havoc during the 12-inning contest, putting together his third multi-hit effort in the last four games. The 27-year-old also ripped a two-bagger for the second straight game, and his clutch RBI single in the 10th snapped a 4-4 tie at the time. Toro has found a home in the leadoff spot, logging a .277 batting average, 11 extra-base hits, three steals and 19 runs in 156 plate appearances from the top of the order.

  • Swipes fourth bag
    Albies went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Nationals.

    Advice: Atlanta's offense remains in a funk, managing only five hits and one run Thursday, but Albies has been one of the few consistent bright spots in the lineup of late. The second baseman's hit safely in six straight games, and since May 13 he's slashing .313/.375/.391. Albies still isn't providing much power -- he hasn't homered in 19 straight games and has only three long balls on the year -- but he has contributed four steals, 25 runs and 25 RBI through 46 contests.

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The White Sox recalled Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: It's the corresponding move for the demotion of Bryan Ramos, who was optioned Thursday. Sosa has struggled mightily during his time in the majors over the last three seasons, slashing just .177/.200/.304 in 75 games. Theoretically, there is playing time available on the White Sox infield, but there's no indication that Sosa will see much of it. Rotowire.com Today, 6:13 am
     
  • Walls goes 2-for-6 in Triple-A rehab game
    Taylor Walls (hip) went 2-for-6 for Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

    Advice: Walls played all nine innings in his first rehab game with Triple-A. He’s spent the entire season so far on the injured list as he recovers from hip surgery. He’ll need at least a few more games in Triple-A before the Rays consider bringing him to Tampa Bay. Rotoworld Today, 5:48 am
