  • Rays activate INF Walls from 60-day IL
    Rays activated INF Taylor Walls from the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Tampa Bay designated Harold Ramirez for assignment to make room for Walls, who has been on the injured list all season as he recovered from offseason hip surgery. Walls figures to come off the bench for the Rays and see most of his playing time against left-handed pitching. Rotoworld Today, 11:06 am

  • Activated from 60-day IL
    The Rays activated Walls (hip) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Walls has been out all season following offseason hip surgery and had his recovery delayed due to inflammation in the hip. However, he recently got back up to speed during a five-game rehab stint with Triple-A Durham, going 8-for-21 at the plate. Walls could take some playing time away from Jose Caballero at shortstop while working in a utility role. Rotowire.com Today, 11:00 am

  • Phillies acquire Kennedy, option him to Triple-A
    Phillies acquired INF Buddy Kennedy from the Tigers for cash considerations.

    Advice: Kennedy was traded one day after clearing waivers and being sent outright to Triple-A. Now he’ll be in Triple-A Lehigh Valley with the Phillies organization.

  • Traded to Phillies
    The Phillies acquired Kennedy from the Tigers on Friday in exchange for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Advice: The official transactions log on MLB.com had listed Kennedy as having been outrighted by the Tigers after clearing waivers, but that was erroneous and has since been deleted. Instead, he's headed to Lehigh Valley, where he will give the Phillies some infield depth. Kennedy has slashed .205/.294/.316 in 46 games over parts of three seasons in the majors.

  • Will serve as 27th man
    Baty will be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the 27th man during this weekend's series in London versus the Phillies, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Baty was optioned to Syracuse a week ago following a slow start but has gone 3-for-10 with two home runs in his first two games back in the minors. He will likely operate in a reserve role for the two games in London before being sent back down early next week. Baty also revealed that the plan is for him to get some game reps at second base when he goes back to Syracuse, per Puma. Rotowire.com Today, 6:24 am

  • Serves as DH on rehab assignment
    Perdomo started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with an RBI for Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

    Advice: Perdomo, who played seven innings at shortstop Wednesday, was in the lineup for a second straight day but got replaced by a pinch hitter after eight innings. Perdomo will continue his rehab assignment through the weekend for Reno and could rejoin the Diamondbacks next week. Arizona begins a homestand Tuesday against the Angels. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 am
