  • Tallies three hits
    Perez went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Perez matched a season high with three hits, plating a run with his seventh-inning double and later scoring the go-ahead run in the 10th. He had entered the game in a 3-for-28 skid over his last seven starts prior to his outburst Sunday. The 24-year-old rookie outfielder has now accumulated 14 extra-base hits, including six doubles, five triples and three homers while driving in 15 runs, scoring 22 and swiping four bags over 152 plate appearances.

  • Clubs third home run
    Caballero went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Orioles.

    Advice: Caballero belted the first pitch of the seventh inning over the left-field wall for his third homer of the year. It was also his second hit of the day, representing his ninth multi-hit game in 54 games this season. The performance raised Caballero's average to .260 with three homers, 18 RBI, 27 runs and 20 steals in 28 attempts. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:32 pm
     
  • Wenceel Pérez collects three hits in Tigers’ win
    Wenceel Pérez finished 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored Sunday as the Tigers topped the Red Sox 8-4 in 10 innings.

    Advice: The second run came as the automatic runner in the 10th. Each time it’s looked like Pérez’s hot start to his big-league career might be coming to a conclusion, he bounces back with something like this. The 24-year-old had gone 6-for-40 with one RBI in his previous 10 games. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:07 pm

  • José Caballero goes 2-for-3, homers in Rays’ win
    José Caballero went 2-for-3 with a homer Sunday as the Rays edged the Orioles 4-3.

    Advice: Caballero has been a strikeout machine of late, but he managed to go without one for just the second time in 18 games today. He’s batting .260/.318/.370 on the season, but it just doesn’t seem likely that he’ll keep his average up like this with how often he fails to make contact. He currently has a .367 BABIP in spite of some of the weakest exit velocity numbers in the game. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:47 pm
     
  • Zack Gelof homers in loss
    Zack Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Braves on Sunday.

    Advice: It’s been a season to forget so far for Gelof as injuries and poor play have dulled the shine of his tremendous rookie season. The home run was his fourth in 42 games and he has five stolen bases too, but an ugly 33.9 K% entering play on Sunday has held him back so far. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:25 pm

  • Ildemaro Vargas with two hits, stolen base
    Ildemaro Vargas went 2-for-3 scoring a run, driving one in, and stealing a base Sunday in a win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Vargas drew his second straight spot-start after CJ Abrams tweaked his shoulder on Friday and had a great all-around game. It’s unlikely his role grows unless Abrams needs a spell on the IL. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:09 pm

  • Red Sox place Romy Gonzalez (hamstring) on IL
    Red Sox placed INF Romy Gonzalez on the 15-day injured list with a hamstrings train.

    Advice: Gonzalez will sit out the next week-plus while recovering. The Red Sox selected the contract of Jamie Westbrook from Triple-A Worcester to take Gonzalez’s place on the roster. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:23 am

  • Lands on IL with hamstring strain
    The Red Sox placed Gonzalez on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Gonzalez was one of two Boston infielders to hit the shelf Sunday with a hamstring injury, as Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) was also deactivated. The lefty-hitting Enmanuel Valdez is expected to occupy the strong side of a platoon at second base while Grissom is on the IL, but Gonzalez might have been the preferred option at the keystone against left-handed pitching had he not strained his hamstring. Jamie Westbrook -- whose contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday -- now profiles as a likely platoon mate for Valdez at second base. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:21 am

  • Rehabbing in ACL
    Perdomo (knee) started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in a rehab game for the Diamondbacks' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate Saturday.

    Advice: Perdomo, who played five innings in the field, made his second ACL appearance after getting four at-bats Friday as the designated hitter. The organization's plan calls for Perdomo to finish out the weekend in the ACL before moving on to a higher-level affiliate. A return from the 10-day injured list later in the week is a possibility.
