  • Idle again
    Loftin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Loftin will be out of the starting lineup for a second straight day, giving way to Adam Frazier at second base. Loftin had started in six of the Royals' previous seven games, but they'll opt for the lefty-hitting Frazier on Friday. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Brewers optioned Ashby to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Advice: The Brewers are down multiple starters due to injury, so this move seems to reflect their lack of faith in Ashby right now. The left-hander made a start Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing just two runs but walking five over five innings. He will join the rotation at Nashville. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Idle against O's
    Lowe isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Lowe has generated a hit in four straight games but will take a seat with lefty-throwing Cole Irvin on the mound for the Orioles. Jose Caballero will play second base and Taylor Walls will play shortstop. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Set to start Saturday
    Peralta is scheduled to start Saturday against the Tigers, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

    Advice: The right-hander initially lined up to start Friday's series opener, but Tobias Myers will instead take the ball for Milwaukee. Peralta has given up at least one homer in each of his past four starts, though he's still been effective in those past three outings with a 2.55 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB across 17.2 innings.

  • Back in big leagues
    The White Sox recalled Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Cannon is absorbing the roster spot vacated by Jake Woodford and also seems likely to take Woodford's spot in the White Sox' rotation. The rookie right-hander has posted a 7.24 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings covering three starts at the major-league level this season. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Lowe will get a day off with lefty Cole Irvin on the mound. Randy Arozarena, Jose Siri and Jonny DeLuca fill the outfield from left to right Friday. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

  • Designated for assignment
    The White Sox designated Woodford for assignment Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: The move comes one day after Woodford was torched for seven runs on 10 hits and three walks over four innings in a loss to the Red Sox. He's being replaced on the roster by Jonathan Cannon, who will also likely take Woodford's spot in the rotation. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Juan Soto (forearm) will be OK, per Heyman
    Initial doctor reports suggests Yankees OF Juan Soto will be OK, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

    Advice: The initial prognosis is inflammation for Soto. While his timetable to return to the field is still unclear, this is certainly a relief as it appears the Yankees have avoided the worst case scenario with their star outfielder. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

  • Initial imaging shows inflammation
    Soto received a preliminary diagnosis of left forearm inflammation after undergoing medical imaging Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. He's out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The 25-year-old was removed from Thursday's contest with left forearm discomfort, which he apparently has dealt with throughout the past week. Soto will sit at least one game and his outlook for the immediate future remains a bit murky for now, but the initial reports are an encouraging development and indicate he may have avoided a serious injury.
