  • Jung Hoo Lee to undergo shoulder surgery next week
    Jung Hoo Lee will undergo shoulder surgery on Tuesday.

    Advice: Lee will undergo the season-ending procedure early next week in Los Angeles with Dr. Neal ElAttrache. The 25-year-old center fielder suffered structural damage in his shoulder back in mid-May when he collided with the center-field wall at Oracle Park. He’s expected to be ready to roll by the start of spring training, but is facing a lengthy rehabilitation process. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes fourth bag
    Lee went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Friday against the White Sox.

    Advice: Lee extended his hitting streak to a modest four games, though he now has both a home run and a steal in that span. He's maintained a solid .273 average and .728 OPS across 127 plate appearances for the season. While he continues to split time with Martin Maldonado behind the plate, Lee has notably started the last two games at DH, giving him starts in 10 of the team's last 13 games.

  • Evaluation coming next week
    Muller (shoulder) is slated to be evaluated by team doctors next week, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Muller was scratched from his start Thursday and subsequently placed on the injured list due to left shoulder tendinitis, and he's been shut down from throwing for the time being. Team doctors will take a closer look in the coming days at how the rest might be aiding his progress, and a determination of when Muller might be able to begin a throwing program will be made at that point.

  • Nabs third win Friday
    Stanek (3-0) got the win over the Angels on Friday, firing a perfect eighth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

    Advice: Stanek came into the game tasked with preserving a newly minted 4-4 tie and quickly retired Luis Rengifo, Mickey Moniak and Taylor Ward -- the latter two on swinging strikeouts. The veteran right-hander then became the pitcher of record when Ty France slugged a go-ahead home run in the home half of the frame. Stanek now has four consecutive two-strikeout, one-inning appearances, and he's posted a 2-0 record with a 2.70 ERA, 0.45 WHIP, one save and two holds in his last seven outings overall.

  • Day off Saturday
    Refsnyder will sit Saturday versus the Tigers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Refsnyder will get a breather after going 2-for-8 with a double and an RBI over the first two contests of the series, while he extended his hitting streak to five games in a row Friday. Enmanuel Valdez will replace him at designated hitter and bat fifth against Detroit. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Breather Saturday
    Wong is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Tigers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Wong will take a seat after going 2-for-6 with a double and a run scored over the first two games of the series with Detroit. Reese McGuire will draw the start behind the plate and bat seventh against the Tigers. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Plates pair in Friday's win
    Raleigh went 1-for-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a run-scoring single in a win over the Angels on Friday.

    Advice: Raleigh's timely hitting would prove to be essential in a one-run victory, with the backstop bringing home the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the opening frame before delivering a fifth-inning knock to plate J.P. Crawford and extend the Mariners' lead to 4-0 at the time. Raleigh had been mired in a 1-for-17 funk over the previous six games, however, and he's recorded just a sole extra-base hit over the 43 plate appearances spanning his last 12 games after lacing 14 over his first 41 contests of the campaign.

  • Two extra-base hits
    DeJong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Friday against the Brewers.

    Advice: DeJong led off the third inning with a solo home run, his eighth long ball of the season and first since May 20. In the 10 games since, he's hit just .182 with a 35.1 percent strikeout rate. Nevertheless, DeJong is locked into a near everyday role at shortstop and has maintained .202 ISO with a 103 wRC+ across 176 plate appearances on the campaign. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
     
  • Recalled to majors
    The Marlins recalled Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Advice: Pereda has slashed .275/.398/.406 across 83 plate appearances in the minors this season, and he will now come up from Triple-A to give the Marlins additional depth behind the plate while Christian Bethancourt (bereavement) is out. Pereda went 0-for-5 in three games during his first stint in the majors in April. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
