  • Getting breather
    Isbel is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Even with righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound for Los Angeles, Isbel will yield to Garrett Hampson in center field. Isbel had started in each of the Royals' past four games, going 4-for-13 with three runs scored. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Idle against southpaw
    Suwinski is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

  • Resumes playing field
    Drury (hamstring) played second base in a rehab game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: This was Drury's fourth rehab game, but he had served as the designated hitter in each of the previous three contests. The veteran infielder is working his way back from a left hamstring injury that has kept him from competing for the Angels since May 8. Drury has gone 5-for-13 with three walks and an RBI in his rehab stint thus far and appears very close to rejoining the big-league club. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

  • Royals recall Austin Nola from Triple-A Omaha
    Royals recalled C Austin Nola from Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: With Salvador Perez banged up, the Royals wanted to have some extra catching depth on hand for the remainder of their weekend series against the Dodgers. The 34-year-old backstop had been hitting just .100/.167/.167 with a homer, five RBI and a 15/4 K/BB ratio in 20 games at Triple-A Omaha. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Slugs key homer
    Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Friday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Suwinski went yard in the seventh inning to give the Pirates a couple insurance runs. It was his second home run in eight games since returning from Triple-A Indianapolis, though he's gone just 4-for-24 with a 48.4 percent strikeout rate in that span. Despite those struggles, Suwinski remains the primary center fielder and has started eight of Pittsburgh's last 10 games. Rotowire.com Today, 6:17 am
