  • Battling back soreness
    Marte was scratched from Arizona's lineup Saturday due to lower-back soreness, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

    Advice: Marte appeared to tweak something in his back during Friday's contest, and he'll sit down Saturday as a precaution. He is available off the bench, however, so his injury likely isn't a major issue. Blaze Alexander will start at second base and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:43 pm
     
  • Dealing with knee soreness
    Keith was removed from Saturday's game against Milwaukee with left knee discomfort, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Keith and Akil Baddoo collided in right field while running at full speed, but Keith took the brunt of it and was removed from the contest during the third inning. Considering Keith was able to walk off the field without any assistance, it seems like he avoided a major injury. Still, the Tigers will likely continue to evaluate him throughout Saturday evening. Detroit will finish its three-game series against the Brewers on Sunday ahead of a team off day. Rotowire.com Today, 2:41 pm

  • Sent down to Salt Lake

    Advice: Paris was called up May 9 to assist in the Angels' infield after Brandon Drury (hamstring) was placed on the injured list. Paris struggled in 58 plate appearances, batting .118 with a 29.3 percent strikeout rate and will hand his spot on the active roster to Michael Stefanic. Rotowire.com Today, 2:36 pm

  • Called up by Halos
    Stefanic was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    Advice: Stefanic spent the first two months of the season on the injured list with a strained left quad but was activated in late May and assigned to Triple-A. At Salt Lake, he slashed .333/.431/.426 in 54 plate appearances and will now replace Kyren Paris on the Angels' active roster. Stefanic should mix in at second base until Brandon Drury (hamstring) returns from the IL. Rotowire.com Today, 2:30 pm
     
  • Angels recall Michael Stefanic from Triple-A
    Angels recalled INF Michael Stefanic from Triple-A Salt Lake.

    Advice: Stefanic, 28, has excelled in 19 minor league games so far this season, hitting .334/.440/.426 with zero homers, 13 RBI, one stolen base and a 5/12 K/BB ratio over 76 plate appearances. A better real-life player than a fantasy asset, Stefanic will replace Kyren Paris as the Angels’ primary reserve infielder. Rotoworld Today, 2:28 pm
     
  • Angels option Kyren Paris to Triple-A Salt Lake
    Angels optioned INF Kyren Paris to Triple-A Salt Lake.

    Advice: The 22-year-old infielder has been absolutely atrocious in 59 plate appearances for the Angels this season — hitting .118/.224/.216 with one homer, five RBI and a 17/7 K/BB ratio. He’ll return to an everyday role at the Triple-A level until he’s needed once more. Michael Stefanic was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move on Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 2:25 pm

  • Removed from game after collision
    Keith was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers in the third inning after colliding with Akil Baddoo while tracking down a flyball, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Keith was running full speed toward the foul line in right field and collided with Akil Baddoo as the ball dropped. The second baseman looked to be grabbing at his left leg before walking back to the dugout unassisted. Zach McKinstry replaced Keith at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 2:09 pm

  • Colt Keith leaves game after collision in outfield
    Colt Keith was removed from Saturday’s battle against the Brewers after he collided with teammate Akil Baddoo in shallow right field.

    Advice: It’s not immediately clear where he took the brunt of the full-speed collision, but he was obviously shaken up afterwards. The good news, is that he was able to walk off the field under his own power. Expect him to head for further evaluation — and perhaps a trip through the concussion protocol. The Tigers should have an update on his status after the game. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm

  • Scratched from lineup
    Marte (undisclosed) was scratched from Arizona's lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Padres.

    Advice: The Diamondbacks have not yet provided a reason for Marte's removal from the lineup, but they should offer some clarity relatively soon. Blaze Alexander will enter as the replacement second baseman while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:27 pm
