    • Washington: José Soriano unlikely to need IL stint
      José Soriano is dealing with an infection.

      Advice: Angels manager Ron Washington elaborated Tuesday that there’s no concern that Soriano will require a trip to the injured list, but likely won’t take the ball until next week. The 25-year-old was scratched from Monday’s start against the Brewers due to abdominal pain. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 3:40 pm
       
    • Resting Tuesday
      Perkins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels.

      Advice: Perkins has gone just 1-for-16 with six strikeouts across his last five games, and he'll now get a day to regroup Tuesday. His absence will put Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio in the outfield while William Contreras (head) serves as the designated hitter, allowing Gary Sanchez to start at catcher.

    • Dealing with back injury
      Kirilloff's option to Triple-A St. Paul was rescinded Tuesday, as the Twins placed him on the 10-day injured list due to back soreness and nerve issues, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The demotion was initially reported after Wednesday's win against the Rockies, but Kirilloff is instead back with the big club as the injury is evaluated. The 26-year-old underwent an MRI in late May, but he apparently didn't communicate how troublesome the injury had become as he attempted to play through it. It's unclear how long Kirilloff is expected to be sidelined, but the Twins could plan out a lengthy rehab assignment given his .654 OPS and career-worst 26.4 percent strikeout rate this year.

    • Dealing with infection
      Soriano (abdomen) is dealing with an infection according to manager Ron Washington, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Soriano had his turn in the rotation skipped Monday due to abdominal pain and he's expected to be skipped again as he nurses an infection. In regards to a timeline for his return, manager Ron Washington said Tuesday that there's not a concern that Soriano will need to be placed on the injured list, so he'll likely be back before the end of June.

    • Takes BP on Monday
      Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Clemens (back) is "getting pretty close" to a return from the 10-day injured list after taking batting practice Monday, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Clemens has been on the shelf since June 3, one day after being scratched from the lineup ahead of the Phillies' game against the Cardinals after his bat locked up on him during batting practice. He could go out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated from the IL. Rotowire.com Today, 3:18 pm

    • Yankees transfer Clarke Schmidt to 60-day IL
      Yankees transferred RHP Clarke Schmidt to the 60-dau injured list.

      Advice: Nothing has changed regarding Schmidt’s return timetable as the procedural move merely opens up a spot on New York’s 40-man roster. The 28-year-old righty has been on the shelf since late May recovering from a right lat strain and is first-eligible to return on July 26. Rotoworld Today, 3:16 pm
       
    • Moves to 60-day IL
      The Yankees transferred Schmidt (lat) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

      Advice: The Yankees announced Schmidt would be shut down from throwing for 4-to-6 weeks once they placed him on the IL on May 30, so his move to the 60-day IL hardly comes as a surprise. He will be eligible for activation from the injured list July 26, but a better idea of his return timeline will have to wait until he's been cleared to throw again.

    • Back soreness surfaces
      Matz experienced soreness following Sunday's rehab start and will receive a second opinion on his lower-back strain in the next few days, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

      Advice: The left-hander initially suffered the injury during his start in Detroit on April 30. Prior to the aggravation, he was closing in on his return to the Cardinals, as Sunday was his third rehab start. It's unclear how much longer Matz will be sidelined, but there should be more clarity once he's further evaluated. Rotowire.com Today, 3:13 pm
       
    • Steven Matz (back) heading for second opinion
      Steven Matz will receive a second opinion on his back later this week.

      Advice: It certainly qualifies as a setback as Matz was lifted from his latest rehab outing over the weekend with renewed back soreness. The 33-year-old southpaw has been on the shelf since late April with a back strain and appeared to be close to returning to the Cardinals’ starting rotation mix. There should be some clarity on his status at some point in the coming days, but he’s probably not going to be back anytime soon. Rotoworld Today, 2:31 pm
