    • Ankle injury not considered serious
      Manager Oliver Marmol said Saturday that Edman (wrist) was able to field grounders again Friday without any problems with his sprained ankle, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Marmol added that Edman remains on track to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield or Triple-A Memphis sometime next week, barring any setbacks. The 29-year-old infielder has spent all season on the injured list, so an extended stint in the minors will likely be necessary, though it's still possible he'll be able to rejoin the big-league club before the All-Star break.

    • Idle Saturday
      Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: The switch-hitting Perdomo has posted just a .476 OPS against southpaws since being activated off the injured list June 11, so he'll get a day off against left-hander Hogan Harris. Kevin Newman will enter the lineup as Arizona's shortstop and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:08 am
       
    • Sitting against lefty Saturday
      Schneemann is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Schneemann will retreat to the dugout with the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the mound Saturday. Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:00 am
       
    • Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) nears rehab assignment
      Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) is expected to progress to a minor league rehab assignment at some point next week.

      Advice: Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol told reporters Edman fielded grounders on Friday without any ankle issues, and will progress to a rehab assignment with either Double-A Springfield or Triple-A Memphis in the coming days, assuming he gets through the rest of the weekend without a setback. The 29-year-old center fielder is working his way back from offseason wrist surgery and figures to be ready to return at some point in July. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:35 am

    • Idle vs. southpaw Saturday
      Horwitz is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Horwitz will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the Yankees sending southpaw Nestor Cortes to the mound. Horwitz went 1-for-4 in Friday's 16-5 loss to the Yankees, and for the season he's slashing .340/.484/.500 with two home runs and six RBI over 64 plate appearances. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at second base Saturday and bat second. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:33 am

    • Records fifth steal
      Schuemann went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Schuemann supplied a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and an RBI single in the eighth. The 27-year-old has gone 21 games without a multi-hit effort since his 4-for-4 performance in Atlanta on June 1. He was hitting .266 after that game, but he's at .226 now while adding a .630 OPS, three home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and five steals across 61 contests. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:07 pm

    • Idle Friday
      Gordon is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Philadelphia.

      Advice: Gordon will get a breather Friday after making six straight starts, collecting a hit in each contest. Bryan De La Cruz will play left field and lead off against the Phillies. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:28 pm

    • Productive in rout
      Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Yankees.

      Advice: The hit was a fluky one -- he squibbed a ball down the first-base line and it caromed off the bag and away from Ben Rice rather than rolling foul -- but Turner still put together a productive night in a 9-2 rout. The veteran slugger has found a groove at the plate, going 10-for-25 (.400) over the last eight games with a double, a homer, four RBI, seven runs and an 8:6 BB:K. Despite the surge, Turner's .715 OPS on the season would be his lowest mark since 2013. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:56 am

    • Out of Yankees lineup
      LeMahieu is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Toronto.

      Advice: LeMahieu is still without an extra-base hit this season and has tallied just one single across his last five games. Oswaldo Cabrera will occupy third base for the Yankees in their series opener versus the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com Thursday, 1:07 pm
