  • 56-48-6 5th Place
    • Sent on rehab assignment
      Perez (groin) will pitch for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

      Advice: Perez has been steadily progressing since being placed on the IL in late May with a strained left groin, and he will take what's likely the last step of his recovery by starting a rehab assignment. The southpaw will likely require multiple appearances at Indianapolis before being cleared to rejoin the Pirates. Prior to the injury, Perez held a 4.71 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP across 57.1 innings with Pittsburgh. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago

    • Taking seat Friday
      Benintendi is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Detroit.

      Advice: The White Sox have mixed in extra days off for Benintendi since he returned from an Achilles injury, as this is the third time in eight contests that he's been out of the lineup. Tommy Pham will play left field Friday and Gavin Sheets will be in right. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
       
    • Idle Friday
      McKinstry is not part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

      Advice: After starting four of the Tigers' last five games at shortstop, McKinstry will yield to Ryan Kreidler on Friday. McKinstry has two hits in his last 23 at-bats and has struck out nine times during that span. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

    • Jesus Luzardo (back) won’t start Saturday
      Jesus Luzardo (back) won’t start for the Marlins on Saturday, according to Daniel Alvarez-Montes.

      Advice: Luzardo has dealt with back stiffness and will miss his scheduled start on Saturday. It’s yet to be determined if Luzardo is just having his start pushed back or if he’ll require a stint on the injured list. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
       
    • Missing Saturday's start
      Luzardo (back) won't start Saturday's game against the Mariners, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

      Advice: Luzardo experienced back tightness in his last start and was pulled after 77 pitches and showed decreased velocity. While the Marlins initially listed Luzardo as their probable pitcher Saturday, they'll refrain from putting the 26-year-old lefty on the mound against Seattle and give him some extra rest. Miami could possibly push Luzardo's start back a day, with Braxton Garrett filling in Saturday, but it's more likely Luzardo won't pitch until his next turn in the rotation.

    • Claimed by Mets
      The Mets claimed Ellis off waivers from the White Sox on Friday and optioned him to Double-A Binghamton, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Ellis got a cup of coffee with the White Sox this season and has slashed just .258/.341/.308 at the Double-A level, which is especially underwhelming when you consider his age (26). He's fast and can play defense, though, which was enough to pique the Mets' interest. Rotowire.com Today, 10:52 am
       
    • Released by Miami
      The Marlins released Smith on Thursday.

      Advice: Smith predictably cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now free to sign on with a new organization. The right-hander posted a 4.25 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 29.2 innings for the Marlins. Rotowire.com Today, 10:25 am
       
    • Not in Friday's lineup
      Marte is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

      Advice: Marte served as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter Thursday and is now out of their lineup altogether, although there's no indication at this point that this is anything other than a routine day off. Blaze Alexander is handling second base Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:22 am
       
    • Four hits in loss
      Bailey went 4-for-5 in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Bailey is 14-for-37 (.378) over his last 10 games, and the lone contest in that span in which he failed to log a hit was one where he appeared off the bench. While the catcher is making consistent contact, it hasn't been particularly powerful -- he has just two extra-base hits in that span. Overall, he's at a .299/.367/.439 slash line with five homers, two stolen bases, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and eight doubles through 50 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
