Salvador Perez Not In The Lineup

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (thumb) is absent from the starting lineup on Sunday vs. the Cleveland Guardians.

MJ Melendez is starting behind the dish and Edward Olivares is filling in at designated hitter vs. Shane Bieber.

Chi Chi Gonzalez Will Start On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Chi Chi Gonzalez had his contract selected and will start Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles. The 30-year-old right-hander pitched relatively well in the minors before being called up but has struggled in limited major league action this year.

Daulton Varsho Absent From The Lineup On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the San Francisco Giants.

Jarren Duran Optioned To Triple-A Again

J.D. Martinez Absent From The Lineup On Saturday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is just a day off for the 35-year-old veteran, who's been swinging a hot bat over the last five or so games. It's still been an underwhelming season for the slugger, who has a .271/.339/.438 […]

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May (back) could work as a reliever in the postseason if he's able to make it back during the playoffs, according to manager Dave Roberts.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (illness) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Ke'Bryan Hayes Back In The Lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) is back in the lineup on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. The 25-year-old third baseman missed the previous three games with some back discomfort but he's good to go on Sunday, starting at third base and batting fifth against Adrian Sampson.

Brandon Nimmo Not In The Lineup On Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (quad) is not in the lineup on Saturday vs. the Oakland Athletics. Nimmo appears to just be getting the day off even though he did tweak his left quad on Wednesday against the Brewers. He has appeared in games since then so Saturday just looks to be a day […]

Freddy Peralta Will Start Sunday Vs. Cincinnati

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta (shoulder) will return to the team on Sunday and start against the Cincinnati Reds.

Sheldon Neuse Designated For Assignment

Oakland Athletics infielder Sheldon Neuse has been designated for assignment. The team needed to make room for infielder Ernie Clement on the 40-man roster, so Neuse was the odd man out.

Luis Frias Recalled From Triple-A Reno

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Luis Frias has been recalled from Triple-A Reno. Keynan Middleton (toe) landed on the injured list so Frias was brought up in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old righty really struggled earlier this year, posting a 12.34 ERA in just 11 2/3 innings out of the D-Backs bullpen so there's little to […]

JT Brubaker Lands On The 15-Day Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker (lat) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right lat discomfort. The 28-year-old righty left his start on Thursday early with the issue and he landed on the IL three days later. Pitcher Luis Ortiz was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.
