  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Could start rehab soon

    Peraza (ankle) could begin a rehab assignment within the next few days, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Peraza was finally placed on the injured list Tuesday with a right ankle sprain that's been bothering him for about a week, but it would appear he's nearly game-ready. If he's able to progress without setbacks, a return when first eligible (May 16) seems possible.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Yankees' Josh Donaldson: Week away from rehab games

    Donaldson (hamstring) will go through another week of "intense baseball activities" before starting a rehab assignment, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger.

    It had seemed like a rehab assignment for Donaldson was imminent, but he'll need to get through a few more days of workouts first. That would seem to put him on a timetable to return toward the end of the month, if all goes well. Donaldson has been out since early April with a right hamstring strain.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Sitting out Tuesday

    Wisdom is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.

    Wisdom still has terrific overall numbers, but he has fallen into a 7-for-40 (.175) slump in the last couple of weeks. Nick Madrigal will play third base Tuesday versus St. Louis. Christopher Morel is at second.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Likely out beyond 10 days

    Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that Urias (hamstring) will "miss a good bit of time" after being placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Elias didn't go into detail about how long Urias might be sidelined, but the utility infielder seems likely to miss beyond the minimum 10 days. Urias suffered a left hamstring strain during Monday's game versus the Rays.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Not in lineup

    LeMahieu is absent from the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Athletics, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

    It looks to be a simple day of rest for LeMahieu. Oswaldo Cabrera will handle third base for the Yankees.

  • Cesar Prieto 3B | STL

    Orioles' Cesar Prieto: Lowest K-rate at Double-A

    Prieto has a .364/.411/.485 slash line with two home runs, three steals and more walks (seven) than strikeouts (five) through 107 plate appearances with Double-A Bowie.

    The lefty-hitting Cuban infielder got $650,000 in January of 2022 due to the strength of his hit tool, and thus far he has shown major improvements in a repeat of Double-A, where he was below league average (77 wRC+) in 90 games last year. Prieto's 4.7 percent strikeout rate is by far the best mark in all of Double-A -- next best is Domingo Leyba's 10.1 percent strikeout rate. Prieto, who turns 24 this week, has seen time at second base (11 starts), shortstop (six starts) and third base (five starts).

  • Matt Reynolds 3B | CIN

    Reds' Matt Reynolds: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Reynolds cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

    While he's no longer on the Reds' 40-man roster, Reynolds will remain in the organization. He'll likely serve as a utility infielder at Louisville.

  • Rodolfo Castro 2B | PHI

    Pirates' Rodolfo Castro: Sitting out Tuesday

    Castro is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Castro slugged a two-run homer in the Pirates' defeat of the Rockies on Monday night, but he'll get a breather in the second game of the three-game set at PNC Park. Tucupita Marcano is covering shortstop and batting eighth.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Goes on IL with strained hamstring

    Urias was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Orioles on Tuesday with a strained left hamstring.

    Urias suffered the injury during Monday's loss to the Rays. The severity of the strain is unclear at the moment, and therefore, so is Urias' timetable. Urias is sporting a .756 OPS with one home run and two stolen bases in 30 games this season.

  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Lands on IL with ankle sprain

    The Yankees placed Peraza (ankle) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    The move is retroactive to Saturday, which means Peraza will be eligible to return May 16. While he hadn't played in nearly a week, Peraza was said to be available off the bench in recent days, so it's reasonable to think he might be ready when his 10 days are up.
