MLB Player News

Wisdom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Wisdom has a .590 OPS over his past 12 contests and will take a seat for the second straight game. Nick Madrigal went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run during Saturday's game and will start at third base again Sunday.

Peraza (ankle) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Peraza hasn't made any appearances for the Yankees since spraining his right ankle in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Guardians, but manager Aaron Boone said the rookie will be an option off the bench Sunday, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. The 22-year-old infielder has been a part-time player for the Yankees since his April 16 call-up, so his absence hasn't necessarily opened up steady playing time for any one player.

Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

While moving between three positions (second base, third base and shortstop), Walls had started in six of the Rays' last seven games. He doesn't have a clear path to an everyday role at any one position, but Walls' versatility, slick glove, improved plate skills and ability to contribute as a baserunner should continue to allow him to pick up a handful of starts per week.

Rivera started at third base and went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-7 win over Washington.

Rivera got the start ahead of Evan Longoria against a lefty and gave Arizona an early lead with a first-inning homer. He's starting against lefties -- at third base, first base and DH in the last week -- and hit safely in all games started since his call-up from Triple-A Reno. Overall, he's batting .423 (.455 BABIP) with one home run, two doubles, five RBI and five runs scored. There isn't a full-time role for Rivera, but he should be safe to stay in MLB for now after coming up as a replacement for struggling outfielder Jake McCarthy.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

Garcia continues to find a place in the lineup, and he's gone 7-for-19 (.368) while hitting safely in each of his five games since he was called up from Triple-A Omaha. The natural shortstop has seen most of his playing time at third base, though he also picked up a game at shortstop. He hit fifth in Saturday's contest after staying in the bottom half of the order initially, but it's too soon to tell if he's earned a more attractive slot in the lineup. Garcia has four RBI, three runs scored, two stolen bases and two doubles through 22 plate appearances.

Arenado went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Tigers.

He took Spencer Turnbull deep in the fifth inning, giving the Cardinals a 5-3 lead that the pitching staff couldn't protect. Arenado snapped a 20-game homer drought in the process, a stretch in which he stumbled to a .190/.238/.215 slash line. The veteran third baseman has reached base safely in six straight games however, going 6-for-24 with three walks and a double in addition to Saturday's home run. He hasn't yet regained his 2022 form, but there could be light at the end of the tunnel.

Candelario, who is out of Saturday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, was diagnosed with dehydration after he fell ill Friday night, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario went to the hospital for precautionary tests but is expected to be at the game Saturday, although he is likely unavailable. This is the first game he has missed all season and he should be considered day-to-day.

Rendon, who is out of Saturday's lineup against the Rangers, is dealing with a sore thumb after colliding with Matt Thaiss in Friday's game, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

It sounds like a very minor issue, with the Angels giving Rendon his scheduled off day Saturday instead of Sunday as originally planned, per manager Phil Nevin. Gio Urshela and Jake Lamb are handling the infield corners.

Candelario is not in Saturday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

This is Candelario's first day off this season. He is slashing .228/.275/.378 with four home runs, 12 runs and 14 RBI in 32 games.

Reynolds was designated for assignment by the Reds on Saturday.

Reynolds was with the team for a week while Wil Myers was on the COVID-19 injured list, but he didn't make much of an impact. Reynolds started just once and went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts overall. He'll exit the roster with Myers now healthy.
