  • Indians' Roberto Perez: Drives in four in return

    Perez went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI against the White Sox on Tuesday.

    Perez's availability was in question for Tuesday after he exited Monday's contest early with a foot contusion. However, he showed no ill effects in his return, smacking a three-run homer in the seventh inning. He now has 22 home runs on the season, nearly tripling his previous career-high.

    Bemboom was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    Bemboom has gotten into 13 games for the Rays and Angels this season, struggling to a .185/.185/.333 slash line. He'll likely serve as the third catcher behind Max Stassi and Kevan Smith down the stretch.

  • Rays' Travis d'Arnaud: Slugs 16th homer

    D'Arnaud went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 loss to the Orioles in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    Serving as the designated hitter, d'Arnaud provided the Rays with a 2-0 lead with a 427-foot blast to center in the fourth inning off Ty Blach, his third homer in his last six games. The 30-year-old has generated a solid .254/.320/.460 slash line and d'Arnaud has 58 RBI in 291 at-bats this season.

  • Danny Jansen C | TEX

    Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Sitting Tuesday

    Jansen is not in the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

    Gallagher is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.
