    Geraldo Perdomo (hand) is in the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup for Friday’s second half opener against the Cardinals.

    Perdomo received a cortisone injection in his sore left hand over the All-Star break, but it was never expected to keep him out of action. He’s starting at shortstop and batting second against Cardinals’ right-hander Michael McGreevy on Friday evening in Arizona.

    Twins placed RHP Cole Sands on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow strain.

    It’s a tough break for Sands, who was activated off the injured list on July 26th after missing over two months with a forearm strain. Sands made one appearance, allowing five runs on three hits in 1/3 of an inning before landing on the injured list with another injury, which seems very likely to be related to that first injury he may have never fully healed from.

    Phillies activated C Garrett Stubbs (wrist) from the 10-day injured list

    AJ Smith-Shawver (elbow) could start Game 1 of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Mets.

    Chris Sale, who was supposed to start on Tuesday before the game was postponed, will start Game 2 of the doubleheader on Wednesday, but the Braves have not yet listed a starter for Game 1. It seems that Smith-Shawver, who threw 86 pitches on Thursday in his last rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett, will be an option. That would either push Grant Holmes to Thursday or move him out of the rotaiton.

    Horwitz was working to return from a hamstring injury and seemed close to rejoining the Pirates lineup, but he was hit in the helmet over the weekend and has been diagnosed with a concussion. As of now, there is no timeline for his return from this second injury, but it seems that he won’t be back this week.

    Esmerlyn Valdez is listed as day-to-day after getting hit on the hand on Monday night.

    Valdez had to be removed from the game and appeared to be in clear pain. However, the X-rays revealed no fracture, so the 22-year-old will simply wait for the pain and swelling to go down before re-entering the lineup. Both the Pirates and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief.

    The Mets and Braves game on Tuesday has been postponed due to thunderstorms.

    The game will be made up as a split doubleheader on Wednesday. We should likely get the same pitching matchups for both games, but we’ll know for sure on Wednesday. The Braves were hoping to leave New York early because they have a game against the Nationals on Thursday, but luckily it’s not a long trip between the two cities.

    ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that it “feels preordained” that Ryan Jeffers will be traded to the Yankees.

    Jeffers is a free agent after this season and is, according to Passan, “unlikely to re-sign in Minnesota,” which makes it likely he will be moved at the deadline. Passan notes that the Yankees seem to line up best, but the Red Sox and Rays are also in the market for a catcher and could be possible landing spots for Jeffers. Landing in Fenway Park could provide an intriguing boost for Jeffers with the Green Monster in left field, but the Twins are the highest-scoring offense in the American League, so you’re not actually going to get a massive value boost for Jeffers no matter where he goes. He will remain a rock-solid fantasy contributor though.
