D-backs land Lars Nootbaar from Cards in trade

The 28-year-old hurler has been impressive since transitioning to a bullpen role at the Triple-A level and could wind up being a major weapon out of the Yankees’ bullpen down the stretch. Yerry De los Santos was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move to clear a spot in the Yankees’ bullpen.

The 21-year-old infielder was pulled from the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader after suffering a knee injury. The good news is that an MRI exam revealed no structural damage, just a bit of swelling around his patella. It remains unclear if he’ll need a short stint on the injured list or not, but Lombard shouldn’t be looking at any sort of extended absence. Jose Caballero will start in his place at shortstop and bat seventh for the Yankees against Red Sox’ left-hander Ranger Suarez.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 36-year-old outfielder. Mauricio Dubon will cover left field in his absence while Ha-Seong Kim starts at shortstop and will bat ninth against Rockies’ right-hander Mason Adams.

Carrigg had started each of the previous five games in center field, but he’ll take a seat in this one. Jake McCarthy will cover center field on Sunday while Hunter Goodman serves as the team’s designated hitter and Brett Sullivan gets a start behind the dish for the Rockies.

With JJ Wetherhold (wrist) unexpectedly landing on the injured list on Sunday, Prieto will return to provide infield depth. The 27-year-old has gone 2-for-31 (.065) in his limited action with the Cardinals this season and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Wetherholt played the entire game on Saturday, though he did get a day off to rest on Thursday, so it’s possible this is an issue that has lingered for a while. No word yet from the Cardinals on how long they expect him to be shelved for. César Prieto was recalled from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move on Sunday.

The 27-year-old infielder has done a nice job during his time with the Red Sox this season, slashing .250/.331/.405 with three homers, 13 RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 171 plate appearances. With Roman Anthony and Trevor Story returning from the injured list on Sunday though, he gets squeezed off of the active roster. Expect to see him again once rosters expand in September.

With Roman Anthony and Trevor Story rejoining the roster on Sunday, the Red Sox were forced to make some tough decisions on their bench and Gasper wound up on the outside looking in. The 30-year-old has hit a solid .278/.374/.466 with five homers and 19 RBI in 156 plate appearances with the Red Sox this season. He’ll continue to function as extra depth at the Triple-A level.

The Red Sox’ lineup is getting serious reinforcements on Sunday with Story and Roman Anthony both returning from lengthy stints on the injured list. Story has been sidelined since undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia in late May. Before he landed on the injured list, the 33-year-old shortstop was hitting .206/.244/.303 with three homers, 19 RBI and four stolen bases in 176 plate appearances.

After a lengthy stint on the injured list and a minor league rehab assignment, the 22-year-old outfielder is finally ready to rejoin the Red Sox lineup. Before landing on the injured list on May 4, Anthony was slashing .229/.354/.321 with just one homer, five RBI and a pair of stolen bases through his first 130 plate appearances on the season.
