MLB Player News

Moustakas (knee) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Tuesday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Moustakas has already been ruled out for the remainder of 2016 after undergoing surgery to repair his torn ACL, so the move was purely a procedural one. Tyler Olson, who was claimed off waivers by the Royals earlier Tuesday, will fill in on the 40-man roster in a corresponding move and report to Triple-A Omaha.

Riley, 19, is slashing .260/.308/.384 with three home runs, 24 RBI and two steals through 57 games for Low-A Rome.

Riley has plenty of upside, but is still raw, as evidenced by the 78:16 K:BB in 57 games. His power stroke has also not come around just yet, though he did smack 12 home runs in 60 games at the Rookie Level in 2015. Riley is a prospect to watch, but remains a ways away from making a big-league impact.

Segura went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's win over the Dodgers.

In a game in which the Diamondbacks had just six hits, Segura was the only player with at least two. The 26-year-old seems to be breaking out of his slump, with hits in five straight games. Three of those were multi-hit efforts.

Longoria, who leads the Rays in homers, RBI and batting average, has been particularly proficient over the last 14 games with men on base, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The veteran slugger is enjoying a resurgent season and has been particularly lethal with runners in scoring position over the last two-plus weeks. Longoria has hit .563 and driven in 17 runs with men on base over a 14-game span, raising his average 25 points to .279 in the process. The 30-year-old has driven in at least one run in 10 of those 14 contests, and has already amassed 11 RBI in the 10 June games he's participated in.

Devers, 19, is batting .378 over his last 10 games for High-A Salem.

Devers got off to a horrible start this season, but may have finally turned the corner. He's now slashing .228/.301/.340 with four home runs, 26 RBI and seven stolen bases in 58 games.

Bregman, 22, is batting .314/.411/.596 with 13 home runs, 42 RBI and four steals through 49 games for Double-A Corpus Christi.

With Carlos Correa (ankle) nursing a minor ailment, many clamored for Bregman to receive a promotion to briefly take Correa's place. The more likely scenario, though, is that Bregman slides over to third base, as he has been playing there in recent weeks. With the hot corner continuing to provide little pop for the Astros, Bregman may see the bigs in short order.

Peterson is in the lineup and batting seventh for Monday's game against the Reds.

Peterson is coming off a successful series against the Cubs in which he combined to go 3-for-5 with two walks and three runs scored in two starts. The 26-year-old will look to keep it going Monday while Chase d'Arnaud takes the day off.

Asche went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

The home run was Asche's first of the season, and it gave him a a five-game hitting streak. He's been seeing regular playing time in left field since coming off the disabled list earlier this month, offering some utility in NL-only formats.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's win over the Astros.

He's putting together an impressive month of June, hitting .359 (14-for-39) with six home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored. The Rays have won seven of their last nine in large part due to Longoria's surging bat, and while they remain in last place in the AL East, they're just 6.5 games back of the Orioles and Red Sox with plenty of time to make up ground.

Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored, two RBI and his seventh home run of the season in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Blue Jays.

The Orioles cranked out five homers Sunday and still managed to lose, but you can't fault Alvarez. He's now popped four home runs in 10 June games while hitting .355 (11-for-31) on the month with eight RBI and seven runs.
