    • Carlos Correa picks up three knocks in victory
      Carlos Correa went 3-for-6 with an RBI and run scored in a blowout win over the Athletics on Saturday.

      Advice: Correa had three of the Twins’ 16 hits on a day where Minnesota dominated from start to finish. The 29-year-old has been spectacular in the month of June, and this makes six games with at least three hits in that period. A .308/.369/.498 slash is fantastic, but Correa has somehow been considerably better as of late than that line suggests. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:02 pm
       
    • Sitting Saturday
      Gurriel (elbow) isn't in Arizona's lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: Gurriel was removed from Friday's game due to a sore left elbow, and it is seemingly bothering him enough to keep him from playing Saturday, though the D-backs don't believe his injury to be anything too serious. Jake McCarthy will slide over to left field while Gurriel recovers, allowing Randal Grichuk to start in right field while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:51 am
       
    • Max Kepler (neck) not in Saturday’s lineup vs. A’s
      Max Kepler (neck) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Kepler will sit out his second straight contest on Saturday afternoon due to neck spasms, but there’s no indication that he’s looking at a trip to the injured list. The 31-year-old corner outfielder’s neck locked up on him during the early stages of Thursday’s game against the Rays and he’s probably going to need a couple days off to rest. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:45 am
       
    • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (elbow) not in Saturday’s lineup
      Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (elbow) is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Phillies.

      Advice: Gurriel hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet, so that’s at least an encouraging development after he was lifted from Friday’s contest against Philadelphia with left elbow soreness. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:18 am
       
    • Flashes power Friday
      Albies went 2-for-5 with a walk, a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's win over the Yankees.

      Advice: The second baseman had a sluggish start to the season, but he appears to be heating up along with the weather. Over the last nine games, Albies is batting .308 (12-for-39) with four doubles, a triple, two homers, seven RBI and 10 runs scored while hitting second in the order behind Jarred Kelenic.

    • Avoids serious injury
      Gurriel did not require an X-ray on his elbow following Friday's game against the Phillies, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

      Advice: Gurriel exited the contest in the seventh inning with elbow soreness, though manager Torey Lovullo said after the game that he doesn't anticipate that Gurriel will require a stint on the injured list. The outfielder's status for Saturday remains in question, however. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:45 pm
       
    • Diamondbacks hopeful Gurriel (elbow) will avoid IL
      Diamondbacks’ skipper Torey Lovullo said after Friday’s game that he’s hopeful Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (elbow) will be able to avoid the injured list.

      Advice: Lovullo noted that the 30-year-old outfielder was sore after the game on Friday but that he did not require any imaging — at least at this time. He’ll be re-evaluated on Saturday, but it sounds like he was fortunate to have avoided any type of serious injury here. Rotoworld Friday, 7:32 pm
       
    • Exits game with elbow soreness
      Gurriel exited Friday's game against the Phillies due to left elbow soreness.

      Advice: Gurriel appeared to have sustained the injury during his at-bat in the top of the seventh inning, per Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com. He's the second Arizona player to leave Friday's game, with catcher Gabriel Moreno leaving in the sixth inning due to a sprained left thumb. Before exiting, Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the second inning. He was replaced by Randal Grichuk, who came into the game in right field with Jake McCarthy shifting to left.

    • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. leaves game with sore elbow
      Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was removed from Friday’s ballgame against the Phillies due to left elbow soreness.

      Advice: The 30-year-old slugger opened the scoring in Friday’s game with a solo homer off of Taijuan Walker in the second inning and finished the night 2-for-4 before being lifted in the eighth inning. Expect the Diamondbacks to provide an update on his status — and a potential timeline for his return — following the conclusion of Friday’s game. Rotoworld Friday, 6:48 pm
