    • José Ramírez hits 19th homer of season in victory
      José Ramírez hit a solo homer to help the Guardians to a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

      Advice: J-Ram is already up to 18 homers on the season, and that puts him well above a 40-homer pace. The switch-hitting infielder has also driven in 61 runs over 63 games, and you don’t have to be a math expert to know that puts him on pace for a rather large number.

    • Smacks 18th long ball
      Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Saturday's 8-0 win over the Marlins.

      Advice: Ramirez has gone 6-for-22 (.273) with two homers and four RBI over six games in June. The third baseman opened the scoring Saturday with a first-inning solo shot off Miami starter Roddery Munoz. For the year, Ramirez is slashing .272/.335/.553 with 18 homers, 61 RBI, 49 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 13 doubles and a triple over 62 contests. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:25 pm
       
    • Manny Machado (hip) remains out of Padres lineup
      Manny Machado (hip) was held out of the Padres’ starting lineup for the third consecutive game on Saturday.

      Advice: Unlike the previous two days though, Machado did participate in a full pregame workout with the team, indicating that his return is imminent. He should once again be available off the bench if needed on Saturday. Donovan Solano will start in his place at third base and bat fifth for the Brewers against Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks on Saturday evening in Arizona. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:16 pm
       
    • Sitting out third straight

Donovan Solano will continue to fill in for Machado at third base, batting fifth against right-hander Ryne Nelson. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:12 pm
       
    • Manny Machado sits out Friday against D-backs
      Manny Machado (hip) was held out of the lineup for Friday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Machado made a pinch-hit appearance during Thursday’s series opener against Arizona, but wasn’t needed during Friday’s one-sided affair. The 31-year-old third baseman is day-to-day with a mild right hip flexor strain and figures to return at some point this weekend. Rotoworld Saturday, 6:37 am
       
    • Still out of lineup
      Machado (hip) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Machado sustained a mild right hip flexor strain Wednesday against the Angels, and the 31-year-old will sit again Friday. While he didn't start in the series opener against Arizona on Thursday, Machado did pinch hit for Kyle Higashioka in the eighth inning and grounded out to the pitcher. While Machado begins Friday's game in the dugout, Donovan Solano will start at third base and bat fifth against Diamonbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:49 pm

The third baseman upped his power in late May and is now at 17 homers this season, with eight of them coming since May 17. He's added a stellar .276/.335/.552 slash line with 60 RBI, 47 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 13 doubles and one triple over 60 contests. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:48 pm
