    • Like Mike: Imanaga folds Cards in seven-inning gem
      Shota Imanaga struck out six and allowed one run over seven innings on Saturday in a win over the Cardinals.

      Advice: Imanaga got his first taste of the storied NL Central rivalry on Saturday afternoon at historic Wrigley Field and delivered another masterpiece, throwing a career-high 103 pitches and limiting St. Louis’ lineup to just four baserunners over seven stellar frames. He induced 14 swinging strikes, with a dozen of them coming on his splitter/sweeper combo, and allowed just seven batted balls with an exit velocity in excess of 95 mph. The 30-year-old Japanese southpaw has been a revelation this season in his Cubs debut, allowing two earned runs or fewer in 12 of his 13 starts so far. He’ll carry a microscopic 1.89 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 78/11 K/BB ratio across 76 innings (13 starts) into a home outing on Friday against the Mets. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
       
    • Breather Saturday
      Buxton is not in the starting lineup against the Athletics on Saturday.

      Advice: Buxton will get a breather after he went 7-for-15 with a home run, a triple, six RBI and four runs scored while starting the last four contests. Manuel Margot will draw the start in center field and bat eighth against Oakland. Rotowire.com Today, 8:51 am

    • Transferred to 60-day IL
      Strider (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

      Advice: Strider is already set to miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign after undergoing elbow surgery in April, so the move to the 60-day IL doesn't impact his outlook. The right-hander will still have his sights set on a return at some point early in the 2025 season, but in the meantime, Saturday's transaction opened a spot on the 40-man roster for Ramon Laureano, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Gwinnett.

    • Braves transfer Spencer Strider to 60-day IL
      Braves transferred RHP Spencer Strider to the 60-day injured list.

      Advice: The procedural move opens up a spot on Atlanta’s 40-man roster. Strider is targeting an early-season return to the Braves’ starting rotation next year after undergoing an internal brace procedure, not a full Tommy John ligament replacement operation, on his right elbow back in mid-April.

    • Swipes fifth bag
      Hayes went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Rockies.

      Advice: Hayes hasn't hit well across 13 games since returning from a back injury, as he's maintained only a .240 average with one extra-base hit. However, he has shown the desire to steal bases by recording all five of his thefts on the season since his return. Rotowire.com Today, 6:57 am
       
    • Lifted for pinch runner
      Seager returned to the lineup and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.

      Advice: Seager was back in the lineup as the DH after being scratched Thursday due to ongoing issues with his hamstring. The one time he did reach base Friday -- a two-out, eighth-inning walk -- he was lifted for a pinch runner. That likely means manager Bruce Bochy didn't want to risk aggravating the injury while trying to score a tying run, so the manager went with the speedier Travis Jankowski. For Seager, the walk extended his on-base streak to 30 games (.415 OBP). Rotowire.com Today, 5:58 am
       
    • Corey Seager hitless on Friday in return to lineup
      Corey Seager (hamstring) went 0-for-3 on Friday in his return to the lineup.

      Advice: Seager went 0-for-3 before being lifted for a pinch-runner in the late stages of Friday’s series opener against the Mariners. The Rangers have tried to be cautious with their 30-year-old superstar over the last few days as he attempts to play through a minor left hamstring issue. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him get a few extra maintenance days off moving forward in an effort to prevent the lingering issue from getting worse. Rotoworld Today, 4:07 am
       
    • Byron Buxton smacks RBI triple in win on Friday
      Bryon Buxton went 1-for-4 and smacked an RBI triple on Friday night, helping to lead the Twins past the Athletics in extra innings.

      Advice: Buxton got the Twins on the board with his run-scoring triple off of Mitch Spence in the second inning, trimming their deficit to three runs at 4-1. That would be his only hit on the evening. He has been swinging a hot bat as of late, but is still slashing a disappointing .244/.299/.395 on the season to go along with four homers, 22 RBI and three stolen bases in 51 ballgames.

    • Homers vs. Miami
      Thomas went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Friday's 8-1 win over the Marlins.

      Advice: Thomas provided the big blow in the Nationals' seven-run third inning with a homer off Shaun Anderson, his fifth long ball this season. The 28-year-old outfielder extended his hit streak to eight games -- he's gone 10-for-29 (.345) in that span. Overall, Thomas is slashing .231/.295/.359 with 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and 16 stolen bases through 40 games this year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:01 pm
