    • Ronel Blanco reinstated for start against A’s
      Astros activated RHP Ronel Blanco.

      Advice: Blanco was suspended for 10 games after being detected for a foreign substance on his glove He’ll get the start Sunday against the Athletics for the series finale. He should be activated from fantasy lineups for that outing. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:03 am

    • Back from suspension, starting Sunday
      Blanco (suspension) was reinstated to the Astros' 26-man active roster Sunday and will start Houston's series finale versus the Athletics in Oakland.

      Advice: As had been reported days earlier, Blanco will immediately slot back into the Houston rotation now that he's completed his 10-game ban after he was deemed to have used a foreign substance during his most recent start May 14, also versus Oakland. Assuming Blanco was able to stay fully ramped up while he was serving his suspension, he shouldn't face many restrictions when he takes the hill Sunday. Blanco has been a revelation for the Astros this season, compiling a 4-0 record, 2.09 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 45:21 K:BB in 47.1 innings across eight starts. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:51 am

    • Ramirez blasts 15th home run Saturday
      Jose Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Angels on Saturday.

      Advice: Ramirez now has 10 home runs, 26 RBI and only eight strikeouts in his last 19 games. He’s the first player to reach 50 RBI overall this season. Ramirez’s average is up to .267 and the home run was his 15th on the year. After getting off to a slow start, he’s come on strong lately and is on pace for another great season.

    • Out of lineup Saturday
      Happ isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Happ will sit down Saturday despite going 4-for-11 with three doubles and a run scored during Chicago's previous series against Atlanta. Mike Tauchman will fill the void in left field, allowing Christopher Morel to serve as the Cubs' designated hitter while Patrick Wisdom starts at third base. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:20 pm
       
    • Ian Happ absent from Cubs lineup on Saturday
      Ian Happ is not in the Cubs’ starting lineup for Saturday’s matchup against the Cardinals in St. Louis.

      Advice: It looks to be just a routine day off for the 29-year-old outfielder. He has been pretty awful at the dish so far this season, slashing just .218/.328/.324 with only two homers, 14 RBI and two stolen bases across 198 plate appearances. Mike Tauchman will cover left field with Christopher Morel sliding to the designated hitter spot and Patrick Wisdom drawing a start at third base in place of Happ. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:53 pm
       
    • Smacks 13th homer
      Naylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

      Advice: Naylor entered Friday having gone 2-for-21 (.095) with five strikeouts over his last six contests. He snapped his power drought with a fourth-inning blast off Angels starter Patrick Sandoval. Naylor was one of the Guardians' most consistent hitters in April, but he's tailed off in May. He's slashing .247/.337/.517 with 13 homers, 35 RBI, 27 runs scored and three stolen bases over 202 plate appearances overall. Naylor occupies a spot in the heart of the lineup, giving him a solid floor for run production even when he's scuffling. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:42 pm
       
    • Smacks pair of two-run homers
      Ramirez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's victory over the Angels.

      Advice: With his performance against the Angels, Ramirez collected his 24th career multi-homer game. The veteran third baseman also moved atop the RBI leaderboard, pacing the league with 49. Ramirez has been on an absolute tear in May, hitting .277 (23-for-83) with nine homers, 15 runs scored, 25 RBI, and three steals this month. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:53 pm
       
    • J-Ram homers twice as Guardians defeat Angels
      José Ramirez homered twice while driving in four runs in a 10-4 rout of the Angels on Friday.

      Advice: Ramirez also drew a walk. The switch-hitting star has gone deep 14 times, and both long balls were off Patrick Sandoval on Friday. The 31-year-old scuffled early in the season, but he’s now on pace for a 40-plus homer, 20-plus stolen base season. That’ll work. Rotoworld Friday, 9:21 pm
       
    • Andrew Abbott has next start pushed back two days
      Andrew Abbott will have his next scheduled start pushed back from Sunday to Tuesday.

      Advice: It’s an encouraging development for fantasy managers, as he’ll now avoid the Dodgers and will instead do battle against the Cardinals at home. The Reds have yet to announce a starter for Sunday’s contest and may wind up utilizing their bullpen heavily in that one instead. Rotoworld Friday, 2:37 pm
