    • Adds another steal
      Ramirez went 1-for-4 with one RBI, a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 4-2 extra-innings win over Atlanta.

      Advice: Ramirez didn't run much early in the campaign, but he's gotten back to it with all four of his steals this year coming over the last eight games. He's gone 9-for-32 (.281) in that span while adding nine RBI and four extra-base hits. Overall, the star third baseman is doing fine with a .259/.276/.455 slash line, five home runs, 24 RBI and 19 runs scored over 116 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:05 am
       
    • Gets ugly win
      Paddack (2-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Angels. He struck out two. His average fastball declined two mph from his average during the start, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

      Advice: Despite the win, this was a concerning outing for Paddack. The reduced velocity on his fastball is worrisome and he gave up his fifth home run in five starts. After giving up multiple runs in the second and third innings, he did recover to throw two scoreless innings before departing. His next start is lined up to face the Red Sox at home on Friday.

    • Ronel Blanco defeats Rockies to improve to 3-0
      Ronel Blanco improved to 3-0 on the season on Saturday, limiting the Rockies to two runs on five hits over 5 2/3 innings in Mexico City.

      Advice: The right-hander piled up eight strikeouts on the evening while walking a pair of opposing hitters. He served up a one-out, two-run homer to Ryan McMahon in the opening inning, then went on cruise control from that point forward. Blanco generated a whopping 21 swings and misses on 102 pitches in the ballgame — nine on his cutter and eight on his changeup — while posting a strong CSW of 28 percent. He has been a tremendous addition to the Astros’ rotation this season, compiling a 1.65 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 30/14 K/BB ratio over 32 2/3 innings through his first five starts. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling when he does battle against the Mariners at home on Friday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:17 pm

    • Oneil Cruz sits with injured ankle on Saturday
      Oneil Cruz was held out of the Pirates’ starting lineup on Saturday due to an injured ankle.

      Advice: The dynamic 25-year-old shortstop tweaked his ankle during Friday night’s game against the Giants and was given a night off on Saturday to rest it. For the time being, he’s considered day-to-day. Alika Williams will start in his place at shortstop and will bat ninth against Jordan Hicks and the Giants on Saturday evening in San Francisco.

    • Bryon Buxton absent from Twins lineup Saturday
      Byron Buxton is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s showdown against the Angels.

      Advice: The oft-injured outfielder will get a breather against Angels’ right-hander Jose Soriano on Saturday evening in Los Angeles. Austin Martin will start in his place in center field and will bat ninth for the Twins on Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:11 pm
       
    • Resting Saturday
      Buxton isn't in the Twins' lineup Saturday against the Angels.

      Advice: Buxton will sit down for the start of Saturday's contest after going 1-for-5 with an RBI during Friday's series opener. Alex Kirilloff, Austin Martin and Max Kepler will start across the outfield in his absence, and Trevor Larnach will serve as the Twins' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:50 pm
       
    • Sitting with injured ankle
      Cruz isn't in Pittsburgh's lineup Saturday against the Giants after tweaking his ankle during Friday's game, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

      Advice: Cruz hurt his ankle after sliding into third base during the ninth inning of Friday's game, and it is apparently bothering him enough to warrant a day off Saturday. While he recovers, Alika Williams will start at shortstop and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:23 pm

    • Josh Lowe battling tightness in right hamstring
      Rays’ outfielder Josh Lowe won’t be activated from the injured list on Saturday as he is now battling tightness in his right hamstring.

      Advice: Lowe had told reporters on Friday that he was feeling great and ready to go, but it turns out he suffered a hamstring injury while rehabbing his injured oblique and will head for an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of that injury. So much for the Rays getting their dynamic outfielder back quickly. Look for the Rays to provide a new timeline after they get the results of Monday’s exam. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm

    • Won't be activated from IL
      Lowe (oblique) will not be activated off the 10-day injured list by the Rays this weekend due to tightness in his right hamstring, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Lowe spent the past week progressing through his rehab assignment in the minors. He was expected to be activated from the IL on Saturday, but the 26-year-old now has a new injury to deal with, this time to his right hamstring. Topkin notes that Lowe was concerned about the risk of playing through the injury and missing more time. Lowe will fly back to Florida to receive an MRI on Monday, which will help provide a better idea as to when the outfielder will be able to return to the majors. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:33 pm
