    • Lowe homers in return to lineup Saturday
      Brandon Lowe went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk against the Nationals on Saturday.



      Advice: Lowe’s home run was his sixth of the season. It was certainly good to see him do something productive in his first game back in the Rays’ lineup since breaking his pinkie toe. With Lowe, you have to worry about when the next injury might come. He’s a decent power option in the middle infield as long as he’s playing. Lowe has a .218 average .756 OPS with 23 RBI on the season.

    • Gabriel Moreno (thumb) won’t need rehab assignment
      Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Gabriel Moreno (thumb) is not expected to require a rehab assignment.

      Advice: Moreno is getting back up to speed in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League at the moment, but Lovullo made it sound like he’ll return on Tuesday instead of getting into some additional minor league contests. The 24-year-old backstop has been out since last weekend due to a left thumb sprain. Rotoworld Today, 11:35 am

    • Brandon Lowe returns to Saturday’s lineup vs. Nats
      Brandon Lowe (toe) has returned to the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Nationals.

      Advice: Lowe is at designated hitter and batting second on Saturday after coming off the bench as a pinch-hitter during Friday’s showdown. The 29-year-old second baseman is making his first start since last weekend when he suffered a fractured right toe. He’ll continue playing as long as he can manage the main.

    • Back in lineup Saturday
      Lowe (toe) is serving as the designated hitter and batting second for Saturday's game against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: After missing five games with a fractured right pinky toe, Lowe returned to action Friday as a pinch hitter for Amed Rosario in the bottom of the seventh inning. Lowe will wear a guard over his toe Saturday in his first start since June 22, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports. For the month of June, Lowe is slashing .254/.324/.476 with four home runs and 14 RBI over 63 at-bats. Rotowire.com Today, 9:26 am
       
    • Sitting vs. lefty
      Varsho is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: With the Yankees sending left-hander Nestor Cortes to the mound Saturday, Varsho will retreat to the bench. Varsho returned to the starting lineup Thursday after sitting the three games prior due to a back injury, and he's gone 0-for-8 with five strikeouts over his last two starts. Kevin Kiermaier will start in center field Saturday and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:38 am
       
    • Homers in return to lineup
      Torres went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 16-5 rout of Toronto.

      Advice: Torres was held out of action Wednesday and Thursday following a prolonged slump, and the time off appeared to serve him well. The second baseman contributed to a Yankees offensive explosion Friday with a two-run blast in the sixth inning and added a sacrifice fly in the ninth. Torres finished with his first multi-hit game in over a month -- he hadn't accomplished that feat since going 2-for-4 against San Diego on May 26. Rotowire.com Today, 7:08 am
       
    • Ready to return to lineup
      Lowe (toe) went 0-for-1 with a strikeout Friday against the Nationals.

      Advice: Lowe has been sidelined for five straight games with a fractured pinky toe, and Friday's appearance as a pinch hitter was his first since suffering the injury. However, manager Kevin Cash said that Lowe was physically capable of being a starter, but he remained on the bench due to a matchup against lefty Mitchell Parker, per MLB.com. Lowe wore a protective guard over his right cleat. Rotowire.com Today, 6:36 am
       
    • Luis Arraez returns to lineup Friday vs. Red Sox
      Luis Arraez (hand) returned to the lineup for Friday’s game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Arraez wound up sitting out just one contest after suffering a hand injury earlier this week. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward for fantasy managers, but we’re contractually obligated to note it here. Rotoworld Today, 6:17 am

    • Brandon Lowe strikes out as pinch-hitter on Friday
      Brandon Lowe (toe) struck out as a pinch-hitter during Friday’s game against the Nationals.

      Advice: Lowe has been held out of Tampa Bay’s lineup for the last five games as he recovers from a broken right toe, but it doesn’t appear that he’s going to require a trip to the injured list. He should be back in the lineup at some point this weekend. Rotoworld Today, 6:02 am
