  • Remains sidelined Saturday
    Donovan (neck) isn't in the Cardinals' lineup Saturday against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Neck stiffness caused Donovan to be scratched from St. Louis' lineup before Friday's contest, and the issue seems to still be bothering him Saturday. Alec Burleson, Mike Siani and Dylan Carlson will start across the outfield while Donovan sits, allowing Jose Fermin to serve as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Resting versus LHP
    Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Rhys Hoskins will start at first base with Christian Yelich in left field and Gary Sanchez in as the DH. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

  • Takes batting practice Saturday
    Yoshida (thumb) took live batting practice in Boston on Saturday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Yoshida was able to take another step in his recovery from the strain left thumb that has sidelined him since May 1. The outfielder said Saturday that he is "over the injury and it's a matter of building up," according to Abraham. Yoshida will likely need to embark on a multi-start rehab assignment prior to being activated from the injured list. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

  • Breather Saturday

  • Waived by Nats
    The Nationals requested unconditional release waivers on Robles on Saturday.

    Advice: Robles was designated for assignment Monday, and the Nationals will now opt to let him go rather than sending him outright to one of their minor-league affiliates. The 27-year-old has slashed .120/.281/.120 across 33 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he should be able to contribute for another outfield-needy organization -- even if only in the minors.

  • Nationals officially release Victor Robles
    Nationals released OF Victor Robles.

    Advice: Robles was one of the top prospects in baseball just a few years ago and put together an impressive 17-homer, 28-steal full-season debut campaign back in 2019. Unfortunately, his on-field performance has plummeted over the last four-plus seasons since the pandemic, posting a .222/.301/.308 triple-slash line with 11 homers and 39 steals in 1,124 plate appearances over 341 games since the outset of the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. At just 27 years old, it’s possible another organization will elect to roll the dice, but the stunning downward trajectory of his career is one of the strangest outcomes for any consensus top prospect in recent memory.
