  • Remains on bench
    Davis is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with Atlanta.

    Advice: Davis will remain on the bench for the fourth consecutive contest Saturday. He appears to have fallen out of favor as the primary option at first base with Oakland. Aledmys Diaz will draw the start first and bat eighth against Atlanta. Rotowire.com Today, 10:13 am
     
  • Mets release veteran first baseman Jiman Choi
    Mets released 1B Jiman Choi.

    Advice: Choi had a June 1 opt-out in his minor league contract with New York and wasn’t going to be summoned to the majors. The 33-year-old posted a .674 OPS with four homers in 26 games this season for Triple-A Syracuse. Rotoworld Today, 10:02 am
     
  • Brendan Donovan (neck) out Saturday vs. Phillies
    Brendan Donovan (neck) remains absent from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Donovan remains out after being scratched from Friday’s lineup due to neck stiffness. It’ll be rookie Masyn Winn, who has recorded at least one hit in 18 straight games that he’s started since May 6, taking over atop St. Louis’ lineup in his absence. Rotoworld Today, 9:48 am

  • Breather Saturday
    Renfroe is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Padres.

    Advice: Renfroe will get a breather after he went 2-for-4 with a double and a strikeout in the team's 11-8 loss in Friday's series opener. Nelson Velazquez will slot in at right field while Freddy Fermin enters the lineup at catcher after some shuffling. Rotowire.com Today, 9:34 am
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Vaughn is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Brewers.

    Advice: Vaughn will remain on the bench for a second game in a row Saturday. Gavin Sheets will draw another start at first base and bat fifth against Milwaukee. Rotowire.com Today, 9:25 am
     
  • Released by Mets
    The Mets released Choi on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Choi had a June 1 opt-out in his minor-league deal with the Mets, but he'll hit the open market a day early. The 33-year-old slashed .183/.307/.317 across 101 plate appearances at Triple-A Syracuse and will likely look to sign a minor-league deal elsewhere. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:18 pm
     
  • Mark Canha undergoes additional testing on hip
    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters after Friday’s loss to the Red Sox that Mark Canha underwent additional testing on his injured left hip.

    Advice: Canha was a late scratch from Friday’s lineup with the hip issue — which apparently has been bothering him for some time now and finally told the Tigers that he couldn’t play through it any longer. We’ll wait and see what the test results yield, but there’s a chance that the 35-year-old outfielder may wind up on the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:10 pm

  • Seth Brown strikes out four times in loss
    Seth Brown struck out all four times he was up in Friday’s loss to the Braves.

    Advice: It’s probably about time for the A’s to give up on Brown. He was a solid role player in 2021 and ’22, but his slugging fell off last year, and his exit velocity numbers have really slipped while he’s hit .201/.242/.329 this season. Lawrence Butler seems like a better option in his spot. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:25 pm
     
  • Scratched with sore thumb
    Schanuel was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Mariners due to left thumb soreness.

    Advice: Schanuel was originally set to start at first base and bat in the leadoff spot Friday, but thumb problems will prevent him from doing so. Willie Calhoun will cover first base in Schanuel's place, moving Matt Thaiss into the DH spot while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:19 pm
