  • Gets breather Saturday
    Rojas isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Despite the Mets sending left-handed starter Sean Manaea to the mound, Rojas will step out of the lineup for the second game in a row Saturday. Cristian Pache will take over in center field again and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 6:44 am
     
  • Produces game-winning hit
    Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 2-1 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

    Advice: Pitching dominated the matchup between two of the league's top teams, and Hernandez was responsible for half of the Dodgers' four hits. His second knock came in the 11th inning, when he doubled to left field to plate Los Angeles' only two runs of the game, which were enough to result in victory. Hernandez has three RBI over his past two contests to move into the team lead with 41 RBI on the campaign. Rotowire.com Today, 6:44 am
     
  • Sitting versus lefty
    Dahl isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday against the Mets, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Lefty Sean Manaea will start on the hill for New York, meaning the left-handed bat of Dahl will take a seat to begin Saturday's contest. Whit Merrifield will draw the start in left field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 6:40 am
     
  • Starling Marte back in lineup for London Series
    Starling Marte (knee) is in the lineup for Saturday’s London Series opener against the Phillies.

    Advice: Marte is back in right field and batting fifth for Saturday’s London Series opener after getting a couple extra days of rest after sitting out Wednesday’s series finale against the Nationals due to right knee soreness. Rotoworld Today, 6:40 am
     
  • Returns to lineup
    Marte (knee) is starting in right field and batting fifth Saturday against the Phillies, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: A knee issue forced Marte to be scratched from New York's lineup prior to Wednesday's contest, but the problem appears to have subsided ahead of New York's two-game series against Philly in London. The 35-year-old outfielder has been on a tear as of late, going 10-for-22 with six RBI and five runs scored across his last six games. Rotowire.com Today, 6:29 am
     
  • Sitting versus southpaw
    McNeil isn't in the Mets' lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: With left-hander Ranger Suarez slated to start on the mound for Philadelphia, the lefty-hitting McNeil will step out of the lineup Saturday. Jose Iglesias will get the nod to start at the keystone instead, batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 6:25 am

  • Starts at third base
    Duran started at third base and went 2-for-3 an RBI in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Giants.

    Advice: Duran entered the lineup with Corey Seager (hamstring) on the bench. Josh Smith, the primary fill-in for Josh Jung (wrist) at third base, moved to shortstop, paving the way for Duran to make his eighth start of the season at the hot corner. He's hit safely in four consecutive games and 11 of the last 13. Seager's injury is not considered serious, but he could need a couple more days, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.

  • Logs first MLB hit
    Dunn started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Dunn legged out a double for his first hit in the majors then scored what turned out to be the winning run. He's started in left field twice -- both against left-handers -- since having his contract selected from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 6:08 am
     
  • Swats sixth homer
    Siri went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: The center fielder got Tampa Bay on the board by taking Cole Irvin deep in the second inning. Siri is heating up at the plate -- over his last 10 games he's slashing .303/.395/.667 with three of his six homers on the season, but his 1-for-4 performance on the basepaths during that stretch is a stark reminder of his inconsistency.
