  • Sean Manaea takes loss in London Series opener
    Sean Manaea was blasted for six runs over 3 2/3 innings on Saturday in a loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Manaea drew the starting assignment for Saturday’s London Series opener against the division-rival Phillies and was unable to complete four frames. The wheels came off completely in the fourth inning when he gave up homers to Bryce Harper and Whit Merrifield in a disastrous six-run frame. He’ll bring a 4.30 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 60/25 K/BB ratio across 60 2/3 innings (12 starts) into a home outing on Friday against the Padres. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago

  • Back in lineup
    Kelenic (wrist) is starting in left field and batting ninth Saturday versus the Nationals

    Advice: Kelenic missed Atlanta's last two games after injuring his wrist on a diving catch Wednesday, but it no longer seems to be an issue prior to Saturday's contest. The 24-year-old outfielder has gone 10-for-31 (.323) with three RBI and five runs scored over his last 10 games. Rotowire.com Today, 11:34 am
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Caballero is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Caballero will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a double in the series opener Friday. Taylor Walls will start at shortstop Saturday and bat seventh against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish. Rotowire.com Today, 11:04 am
     
  • Taking seat Saturday
    Turner is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Turner will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 0-for-3 with one walk and two strikeouts in the series opener Friday. The lefty-hitting Daniel Vogelbach will serve as the designated hitter Saturday and bat sixth against Athletics right-hander Luis Medina. Rotowire.com Today, 10:29 am

  • Jarred Kelenic returns to lineup Saturday vs. Nats
    Jarred Kelenic (wrist) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic is in left field and batting ninth in his return to Atlanta’s lineup following a two-game absence due to right wrist soreness stemming from a diving catch attempt earlier this week. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 10:22 am
     
  • Notches 13th save
    Bednar earned the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Twins, allowing one hit while logging a strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Advice: Bednar worked around a Byron Buxton one-out single to close out Pittsburgh's shutout victory, earning his 13th save this season. Bednar extended his scoreless inning streak to nine -- he's allowed just five hits and one walk in that span. Overall, the 29-year-old right-hander sports a 5.47 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB across 26.1 innings this season. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 am
     
  • Brandon Marsh to resume baseball activities
    Brandon Marsh (hamstring) has been cleared to resume baseball activities.

    Advice: Marsh has headed off to Triple-A Lehigh Valley for the weekend to starting working out with the Phillies overseas in London. The 26-year-old outfielder is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment at some point next week, unless the club determines he’s ready to jump right back into the big-league lineup.

  • Chris Bassitt masterful Friday in Bay Area return
    Chris Bassitt struck out seven and allowed one run over eight innings on Friday in a no-decision against the Atletics.

    Advice: Bassit was forced to settle for a no-decision against his former organization in an impressive outing at pitcher-friendly Oakland Coliseum. He gave up only four hits and a pair of walks with a run-scoring ground out from JJ Bleday in the sixth-inning representing the lone tally against him in this one. He generated 15 swinging strikes and finished with a 29 percent CSW. It was a performance that should’ve resulted in a victory, but Toronto’s lineup was only able to muster one run on five hits in a low-scoring tractor pull. He’ll square off against the Brewers on Wednesday in his next outing. Rotoworld Today, 3:43 am
     
  • Brandon Pfaadt wears it on Friday vs. Padres
    Brandon Pfaadt was lit up for five runs over 5 1/3 innings on Friday in a loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Pfaadt, who allowed nine hits (including three home runs) and teammate Humberto Castellanos were each tagged for five runs as they soaked up nearly a complete game to spare Arizona’s overworked bullpen, which frankly needed a break after some heavy usage earlier this week. He struck out five and only handed out one free pass. He’ll bring an inflated 4.60 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 76/15 K/BB ratio across 78 1/3 innings (13 starts) into tasty matchup on Thursday against the Angels at Chase Field. Rotoworld Today, 3:18 am
