  • Breather Saturday
    Kelly is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Boston, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Kelly will get a breather after he went 2-for-7 with a triple and a run scored over the first two games of the series. Jake Rogers will draw the start at catcher and bat ninth against the Red Sox. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
     
  • Remains out Saturday
    Canha (hip) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Red Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Canha was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to left hip soreness and he'll be forced to sit out again Saturday. Colt Keith will slot in at designated hitter while Zach McKinstry enters the lineup at second base and bats seventh against Boston. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago

  • Activated, called up ahead of start
    Poteet (finger) was activated from the minor-league 7-day injured list and called up to start Saturday's contest versus the Giants.

    Advice: Poteet is officially set to make his second major-league start of the season Saturday, replacing Clarke Schmidt (lat) on the mound for the Yankees. The right-hander last pitched with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 19, allowing three runs over four innings before missing his last outing with a blister. Poteet drew his first start with New York on April 13, tossing six innings of one-run ball while striking out four in a win over the Guardians. It's unclear if the Yankees view Poteet as a long-term replacement for Schmidt, who's expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, but a strong outing Saturday could certainly make that a possibility.

  • Getting breather against LHP
    Bae isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi will toe the slab Saturday for the Jays, meaning the lefty-hitting Bae will retreat to the bench. Michael Taylor will fill the open spot in center field while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago

  • Not starting against lefty
    Cruz isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: With lefty Yusei Kikuchi starting for Toronto, the left-handed bat of Cruz will step out of the lineup Saturday. Nick Gonzales will slide over to play shortstop while Jared Triolo covers the keystone. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to Triple-A
    Morris was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following the Yankees' 6-2 win over San Francisco on Friday.

    Advice: Morris was called up Thursday, failing to appear in a contest out of the bullpen before being sent back down to Triple-A. The right-hander will now have to wait for his next chance to join the major-league roster. In a corresponding move, Cody Poteet was recalled from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and he'll start Saturday's contest versus the Giants. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
     
  • Mark Canha (hip) not in Saturday’s lineup vs. Red Sox
    Mark Canha (hip) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Canha remains out for Saturday’s showdown at Fenway Park after being a late scratch from Friday’s lineup due to left hip soreness. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago

  • Scratched from start
    Musgrove will not start as scheduled Saturday against the Royals.

    Advice: The Padres recalled Randy Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso to start Saturday's contest, causing Musgrove's next start to be pushed back. It's unclear whether the 31-year-old is dealing with an injury or the Padres simply want to give him some extra rest, but the team should offer some clarity in the near future.
