  • Idle Saturday
    Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: The switch-hitting Perdomo has posted just a .476 OPS against southpaws since being activated off the injured list June 11, so he'll get a day off against left-hander Hogan Harris. Kevin Newman will enter the lineup as Arizona's shortstop and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:08 am
     
  • On bench against lefty
    Cruz isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game versus Atlanta.

    Advice: Cruz and his .351 OPS against left-handed pitchers will retreat to the dugout Saturday as the Pirates prepare to face southpaw Max Fried. Jared Triolo will fill in as Pittsburgh's shortstop and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:57 am
     
  • CJ Abrams in Saturday’s lineup after HBP on Friday
    CJ Abrams (wrist) is in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Abrams is back at shortstop and leading off on Saturday after being hit by a pitch twice during Friday’s game -- first on his right arm by an 89 mph cutter in the first inning and then on his left wrist by an 88 mph offering a couple frames later. The positive news here is that X-rays came back negative and the issue didn’t seem to impact the cyst that he’s been dealing with near that left wrist. All indications are that he’s good to go this weekend. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:40 am
     
  • Scratched Saturday
    Brujan was scratched from the Marlins' lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus Philadelphia, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Marlins have not yet provided a reason for Brujan's removal from the lineup, but the team should offer some clarity within the near future. In the meantime, Jake Burger will shift to third base for Brujan while Josh Bell moves to first, allowing Jesus Sanchez to enter the lineup as Miami's DH. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:36 am

  • Oneil Cruz absent from Saturday’s lineup vs. Braves
    Oneil Cruz is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves.

    Advice: Despite the presence of lefty Max Fried on the mound for Atlanta in this one, this might be a mental break more than anything for Cruz, who is batting .143 (4-for-28) with two homers and one steal over his last seven games. He’s been mired in an extended funk the past few weeks, hitting .195 (23-for-118) with just four homers and two steals over his last 30 contests. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:22 am
     
  • Out of lineup Saturday
    Rocchio is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Rocchio will be absent from the lineup for the second time in three games Saturday. He went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Friday's 10-3 loss to Kansas City. Gabriel Arias will start at shortstop Saturday and bat ninth against Royals southpaw Cole Ragans. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:02 am
     
  • Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) nears rehab assignment
    Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) is expected to progress to a minor league rehab assignment at some point next week.

    Advice: Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol told reporters Edman fielded grounders on Friday without any ankle issues, and will progress to a rehab assignment with either Double-A Springfield or Triple-A Memphis in the coming days, assuming he gets through the rest of the weekend without a setback. The 29-year-old center fielder is working his way back from offseason wrist surgery and figures to be ready to return at some point in July. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:35 am

  • Three hits Friday
    Rafaela started at shortstop and went 3-for-4 with a double in Friday's 9-2 loss to San Diego.

    Advice: Rafaela is having a productive June, but he entered the game on a 1-for-18 run. The multi-hit effort was his eighth of the month, and the infielder/outfielder is batting .417 (20-for-48) over the last 13 games. This was his third start at shortstop in as many appearances, as manager Alex Cora adjusts to get his hottest bats in the lineup; Jarren Duran slotted in as the center field while David Hamilton manned second base Friday.
