    • Missing fifth straight
      Riley (side) isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game versus San Diego.

      Advice: Riley said Saturday that he is feeling better, per Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, but he has yet to resume swinging a bat. The 27-year-old infielder also noted that the team has not talked with him about a potential move to the injured list; however, Riley wouldn't say that he would be back in time for the start of Atlanta's upcoming series with the Cubs on Tuesday. Zack Short, who will start at third base and bat seventh Saturday, has served as Atlanta's third baseman since Riley went down and should continue to do so until the slugger recovers.

    • Austin Riley not in Saturday’s lineup vs. Padres
      Austin Riley (side) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s tilt against the Padres.

      Advice: Riley will miss his fifth straight contest due to left side inflammation. There’s a possibility he’ll be ready to go at some point later this weekend, but Atlanta clearly doesn’t want to take any chances by rushing him back too quickly. It’ll be Zack Short drawing another start at the hot corner in his ongoing absence. Rotoworld Saturday, 12:39 pm
       
    • José Ramirez hits game-winning homer Friday
      José Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a win over the Twins on Friday.

      Advice: It’s been a trying season for Ramirez with his OBP hanging right around .300 despite 10 home runs, 38 RBI, and seven stolen bases. His batted ball metrics have also tailed off for the second time in three seasons, but his counting stats remain spectacular. Rotoworld Friday, 8:48 pm
       
    • Slugs 10th homer
      Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Twins.

      Advice: Ramirez's long ball gave the Guardians the lead for good in the eighth inning. It was his 10th homer of the year, five of which he's hit over the last 12 contests -- a span that's also seen him collect 13 RBI and three stolen bases. The third baseman is slashing .249/.301/.463 with 38 RBI, 28 runs scored, seven steals, six doubles and a triple through 44 games this season. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:46 pm
       
    • Austin Riley held out of lineup again on Friday
      Austin Riley (side) was held out of the Braves’ starting lineup for the fourth consecutive game on Friday night.

      Advice: It’s still encouraging that there has been no chatter about a possible trip to the injured list, which would seemingly mean that Riley is making progress and should return to the lineup any day now. Zack Short will once again start in his place at the hot corner and will bat ninth against Matt Waldron and the Padres. Rotoworld Friday, 3:02 pm
       
    • Out again Friday
      Riley (side) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against San Diego, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: Riley won't be starting for a fourth consecutive game as he deals with inflammation in his left side. Instead, Zack Short will draw another start at the hot corner and bat ninth. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said that Riley is feeling better but isn't quite ready yet, per David O'Brien of The Athletic. He remains day-to-day. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:37 pm
       
    • Sitting in third straight game
      Riley (side) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: He'll miss out on a third straight start while he manages left side inflammation, but with the benefit of some added rest in the form of a team off day Thursday, Riley could be healthy enough to rejoin the starting nine for Friday's series opener versus the Padres. Zack Short will make another start at third base in Riley's place Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:10 pm
       
    • Cleared for running
      Lewis (quadricep) did some light running on the field Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta described the upcoming week as a big one for Lewis when it comes to his recovery from the right quad strain that has kept him out since he suffered the injury Opening Day. Lewis will gradually ramp up the intensity of his running this week while incorporating more change-of-direction work into his training regimen. Depending on how Lewis responds to the running work, he could be cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment next weekend. In addition to running, Lewis has been fielding grounders and hitting.

    • Royce Lewis (quad) ramping up activity
      Royce Lewis (quad) progressed to on-field running on Tuesday at Target Field.

      Advice: Lewis has plateaued a bit in his rehabilitation process, so it’s an encouraging sign that he’s expected to ramp-up his baserunning this week. The 24-year-old third baseman’s return timetable should come into cleared focus at some point later this week. He’s been out since Opening Day recovering from a severe right quad strain.
