  • Sitting Saturday
    Singleton will sit Saturday versus Minnesota.

    Advice: Singleton will head to the bench after he went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 6-1 loss. Jose Abreu will replace him at first base and bat eighth against the Twins. Rotowire.com Today, 9:13 am
     
  • Breather Saturday

  • Released by Mets
    The Mets released Choi on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Choi had a June 1 opt-out in his minor-league deal with the Mets, but he'll hit the open market a day early. The 33-year-old slashed .183/.307/.317 across 101 plate appearances at Triple-A Syracuse and will likely look to sign a minor-league deal elsewhere. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:18 pm

  • Mark Canha undergoes additional testing on hip
    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters after Friday’s loss to the Red Sox that Mark Canha underwent additional testing on his injured left hip.

    Advice: Canha was a late scratch from Friday’s lineup with the hip issue — which apparently has been bothering him for some time now and finally told the Tigers that he couldn’t play through it any longer. We’ll wait and see what the test results yield, but there’s a chance that the 35-year-old outfielder may wind up on the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:10 pm

  • Seth Brown strikes out four times in loss
    Seth Brown struck out all four times he was up in Friday’s loss to the Braves.

    Advice: It’s probably about time for the A’s to give up on Brown. He was a solid role player in 2021 and ’22, but his slugging fell off last year, and his exit velocity numbers have really slipped while he’s hit .201/.242/.329 this season. Lawrence Butler seems like a better option in his spot. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:25 pm

  • Scratched with sore thumb
    Schanuel was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Mariners due to left thumb soreness.

    Advice: Schanuel was originally set to start at first base and bat in the leadoff spot Friday, but thumb problems will prevent him from doing so. Willie Calhoun will cover first base in Schanuel's place, moving Matt Thaiss into the DH spot while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:19 pm
     
  • Nolan Schanuel scratched Friday with sore thumb
    Nolan Schanuel was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup on Friday night due to a sore left thumb.

    Advice: No word yet on the extent of the injury, but since he was in the initial lineup it’s unlikely to be too serious. Willie Calhoun will cover first base in his absence while Matt Thaiss will enter the lineup as the team’s designated hitter against Bryan Woo and the Mariners on Friday night.

  • Mark Canha scratched Friday with sore left hip
    Mark Canha was scratched from the Tigers’ starting lineup on Friday due to soreness in his left hip.

    Advice: The 35-year-old outfielder is considered day-to-day. Andy Ibanez will replace him in the team’s starting lineup at second base with Colt Keith shifting to the designated hitter spot. The Tigers are already without Kerry Carpenter (back) for a significant amount of time, so they really can’t afford to have Canha to be out for long. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:18 pm

  • Scratched Friday
    Canha was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Red Sox due to left hip soreness.

    Advice: Canha was slated to serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot Friday, but the 35-year-old was removed from the lineup due to the injury. Colt Keith will shift to DH and Andy Ibanez will start at second base, while Gio Urshela moves up to fourth in the batting order against Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck.
