    • Jake Bloss (shoulder) throwing bullpen on Sunday
      Jake Bloss (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday.

      Advice: Bloss resumed throwing earlier this week and figures to be ready to return from the injured list at some point in early July. The 23-year-old rookie landed on the injured list last week with right shoulder inflammation. Rotoworld Today, 11:32 am
       
    • Ian Anderson (elbow) starting Sunday at Low-A
      Ian Anderson (elbow) will make a minor league rehab start on Sunday for Low-A Augusta.

      Advice: Anderson continues to work his way back from last April’s Tommy John surgery and figures to be an option for Atlanta’s starting rotation at some point following the All-Star break in a couple weeks. Rotoworld Today, 11:29 am

    • Resting Saturday
      Rosario isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Rosario will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-4 in Friday's series opener -- his first hit in his last four games. His absence will allow Harold Ramirez to serve as Washington's DH while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:26 am
       
    • Back in action Saturday
      Winker (knee) is starting in left field and batting third Saturday against the Rays.

      Advice: Winker was battling knee problems after getting his foot caught in the outfield grass during the first inning of Friday's game, but he appears to be in good enough shape to play Saturday. The 30-year-old has slashed .260/.377/.412 through 302 plate appearances this season, though he may see limited work in the outfield after top prospect James Wood officially joins the Nationals for his MLB debut Monday.

    • Claimed by Boston
      The Red Sox claimed Speas off waivers from the Astros on Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Worcester, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: Speas was DFA'd by the Astros last week, and although he'll remain in Triple-A with his new organization, he will reclaim a spot on a 40-man roster. The 26-year-old righty has accumulated a gaudy 10.38 ERA and 2.26 WHIP through 21.2 total innings in the minors while spending time with three different organizations. Barring a significant improvement, a return to the majors is unlikely. Rotowire.com Today, 11:18 am
       
    • Not starting versus lefty
      Pederson isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against the Athletics.

      Advice: Pederson will sit down for the second game in a row with the Diamondbacks matching up against a left-handed starter (Hogan Harris) again Saturday. Ketel Marte will fill in as Arizona's designated hitter, allowing Blaze Alexander to start at the keystone while batting second. Rotowire.com Today, 11:12 am
       
    • Resting versus LHP
      Carroll isn't in Arizona's lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Carroll will take a seat Saturday with fellow left-hander Hogan Harris slated to start on the mound. Lourdes Gurriel, Jake McCarthy and Randal Grichuk will start across the D-backs' outfield while Carroll rests. Rotowire.com Today, 11:09 am
       
    • 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 Today, 11:08 am

    • Getting Saturday off
      Barnhart isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game versus Oakland.

      Advice: The switch-hitting Barnhart owns just a .290 OPS this season against left-handed pitching, so he'll take a seat Saturday as the A's send southpaw Hogan Harris to the mound. Jose Herrera will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:05 am
