  • Rafael Devers scores twice in loss to Brewers
    Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Saturday in a loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: One of the hits was a double. The 27-year-old saw his six-game homer streak come to an end last week and went hitless over his last two games, but it’d be hard to complain about a slash of .276/.372/.538. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched Saturday
    Candelario was scratched from the Reds' lineup Saturday due to neck stiffness.

    Advice: The Reds haven't provided any information on the severity of Candelario's injury, but it is apparently bothering him enough to hold him out of Saturday's contest. Santiago Espinal will enter the lineup to cover third base while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:21 pm

  • Jeimer Candelario scratched due to neck stiffness
    Jeimer Candelario was scratched from the Reds’ starting lineup on Saturday due to stiffness in his neck.

    Advice: The issue is believed to be minor and the 30-year-old infielder is considered day-to-day. Santiago Espinal will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat ninth for the Reds against Walker Buehler and the Dodgers on Saturday evening in Cincinnati. Rotoworld Today, 3:07 pm

  • Ezequiel Duran launches first homer vs. Twins
    Ezequiel Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo homer against the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Duran hadn’t hit a home run over 34 games to start the season going into Saturday’s contest against the Twins. He finally got on the board with a solo shot off Chris Paddack in the fifth inning. The 25-year-old utility man is getting sporadic playing time around the diamond. He’s hitting 284/.346/.337 with eight runs and six RBI across 104 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 2:11 pm

  • Brett Baty goes yard for forth homer against Giants
    Brett Baty went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk against the Giants on Saturday.

    Advice: Baty had struck out twice leading up to his at-bat in the seventh inning. With the game tied at one run, he put the Mets ahead with a solo blast off Sean Hjelle for his fourth homer of the season. The 24-year-old third baseman is slashing .229/.299/.336 with 15 runs scored and 16 RBI across 155 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 1:57 pm

  • Moved to 60-day IL
    The Yankees transferred LeMahieu (foot) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

    Advice: LeMahieu's move to the 60-day IL has no impact on his expected return date of May 28. It will, however, free up a 40-man roster spot for Kevin Smith to temporarily fill in for the injured Jon Berti (calf). LeMahieu will operate as New York's primary third baseman once he returns from the injured list, though he figures to receive more off days initially as he eases his way back from a non-displaced fracture of his right foot.

  • Selected from Triple-A
    The Yankees selected Smith's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

    Advice: Smith spent time with the Yankees for a short stint in mid-April, though he never registered a plate appearance while in New York. He has slashed .204/.270/.286 across 111 plate appearances in the minors this season, and his time with the Yankees will likely be short-lived again due to DJ LeMahieu (foot) trending toward a return during the upcoming series against the Angels.

  • Hits injured list with calf strain
    The Yankees placed Berti on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left calf strain.

    Advice: Berti was in visible pain after falling to the ground as he began to run toward first base during Friday's game, and it will officially cost him at least 10 days as he heads to the injured list. The Red Sox's trainers appeared to be working near Berti's Achilles tendon while he was on the ground, though imaging showed he only suffered a calf strain as a result of the incident. Kevin Smith will come up from Triple-A to take Berti's roster spot. Rotowire.com Today, 1:35 pm

  • Swipes third bag
    Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: Getting the start at second base and batting seventh, Kiner-Falefa was the only Blue Jay to record multiple hits on an afternoon when offense was at a premium. The 29-year-old utility player has seven hits in the last four games, but that comes on the heels of an 0-for-20 swoon. On the season, Kiner-Falefa is slashing .264/.305/.382 with three homers, three steals, 13 RBI and 14 runs in 50 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 1:26 pm
