  • Gets breather Saturday
    Candelario isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Candelario will get a chance to clear his head Saturday after going 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts across his last five games. Santiago Espinal will step in to cover third base instead while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 10:18 am
     
  • Added as 27th man
    The Rockies added Toglia to their active roster Saturday ahead of their series against the Astros in Mexico City.

    Advice: The Rockies were permitted to add an additional position player to their roster for their two-game series in Mexico City, so Toglia will come up from Albuquerque to provide additional flexibility at first base and in the outfield. The 25-year-old has slashed .106/.143/.362 across 49 big-league plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 10:05 am

  • Picks up steal
    Arias went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Arias' last four starts have been evenly split between second and third, providing opportunities for Jose Ramirez and Andres Gimenez to get rest. Arias is off to a solid start this season in a utility role, slashing .278/.304/.426 with three steals, one home run, eight RBI and seven runs scored across 56 plate appearances. He's already played at six different positions this season, so he should be able to be in the lineup semi-regularly despite lacking a single obvious path to playing time. Rotowire.com Today, 9:57 am

  • Placed on injured list
    The Nationals placed Gallo on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Gallo is slashing .122/.286/.311 across 91 plate appearances so far this season, but his shoulder injury will cause him to miss at least the next 10 days. Alex Call was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to replace Gallo as outfield depth. Rotowire.com Today, 9:57 am

  • Nationals put Joey Gallo (shoulder) on 10-day IL
    Nationals placed 1B/OF Joey Gallo on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder AC joint sprain.

    Advice: Gallo heads to the injured list for an extended layoff after batting .122 with three homers and a staggering 43 strikeouts in 23 games this season in his Nationals debut. The 47 percent strikeout rate isn’t what you want, but the fact that he’s not really hitting for any power makes it fair to wonder how much longer he’ll stick around for a rebuilding Washington squad that has plenty of top prospects knocking on the door.

  • Mets bring up Mark Vientos on Saturday from AAA
    Mets recalled INF Mark Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: It’s a bit surprising to see Vientos back with the Mets with veteran slugger J.D. Martinez finally healthy and occupying the designated hitter slot until further notice. The 24-year-old slugger batted .302 (26-for-86) with five homers and 22 RBI across 23 games for Triple-A Syracuse after failing to make New York’s season-opening roster. He’ll presumably split time between third base, first base and DH moving forward, but the lack of consistent playing time limits his appeal for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld Today, 9:40 am

  • Sitting vs. southpaw
    O'Hearn is not in the Orioles' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: With the Athletics sending out left-hander JP Sears, the lefty-hitting O'Hearn will open Saturday's game in the dugout. Adley Rutschman will start at designated hitter while James McCann forms a battery with starting pitcher Cole Irvin. Rotowire.com Today, 9:24 am

  • Trey Cabbage joins Astros for Mexico City series
    Trey Cabbage will serve as the Astros’ 27th man for this weekend’s Mexico City series against the Rockies.

    Advice: The big question here is whether Cabbage will stick around with the Astros in a bench role or head back to Triple-A Sugar Land at the conclusion of this weekend’s two-game series down in Mexico City. The 26-year-old outfielder possesses serious contact issues, but doesn’t really have anything left to prove in the minors at this stage of his career. Rotoworld Today, 8:56 am

  • Michael Toglia serving as 27th man this weekend
    Michael Toglia will serve as the Rockies’ 27th man for this weekend’s Mexico City series against the Astros.

    Advice: Toglia stuck around with the Rockies earlier this week after being optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque and could potentially get into a game this weekend down in Mexico City before heading back to the minors. Rotoworld Today, 8:54 am
