  • Not starting against lefty
    Cruz isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: With lefty Yusei Kikuchi starting for Toronto, the left-handed bat of Cruz will step out of the lineup Saturday. Nick Gonzales will slide over to play shortstop while Jared Triolo covers the keystone. Rotowire.com 1 minute ago
     
  • Sent back to Triple-A
    Morris was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following the Yankees' 6-2 win over San Francisco on Friday.

    Advice: Morris was called up Thursday, failing to appear in a contest out of the bullpen before being sent back down to Triple-A. The right-hander will now have to wait for his next chance to join the major-league roster. In a corresponding move, Cody Poteet was recalled from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and he'll start Saturday's contest versus the Giants. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Mark Canha (hip) not in Saturday’s lineup vs. Red Sox
    Mark Canha (hip) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Canha remains out for Saturday’s showdown at Fenway Park after being a late scratch from Friday’s lineup due to left hip soreness. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 7 minutes ago

  • Scratched from start
    Musgrove will not start as scheduled Saturday against the Royals.

    Advice: The Padres recalled Randy Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso to start Saturday's contest, causing Musgrove's next start to be pushed back. It's unclear whether the 31-year-old is dealing with an injury or the Padres simply want to give him some extra rest, but the team should offer some clarity in the near future.

  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Brown will sit Saturday versus Atlanta.

    Advice: Brown will get a breather as the Athletics square off with left-hander Chris Sale on the mound Saturday. Daz Cameron will draw the start in right field and bat fifth against Atlanta. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • Padres recall Randy Vásquez for Saturday start
    Padres recalled RHP Randy Vásquez from Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Vásquez draws the starting assignment for Saturday’s game against the Royals after Joe Musgrove was scratched just a few hours prior to first pitch. The 25-year-old righty has posted an underwhelming 5.82 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 13/4 K/BB ratio across 21 2/3 innings (five starts) this season in his Padres debut. He’s not a recommended streaming option for fantasy managers. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Remains on bench
    Davis is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with Atlanta.

    Advice: Davis will remain on the bench for the fourth consecutive contest Saturday. He appears to have fallen out of favor as the primary option at first base with Oakland. Aledmys Diaz will draw the start first and bat eighth against Atlanta. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Joe Musgrove scratched from Saturday start
    Joe Musgrove has been scratched from Saturday’s start against the Royals.

    Advice: No word yet on the reason for the move yet. It’ll be Randy Vásquez taking the ball on Saturday afternoon in his absence against the Royals. There should be an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
     
  • Resting Saturday
    Murphy isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Murphy has gone just 2-for-13 since returning from the injured list, so he'll get a chance to regroup Saturday while Travis d'Arnaud starts behind the dish, batting sixth. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
