      Merrill is not in Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Merrill will head to the bench with lefty James Paxton starting for the Dodgers. Jose Azocar is starting in center field and batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:10 pm
       
    • Blaze Alexander finishes 0-for-4 against Orioles
      Blaze Alexander went 0-for-4 and struck out twice against the Orioles on Friday.

      Advice: Alexander has been taking a backseat to the steadier glove of Kevin Newman now that he’s cooled off at the plate, and the start today was his second in Arizona’s last five games. He’s gone hitless in his last four appearances in the lineup, and his OPS has dropped from 1.000 on Apr. 19 to .803 currently. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:32 pm
       
    • Cubs place Dansby Swanson (knee) on 10-day IL
      Cubs placed INF Dansby Swanson on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 8, with a right knee sprain.

      Advice: Swanson sat out of Wednesday’s contest due to soreness in his knee, and now he’ll be out for at least an additional week while recovering. Fortunately, the Cubs also got good news on the injury front on Friday with Seiya Suzuki being activated from the injured list in a corresponding move. Expect Nico Hoerner to slide over and cover shortstop while Swanson is shelved, leaving Miles Mastrobuoni to see increased action at second base. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm
       
    • Placed on 10-day IL
      Swanson (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 8, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: Swanson missed Wednesday's game against the Padres with knee soreness stemming from an awkward slide that occurred April 25, and the injury has now been deemed a right knee sprain. Nico Hoerner slotted in at shortstop Wednesday while Miles Mastrobuoni got the start at second base -- a lineup that could become the norm while Swanson sits. The shortstop will be eligible to return May 18. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:45 pm
       
    • Three hits, two RBI in win
      Garcia went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Angels.

      Advice: The 24-year-old singled in the top of the third inning before coming around to score on a Vinnie Pasquantino home run. Garcia later added two doubles to give him his first three-hit performance of the season. The third baseman has now hit safely in four consecutive games and in six of eight to open the month of May, tallying four RBI and four runs scored over that latter stretch. However, he hasn't stolen a base since April 30. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:51 am

    • Enters starting lineup
      Alexander started at shortstop, batted ninth and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Thursday's 5-4 win over Cincinnati.

      Advice: Alexander made his first start in four games, as suspect defense kept his potentially productive bat (.845 OPS, .194 ISO) out of the lineup in favor of Kevin Newman (.525, .125). Alexander has cooled down recently at the plate, as the rookie is 1-for-13 over the last seven contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:53 am
       
    • Maikel Garcia collects three hits, two RBI
      Maikel Garcia finished 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI against the Angels on Thursday.

      Advice: Garcia was due for some luck, and he got it tonight, as both of his doubles came on balls hit less than 80 mph. His highest EV in the contest, a 104-mph grounder, actually produced an out. The Royals have remained very patient with Garcia in the leadoff spot, and odds are that he’ll only get better from here.

    • Smacks third home run
      Castro went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI during Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

      Advice: The 27-year-old hit a solo shot off George Kirby in the second inning to break an 0-for-11 stretch at the plate, and Castro's RBI triple in the fourth gave the Twins some extra insurance, making it a 4-1 ballgame. Castro is now slashing .346/.370/.692 with three RBI and three stolen bases across his last seven games. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:23 pm
