    • Evan Carter scratched Saturday with back stiffness
      Evan Carter was scratched from the Rangers’ starting lineup on Saturday due to stiffness in his lower back.

      Advice: He probably sustained the injury sitting on the bench three times during the week against left-handers instead of actually being on the field. The Rangers are going to take every possible precaution here, so it’s possible that he’ll be held out of Sunday’s lineup as well — causing him to miss the entire three-game weekend set against the Rockies.

    • Dealing with stiff back
      Carter is sitting Saturday against the Rockies due to lower-back stiffness, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Carter has a history of lower-back issues, so the Rangers are acting cautiously, per Grant. Travis Jankowski is getting the start in left field and batting seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:25 pm
       
    • Sitting Saturday
      Carter is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Despite the Rockies sending out right-hander Ryan Feltner, the lefty-hitting Carter will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout. Carter has gone 7-for-34 with five runs and four RBI while posting a 35.1 percent strikeout rate in May. Travis Jankowski will start in left field and bat seventh.

    • Getting Saturday off
      Tucker is not in the Astros' starting lineup for Satuday's game against the Tigers, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

      Advice: Tucker has gone deep in four of his last five games, and his 12 home runs on the season are tied with Atlanta's Marcell Ozuna for most in the majors. Joey Loperfido will start in right field Saturday and bat ninth against Detroit southpaw Tarik Skubal. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:49 pm
       
    • Kyle Tucker gets rare day off Saturday vs. Tigers
      Kyle Tucker is not in the Astros lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Tigers.

      Advice: It’s Tucker’s first day off this season. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar clobbered his 12th round-tripper of the season during Friday’s series-opening win over the Tigers. He holds a career-best .965 OPS with a league-leading 12 homers through 38 contests. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:32 pm
       
    • Still out Saturday
      Lee (foot) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Reds.

      Advice: Lee will miss a third straight game with a sore foot. Tyler Fitzgerald is starting in center field against lefty Nick Lodolo on Saturday. Lee did on-field work Saturday and was moving better, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:13 pm
       
    • Jung Hoo Lee (foot) not in Saturday’s lineup
      Jung Hoo Lee (foot) remains absent from the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Reds.

      Advice: There was optimism Lee would be ready to return this weekend, but it sounds like he’s going to get some extra time to rest and recover from some lingering foot soreness. The positive news here is that the 25-year-old rookie outfielder hasn’t landed on the injured list, but he’s out of the lineup for a third straight contest. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be Tyler Fitzgerald drawing another start in center field. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:00 pm
       
    • Kyle Tucker blasts 12th homer in win over Tigers
      Kyle Tucker blasted his league-leading 12th home run on Friday night, helping to power the Astros to a 5-2 victory over the Tigers in the opener of their three-game set in Motown.

      Advice: Tucker finally got the Astros on the board in this one with his 409-foot (106.0 mph EV) solo shot off of Casey Mize in the sixth inning. He also drew a pair of walks and scored twice in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-3. On the season, the 27-year-old superstar outfielder is slashing .270/.391/.574 to go with the aforementioned 12 long balls, 26 RBI and six stolen bases. Rotoworld Friday, 6:08 pm
       
    • Lung Hoo Lee (foot) remains out of Giants’ lineup
      Jung Hoo Lee (foot) remains out of the Giants’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Reds.

      Advice: Lee also sat out Thursday’s game due to a sore foot. Giants’ skipper Bob Melvin said Friday that Lee may need an additional day off on Saturday, but that he should be able to return after that and won’t require a trip to the injured list. Let’s hope that’s the case and it doesn’t turn into an Jorge Soler (shoulder) situation. Rotoworld Friday, 4:41 pm
