    • Back in lineup
      Jones (back) is starting in left field Saturday against the Astros.

      Advice: Back stiffness caused Jones to exit Tuesday's game early and has kept him sidelined for the Rockies' last two games. Now seemingly healthy, the 25-year-old will look to turn things around at the dish after starting the year with a .469 OPS through 96 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago

    • Nolan Jones in lineup for Mexico City opener
      Nolan Jones (back) has returned to the lineup for Saturday’s Mexico City series opener against the Astros.

      Advice: Jones is back in left field and batting seventh for Saturday’s showdown in Mexico City’s high-octane offensive environment after sitting out a pair of contests earlier this week due to back stiffness. The 25-year-old outfielder has struggled at the outset of the year, but showed he can be an impact five-category fantasy contributor during last year’s breakout campaign. It’s too early to consider cutting bait, despite his ongoing struggles at the dish. Rotoworld 54 minutes ago

    • Jhoan Duran (oblique) to make rehab outing Saturday
      Jhoan Duran (oblique) is scheduled to pitch in a minor league rehab game at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, after Friday’s scheduled appearance was rained out.

      Advice: As long as everything goes well with that outing, it sounds like the Twins’ closer could be cleared to make his 2024 season debut. Duran threw 27 pitches his last time out and should be expected to have a similar workload on Saturday. It sounds like Griffin Jax’s usefulness from a fantasy perspective could be coming to an end soon. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:04 pm
       
    • Andrés Giménez not in Guardians lineup on Friday
      Andrés Giménez is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Braves.

      Advice: The switch-hitting 25-year-old infielder went hitless (0-for-10) during their series against the Red Sox to start the week, so perhaps Guardians’ skipper Stephen Vogt just wants to give him a day to clear his head. Gabriel Arias will start in his place at second base and will bat seventh against Chris Sale and the Braves on Friday evening in Atlanta. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:55 pm
       
    • Sitting versus lefty
      Gimenez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

      Advice: Atlanta is starting southpaw Chris Sale, so it's not a bad day for the left-handed hitting Gimenez to get a breather. Gabriel Arias will handle second base Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:52 pm
       
    • Swipes first bag
      Vaught went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Twins.

      Advice: Vaughn singled in his first trip to the plate before stealing his first base of the season. He added a double in his next at-bat, then came around to score on a Paul DeJong single to put Chicago up 2-0, marking the first baseman's first multi-hit performance since April 9 against the Guardians. Vaughn is batting just .170 (15-for-88) following the two-hit effort, though he has hit safely in three of his last four games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:37 am

    • Goes yard, scores three times
      Contreras went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, three runs scored and a stolen base while also drawing a walk in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Contreras launched a solo homer off Mitch Keller in the top of the first inning to give Milwaukee an early lead and came around to score the team's third run on a Rhys Hoskins single in the third. He then added a single in the fifth frame before going on to steal his second base of the season. The catcher scored three runs in the contest, a mark he's hit three times already this season, while also recording multiple hits for the second consecutive game. Contreras is batting .373 (31-for-83) in April with five homers, 20 RBI and 21 runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:01 am
       
    • Goes 4.1 scoreless
      Verlander didn't factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three hits and four walks with seven strikeouts over 4.1 scoreless innings against the Cubs.

      Advice: Verlander couldn't complete five innings Thursday, getting pulled after 95 pitches. His inefficiency and lack of control led to four walks, but he kept each baserunner from reaching home plate. Through two starts Verlander owns a 1.74 ERA with 11 strikeouts across 10.1 innings. A matchup with the Guardians likely awaits next week. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:56 pm
       
    • Nolan Jones sits out Thursday with back issue
      Nolan Jones (back) remained out of the lineup for Thursday’s series finale against the Padres.

      Advice: It seems like Jones will be ready to return for this weekend’s highly-anticipated series against the Astros in Mexico City after sitting out a pair of contests against the Padres following an early exit from Tuesday’s game due to back stiffness. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. There should be some clarity on his status at some point later this week. Rotoworld Thursday, 4:12 pm
