    • Has BP session Saturday
      Cole (elbow) threw 29 pitches in his bullpen session Saturday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: Cole noted that he had a "pretty good" bullpen session, with 13 of his 29 pitches being breaking balls and his velocity topping at 89 MPH. He is set to stay in Tampa Bay and throw another bullpen early in the coming week. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
       
    • Resting Saturday
      Torres is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Ray, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Torres will not start for the first time since April 20 against Tampa Bay, though he did pinch hit in that contest. Torres is 5-for-30 with five walks and a solo home run in May, and he is coming off an 0-for-4 outing with one strikeout in Friday's win. Oswaldo Cabrera will shift to second base Saturday, while Jon Berti gets the start at third. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
       
    • Gets another start
      Robles is starting in right field and batting ninth Saturday in Boston.

      Advice: He has started over Nick Senzel in back-to-back games against a right-handed pitcher (both Senzel and Robles bat right-handed), which allows the Nationals to plug Jesse Winker in at designated hitter to improve the outfield defense. Robles returned Friday from a hamstring injury and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base. At least until the Nationals promote James Wood, it looks like Robles will get to play a decent amount in the short term. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
       
    • Pirates recall Alika Williams on Saturday
      Pirates recalled INF Alika Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis.

      Advice: Williams gets the call back to Pittsburgh with Ke’Bryan Hayes landing on the injured list with back inflammation. The 25-year-old infielder doesn’t offer any appeal for fantasy managers moving forward as he holds a .549 OPS with zero homers and one steal in 61 contests in the majors over the last two seasons.

    • Gets breather Saturday
      Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Stanton went 2-for-4 in the series opener Friday. Trent Grisham will start in center field Friday while Aaron Judge shifts to DH against Rays right-hander Zack Littell. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
       
    • Ke’Bryan Hayes to IL with back inflammation
      Pirates placed 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes on the 10-day injured list with back inflammation.

      Advice: So much for it being a non-issue. Clearly, the Pirates don’t want to take any chances here after Hayes missed a couple contests earlier this week with a lingering back issue. The 27-year-old will likely wind up missing at least a couple weeks to ensure that it doesn’t become a recurring issue. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting against another righty
      Senzel is not in Saturday's lineup against the Red Sox.

      Advice: He will sit for a second day in a row with the Nationals facing a righty, and on both occasions Victor Robles picked up the start in the outfield with Jesse Winker sliding to designated hitter. Senzel is hitting .214 with a 42.4 percent strikeout rate in 28 at-bats this month. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

    • Kodai Senga (shoulder) remains in holding pattern
      Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Saturday that Kodai Senga (shoulder) will need a few more bullpen sessions before progressing to facing hitters.

      Advice: Mendoza added that Senga remains in the process of tweaking his throwing mechanics, which is the reason he hasn’t faced hitters yet. It’s unclear whether this latest development will push back his season debut, but it’s a notable wrinkle as he continues his rehabilitation process. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago

    • Sitting Saturday as expected
      Schwarber (back) will sit for Saturday's game against the Marlins, as expected.

      Advice: He left Friday's game in the ninth inning with a sore back and told reporters he'd probably take Saturday off, which is indeed the case. Cristian Pache draws the start in left field with Whit Merrifield starting at third base and Alec Bohm getting the nod at designated hitter. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
