    • Davis Schneider leading off again for Blue Jays
      George Springer (illness) remains absent from the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Twins.

      Advice: It’s Davis Schneider in the leadoff spot for the second straight contest with Springer out of the lineup due to a viral illness. Blue Jays manager John Schneider was noncommittal when it came to Springer, who has struggled to a .574 OPS through 35 games, reclaiming the leadoff role once he’s healthy. It’s a significant development for fantasy managers rostering Schneider, who boasts a robust .378 on-base percentage this season in 98 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 9:04 am
       
    • Cleared for throwing
      McLain (shoulder) was cleared Friday to throw and run, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: McLain could start swinging a bat in an additional six weeks, which the infielder said would help determine a clearer timeline to complete his rehab. Both McLain and manager David Bell reaffirmed the goal for him to return this season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:04 am

    • Not starting Saturday
      Springer (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

      Advice: Springer will miss his second straight game due to an illness. Davis Schneider will once again hit in the lead-off spot and start in left field Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:43 am
       
    • Productive in Friday's win
      Happ went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Happ is off to a bit of a slow start this season, as he's batting just .231 overall with a .661 OPS, but he's been better in May. The outfielder is batting .281 this month with a .707 OPS. What's keeping him from really taking off is a lack of power. Happ is still stuck on just one home run through 36 games after clubbing 21 long balls last year. His fantasy value will remain capped until he starts driving the baseball a bit more.

    • Stuck with loss in quality start
      Pfaadt (1-3) took the loss Friday as the Diamondbacks fell 4-2 to the Orioles, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He failed to strikeout a batter.

      Advice: The 25-year-old right-hander produced his third straight quality start and fourth of the season on 88 pitches (56 strikes), but Pfaadt generated only six swinging strikes as he came up empty in the strikeout department for the first time in 26 big-league starts -- in fact, he'd never fanned fewer than three batters in an outing before Friday. Pfaadt will take a 4.60 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 42:8 K:BB through 47 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Reds. Rotowire.com Today, 6:09 am
       
    • Strikes out 11 on Friday
      King allowed two hits and three walks while striking out 11 over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.

      Advice: King put four runners on base but also racked up eight strikeouts over his first three innings. He ended up missing out on the win after Yuki Matsui allowed the game-tying run in the eighth inning. King was unsteady late in April, but he's opened May with 13 scoreless innings. The right-hander is at a 3.67 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB through 49 innings over nine appearances (eight starts) this season. King is penciled in for a more favorable home matchup versus the Rockies his next time out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:34 pm
       
    • Excellent in no-decision
      Glasnow allowed a run on one hit and two walks while striking out 10 over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Friday.

      Advice: Glasnow was excellent, with the one hit against him being a Luis Campusano solo home run in the third inning. This was the fourth time this season Glasnow has struck out 10 or more batters, and it was also his fourth straight quality start. The right-hander trimmed his ERA to 2.53 with a 0.86 WHIP and a 73:15 K:BB over 57 innings across nine starts. Glasnow is dialed in, but his workload will be something to keep an eye on -- he's never pitched more than 120 innings in a season, often due to injuries. He's projected to make his next start in San Francisco. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:29 pm
       
    • Tyler Glasnow whiffs 10 again in no-decision
      Tyler Glasnow struck out 10 while allowing just one run in seven innings against the Padres on Friday, but he didn’t factor into the decision.

      Advice: Glasnow and King were both outstanding Friday, and both come out of the effort with hard-luck no-decisions. Glasnow allowed just one hit, but that one hit was a solo homer from Luis Campusano in the third inning. This makes back-to-back starts for Glasnow where he’s gotten double-digit strikeouts, and he improved his K/BB to 73/15 with the aforementioned punchouts and two free passes. Expect Glasnow to pitch well again in his next outing, scheduled Wednesday against the Giants in San Francisco. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:58 pm
       
    • Michael King allows two hits, whiffs 11 vs. LAD
      Michael King struck out 11 over seven scoreless innings against the Dodgers on Friday.

      Advice: Sensational. King was excellent against the Diamondbacks on Saturday, but this was a different level for the 28-year-old. He did walk three, but he threw 74-of-106 pitches for strikes and was able to get the punchout if there was even a sniff of trouble. The right-hander now has a 3.67 ERA and 54/24 K/BB, and he’s shown why the Padres were adamant about acquiring his services in the Juan Soto trade. Sadly, King doesn’t get a win because his bullpen blew a 1-0 lead after he left. He should keep the good run going against the Rockies at home next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:58 pm
