  • Gets left knee checked out
    Sano went to have his sore left knee examined Saturday afternoon, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Sano was in the starting lineup Friday after battling soreness in the knee for several days, but his knee "flared up again" after two at-bats, per manager Ron Washington. The Angels have not provided an update as of Saturday evening, and it's especially concerning given that Sano's left knee is what cost him the better part of the last two seasons. Sano got off to a decent start with the Angels and went yard last weekend for his first MLB homer in over two years, but his status is up in the air at the moment. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago

  • Plates two, steals base
    Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with two RBI while netting his first stolen base of the season in Saturday's 7-4 victory over the Mets.

    Advice: Goldschmidt one-hopped a two-run double off the wall as part of a four-run first inning for the Cardinals. He also added an infield single, a stolen base and another run scored. The former MVP did also strike out three times Saturday and has fanned at an elevated 30.1 percent. The production on the whole has ticked up over the past week, though, with Goldschmidt going 9-for-27 (.333) with one home run and four RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 5:04 pm
     
  • Paul Goldschmidt drives in two in win over Mets
    Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI, and a stolen base to lead the Cardinals to a 7-4 win over the Mets.

    Advice: Goldschmidt seems to be warming up at the plate. He collected two hits on Saturday for his third multi-hit game in his last five contests. Goldschmidt drove in two runs with a double in the first inning and scored on a base hit by Masyn Winn. He singled in the fifth and swiped second for his first stolen base of the season before scoring on a balk. The 36-year-old first baseman is slashing .214/.306/.296 with two homers and 11 RBI across 113 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 4:37 pm

  • Red Sox move Triston Casas to 60-day IL
    Red Sox transferred 1B Triston Casas to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: The team needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Garrett Cooper, and Casas made logical sense after it was reported that he’s dealing with torn cartilage in his ribs and could be sidelined for up to nine weeks. He won’t be eligible to return until the end of June. Rotoworld Today, 4:09 pm

  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Red Sox transferred Casas (ribs) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Casas was diagnosed with a cartilage tear in his left ribcage Friday, and it will officially cost him at least two months as he moves to the 60-day IL. The 24-year-old first baseman was optimistic Friday about returning to the lineup before the end of the season, but there is no telling when that might be, given the wide range of recovery timelines that come with his sort of injury. His roster spot will be given to Garrett Cooper, who was acquired from the Cubs on Saturday in exchange for cash and figures to take over as Boston's primary first baseman while Casas is out.

    Advice: Mountcastle’s only hit of the day left the yard, going back-to-back with Adley Rutchman for a solo homer in the fifth inning off JP Sears. It was the second home run of the season for the 27-year-old first baseman to go with a .299/.364/.483 slash line and 12 RBI across 99 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 3:28 pm
     
  • Resting against lefty
    Wade isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With the Giants set to face lefty Martin Perez on Saturday, the lefty-hitting Wade will stay put in the dugout to begin the game. Wilmer Flores will start at first base instead and bat second. Rotowire.com Today, 3:01 pm
     
  • Miguel Sanó (knee) absent from Angels lineup
    Miguel Sanó (knee) is absent from the Angels’ starting lineup for Saturday’s skirmish against the Twins.

    Advice: The 30-year-old slugger was pulled from Wednesday’s game due to soreness in his left knee, but did return to the lineup on Friday. Perhaps this is just the Angels’ easing him back into action and not pushing him too hard. Luis Rengifo will start in his place at the hot corner and bat eighth against Chris Paddack and the Twins on Saturday evening in Los Angeles. Rotoworld Today, 2:29 pm
