  • Exits with right knee injury
    Morel was removed from Saturday's game versus the Pirates in the fifth inning with right knee soreness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Morel looked to hurt the knee on a stolen base attempt in the top of the third inning. He remained in the game initially but was removed for a pinch hitter following a rain delay. The Cubs could have more on Morel's condition after the game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:11 pm
     
  • Christopher Morel leaves game with apparent injury
    Christopher Morel was removed from Saturday’s game against the Pirates with an apparent knee injury.

    Advice: Morel appeared to injure himself while sliding into second base on a stolen base attempt in the third inning. He remained in the game for another inning defensively, but after a lengthy rain delay, he was replaced by a pinch hitter with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. Expect the Cubs to provide an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:09 pm
     
  • Ketel Marte hits two-run homer vs. Orioles
    Ketel Marte hit a two-run homer against the Orioles on Saturday in an extra-innings loss.

    Advice: Marte hit a two-run homer off John Means in the third. That’s the ninth homer of the season for the 30-year-old veteran, and he’s plated 21 runs over the first six weeks of the season. Marte has slowed down slightly, but a .294/.345/.550 slash is nothing to sneeze at. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:20 pm
     
  • Jordan Westburg hits walk-off single in 11th
    Jordan Westburg hit a walk-off single while going 4-for-5 to give the Orioles to a 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks in the 11th inning Saturday.

    Advice: Westburg singled home Colton Cowser to give Baltimore the victory. The infielder added two more singles and a double while increasing his average to .301 with an .867 OPS. If fantasy managers haven’t already, it’s time to take Westburg seriously. He can really hit. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:20 pm
     
  • Sits against lefty
    Massey is not in Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

    Advice: He'll sit against lefty Tyler Anderson, with Garrett Hampson getting the nod at the keystone. Massey is hitting .273 with two home runs and two doubles in nine games this month. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:35 pm
     
  • Davis Schneider homers, picks up three hits vs. MIN
    Davis Schneider went 3-for-4 with a homer, three runs scored and two RBI in a win over the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Schneider once again hit in the leadoff spot, and he looked comfortable doing it. The 25-year-old also stole his second base of the season, while the homer is the fourth of the season. George Springer (illness) did appear late in the game as a pinch-hitter, but considering how good Schneider has been and Springer, well, hasn’t, there’s a chance that Schneider remains at the top of the lineup for the foreseeable future.

  • Jake Cronenworth sits against Dodgers on Saturday
    Jake Cronenworth is not in the Padres’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s tilt against the Dodgers.

    Advice: A night after Cronenworth saw his 12-game hitting streak snapped, he’ll get a breather with left-hander James Paxton toeing the slab for the Dodgers. Luis Arraez will cover for him at first base while Jurickson Profar moves up to the third spot in the Padres’ lineup. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:26 pm
     
  • Riding pine vs. lefty
    Cronenworth is not in Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Cronenworth will head to the bench with lefty James Paxton on the hill for Los Angeles. Donovan Solano is starting at third base while Luis Arraez starts at first base and Manny Machado gets the nod at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:12 pm
     
  • Not starting Saturday
    Freeman is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Freeman broke a three-game hitless streak during Friday's 6-3 loss when he swatted a solo home run, his first since April 19. Ramon Laureano will start in center field Saturday and bat sixth against White Sox right-hander Mike Clevinger. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:04 pm
