    • Giants option David Villar to Triple-A on Saturday
      Giants optioned INF David Villar to Triple-A Sacramento.

      Advice: Villar heads back to the minors after a brief stint with the Giants where he batted .294 (5-for-17) with one homer and four RBI in 18 plate appearances over six games. The 27-year-old infielder figures to be back at some point later this summer, if needed due to injury. Rotoworld Today, 10:10 am

    • Out again Saturday
      Smith (glute) isn't in the Rangers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

      Advice: Smith missed four games in June due to glute tightness, and he'll be missing his second consecutive game Saturday due to the same injury. Jonathan Ornelas will pick up another start at third base and bat ninth while Smith continues to recover. Rotowire.com Today, 9:45 am

    • Josh Smith remains out Saturday with glute issue
      Josh Smith (lower body) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Rays.

      Advice: Smith remains on the bench to open Saturday’s showdown after sitting out Friday’s game against the Rays due to glute tightness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward, but the Rangers clearly don’t want to take any chances here. It’ll be Jonathan Ornelas drawing another start at the hot corner in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 9:43 am

    • Getting breather Saturday
      Morel isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Angels.

      Advice: Morel has put together a three-game hitting streak, though he has also struck out six times in 12 at-bats over that span. He'll take a day to rest Saturday while David Bote fills in at third base, batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:54 am

    • Swipes bag in Friday's loss
      Brujan went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the White Sox.

      Advice: The 26-year-old infielder has started four straight games at second base with Otto Lopez (back) on the IL, but Friday's two-bagger was Brujan's first hit in 15 at-bats during that stretch. He did display some speed earlier in his career, swiping 55 bags between Low-A and High-A in 2018 while still in the Rays' system, but Brujan doesn't get on base often enough to show whether he still has that in his arsenal. Through 174 plate appearances this season, he's slashing just .222/.293/.323 with a homer, eight RBI, 20 runs and three steals in six attempts. Rotowire.com Today, 8:49 am

    • Resting Saturday
      Sano isn't in the Angels' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cubs.

      Advice: Sano has been held hitless in 13 at-bats over his last four games, so he'll get a day off to regroup against Kyle Hendricks and the Cubs. His absence will allow Luis Guillorme to pick up a start at the hot corner while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:45 am

    • Goes yard again
      Riley went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's loss to the Phillies.

      Advice: Aaron Nola let a sinker catch too much of the plate in the fourth inning, and Riley drove it over the wall in center field for Atlanta's first runs of the night. The third baseman has an extra-base hit and at least one RBI in four straight games, and over his last 20 contests he's slashing .362/.438/.797 with six doubles, eight homers, 17 runs and 17 RBI.

    • Swipes 43rd bag
      De La Cruz went 1-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: It marked the first time since June 16 that the 22-year-old drew multiple free passes, while the stolen base was his league-leading 43rd of the year -- 15 ahead of second-place Brice Turang. De La Cruz can be streaky, but he's red hot right now, slashing .352/.417/.704 over his last 13 games with 10 extra-base hits (four doubles, three triples and three homers), six steals, eight RBI and 13 runs.

    • Goes deep twice Friday
      Keith went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three total RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Keith hit a solo blast in the third inning, then followed that up with a two-run shot in the fifth. The 22-year-old now has seven home runs this season, with four of them coming in the last 10 games. During that stretch, he's batting .286 with a .945 OPS. Keith seems to be delivering on his prospect potential after a slow start to the year, and he could be a difference maker in fantasy leagues the rest of the way if he keeps this up.
