    • Swanson has three hits in loss Saturday
      Dansby Swanson went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and an RBI against the Reds on Saturday.

      Advice: Swanson brought his average up to .220 with the three-hit effort. He’s following up a down season last year, when he hit .244, with even worse production this year. His 27 percent strikeout percentage would be the highest of his career and his .147 ISO would be the lowest. Maybe Saturday is the start of a turnaround for Swanson, but there haven’t been a lot of positives for him this season. Rotoworld Today, 4:07 pm
       
    • Manny Machado (hip) remains out of Padres lineup
      Manny Machado (hip) was held out of the Padres’ starting lineup for the third consecutive game on Saturday.

      Advice: Unlike the previous two days though, Machado did participate in a full pregame workout with the team, indicating that his return is imminent. He should once again be available off the bench if needed on Saturday. Donovan Solano will start in his place at third base and bat fifth for the Brewers against Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks on Saturday evening in Arizona. Rotoworld Today, 3:16 pm

    • Sitting out third straight
      Machado (hip) isn't in the Padres' lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Machado will miss his third start in a row Saturday, although he was able to participate in pregame drills for the first time since straining his right hip flexor Wednesday, per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Donovan Solano will continue to fill in for Machado at third base, batting fifth against right-hander Ryne Nelson. Rotowire.com Today, 3:12 pm

    • Battling illness
      Moreno was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to illness but will be available off the bench, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

      Advice: Moreno and Ketel Marte (back) were both late scratches Saturday, but the pair will be available to enter off the bench. Tucker Barnhart will catch and bat ninth. The D-Backs will finish their series with the Padres on Sunday before a team off day Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 pm
       
    • Gabriel Moreno (illness) scratched from lineup
      Gabriel Moreno was scratched from the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup on Saturday due to illness.

      Advice: The 24-year-old backstop was feeling a bit under the weather, so manager Torey Lovullo opted to give him the night off. He is expected to be available off the bench and should return to the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup on Sunday. Rotoworld Today, 2:42 pm
       
    • Late scratch Saturday
      Moreno was scratched from the Diamondbacks' lineup prior to Saturday's game against the Padres.

      Advice: No word yet on why Moreno was taken out of the lineup, but the Diamondbacks will likely give an update on his status in the near future. In the meantime, Tucker Barnhart will catch for Ryne Nelson and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:30 pm
       
    • Luis Robert Jr. gets day off Saturday vs. Red Sox
      Luis Robert Jr. is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: It appears to be a routine maintenance day for Robert, who has started four consecutive games for the White Sox since returning earlier this week from a lengthy stay on the injured list. There’s no reason for Chicago to push it from a health standpoint following an extended layoff, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Robert get some extra days off over the next few weeks to keep him fresh.

    • Not starting Saturday
      Robert is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

      Advice: Oscar Colas will shift to center field Saturday, while Zach DeLoach will start in right field against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. In four games since returning from the injured list, Robert has gone 3-for-16 with a pair of homers and eight strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 9:12 am
       
    • Ramping up activity
      Polanco (hamstring) has been ramping up baseball activities but will require a minor-league rehab assignment before activation, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The veteran infielder took full infield practice during the Mariners' three-game road trip in Oakland earlier in the week, and there were no reported setbacks. However, manager Scott Servais confirmed before Friday's series opener against the Royals that Polanco will require at least a brief rehab assignment, which could commence at Triple-A Tacoma in the coming days.
