  • Sitting versus lefty
    Benson isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Benson will retreat to the dugout as the lefty-throwing Justin Steele prepares to toe the slab Saturday. Stuart Fairchild will fill the void in right field and bat in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 1:49 pm
     
  • Vaughn Grissom leaves game with apparent injury
    Vaughn Grissom was removed from Saturday’s battle against the Tigers in the third inning with an apparent injury.

    Advice: It looked like the 23-year-old infielder may have tweaked something while running out a ground ball in the second inning. He was then replaced defensively at second base by Connor Wong when the Red Sox took the field to begin the third inning. Expect the team to provide an update on his status shortly.

  • Mark Canha (hip) expected to return on Sunday
    Mark Canha (hip) is expected to return to the Tigers’ lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Canha sat out his second straight game on Saturday with the hip issue, but the training staff believe it’s something that he can manage and play through rather than something that’s going to require a trip to the injured list. He told reporters on Saturday, “Just happens when you get to be 35... I’ve never had this injury before, so it’s new. The same thing happens with me every year. You never know what’s going to pop up as you get older.” He’s considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 1:18 pm

  • Scratched from lineup
    Abrams was scratched from the Nationals' lineup prior to Saturday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Abrams said that he jammed his shoulder while making a diving play during Friday's loss, per Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com, and it seems to be bothering him enough Saturday to warrant a day off. While Abrams recovers, Ildemaro Vargas will take over at shortstop and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:30 pm

  • CJ Abrams scratched Saturday with shoulder issue
    CJ Abrams has been scratched from the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Guardians due to shoulder soreness.

    Advice: It’s worth noting that Abrams remained in during Friday’s contest after jamming his shoulder attempting to make a play defensively. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but the Nationals clearly don’t want to take any chances here and are holding him out for precautionary reasons. The 23-year-old emerging star has been in a rut the last few days, going hitless (0-for-14) with eight strikeouts over his last three games. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld Today, 12:28 pm

  • Expects to play Sunday
    Canha (hip) expects to play a full game Sunday versus the Red Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Canha is dealing with a psoas strain in his left hip and his ability to return to the lineup Sunday will be a big test for his status moving forward. If he suffers a setback, the 35-year-old will likely head to the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 12:25 pm

    Advice: Schanuel remains on the bench for Saturday’s contest after being scratched from Friday’s lineup due to left thumb soreness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern at the moment. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 12:19 pm
