  • Nick Senzel collects three hits, homers vs. Braves
    Nick Senzel went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored, and a walk to lead the Nationals to a 7-3 win over the Braves on Saturday.

    Advice: Senzel was perfect at the plate on Saturday, starting with a double to lead off the second. He’d come around to score on a base hit by CJ Abrams. Senzel then doubled in the fourth to plate bring a run in before launching a two-run homer off Dylan Lee in the sixth. He drew a walk in the eighth to reach in all four plate appearances. The 28-year-old third baseman is hitting a respectable .243/.352/.441 with six homers, 16 RBI, and one steal across 160 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 3:44 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
     
  • Colt Keith exits Saturday with left knee discomfort
    The Tigers announced that Colt Keith was pulled from Saturday’s game against the Brewers due to left knee discomfort.

    Advice: The rookie second baseman collided with outfielder Akil Baddoo while both were chasing a pop up into shallow right field. It sounds like he was fortunate to have avoided any serious injury, but he may end up needing a day or two before he’s ready to return to the Tigers’ lineup. Rotoworld Today, 3:13 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
     
  • Dealing with knee soreness
    Keith was removed from Saturday's game against Milwaukee with left knee discomfort, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Keith and Akil Baddoo collided in right field while running at full speed, but Keith took most of the impact and was removed from the contest during the third inning. Considering Keith was able to walk off the field without any assistance, it seems like he's dealing with a minor injury. Still, the Tigers will likely continue to evaluate him throughout Saturday evening. Detroit will finish its three-game series against the Brewers on Sunday before having a team day off Monday.

  • Called up by Halos
    Stefanic was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    Advice: Stefanic spent the first two months of the season on the injured list with a strained left quad but was activated in late May and assigned to Triple-A. At Salt Lake, he slashed .333/.431/.426 in 54 plate appearances and will now replace Kyren Paris on the Angels' active roster. Stefanic should mix in at second base until Brandon Drury (hamstring) returns from the IL. Rotowire.com Today, 2:30 pm
