  • Andrew Benintendi leaves early with Achilles issue
    Andrew Benintendi was pulled from Saturday afternoon’s matchup against the Brewers due to left Achilles tendinitis.

    Advice: Benintendi got the White Sox on the board in the third inning with a 397-foot blast off of Robert Gasser. Perhaps he irritated something on the swing or while rounding the bases though, as he was replaced by Dominic Fletcher when the White Sox took the field. The club should have an update on his status — and potential timeline for his return — after the game. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
     
  • Leaves early Saturday
    Benintendi exited Saturday's contest against the Brewers in the bottom of the third inning with left Achilles tendinitis.

    Advice: Benintendi launched a solo home run off Robert Gasser in the top of the third inning, delivering the White Sox an early 1-0 lead, before leaving the game in the bottom half of the frame. Dominic Fletcher took over in the outfield and more information on Benintendi's status will likely come following the contest. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Idle versus southpaw
    Fraley isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: With lefty starter Justin Steele set to toe the slab for Chicago, the lefty-hitting Fraley will step out of the lineup Saturday. His absence will move Tyler Stephenson into the DH role while Luke Maile starts behind the plate, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:52 pm
     
  • 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
     
  • On bench versus lefty
    Canzone is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Angels.

    Advice: Canzone will get a breather as the Mariners face off with southpaw Reid Detmers. Mitch Garver will draw the start at designated hitter and bat seventh versus Los Angeles. Rotowire.com Today, 1:35 pm
     
  • 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

  • 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

  • Takes seat Saturday
    Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Although the Padres are set to face right-hander Alec Marsh on Saturday, Peralta will sit on the bench while Donovan Solano serves as San Diego's designated hitter and bats sixth. Peralta has gone just 3-for-15 with seven strikeouts since joining the Friars on May 22. Rotowire.com Today, 12:08 pm
     
  • Remains sidelined Saturday
    Donovan (neck) isn't in the Cardinals' lineup Saturday against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Neck stiffness caused Donovan to be scratched from St. Louis' lineup before Friday's contest, and the issue seems to still be bothering him Saturday. Alec Burleson, Mike Siani and Dylan Carlson will start across the outfield while Donovan sits, allowing Jose Fermin to serve as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 11:58 am
