  • Rafael Devers drives in go-ahead runs in eighth
    Rafael Devers hit a two-run double to help the Red Sox to a 4-2 win over the Nationals on Saturday.

    Advice: Devers turned a 2-2 game into a 4-2 lead for the Red Sox with a two-run double in the eighth. The 27-year-old third baseman also singled, and the pair of hits ups his line to .288/.403/.481 with 14 RBI. The power leaves a bit to be desired — if only because of lofty expectations — but Devers’ track-record suggests he’ll be among the best at his position again in 2024. Even if he maintained those numbers fantasy managers wouldn’t complain all that much. Rotoworld Today, 3:28 pm
     
  • Not starting Saturday
    Freeman is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Freeman broke a three-game hitless streak during Friday's 6-3 loss when he swatted a solo home run, his first since April 19. Ramon Laureano will start in center field Saturday and bat sixth against White Sox right-hander Mike Clevinger. Rotowire.com Today, 1:04 pm

  • Progressing through rehab
    Urshela (hamstring) was with the Tigers doing glovework drills Saturday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Urshela has played two games in his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo. He played at third base in his last outing Friday and went 1-for-3. Urshela is scheduled to play for Toledo on Sunday as he continues to work his way back from a strained right hamstring he sustained April 19 against the Twins. Rotowire.com Today, 11:36 am

  • Takes batting practice Saturday
    LeMahieu (foot) participated in batting practice Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu traveled with the team to Tampa Bay and hit off JT Brubaker on Saturday. LeMahieu continues to ramp up his activities as he works his way back from the non-displaced right foot fracture he sustained in spring training. The veteran infielder could be close to starting a rehab assignment, barring any setbacks. LeMahieu made a rehab appearance April 23 with Double-A Somerset, but he was pulled from the game after the first inning due to swelling in his right foot. Rotowire.com Today, 11:07 am

  • To IL with back issue
    Hayes was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a back issue, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Hayes hasn't played since Tuesday amid a 3-for-30 slump, and perhaps the back issue is part of the reason he's only hit one home run in 35 games. Alika Williams is getting the call from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 11:03 am

  • Ke’Bryan Hayes to IL with back inflammation
    Pirates placed 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes on the 10-day injured list with back inflammation.

    Advice: So much for it being a non-issue. Clearly, the Pirates don’t want to take any chances here after Hayes missed a couple contests earlier this week with a lingering back issue. The 27-year-old will likely wind up missing at least a couple weeks to ensure that it doesn’t become a recurring issue. Rotoworld Today, 10:35 am
