  • Resting against lefty
    Wade isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With the Giants set to face lefty Martin Perez on Saturday, the lefty-hitting Wade will stay put in the dugout to begin the game. Wilmer Flores will start at first base instead and bat second. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
  • Gets a breather Saturday
    Ramirez is not in the Rays' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Ramirez has started in each of the Rays' last four games, going 4-for-16 with two runs and a stolen base over that span. With Ramirez out of the lineup, Isaac Paredes will shift over to DH for Saturday's game, while Austin Shenton draws the start at first base with Yandy Diaz sitting due to a left pinky injury.

  • MRI comes back clean
    Imaging on Cobb's right shoulder came back negative Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Cobb was pulled off his throwing progression a few days ago after experiencing soreness in his shoulder, but he doesn't appear to be dealing with any structural damage. The 36-year-old veteran was moved to the 60-day IL last Saturday as he continues to work his way back from an offseason hip procedure, and he's also battled elbow problems during his rehab process. He will be eligible to return beginning May 27, though it's unclear whether or not he will be ready to go by then. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Exits with cramps
    Glasnow was removed from his start Saturday against the Blue Jays due to cramping in his right hand, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Advice: Glasnow didn't appear to be in significant pain when he was removed during the seventh inning of Saturday's contest, so his removal was likely precautionary. The Dodgers will monitor his situation, but it doesn't seem like the 30-year-old righty is at risk of missing his next start. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Alex Cobb MRI reveals no structural damage
    The Giants announced Saturday that the MRI on the injured shoulder of right-hander Alex Cobb did not show any structural damage.

    Advice: The Giants are hopeful that his discomfort will start to lessen soon and he’ll be able to resume his throwing program. There’s still no clear timeline for when we may see the 36-year-old hurler back on a big league mound, but this is at least a bit of encouraging news. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago

  • Miguel Sanó (knee) absent from Angels lineup
    Miguel Sanó (knee) is absent from the Angels’ starting lineup for Saturday’s skirmish against the Twins.

    Advice: The 30-year-old slugger was pulled from Wednesday’s game due to soreness in his left knee, but did return to the lineup on Friday. Perhaps this is just the Angels’ easing him back into action and not pushing him too hard. Luis Rengifo will start in his place at the hot corner and bat eighth against Chris Paddack and the Twins on Saturday evening in Los Angeles. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago

  • Idle against lefty
    Frelick isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: The left-handed bat of Frelick will step out of the lineup Saturday as the Brewers prepare to face lefty Carlos Rodon. Joey Wiemer will fill in as Milwaukee's left fielder and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

  • Brewers option Jared Koenig back to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned LHP Jared Koenig to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Koenig has done a terrific job in his limited action with the Brewers this season, picking up a pair of victories and posting a 1.04 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a 4/2 K/BB ratio over 8 2/3 innings in his five appearances. He worked two innings in Friday’s victory over the Yankees though and wasn’t going to be available for a few days, and with the need for a fresh arm in the bullpen he became an unfortunate roster casualty. It shouldn’t take long for Koenig to earn another shot with the Brewers. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
  • Resting against lefty
    Turang isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Yankees.

    Advice: Turang will sit down to begin the game as left-hander Carlos Rodon prepares to start on the mound for New York. Joey Ortiz will slide over to second base as a result, allowing Owen Miller to pick up a start at the hot corner and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
