  • Reds designate Austin Wynns for assignment
    Reds designated C Austin Wynns for assignment.

    Advice: Wynns was up for a couple days with Cincinnati as emergency catching depth with Tyler Stephenson not playing. The 33-year-old backstop will likely pass through waivers unclaimed and return to Triple-A Louisville as extra organizational depth. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:06 am

  • Chance to return Monday
    Davis (concussion) has resumed most baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Davis has been on the 7-day injured list since June 14 and had continued to experience some mild symptoms as of Friday. As a result, the earliest he will be activated from the IL is Monday, though his absence could extend beyond that. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:27 pm

  • Slugs homer in win
    Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Naylor snapped a 25-game homer drought dating back to May 4. The catcher has struggled at the plate for much of the campaign, but he's gone a respectable 6-for-23 (.261) over his last seven contests. With the Guardians carrying three catchers, Naylor's margin for error at the plate is thin -- he doesn't have the defensive skill of Austin Hedges or the offensive consistency of David Fry in his favor. Naylor is slashing .184/.253/.291 with four homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base over 174 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:12 pm
     
  • Tyler Soderstrom hits solo homer in blowout loss
    Tyler Soderstrom hit a solo homer in a blowout loss to the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Even in a blowout loss, Soderstrom was able to impress as he has for the overwhelming majority of June. What was a slash of .182/.308/.318 coming into the month now sits at .250/.353/.480, and the blast was his sixth homer of the season. Soderstrom was a first-round pick for a reason, and he deserves some attention from those who need help at the corner-infield spot. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:43 pm
     
  • Lands on IL
    The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained left thumb, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Moreno's X-rays came back negative after he exited Friday's game due to his injured thumb, but the damage seems to still be severe enough to warrant keeping him out for the next 10 days. While he recovers, Tucker Barnhart will take over as Arizona's primary catcher and Jose Herrera will come up from Triple-A Reno to provide additional depth at catcher. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:23 am

  • Diamondbacks put Gabriel Moreno (thumb) on IL
    Diamondbacks placed C Gabriel Moreno on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain.

    Advice: Arizona has clearly opted not to take any chances here and will shut Moreno down for at least the next couple days after he was lifted from Friday’s game against the Phillies with a left thumb sprain. The 24-year-old backstop doesn’t appear to be facing a lengthy absence since X-rays came back negative for any fractures, but the Diamondbacks can’t really afford to play shorthanded at catcher.

  • Gabriel Moreno (thumb) not in Saturday’s lineup
    Gabriel Moreno (thumb) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Moreno has had a down year this season, relative to fantasy managers’ lofty expectations, on the heels of a stellar postseason at the dish. However, it would be a significant loss for Arizona if he winds up requiring a trip to the injured list. The positive news here is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures after Moreno left Friday’s game against the Phillies with a left thumb sprain. He should be considered day-to-day for now.

  • Placed on IL
    The Cardinals placed Herrera on the 10-day injured list Saturday with lower-back tightness.

    Advice: Herrera's back issue forced him to miss both of St. Louis' last two games, and the Cardinals will now elect to shut him down for another week. Nick Raposo was selected from Triple-A Memphis to add depth behind the plate, though most starts will likely be given to Pedro Pages. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:16 am

  • Cards put Iván Herrera on IL with back tightness
    Cardinals placed C Iván Herrera on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 19, with lower back tightness.

    Advice: Herrera heads to the injured list after missing the last couple games for St. Louis due to a lingering back issue. It’s not a significant development for the Cardinals since rookie Pedro Pagés has pretty much overtaken Herrera for the starting catching duties. It shouldn’t be much longer before Willson Contreras (forearm) is back from the injured list, so it’s possible Herrera’s time in the majors is over for now. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:36 am
