  • Sitting as expected
    Rodgers (hamstring) isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Rodgers had to be taken out of Friday's game after his hamstring tightened up on him while running to first base in the fourth inning. The Rockies said the 27-year-old would require treatment for a couple of days, so Alan Trejo will take over at second base and bat ninth Saturday. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Dean Kremer (triceps) might skip rehab assignment
    Dean Kremer (triceps) will throw a bullpen session this week.

    Advice: Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Kremer is trending in the right direction and they’ll wait until after his next throwing session before determining whether he’ll require a minor league rehab assignment. The 28-year-old righty hit the injured list back in late May with a triceps strain. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Rockies designate Matt Carasiti for assignment
    Rockies designated RHP Matt Carasiti for assignment.

    Advice: Carasiti has been jettisoned from Colorado’s 40-man roster after surrendering five runs over his last two relief appearances this week against the Cardinals. The 32-year-old righty reliever holds a calamitous 10.38 ERA, 2.19 WHIP and 7/3 K/BB ratio across 8 2/3 innings (seven appearances) this season in the majors. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago
     
  • Recalled to Atlanta
    Atlanta recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

    Advice: With Jimmy Herget (shoulder) headed for the injured list, Hernandez will rejoin Atlanta's bullpen to replenish the team's bullpen depth. The 27-year-old righty appeared in two games during his first big-league stint earlier in the year, throwing two scoreless innings while striking out one batter and walking one. He boasts a 2.29 ERA in 19.2 frames at Triple-A and figures to be used in middle relief while in Atlanta. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
     
  • Steven Matz to make rehab start Tuesday at Double-A
    Steven Matz (back) will make another minor league rehab start on Tuesday for Double-A Springfield.

    Advice: Matz struck out two over a pair of scoreless frames on Thursday in his rehab assignment debut for Triple-A Memphis and will continue building up his pitch count and stamina this upcoming week in the minors. The 33-year-old lefty has been out since mid-May recovering from a back injury. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago

  • Placed on injured list
    Atlanta placed Herget on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, retroactive to Thursday.

    Advice: Herget struck out two batters and gave up a solo home run during his most recent outing Wednesday, and he appears to have come away from the game with a shoulder injury. He'll remain sidelined until at least June 21, and Daysbel Hernandez will come up from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill Herget's spot in the bullpen. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Jeffers is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Jeffers has gone 0-for-16 with six strikeouts over his last five games, and he is down to .234/.323/.500 over 218 plate appearances this season. Christian Vazquez will start behind home plate Saturday and bat ninth against Pirates right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
     
  • Braves recall Daysbel Hernández on Saturday
    Braves recalled RHP Daysbel Hernández from Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: Hernández rejoins Atlanta’s bullpen mix with Jimmy Herget (shoulder) landing on the injured list ahead of Saturday’s showdown against the Nationals. The 27-year-old righty has made a pair of relief appearances this season in the big leagues. He figures to operate in middle relief and can be safely ignored for fantasy purposes.

  • Resting versus lefty
    Crow-Armstrong isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Reds.

    Advice: Southpaw Andrew Abbott will start on the bump for Cincinnati, meaning the lefty-hitting Crow-Armstrong will begin Saturday's contest on the bench. Cody Bellinger will start in center field with Michael Busch at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:08 am
