  • Hoskins has two-run double against Nats Saturday
    Rhys Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a run scored, a double and two RBI against the Nationals.

    Advice: Hoskins hit a two-run double off Mitchell Parker in the first inning. He came around to score on a double by Andrew Monasterio later in the inning. Hoskins is hitting .215 with a .722 OPS and 46 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:51 pm
     
  • Dominic Smith drives in two against Royals in win
    Dominic Smith went 2-for-4 with two runs driven in against the Royals on Saturday.

    Advice: Both RBI for Smith came in the third, as he hit a two-run single off a surprisingly ineffective Seth Lugo to extend Boston’s lead to 4-0. The former top prospect has not been terribly effective thus far, as this solid day still has his slash at .226/.315/.345 with one game left before the All-Star break.

  • Battling sore wrist
    Canha was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to right wrist soreness, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Canha reached base on an error and scored during the second inning of Saturday's victory, but Jake Rogers entered to pinch hit for him in the fourth. Canha's status for Sunday's series finale remains unclear, though the Tigers may opt to sit him so that he'll have plenty of time to heal during the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Saturday, 1:55 pm

  • Alec Burleson slugs three-run homer in blowout win
    Alec Burleson went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI in the Cardinals 11-3 victory over the Cubs on Saturday.

    Advice: Burleson knocked a base hit in the first inning and scored on an error. He then capped off a nine-run opening frame with a three-run blast off Hayden Wesneski. Burleson added a double in the third inning and was later replaced by Matt Carpenter with the Cardinals comfortably ahead in the blowout win. The 25-year-old outfielder is slashing .288/.322/.485 with 16 homers, 51 RBI, and seven steals across 332 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:48 pm
     
  • Mark Canha leaves game with left wrist soreness
    Mark Canha was removed from Saturday’s contest against the Dodgers due to soreness in his left wrist.

    Advice: Speculation ran rampant as Canha was pulled in the fourth inning that he may have been involved in a trade, but it’s an injury that forced his early exit. The Tigers don’t sound overly concerned about the injury, but don’t be surprised if the 35-year-old gets an extra day to rest on Sunday with the All-Star break coming up. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:36 pm

  • Remains sidelined Saturday
    Miranda (back) isn't in the Twins' lineup for Saturday's game versus San Francisco.

    Advice: Miranda was scratched from Minnesota's lineup ahead of Friday's contest due to back stiffness, and he'll need at least another day to recover before returning to the starting nine. In his absence, Matt Wallner will serve as the Twins' DH and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 12:29 pm

  • Mark Canha makes early exit Saturday vs. Dodgers
    Mark Canha made an early exit from Saturday’s game against the Dodgers with a possible injury.

    Advice: Canha has been playing through a lingering hip issue and was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the fourth inning. The veteran outfielder may have aggravated the issue when he raced home on a run-scoring double from rookie Colt Keith back in the second inning. We’ll see. Rotoworld Saturday, 11:26 am

  • Jose Miranda out again Saturday with back issue
    Jose Miranda (back) remains absent from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Giants.

    Advice: Clearly, the Twins don’t want to take any chances here after Miranda, who is batting an absurd .400 (42-for-105) with three homers, 23 RBI and one steal over his last 30 games, was scratched from Friday’s series opener in San Francisco due to back stiffness. It’ll be rookie sensation Brooks Lee at the keystone and backup catcher Christian Vásquez manning the hot corner in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

  • Salvador Perez (hamstring) in Saturday’s lineup
    Salvador Perez (hamstring) is in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Perez is back at designated hitter and batting cleanup on Saturday afternoon following an early departure from Friday’s series opener due to a hamstring cramp. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward as he should benefit from an extended layoff during next week’s All-Star break. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:31 am
