  • Lands on injured list
    The Yankees placed Trevino on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left quad strain.

    Advice: Trevino hurt his quad while running to home plate in the ninth inning of Friday's contest, and he'll now be out until at least July 23 as a result. Carlos Narvaez will come up from Triple-A to fill in as Austin Wells' backup at catcher. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:23 am
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Rogers will take a seat against Justin Wrobleski and the Dodgers on Saturday after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Carson Kelly will get the nod behind the plate and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:04 am
     
  • Salvador Perez makes early exit on Friday night
    Salvador Perez was removed from Friday’s game against the Red Sox due to a hamstring cramp.

    Advice: Perez left Friday’s contest in the eighth inning, most likely out of an abundance of caution, after going 1-for-3 with a pair of RBI in Kansas City’s eventual win at Fenway Park. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now, especially since Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters afterwards that Perez should be fine moving forward.

  • Goes deep again
    Melendez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Melendez has turned the corner a bit with three homers over his last four games. The slugger is up to 11 long balls this year, though he remains at a lackluster .196/.259/.392 slash line through 83 contests. Melendez has added 28 RBI, 26 runs scored, two stolen bases, 14 doubles and two triples. Despite his struggles at the plate, he's still the Royals' primary left fielder. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:40 pm

  • Jose Trevino leaves game with quad injury Friday
    Jose Trevino was removed from Friday’s game against the Orioles with a quad injury.

    Advice: The Yankees announced after the game that Trevino was receiving treatment and that the 31-year-old backstop would be re-evaluated on Saturday. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to be in Saturday’s lineup, though the timing of the All-Star break may wind up saving him from a stint on the injured list. Rotoworld Friday, 8:16 pm
     
  • Injures quad Friday
    Trevino suffered a quadriceps injury during Friday's win over the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Trevino was replaced behind the dish in the ninth inning after scoring a run in the top of the frame, and he was later seen limping out of the dugout during a bench-clearing scrum between the two teams. He's slated to undergo an evaluation Saturday, at which point the Yankees will have a better idea of how much time -- if any -- the 31-year-old backstop will miss. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:37 pm
     
  • MJ Melendez homers for third time in four games
    MJ Melendez hit his third homer in four games Friday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: May 10 was the last time Melendez finished a game with an average over .200, but that might change soon. Since bottoming out at .158 on June 13, he’s hit .300 with four homers in his last 23 games, pushing him back up to .196. Rotoworld Friday, 7:21 pm

  • Exits due to cramps
    Perez was removed from Friday's game against the Red Sox due to cramping.

    Advice: The Royals didn't specify where exactly Perez was hurting, but he was apparently in enough discomfort to warrant his removal in the eighth inning. His status for Saturday's contest is unclear, though it's possible he receives a day off in order to manage the issue. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:32 pm
     
  • Sitting Friday
    Jansen isn't in Toronto's lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Jansen will get a breather during Friday's series opener after going 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Giants. Alejandro Kirk will get the nod at catcher and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:07 pm
