  • Participating in drills
    Suzuki (oblique) is set to do hitting and defensive drills Saturday with Cody Bellinger, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Suzuki suffered a right oblique strain April 14, and he was placed on the 10-day IL one day later. He was limited to light activity, but has since progressed to on-field batting practice. After his batting session Wednesday, Suzuki noted that he felt he was 80 percent recovered from his oblique strain and could begin a rehab assignment next week if he continues to progress, per Meghan Montemurro and LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune.

  • Increasing baseball activiteis
    Bellinger (ribs) is set to do hitting and defensive drills Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Bellinger landed on the 10-day IL on April 24 after fracturing his right rib against the Astros the day prior. It's a good sign that the 2019 NL MVP is taking the first step in his recovery, though Bellinger has more work to do before beginning a rehab assignment. In his absence, Pete Crow-Armstrong has served as the primary starter in center field and is slashing .259/.250/.444 with one home run and seven RBI over 29 plate appearances this season.

  • Bellinger, Suzuki participating in drills Saturday
    Cody Bellinger (rib) and Seiya Suzuki (oblique) are hitting and participating in defensive drills Saturday.

    Advice: Bellinger and Suzuki are key cogs of the Chicago offense, and both are working their way before from significant injuries. Both will need rehab assignments before they can return to the lineup, but it does appear both Suzuki and Bellinger could be back with the club before the end of May. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago

  • Quality start in no-decision
    Lorenzen allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters in six innings during Friday's loss to the Royals. He didn't factor into the decision.

    Advice: Despite allowing a fair amount of traffic on the bases, Lorenzen was able to keep the Royals' bats quiet for six innings outside of a fifth-inning solo home run off the bat of Hunter Renfroe. Lorenzen now sports a 3.52 ERA through across 23 innings through his first four starts, and he should have an opportunity to stay hot as he faces the A's in Oakland on Wednesday.

  • Plates three in victory
    Moniak went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer during Friday's win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Moniak's three-run homer in the fourth inning gave Los Angeles a 5-0 lead -- more than enough insurance as the Halos cruised to a 6-0 shutout. Despite his productive day at the plate Friday, the 25-year-old still only owns a .480 OPS through 71 plate appearances and isn't a recommended choice for fantasy managers.

  • Trevor Larnach out of lineup Saturday vs. Boston
    Trevor Larnach is not in the starting lineup for Saturday’s game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: The Twins are stacking their lineup with right-handed bats against left-hander Brennan Bernardino with seven hitters who will hit from the right-side. Ryan Jeffers will hit leadoff as the designated hitter, and Christian Vazquez will handle catching duties while hitting seventh. Rotoworld Today, 7:21 am
     
  • DFA'd by Yankees
    The Yankees designated Trammell for assignment Saturday.

    Advice: Trammell will be pushed off the 40-man roster in order to create room for Jon Berti (groin) to return from the injured list. The 26-year-old Trammell has now been DFA'd more times (3) than he's reached base (2) this season, though it's possible he gets claimed off waivers once again by a team in need of outfield depth.

  • Tallies three hits Friday
    Greene went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Greene was the only Detroit hitter to get anything going on Friday, as the team had just five hits overall. The outfielder could have had a bigger game if his teammates had come through, but he's still on a nice six-game hitting streak either way. During that span, Greene is batting a robust .435 with two home runs, four total runs scored and four RBI. It looks like the 23-year-old is primed for a big campaign.

  • Returns from IL
    The Yankees reinstated Berti (groin) from the injured list Saturday.

    Advice: Berti will return to the active roster after playing in three rehab games at Double-A Somerset, going 1-for-9 with three walks and a run scored while also stealing a base. His return gives New York additional depth at numerous positions and will cause Taylor Trammell to be designated for assignment in order to create a roster spot. Rotowire.com Today, 7:13 am
