  • Sitting down Saturday
    Schneider isn't in Toronto's lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Schneider has gone just 2-for-17 with six strikeouts over his last seven games and will get a chance to regroup while he sits out Saturday's game. In the meantime, Daulton Varsho, Kevin Kiermaier and George Springer will start across the Blue Jays' outfield. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:35 am
     
  • Idle Saturday
    Mateo isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Mateo will get a day off Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener. His absence will move Jordan Westburg over to second base while Ramon Urias starts at third, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:38 am
     
  • Taking seat Saturday
    McKinstry isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game versus Cincinnati.

    Advice: McKinstry has failed to record a base hit in 14 at-bats over his last five contests, and he'll now sit down for the second game in a row Saturday. Ryan Kreidler will start instead at shortstop and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:31 am

  • Swipes bag in Friday's loss
    Brujan went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: The 26-year-old infielder has started four straight games at second base due to Otto Lopez (back) being on the injured list, but Friday's two-bagger was Brujan's first hit in 15 at-bats during that stretch. He did display some speed earlier in his career, swiping 55 bags between Single-A and High-A in 2018 while still in the Rays system, but Brujan doesn't get on base often enough to show whether he still has that in his arsenal. Through 174 plate appearances this season, he's slashing just .222/.293/.323 with a homer, eight RBI, 20 runs and three steals in six attempts. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:49 am
     
  • Gleyber Torres out Saturday with groin injury
    Gleyber Torres (groin) is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Torres could be available off the bench on Saturday afternoon following an early exit from Friday’s game against the Red Sox due to right groin tightness after legging out a fourth-inning infield single. The 27-year-old infielder has been playing through a lingering minor groin issue for the last few weeks. It’ll be Oswaldo Cabrera at the keystone in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Saturday, 7:15 am
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Torres (groin) isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Torres made an early exit from Friday's game due to groin tightness. Although he won't start Saturday, the Yankees are hopeful that the 27-year-old will be available off the bench, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Oswaldo Cabrera will get the nod at the keystone and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:11 am
     
  • Goes deep twice Friday
    Keith went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three total RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

    Advice: Keith hit a solo blast in the third inning, then followed that up with a two-run shot in the fifth. The 22-year-old now has seven home runs this season, with four of them coming in the last 10 games. During that stretch, he's batting .286 with a .945 OPS. Keith seems to be delivering on his prospect potential after a slow start to the year, and he could be a difference maker in fantasy leagues the rest of the way if he keeps this up.

  • Ketel Marte day-to-day with back tightness
    Ketel Marte is day-to-day after leaving Friday’s game against the Padres with back tightness.

    Advice: If he can’t play Saturday, then the Diamondbacks will use Kevin Newman at second base, since they sent down their best alternative, Blaze Alexander, earlier this week. The 30-year-old secured his second All-Star Game selection earlier this week and will start at second base for the senior circuit in the Midsummer Classic. Rotoworld Friday, 10:19 pm
