    • Idle vs. lefty Saturday
      McNeil is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting McNeil will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout with the Pirates sending southpaw Bailey Falter to the mound. Jose Iglesias will start at second base and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 9:54 am

    • Nick Gordon out fifth straight game due to illness
      Nick Gordon (illness) remains absent from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the White Sox.

      Advice: Gordon hasn’t appeared in a game since last Saturday and will now miss his fifth straight game due to illness. It’s unclear whether he’s feeling well enough to be available off the bench, if needed. The timing is unfortunate since he was really starting to heat up at the dish, batting .286 (6-for-21) with one homer over his previous seven contests. Rotoworld Today, 9:40 am

    • Pops fifth homer
      McNeil went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Pirates.

      Advice: His third-inning shot off Paul Skenes opened the scoring on the night, but it proved to be a drop in the bucket as the Mets got routed 14-2. McNeil is quietly showing flickers of life at the plate -- two of his five homers on the season have come in the last eight games, and he's batting .250 (8-for-32) over that stretch. Even with that modest uptick in production, McNeil's .216 batting average and .585 OPS on the year are by far career worsts. Rotowire.com Today, 8:56 am

    • Getting breather Saturday
      Morel isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Angels.

      Advice: Morel has put together a three-game hitting streak, though he has also struck out six times in 12 at-bats over that span. He'll take a day to rest Saturday while David Bote fills in at third base, batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:54 am

    • Swipes seventh base Friday
      Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

      Advice: The Athletics strung together three singles as part of their five hits on the night, and Schuemann was able to parlay his one knock into his seventh stolen base of the season. The rookie has reached safely in seven of his last eight games, including four straight, a stretch that's resulted in a slight boost for his .229/.321/.330 slash line across the board and includes three of his steals for the campaign.

    • Homers in second straight game
      Steer went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Steer got the Reds on the board with a fifth-inning solo shot and later singled in a run in the ninth. It was the second straight game with a home run for Steer, who has 12 for the season and leads Cincinnati with 56 RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 6:14 am

    • 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 Yesterday, 10:19 pm
       
    • Nursing tight back
      Marte exited Friday's game against the Padres due to lower-back tightness, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

      Advice: Marte had gone 0-for-4 during Friday's loss before Randal Grichuk pinch hit for him in the ninth inning, and manager Torey Lovullo confirmed after the game that Marte's removal was due to a lingering back issue that has been bothering him for a while. He won't require any imaging, however, and the team is viewing him as day-to-day. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:09 pm
       
    • Spencer Steer goes deep in Friday’s loss to Tigers
      Spencer Steer went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI on Friday night as the Reds fell to the Tigers in the opening game of their three-game weekend series.

      Advice: Steer got the Reds on the board in the fifth inning with a mammoth 425-foot (106.1 mph EV) solo shot off of Reese Olson. He also plated a run with an RBI single off of Jason Foley in the ninth inning and scored on Nick Martini’s RBI triple. With his two-hit attack, the dynamic 26-year-old is now slashing .242/.334/.427 with 12 homers, 56 RBI and 13 stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:37 pm
