  • Giants recall Brett Wisely on Saturday
    Giants recalled INF/OF Brett Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: Wisely provides San Francisco with some extra bench depth heading into Saturday’s contest against the Reds with veteran Austin Slater landing on the concussion injured list.

  • Starting at DH amid stiffness
    Marte is starting at designated hitter Saturday for the second day in a row due to his body feeling a little stiff, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: He socked his eighth home run of the season Friday to extend his hit streak to 11 games. Marte should return to the keystone once he feels right. Blaze Alexander has started each of the last two games at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:49 am
     
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    Williams was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Saturday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Ke'Bryan Hayes was placed on the injured list with a back issue, so Williams could see some reps in the infield in the short term. Williams was optioned Friday and never actually got into a Triple-A game. He has a .239/.271/.348 slash line with zero home runs and one steal in 51 plate appearances in the majors.

  • Takes batting practice Saturday
    LeMahieu (foot) participated in batting practice Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu traveled with the team to Tampa Bay and hit off JT Brubaker on Saturday. LeMahieu continues to ramp up his activities as he works his way back from the non-displaced right foot fracture he sustained in spring training. The veteran infielder could be close to starting a rehab assignment, barring any setbacks. LeMahieu made a rehab appearance April 23 with Double-A Somerset, but he was pulled from the game after the first inning due to swelling in his right foot. Rotowire.com Today, 11:07 am

  • Resting Saturday
    Torres is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Ray, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Torres will not start for the first time since April 20 against Tampa Bay, though he did pinch hit in that contest. Torres is 5-for-30 with five walks and a solo home run in May, and he is coming off an 0-for-4 outing with one strikeout in Friday's win. Oswaldo Cabrera will shift to second base Saturday, while Jon Berti gets the start at third. Rotowire.com Today, 10:46 am
     
  • Pirates recall Alika Williams on Saturday
    Pirates recalled INF Alika Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: Williams gets the call back to Pittsburgh with Ke’Bryan Hayes landing on the injured list with back inflammation. The 25-year-old infielder doesn’t offer any appeal for fantasy managers moving forward as he holds a .549 OPS with zero homers and one steal in 61 contests in the majors over the last two seasons.

  • Gleyber Torres on the bench Saturday vs. Rays
    Gleyber Torres is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Rays.

    Advice: Torres finds himself on the bench after a dreadful start to the month, batting .167 (5-for-30 with one homer in nine games since May 1. The 27-year-old second baseman’s underlying Statcast metrics have been some of the worst of his career and it’s difficult to pinpoint what exactly he needs to do to turn things around at the moment. It’ll be Oswaldo Cabrera taking a turn at the keystone on Saturday in his absence. Rotoworld Today, 10:16 am
     
  • Starting at DH on Saturday
    Grissom will be the designated hitter and bat fifth in Saturday's game against the Nationals, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: With Grissom shifting to DH on Saturday, David Hamilton will start at second base. Since making his major-league debut May 3, Grissom is 3-for-21 with one double and two RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 9:46 am
