  • Emerges from fall uninjured
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Morel "is fine" after exiting Saturday's game versus the Red Sox after the seventh inning following a fall in the outfield, CHGO Cubs reports.

    Advice: Morel toppled over left fielder Alexander Canario after making a running catch and landed hard on the ground. He looked to be in some pain and was removed from the game at that point. However, it sounds like he probably would've remained in if the score hadn't been so lopsided. It does not appear fantasy managers need to have any worries about Morel's status.

  • Not starting Saturday
    Miranda isn't in the Twins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Miranda will catch a breather Saturday after stringing together back-to-back multi-hit performances in his last two games. Kyle Farmer will get the nod at the hot corner instead and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

  • Miguel Sanó (knee) absent from Angels lineup
    Miguel Sanó (knee) is absent from the Angels’ starting lineup for Saturday’s skirmish against the Twins.

    Advice: The 30-year-old slugger was pulled from Wednesday’s game due to soreness in his left knee, but did return to the lineup on Friday. Perhaps this is just the Angels’ easing him back into action and not pushing him too hard. Luis Rengifo will start in his place at the hot corner and bat eighth against Chris Paddack and the Twins on Saturday evening in Los Angeles. Rotoworld Today, 2:29 pm

  • Available Saturday
    Diaz (hand) is not in the starting lineup but is available as a pinch hitter for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Diaz left Friday's game after taking a 99-mph fastball off his left pinky in the eighth inning. X-rays came back negative, and while he won't start Saturday, he will be available should the Rays need a right-handed bat. With Diaz in the dugout, lefty-hitting Austin Shenton will start at first base and bat in the cleanup spot against White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon. Rotowire.com Today, 1:55 pm

  • Yandy Diaz (hand) held out of lineup on Saturday
    Yandy Diaz (hand) was held out of the Rays’ starting lineup for Saturday’s contest against the White Sox.

    Advice: The hard-hitting 32-year-old infielder was drilled in the hand by a 99.3 mph fastball from Michael Kopech on Friday night. While he was fortunate to avoid any fractures in the ordeal, he’s still dealing with some soreness and swelling and may need to miss a couple of games even if he does avoid a trip to the injured list. Austin Shenton will start in his place at first base and bat cleanup against Jonathan Cannon and the White Sox. Rotoworld Today, 1:54 pm

    Advice: Ibanez has played two games in Triple-A as part of his rehab assignment, going 3-for-6 with two doubles and one RBI over that span.

  • Returns to lineup Saturday
    Senzel (illness) will serve as the Nationals' designated hitter Saturday against the Marlins.
