  • Not starting Saturday
    Garcia is not in the Rangers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Garcia will begin Saturday's game in the dugout. His last rest day was April 16 against the Tigers, though he did pinch hit for Jared Walsh in the ninth inning. Lefty-hitting Travis Jankowski will start in right field Saturday and bat eighth against Reds right-hander Hunter Greene. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Back in lineup
    Jones (back) is starting in left field Saturday against the Astros.

    Advice: Back stiffness caused Jones to exit Tuesday's game early and has kept him sidelined for the Rockies' last two games. Now seemingly healthy, the 25-year-old will look to turn things around at the dish after starting the year with a .469 OPS through 96 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 11:22 am

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

    Advice: A stomach illness has kept Senzel from playing in Washington's last two games, but the issue appears to have subsided prior to Saturday's contest. The 28-year-old is slashing .200/.259/.440 with two homers across 27 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:15 am

  • Starting Saturday as 27th man
    The Astros appointed Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land to be the 27th man for the two-game series against the Rockies in Mexico City, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

    Advice: Houston was given permission to add a 27th man for its two-game series in Mexico City. The Astros opted to call up Cabbage, who will start in left field Saturday and bat seventh against Rockies right-hander Cal Quantrill. Cabbage played 22 games in the majors last season with the Angels, slashing .208/.321/.553 with three doubles, one stolen base, one home run and seven RBI over 56 plate appearances.

  • Nolan Jones in lineup for Mexico City opener
    Nolan Jones (back) has returned to the lineup for Saturday’s Mexico City series opener against the Astros.

    Advice: Jones is back in left field and batting seventh for Saturday’s showdown in Mexico City’s high-octane offensive environment after sitting out a pair of contests earlier this week due to back stiffness. The 25-year-old outfielder has struggled at the outset of the year, but showed he can be an impact five-category fantasy contributor during last year’s breakout campaign. It’s too early to consider cutting bait, despite his ongoing struggles at the dish. Rotoworld Today, 11:09 am

  • Resting versus lefty
    Sanchez isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Sanchez will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the left-handed Mitchell Parker set to start on the bump for the Nats. Avisail Garcia will cover right field instead while batting fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:09 am
     
  • Sitting against lefty
    Gordon isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Gordon will retreat to the dugout as the Nationals prepare to send left-hander Mitchell Parker to the mound to start Saturday's contest. Gordon's absence will move Bryan De La Cruz into left field while Josh Bell serves as the DH and Emmanuel Rivera starts at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:07 am
