  • 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 12 minutes ago
     
  • Idle against lefty
    Frelick isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: The left-handed bat of Frelick will step out of the lineup Saturday as the Brewers prepare to face lefty Carlos Rodon. Joey Wiemer will fill in as Milwaukee's left fielder and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Back at first base Saturday
    Abreu is starting at first base and batting eighth in Saturday's contest against the Rockies in Mexico City.

    Advice: Abreu has ceded the starting first base job to Jon Singleton as of late, with the former going 1-for-21 over his last seven games. Abreu will hope to turn around his poor start to the season Saturday against Rockies right-hander Cal Quantrill. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Gets breather versus LHP
    Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Southpaw Carlos Rodon will start on the hill Saturday for the Yankees, meaning the lefty-hitting Bauers will watch the beginning of the game from the dugout. Rhys Hoskins will cover first base in his absence while William Contreras serves as Milwaukee's DH and Gary Sanchez starts behind the plate. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Jackson Merrill (groin) returns to action Saturday
    Jackson Merrill (groin) returned to the Padres’ starting lineup on Saturday.

    Advice: Merrill missed each of the previous two games due to minor tightness in his right groin. He’s right back out there on Saturday though, starting in center field and batting eighth against Ranger Suarez and the Phillies. The 21-year-old rookie outfielder is hitting an impressive .318/.378/.409 with a homer, 12 RBI and four stolen bases in his first 27 games in the big leagues. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Won't start Saturday
    Melendez is not in the Royals' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Melendez has gone 0-for-12 over his last four starts, reaching base once on a walk over that span. Dairon Blanco will start in left field and bat eighth against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Not starting Saturday
    Velazquez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Velazquez will begin Saturday's game on the bench with the Tigers sending out right-hander Casey Mize. Velazquez is hitless over his last six games and has reached base twice on walks over that span. Lefty-hitting Adam Frazier will start at DH and bat fifth in the lineup Saturday.

  • Jake Cronenworth not in Padres lineup on Saturday
    Jake Cronenworth is absent from the Padres’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s showdown against the Phillies.

    Advice: It appears to be nothing more than a regular day of rest for the 30-year-old infielder with left-hander Ranger Suarez toeing the slab for the Phillies. Jurickson Profar will make just his second start of the season at first base while Jose Azocar enters the lineup in left field for the Padres. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
