    • Lively allows two runs, gets seventh win Saturday
      Ben Lively allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings and got the win in the Guardians’ 6-3 victory over the Blue Jays on Saturday.



      Advice: Lively gave up three hits, walked two and struck out four. He’s now won five of his last seven starts and has seven wins overall on the season. His ERA is 3.03. Not bad for a waiver wire pickup. The 32-year-old right-hander is set to face the Royals on the road next weekend.

    • Corbin Burnes gives up two homers in loss to Astros
      Corbin Burnes gave up four runs over seven innings with five strikeouts in a loss to the Astros on Saturday.

      Advice: Burnes gave up two homers in the loss, including a two-run homer by Yordan Alvarez. Outside of the roundtrippers the 29-year-old was mostly solid, but he was outdueled by Ronel Blanco as Baltimore dropped their second consecutive game in the three-game set. Burnes is back on the bump Thursday against the Rangers, assuming Baltimore doesn’t change the rotation order. Rotoworld Today, 3:29 pm
       
    • Dealing with left forearm soreness
      Arenado was removed from Friday's game against the Giants with left forearm discomfort, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Arenado was hit in the right arm by a pitch Wednesday but seems to be battling through some pain in his opposite forearm. Considering the Cardinals were ahead by five runs when Arenado was removed, it very well could be precautionary. Regardless, his status should be monitored ahead of Sunday's series finale.

    • Nolan Arenado leaves game with forearm discomfort
      Nolan Arenado was removed from Saturday’s ballgame against the Giants due to left forearm discomfort.

      Advice: It’s not the same arm that Arenado had an issue with earlier in the week when he was hit by a pitch, so now he’s dealing with ailments in both arms. As of now, it sounds like a day-to-day type of situation, but it’s something that fantasy managers should keep an eye on over the next few days. Rotoworld Today, 1:33 pm

    • Back in lineup
      Arenado (elbow) is starting at third base and batting fifth Saturday against the Giants, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Arenado suffered a bruised elbow after getting hit by a pitch during Wednesday's contest and said after the game that his goal was to return Saturday. After a few days of rest, the 33-year-old third baseman will achieve his goal and return to face the Giants with former teammate Jordan Hicks on the mound. Arenado has slashed .270/.333/.365 with six RBI across 72 plate appearances since the beginning of June. Rotowire.com Today, 9:36 am

    • Nolan Arenado back in Saturday’s lineup vs. Giants
      Nolan Arenado (elbow) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Giants.

      Advice: Arenado returns to St. Louis’ lineup after missing Thursday’s showdown against San Francisco at historic Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama due to a left elbow contusion. The positive news here is that X-rays came back negative and it doesn’t seem like a serious concern moving forward. It’s been a down year for the 33-year-old fantasy stalwart, but he’s starting to hit for some power with three homers over his last 30 games. Rotoworld Today, 9:06 am

    • Tagged with seven runs
      Rodriguez (8-3) allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks over five-plus innings Friday, striking out eight and taking a loss against Houston.

      Advice: Rodriguez gave up a run in each of the first and second innings but the real damage didn't come until later. He coughed up a three-run shot to Jake Meyers in the fifth inning and was charged with two runs during Houston's nine-run sixth. Rodriguez saw his three-game winning streak come to an end while taking his first loss of the month. He's given up seven runs twice this season but has allowed two or fewer runs in 10 of his 13 outings, resulting in a 3.82 ERA overall. The 24-year-old righty is in line for a home matchup with Cleveland next week. Rotowire.com Today, 5:15 am
       
    • Perfect day at dish
      Rutschman went 5-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's loss to Houston.

      Advice: Rutschman was a thorn in the side for Houston pitching all night but wasn't able to drive in any runs. His lone extra-base hit came during Baltimore's seven-run eighth inning right after a Gunnar Henderson homer. Rutschman fell into a small eight-game slump, going 4-for-30 (.133) during that span, but has since gone 8-for-10 with two walks and five runs scored over his last two appearances. He's slashing .305/.352/.485 with 53 RBI and 41 runs scored through 71 games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:00 am
       
    • Drills two homers
      Henderson went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI, three runs scored, a stolen base and walk in Friday's loss to the Astros.

      Advice: Henderson scored his first run in the third inning after drawing a walk and swiping second base. He then drilled a solo shot in the seventh inning and a two-run blast during the Orioles' seven-run eighth. He's produced back-to-back three-hit performances and has five multi-hit games over his last 11 appearances. Henderson owns a terrific .284/.381/.610 slash line with 43 extra-base hits and 13 steals through 74 games. Rotowire.com Today, 4:54 am
