  • Breather Saturday
    Harris is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Royals.

    Advice: Harris will take a seat after he went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. The 25-year-old is in the midst of an 0-for-10 stretch at the plate and Abraham Toro will draw the start at third base and bat leadoff against Kansas City. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Return delayed multiple weeks
    Jung (wrist) still appears to be at least six weeks from returning to the lineup, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Jung has yet to pick up a bat after undergoing surgery on his right wrist April 2 and he is expected to be reevaluated in another 10-to-14 days before being cleared to start taking swings. The initial timeline for his return was 6-to-8 weeks, which was later adjusted to 10-to-12 weeks and he now appears to be tracking towards the latter end of that estimation, if not later. The repair of his fractured wrist proved to be trickier than initially anticipated and Texas will likely be cautious in their approach with their budding star at third base, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back until late June or early July.

  • Getting rare day off
    Betts isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: After starting 47 consecutive games and posting an incredible .341/.440/.562 slash line to begin the year, Betts will step out of the lineup for the first time all season. Miguel Rojas will instead start at shortstop while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

  • Joey Loperfido not in Astros’ lineup on Saturday
    Joey Loperfido is not in the Astros’ starting lineup for Saturday’s matchup against the Brewers.

    Advice: Once again Loperfido finds himself on the bench with an opposing right-hander on the mound. He has hit well in his limited action — slashing .306/.359/.417 with a homer, five RBI and a stolen base in 39 plate appearances, though it has come with a troublesome 16/3 K/BB ratio. He could be at risk of heading back to Triple-A Sugar Land once Chas McCormick is ready to return from the injured list. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Jason Heyward not in Dodgers lineup on Saturday
    Jason Heyward is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: After crushing a two-run homer in his return from the injured list on Friday night, Heyward is getting the day off on Saturday as manager Dave Roberts eases him back into action. The Dodgers will start Miguel Vargas in left field on Saturday while Enrique Hernandez holds down the hot corner once again in the absence of Max Muncy. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Gets breather Saturday
    Gurriel isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game versus Detroit.

    Advice: Gurriel has gone just 1-for-18 with nine strikeouts across his past five games, so the D-backs will give him a day to regroup Saturday. Jake McCarthy, Corbin Carroll and Pavin Smith will start across the outfield while Gurriel rests. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Paris is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Rangers.

    Advice: Paris will take a seat after he went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Friday's 9-3 win. Luis Guillorme will take over at second base and bat eighth against Texas. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Sitting against southpaw
    Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Southpaw MacKenzie Gore will take the mound to begin Saturday's contest for the Nats, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will step out of the lineup. While he sits, Cristian Pache will pick up a start in left field while batting eighth. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
