  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against Texas.

    Advice: With lefty Andrew Heaney set to toe the slab for the Rangers, the lefty-hitting Wisely will step out of the lineup. Tyler Fitzgerald will take over at shortstop, batting ninth. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Slated for rehab stint next week
    Drury (hamstring) has responded well to recent baseball activities and is likely to head out on a rehab assignment during the week of June 10, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Drury hasn't played since injuring his left hamstring May 8, but he's recently progressed to running and participating in full baseball activities, including taking groundballs and hitting on the field. The veteran infielder hasn't had any setbacks while taking part in that work and thus appears just about ready to head out on a rehab stint. It's not clear how many minor-league games Drury will play in, but he could be back with the Angels by the end of next week. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • Called up to majors
    The Rockies recalled Amador from Double-A Hartford on Saturday, independent journalist Francys Romero reports.

    Advice: Amador only sports a .666 OPS through 208 plate appearances this season with Hartford, but he has slashed .326/.388/.767 with six homers and 14 RBI while also stealing six bases across his last 10 games. It's unclear how long his first stint in the big leagues will last, but he'll at least provide some immediate middle-infield depth with Brendan Rodgers battling a hamstring injury.

  • Report: Rockies calling up prospect Adael Amador
    Independent journalist Francys Romero reports the Rockies are calling up top prospect Adael Amador.

    Advice: Amador has been sizzling-hot of late for Double-A Harford, batting .359 with six homers over his last nine games, on the heels of a frosty start to the year. The 21-year-old prodigy possesses excellent bat-to-ball skills, which should lead to high batting averages in Colorado, and is starting to show some additional over-the-fence pop. It’s unclear how long he’ll remain in the majors, but he figures to be worthy of a speculative pickup in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago

  • Sitting as expected
    Rodgers (hamstring) isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Rodgers had to be taken out of Friday's game after his hamstring tightened up on him while running to first base in the fourth inning. The Rockies said the 27-year-old would require treatment for a couple of days, so Alan Trejo will take over at second base and bat ninth Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:24 am
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Caballero is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Caballero will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a double in the series opener Friday. Taylor Walls will start at shortstop Saturday and bat seventh against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish. Rotowire.com Today, 11:04 am
     
  • Brendan Rogers out Saturday with hamstring issue
    Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Rodgers will get some extra time to rest and recover after leaving Friday’s game with a mild left hamstring injury. It certainly doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but the 27-year-old will likely sit out the remainder of the weekend to continue undergoing treatment. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 10:48 am
     
  • Taking seat Saturday
    Turner is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Turner will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 0-for-3 with one walk and two strikeouts in the series opener Friday. The lefty-hitting Daniel Vogelbach will serve as the designated hitter Saturday and bat sixth against Athletics right-hander Luis Medina. Rotowire.com Today, 10:29 am

  • Sitting Saturday
    Lopez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Despite Boston sending right-hander Brayan Bello to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Lopez will begin the game in the dugout while Danny Mendick starts at second base. Lopez started in the first two games of the series, going 1-for-8 with two strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 9:06 am
