  • Resting versus lefty
    Crow-Armstrong isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Reds.

    Advice: Southpaw Andrew Abbott will start on the bump for Cincinnati, meaning the lefty-hitting Crow-Armstrong will begin Saturday's contest on the bench. Cody Bellinger will start in center field with Michael Busch at first base. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Not starting Saturday
    Suzuki (oblique) isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Suzuki was hit in the left side by a throw while stealing second base during Friday's loss, and he was later taken out of the game as a precaution after he felt his oblique tighten up. It's still unclear how serious his injury is, but the Cubs will play it safe Saturday and keep him sidelined. His absence will move Christopher Morel into the DH spot while Patrick Wisdom starts at third base. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago

  • Sitting Saturday
    O'Neill is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: O'Neill left in the third inning of Friday's 7-2 loss to the White Sox due to right knee discomfort. The 28-year-old recently came off the injured list due to inflammation in the same knee. O'Neill is slashing .250/.354/.500 with 11 home runs and 18 RBI over 181 plate appearances this season. Bobby Dalbec will start in right field Saturday and bat seventh against White Sox right-hander Nick Nastrini. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Seiya Suzuki out Saturday due to side tightness
    Seiya Suzuki (side) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Reds.

    Advice: It doesn’t come as a surprise to see the Cubs proceeding cautiously here after Suzuki left Friday’s showdown for precautionary reasons due to left side tightness. The 29-year-old corner outfielder has dealt with oblique issues on both sides over the last few years, so it’s understandable that Chicago doesn’t want to take any chances here. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 53 minutes ago

  • Not starting Saturday
    Andujar is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Saturday marks Andujar's first day off since May 25 against the Astros. Andujar was off to a hot start at the plate since returning from the injured list May 24, but the 29-year-old has failed to reach base over his last three games, going 0-for-11 with four strikeouts. With Toronto sending right-hander Kevin Gausman to the mound Saturday, Oakland will start Daz Cameron and Seth Brown in left and right field, respectively. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
     
  • Tyler O’Neill out Saturday with knee discomfort
    Tyler O’Neill (knee) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the White Sox.

    Advice: No surprise here after O’Neill was removed from Friday’s contest due to renewed right knee discomfort. The 28-year-old slugger has been plagued by persistent knee issues this season, but has expressed optimism that he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list this time. It seems unlikely he’ll return this weekend, but it’s a positive sign that the Red Sox haven’t sent him back to the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment.

  • Getting rest Saturday
    Springer is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Springer went 0-for-4 in the series opener Friday, and he has failed to register a hit over his last three games. The 34-year-old is slashing .202/.292/.305 with five home runs and 13 RBI over 243 plate appearances this season. With Springer out of Saturday's lineup, Daulton Varsho and Davis Schneider will occupy right and left field, respectively, while Spencer Horwitz makes his 2024 debut at second base against Oakland right-hander Luis Medina.
