  • Jesse Winker in Saturday’s lineup against Rays
    Jesse Winker (knee) is in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Winker is back in left field and batting third for Saturday’s showdown after suffering a right knee contusion during the bottom of the first inning of Friday’s game when he attempted to catch a fly ball near the left-field wall. His right cleat got caught in the turf, causing him to stumble and fall into the wall, which led to his exit from the contest. He’s apparently feeling well enough to get back in the lineup, which is a relief for the Nationals, and fantasy managers as well. Rotoworld 53 minutes ago

    Advice: Loperfido sits for the first time in seven contests since returning last week from Triple-A Sugar Land. The 25-year-old slugging prospect has just four hits in 19 at-bats during that stretch. Rotoworld 57 minutes ago

  • Out of lineup Saturday
    McCormick is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: McCormick went 0-for-1 with one walk and one strikeout before being pinch hit by Jon Singleton in the sixth inning of Friday's 7-2 loss to New York. With McCormick starting Saturday's game in the dugout, Singleton will start at first base while Mauricio Dubon shifts to right field against Mets right-hander Tylor Megill.

    Loperfido is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Loperfido has started in each of the Astros' last six games, going 4-for-19 with two doubles and two RBI while striking out seven times. With Loperfido beginning Saturday's contest in the dugout, Cesar Salazar will start behind home plate, Yainer Diaz will serve as the designated hitter and Yordan Alvarez will shift to left field against Mets right-hander Tylor Megill.

  • Getting Saturday off
    Sanchez isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Sanchez will sit down for the second game in a row Saturday despite the Marlins being matched up against right-hander Aaron Nola. Bryan De La Cruz will start in right field as a result, moving Josh Bell into the DH spot with Jake Burger at first base and Vidal Brujan at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 10:07 am
     
  • Corbin Carroll sits Saturday against southpaw
    Corbin Carroll is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Athletics.

    Advice: It appears to be a routine off day for Carroll with lefty Hogan Harris drawing the starting assignment on Saturday afternoon for Oakland. The 23-year-old’s sophomore campaign hasn’t gone as planned, but he’s shown some signs of life over the last few weeks, batting .253 (22-for-87) with eight extra-base hits (zero homers) and five steals since June 1. The complete lack of over-the-fence pop at the moment remains a massive concern for fantasy managers moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 10:06 am
