  • Won't start Saturday
    Vierling is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Vierling has started in each of the Tigers' last six games, going 6-for-21 with three runs, one double and one triple over that span. Against Royals right-hander Brady Singer, the Tigers will start lefty-hitting Zach McKinstry at third base. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

  • Continuing rehab assignment
    Ibanez (hamstring) will start at second base for Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Ibanez has played two games in Triple-A as part of his rehab assignment, going 3-for-6 with two doubles and one RBI over that span. If all goes well in that stint, Ibanez could be available for the Tigers' next series against the Cardinals starting Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:47 pm

  • Returns to lineup Saturday
    Senzel (illness) will serve as the Nationals' designated hitter Saturday against the Marlins.

    Advice: A stomach illness has kept Senzel from playing in Washington's last two games, but the issue appears to have subsided prior to Saturday's contest. The 28-year-old is slashing .200/.259/.440 with two homers across 27 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:15 am
     
  • Up from Triple-A
    The Mets recalled Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Vientos has slashed .302/.388/.525 across 98 plate appearances in Triple-A, and he'll now join the big-league club as Starling Marte (personal) steps away from the team. Vientos will likely head back to Syracuse following Marte's return. Rotowire.com Today, 10:34 am

  • Nick Senzel returns to lineup at DH on Saturday
    Nick Senzel (illness) has returned to the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Senzel is back at designated hitter and batting eighth following a brief two-game absence due to illness. Rotoworld Today, 10:31 am
     
  • Gets breather Saturday
    Candelario isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Candelario will get a chance to clear his head Saturday after going 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts across his last five games. Santiago Espinal will step in to cover third base instead while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 10:18 am
     
  • Picks up steal
    Arias went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Arias' last four starts have been evenly split between second and third, providing opportunities for Jose Ramirez and Andres Gimenez to get rest. Arias is off to a solid start this season in a utility role, slashing .278/.304/.426 with three steals, one home run, eight RBI and seven runs scored across 56 plate appearances. He's already played at six different positions this season, so he should be able to be in the lineup semi-regularly despite lacking a single obvious path to playing time. Rotowire.com Today, 9:57 am

  • Mets bring up Mark Vientos on Saturday from AAA
    Mets recalled INF Mark Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: It’s a bit surprising to see Vientos back with the Mets with veteran slugger J.D. Martinez finally healthy and occupying the designated hitter slot until further notice. The 24-year-old slugger batted .302 (26-for-86) with five homers and 22 RBI across 23 games for Triple-A Syracuse after failing to make New York’s season-opening roster. He’ll presumably split time between third base, first base and DH moving forward, but the lack of consistent playing time limits his appeal for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld Today, 9:40 am

  • Not starting Saturday
    Kiner-Falefa is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa will retreat to the bench after going 1-for-4 in the series opener Friday. Righty-hitting Ernie Clement will start at third base Saturday and bat eighth against Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow. Rotowire.com Today, 8:30 am
