    • Smith belts sixth home run in win Saturday
      Josh Smith went 2-for-3 with a solo home run against the Royals on Saturday.

      Advice: Smith’s home run was his sixth of the year. He’s 15-for-37 (.405) with three home runs, eight RBI and a stolen base in his last 13 games. Smith has stood out on the Rangers offense and found his way to the No. 3 spot in the lineup. Given Texas’ other options, they’ll continue to find playing time for him as long as he’s producing like this. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:46 pm
       
    • Gleyber Torres returns to lineup on Saturday
      Gleyber Torres (groin) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves.

      Advice: Torres sat out Friday’s series opener following an early exit from Thursday’s game due to right groin tightness. It’s a positive sign that he’s back in the lineup and it confirms the belief from Yankees manager Aaron Boone that Torres wasn’t dealing with anything major. Rotoworld Saturday, 12:01 pm
       
    • Back in lineup Saturday
      Torres (groin) is starting at second base and batting seventh Saturday against Atlanta.

      Advice: Torres left Thursday's game against the Orioles in the sixth inning due to tightness in his right groin. He was held out of Friday's game as a precaution and is back in the lineup Saturday. For the month of June, Torres is slashing .194/.268/.387 with three home runs and 12 RBI over 62 at-bats.

    • Tyler O’Neill not in Saturday’s lineup vs. Reds
      Tyler O’Neill is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Reds.

      Advice: O’Neill gets a routine maintenance day with Wilyer Abreu back in right field on Saturday afternoon against the Reds. The 29-year-old has homered four times over his last seven games and should be back in there for Sunday’s series finale. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:41 am
       
    • Heading to bench Saturday
      O'Neill is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: O'Neill will hit the bench after going 0-for-7 with two walks over the Red Sox's previous two contests, but he's been excellent overall since making his return from a three-game absence due to a knee issue earlier this month, slashing .273/.342/.697 since June 12. Even though he finds himself as the odd man out of the Boston outfield Saturday while the team brings Wilyer Abreu (ankle) back from the injured list, O'Neill should continue to handle a near-everyday role for the Red Sox.

    • David Hamilton back in Saturday’s lineup vs. Reds
      David Hamilton (side) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds.

      Advice: Hamilton is back in Boston’s lineup after missing two of their last three contests due to some lingering left side discomfort. The 26-year-old speedster should be rostered in all fantasy formats at this point since he’s batting .315 (29-for-92) with three homers and 16 stolen bases over his last 30 games. His game-changing speed is a factor for fantasy purposes, even if he’s going to bat near the bottom of the lineup more often than not. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:19 am
       
    • Homers twice in win
      Candelario went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 5-2 win over Boston.

      Advice: Candelario had been battling tendinitis in the back of his right knee, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, but he was ready to go Friday with the help of the Reds' training staff. The knee didn't cool off Candelario's scoring bat. He homered in his first two plate appearances -- the second two-HR game this month -- and is batting .347/.351/.736 over 18 games in June.

    • Perfect day at dish
      Rutschman went 5-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's loss to Houston.

      Advice: Rutschman was a thorn in the side for Houston pitching all night but wasn't able to drive in any runs. His lone extra-base hit came during Baltimore's seven-run eighth inning right after a Gunnar Henderson homer. Rutschman fell into a small eight-game slump, going 4-for-30 (.133) during that span, but has since gone 8-for-10 with two walks and five runs scored over his last two games. He's slashing .305/.352/.485 with 53 RBI and 41 runs scored through 71 games. Rotowire.com Saturday, 5:00 am
       
    • Adley Rutschman finishes 5-for-5 against Astros
      Adley Rutschman went 5-for-5 and scored two runs in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

      Advice: It’s Rutschman’s second career five-hit game; the other came on Opening Day last year, when he led the Orioles to a 10-9 win over the Red Sox. He also had three hits on Thursday, so he’s raised his average from .288 to .305 the last two days. Rotoworld Saturday, 12:08 am
