  • Brought up to majors
    The Padres recalled Sullivan from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Sullivan will take the place of Luis Campusano (thumb) on the active roster as Campusano hits the IL. Sullivan should operate as the primary backup to Kyle Higashioka while Campusano is sidelined. Rotowire.com Today, 2:32 pm
     
  • Hitting injured list
    Campusano (thumb) was placed on the injured list Saturday but isn't expected to miss more than 10 days, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports

    Advice: Campusano was scratched from Friday's game and held out of Saturday's contest with left thumb soreness, an injury that will require a stint on the IL. While the Padres don't expect the injury to last beyond the minimum 10 days, Brett Sullivan will take Campusano's place on the active roster. Kyle Higashioka should get most of the catching work, though. Rotowire.com Today, 2:29 pm

  • Francisco Alvarez homers in second straight game
    Francisco Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a solo homer on Saturday in the Mets’ one-sided defeat at the hands of the Cubs.

    Advice: Alvarez supplied New York’s lone run in a blowout loss at Wrigley Field by taking Chicago starter Jameson Taillon deep in the fifth inning for his third round-tripper of the year. It was his second consecutive game with a homer after going without one in nine straight contests after returning from the injured list back on June 11. He hasn’t hit for a ton of power, but he’s batting an impressive .364 (12-for-33) with two homers and eight RBI this month. Rotoworld Today, 2:18 pm
     
  • Korey Lee has two hits, homers in win over Tigers
    Korey Lee went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Saturday, lifting the White Sox to a 5-1 victory over the Tigers.

    Advice: Lee’s sixth inning homer — his seventh big fly of the season — off Tigers reliever Joey Wentz gave Chicago a commanding four-run lead at the time, which they wouldn’t relinquish. It was a relatively quiet afternoon for both sides in this one as Kenta Maeda and Drew Thorpe managed to avoid hard contact pretty well into the middle innings. Rotoworld Today, 1:14 pm
     
  • Absent from starting nine
    Campusano (thumb) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.

    Advice: Campusano was scratched from Friday's lineup with soreness in his left thumb and will remain on the bench to begin Saturday's game. Kyle Higashioka will be behind the plate and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:13 pm

  • Luis Campusano (thumb) absent from Padres lineup
    Luis Campusano (thumb) is absent from the Padres’ starting lineup on Saturday.

    Advice: Campusano was scratched from the team’s starting lineup on Friday night due to the same issue. It doesn’t sound like he’ll require a trip to the injured list, but may need another day or two before he’s ready to return. Kyle Higashioka will draw another start behind the dish and will bat ninth against Carlos Rodriguez and the Brewers on Saturday evening in San Diego. Rotoworld Today, 1:12 pm

  • Idle Saturday
    Trevino is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: After going 0-for-10 across three consecutive starts, Trevino will give way to Austin Wells behind the dish Saturday. Trevino has eight home runs and a .726 OPS on the year. Rotowire.com Today, 1:09 pm
     
  • Gets Saturday off
    Langeliers is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Langeliers will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over Minnesota. The lefty-hitting Kyle McCann will start behind home plate Saturday and bat ninth against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober. Rotowire.com Today, 12:22 pm
     
  • Mariners outright Seby Zavala to Triple-A
    Mariners sent C Seby Zavala outright to Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: It wouldn’t be shocking to see Zavala elect free agency after passing through waivers unclaimed, but he could wind up sticking around as valuable organizational catching depth. The 30-year-old backstop was removed from Seattle’s 40-man roster earlier this week after getting into 18 contests for the Mariners. Rotoworld Today, 12:14 pm
