  • Dealing with jammed thumb
    Estrada is considered day-to-day after jamming his thumb during Friday's game against the Yankees, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Saturday's absence from the lineup is more than just a day off for the second baseman, who picked up a minor thumb injury in the series opener against New York. Estrada was deemed day-to-day and won't have the benefit of a team-wide rest day until Thursday. If Estrada is forced to miss more time, Brett Wisely would likely fill the gap at second.

  • Slade Cecconi solid against Mets on Saturday
    Slade Cecconi allowed one run with four strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Saturday.

    Advice: Cecconi was excellent against the Mets on Saturday, scattering three hits over four scoreless frames before Mark Vientos took him deep for a solo homer to lead off the fifth. Cecconi put one more runner on with a single and recorded two outs before he was pulled at 71 pitches, leaving him with a no-decision. The 24-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 5.59 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and a 26/8 K/BB ratio across 37 innings. He’s set to take on the Padres in San Diego on Thursday should he remain in the rotation. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Sean Manaea surrenders six runs in loss
    Sean Manaea surrendered six runs -- five earned -- with ten strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Advice: After two scoreless frames, Manaea loaded the bases with a base hit and two walks in the third. Christian Walker would clear them all with a grand slam to put the Diamondbacks ahead. A double and a base hit in the sixth would drive in a run and knock Manaea from the game with two outs at 105 pitches. He struck out a season-high ten batters. The 32-year-old left-hander will take a 3.63 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 57/24 K/BB ratio across 57 innings into a start against the Phillies in New York next Saturday. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago

  • Sale allows eight runs in no-decision
    Chris Sale allowed eight runs in four innings and got a no-decision against the Athletics on Saturday.

    Advice: Sale allowed nine hits, walked one and struck out four. He was due for a bad start after a dominant stretch where he won his last seven consecutive starts. He had his worst outing of the year against the Athletics. It’s the only time Sale was unable to complete five innings in 11 tries this year. His ERA increased from 2.11 to 3.06. The 35-year-old left-hander will look to get back on track against the Nationals on the road next week. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago

  • Rehab assignment imminent
    Winn (forearm) will start a rehab assignment Tuesday at Triple-A Sacramento, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Giants' manager Bob Melvin hinted earlier this week that Winn could've been activated from the IL and rejoined the big-league rotation as soon as Monday or Tuesday. However, we now know Winn will need a rehab stint before being reinstated. Considering Winn threw 45 pitches in a bullpen May 27, it's likely he'll only need one or two minor-league appearances before getting the green light. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

  • Ryan Mountcastle homers twice in O’s victory
    Ryan Mountcastle went 2-for-3 with two homers, three runs scored, four RBI, and a walk to power the Orioles to a 9-5 victory over the Rays on Saturday.

    Advice: Mountcastle sent one deep over the center field walk for a two-run blast off Taj Bradley in the first inning. He drew a walk to lead off the third and scored on a base hit by Jordan Westburg before taking Bradley deep once again for another two-run shot in the fourth. The 27-year-old first baseman breaks a 17-game home run drought with the two-homer day. He’s slashing .293/.333/.505 with eight home runs, 31 runs scored, and 24 RBI across 213 plate appearances.

  • Exits with trainer
    Young was removed from Saturday's game against the Guardians with an undisclosed injury, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: A trainer tended to Young while the Nationals made a pitching change in the bottom of the sixth inning before walking Young off the field. Eddie Rosario will fill center field while Joey Gallo enters the game in left. It's unclear exactly what type of injury Young is dealing with, but we should learn more later Saturday.

  • Idle Saturday
    Estrada is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Estrada will get his first day off since May 12 on Saturday, a well-earned break after generating seven hits across his last four starts. Brett Wisely will play second and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:52 pm

  • Padres recall Randy Vásquez for Saturday start
    Padres recalled RHP Randy Vásquez from Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Vásquez draws the starting assignment for Saturday’s game against the Royals after Joe Musgrove was scratched just a few hours prior to first pitch. The 25-year-old righty has posted an underwhelming 5.82 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 13/4 K/BB ratio across 21 2/3 innings (five starts) this season in his Padres debut. He’s not a recommended streaming option for fantasy managers. Rotoworld Today, 10:14 am
