  • Bo Bichette out Saturday with right calf soreness
    Bo Bichette is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Guardians due to right calf soreness.

    Advice: Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters they’ll see how Bichette is feeling this weekend before deciding on a course of action. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but it’s a developing situation fantasy managers should keep a close eye on. He’s been playing through the lingering issue of late and is presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago

  • Kevin Kiermaier returns to lineup on Saturday
    Kevin Kiermaier (knee) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Guardians.

  • Pedro Pagés starting at catcher again for Cards
    Pedro Pagés is at catcher and batting ninth on Saturday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Pagés has started five of the last six contests for the Cardinals since Iván Herrera made a costly throwing error last weekend against the Rockies that led to a couple runs crossing the plate. It’ll only be a few weeks until starter Willson Contreras is ready to return, but it’s certainly a developing situation to continue monitoring in deeper two-catcher formats. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago
