  • Showing improvement
    Berti (calf) is improving and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment in a few weeks, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Berti is "moving in a good direction" and added that the infielder will "hopefully" be ready for a rehab assignment in "a few more weeks." Berti is currently on the 60-day IL due to a left calf strain and isn't eligible to be activated until late July. He will likely fill a utility role upon his return. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago

  • Busy day in win
    Lopez went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in a 5-1 win over the Tigers on Saturday.

    Advice: Lopez singled in the third inning then hit an RBI double in the fourth to give the White Sox a 2-0 lead. In the sixth frame, he singled, stole second and came around to score on a single by Lenyn Sosa. Lopez entered the contest just 10-for-50 in June, but it was his fourth multi-hit game of the month. The second baseman is now hitting .239 with six RBI and three steals over 209 at-bats this season. Rotowire.com Today, 5:29 pm

  • Kiner-Falefa has two-homer game in loss Saturday

  • 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 Today, 3:46 pm

  • Dylan Moore doubles twice as Mariners rout Marlins
    Dylan Moore doubled twice and drove in a run in a blowout win Saturday over the Marlins.

    Advice: Moore now has 14 doubles on the season. The 31-year-old came into Saturday’s game hitting just .154 over the month of June, but he has swung the bat better over the last week with a pair of homers and multi-hit contests. Rotoworld Today, 3:36 pm

  • Ryan Bliss doubles twice, drives in two in rout
    Ryan Bliss doubled twice and picked up three hits in a blowout win over the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Bliss also scored a run. The 24-year-old rookie has picked up six hits in his seven at-bats against Miami in the series, and that’s helped improve his slash to .283/.353/.457. The question now becomes what Seattle does with Bliss when Jorge Polanco (hamstring) comes off the injured list, and what kind of role he’d serve if he did stay on the roster. Based on what he’s done in the majors, he deserves playing time, but Seattle will want him to get regular at-bats somewhere. Rotoworld Today, 3:36 pm

  • Suffers left elbow bruise
    Sosa was hit by a pitch in the fifth inning of Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks and has a left elbow contusion, Brooke Destra of NBCSPhilly reports.

    Advice: Sosa was removed from the game after the HPB and his postgame X-rays returned negative. Though he avoided structural damage, Sosa is still deemed day-to-day. He went 0-for-1 with a run scored prior to exiting. Rotowire.com Today, 3:25 pm

  • Amed Rosario suffers facial lacerations on Saturday
    Amed Rosario suffered facial lacerations when he was hit in the face by a 99.6-mph fastball during Saturday’s game against the Pirates.

    Advice: It sounds like the 28-year-old infielder was extremely fortunate to have avoided any broken bones in a terrifying situation on Saturday afternoon. It’s unclear if Rosario is going to require a trip to the injured list or will miss any time with the injury, but it’s incredibly encouraging to hear the early diagnosis. Rotoworld Today, 2:59 pm

  • Has facial lacerations
    Rosario has facial lacerations stemming from being hit by a pitch during Saturday's game against the Pirates and there's optimism that he avoided any fractures, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Rosario was removed from Saturday's game in the first inning after being struck in the face by a 99 mile-per-hour pitch by Jared Jones.
