    • Removed from game after collision
      Keith was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers in the third inning after colliding with Akil Baddoo while tracking down a flyball, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Keith was running full speed toward the foul line in right field and collided with Akil Baddoo as the ball dropped. The second baseman looked to be grabbing at his left leg before walking back to the dugout unassisted. Zach McKinstry replaced Keith at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 2:09 pm

    • Colt Keith leaves game after collision in outfield
      Colt Keith was removed from Saturday’s battle against the Brewers after he collided with teammate Akil Baddoo in shallow right field.

      Advice: It’s not immediately clear where he took the brunt of the full-speed collision, but he was obviously shaken up afterwards. The good news, is that he was able to walk off the field under his own power. Expect him to head for further evaluation — and perhaps a trip through the concussion protocol. The Tigers should have an update on his status after the game. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm

    • Fields grounders Friday
      Rendon (hamstring) progressed to taking groundballs Friday, per MLB.com.

      Advice: Rendon resumed baseball activities earlier in the week, making throws and taking swings in the batting cages. His ability Friday to take grounders -- albeit only on balls that were hit right at him in order to avoid lateral movement -- was another sign of progress, and Rendon is expected to put his strained left hamstring to an even bigger test by jogging Saturday. Rendon remains weeks away from a return, but it's now feasible that he could be back with the Angels by the end of June. Rotowire.com Today, 12:07 pm

    • Continuing to sit
      Davis is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.

      Advice: Saturday marks Davis' third consecutive absence. The lefty-hitting Tyler Soderstrom will once again start at first base Saturday while batting seventh against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Rotowire.com Today, 10:46 am

    • Taking seat Saturday
      Turner is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

      Advice: Turner will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 0-for-3 with one walk and two strikeouts in the series opener Friday. The lefty-hitting Daniel Vogelbach will serve as the designated hitter Saturday and bat sixth against Athletics right-hander Luis Medina. Rotowire.com Today, 10:29 am

    • Justyn-Henry Malloy in LF on Saturday vs. Brewers
      Justyn-Henry Malloy is in left field and batting sixth on Saturday against the Brewers.

      Advice: Malloy draws his first start in the outfield after spending four straight contests at designated hitter to open his big-league career. The 24-year-old on-base machine has gone 2-for-11 with a solo homer in 13 plate appearances so far. The lack of elite over-the-fence power upside limits his appeal to deeper mixed leagues and AL-only formats for now. Rotoworld Today, 9:44 am
       
    • Sitting Saturday
      Lopez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Despite Boston sending right-hander Brayan Bello to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Lopez will begin the game in the dugout while Danny Mendick starts at second base. Lopez started in the first two games of the series, going 1-for-8 with two strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 9:06 am

    • Ramping up activity
      Polanco (hamstring) has been ramping up baseball activities but will require a minor-league rehab assignment before activation, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The veteran infielder took full infield practice during the Mariners' three-game road trip in Oakland earlier in the week, and there were no reported setbacks. However, manager Scott Servais confirmed before Friday's series opener against the Royals that Polanco will require at least a brief rehab assignment, which could commence at Triple-A Tacoma in the coming days.

    • Reaches three times in loss
      Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

      Advice: Busch came into the contest in a bit of a slump, as he was just 1-for-10 over his previous six games. Overall, he's slowed down some after a strong start to the season, though he still has a solid .783 OPS and provides decent pop against righties. While Busch continues to generally sit against lefties, he has at least batted .304 (7-for-23) against them when given the opportunity. Rotowire.com Today, 7:32 am
