    • Nolan Jones goes deep in loss to White Sox
      Nolan Jones went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer against the White Sox on Saturday.

      Advice: Jones took Jonathan Cannon deep for a two-run shot in the fifth inning. It was only his third home run of the season as he’s struggled to a .192/.298/.323 slash line, striking out 33.1 percent of the time across 151 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:53 pm
       
    • Sitting against lefty
      Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: With lefty Max Fried slated to take the hill for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Tellez will step out of the lineup Saturday. Connor Joe will get the nod at first base instead and bat third. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:55 am
       
    • Resumes taking swings
      Bryant (oblique) took swings in the batting cage prior to Friday's game, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Bryant has a rib and oblique injury and has been sidelined since June 3. He took positive steps Friday, but he remains without a timeline to return to the field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:53 am

    • Out of lineup Saturday
      Nevin is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

      Advice: For the second straight game, Nevin will be in the dugout Saturday while Armando Alvarez starts at third base. Since making his major-league debut June 22, Alvarez has gone 6-for-12 with one RBI and one stolen base, and his encouraging play over the last week could mean the rookie and Nevin split starts in the infield until Abraham Toro (hamstring) returns from the injured list after the All-Star break.

    • Sitting Saturday
      Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

      Advice: Bauers has now missed two straight starts since hitting a grand slam during Wednesday's win over the Rangers. Rhys Hoskins will get the nod at first base while Christian Yelich serves as Milwaukee's DH. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:14 am
       
    • Idle vs. southpaw Saturday
      Horwitz is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Horwitz will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the Yankees sending southpaw Nestor Cortes to the mound. Horwitz went 1-for-4 in Friday's 16-5 loss to the Yankees, and for the season he's slashing .340/.484/.500 with two home runs and six RBI over 64 plate appearances. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at second base Saturday and bat second. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:33 am
       
    • Kyle Manzardo clubs two homers Friday at Triple-A
      Guardians 1B prospect Kyle Manzardo launched two homers on Friday for Triple-A Columbus.

      Advice: Manzardo struggled badly in his first taste of the majors earlier this season, but it’s becoming apparent that he’s simply too talented to continue languishing in the minors. The 23-year-old slugging prospect ripped a no-doubter to right field before lofting an impressive shot to left-center field a couple frames later. He boasts a stratospheric 1.021 OPS with 12 homers in 166 plate appearances this season at the Triple-A level. It feels like only a matter of time before he gets another shot in Cleveland.

    • Starting Saturday
      Sheets (heel) is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the cleanup spot for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Sheets returns to the starting lineup Saturday after missing the last two games due to a bruised left heel he sustained Wednesday against the Dodgers. The 28-year-old lefty pinch hit in the bottom of the sixth inning of Friday's 5-3 win over Colorado, reaching base on an intentional walk in his only at-bat. For the month of June, Sheets is slashing .257/.321/.419 with three home runs and nine RBI over 74 at-bats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:08 am
       
    • Three homers in four games
      Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the White Sox.

      Advice: Toglia took Tanner Banks yard in the seventh inning of Friday's game, tallying his third home run in his last four games. He's started 20 consecutive matchups while splitting time between first base and designated hitter. In that span, Toglia has hit .247 with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate, though he's also managed five homers, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:41 am
