  • Absent from lineup
    Lopez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Lopez has been operating as the Marlins' primary second baseman, but his production has slowed in June with just a .477 OPS. He'll get a day off to regroup while Vidal Brujan handles the keystone. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Mariners outright Kirby Snead to Triple-A
    Mariners sent LHP Kirby Snead outright to Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Snead went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will remain with Seattle as extra organizational relief depth. The 29-year-old lefty has made 11 relief appearances in the majors this season and holds a respectable 5.09 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 58/37 K/BB ratio across 74 1/3 innings (79 appearances) since 2021 in the big leagues.

  • Expected to throw off mound soon
    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Saturday that Williams (back) is expected to be cleared to throw off a mound soon, Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic reports.

    Advice: Murphy also added that Williams remains on track to return just after the All-Star break, although that would seem to be a tentative timetable given that the reliever has yet to resume throwing off a mound. Williams is working his way back from multiple stress fractures in his back. Trevor Megill has operated as the Brewers' primary closer with Williams on the shelf. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Saturday’s A’s vs. Twins game postponed (rain)
    Saturday’s game between the Athletics and Twins has been postponed due to inclement weather.

    Advice: Rain in the forecast throughout the afternoon and evening in Minnesota made this one an easy call. It’ll be made up as a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon instead. Saturday’s scheduled starters -- Joey Estes and Bailey Ober -- will presumably be pushed back to take the ball at some point during Sunday’s twin bill at Target Field. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago

  • On bench Saturday
    Calhoun is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Giants, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

  • Likely moving into rotation
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said after Friday's loss to the Cardinals that Hendricks is likely to take Jordan Wicks' (oblique) spot in the rotation, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Advice: Hendricks came on in relief for the injured Wicks in the second inning and tossed 4.1 scoreless frames. The veteran right-hander has been disastrous on the whole this season with an 8.20 ERA, he's unscored upon over his last 8.2 innings out of the bullpen. Hendricks would tentatively be lined up to start Wednesday at home versus the Giants. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
