  • Held out Saturday
    Laureano (back) isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Laureano is still managing a sore back, so he'll take a seat for the third game in a row as Atlanta faces Paul Skenes and the Pirates. Adam Duvall will pick up another start in right field while Laureano recovers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:37 am
     
  • Added to lineup
    Sanchez will serve as Miami's designated hitter and bat fourth Saturday against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Sanchez was left out of the Marlins' initial lineup for Saturday's contest, but he'll now enter the starting nine after Vidal Brujan (undisclosed) was scratched. Sanchez has gone 9-for-36 with three home runs, six RBI and six runs scored over his last 10 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:42 am

  • Getting Saturday off
    Sanchez isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Sanchez will sit down for the second game in a row Saturday despite the Marlins being matched up against right-hander Aaron Nola.

  • Rockies activate Charlie Blackmon on Saturday
    Rockies activated OF Charlie Blackmon from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Blackmon returns following a minimum stay on the injured list recovering from a mild right hamstring strain. The 37-year-old outfielder was one of the premier five-category impact contributors in the entire fantasy landscape earlier in his career, but has remained a decent plug-in streaming option for fantasy managers during Coors Field homestands. He’s batting .266/.337/.410 with three homers and five steals in 246 plate appearances this season, splitting time between right field and designated hitter. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:29 am
     
  • Returns from IL
    The Rockies reinstated Blackmon (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

    Advice: Blackmon has been held out of action since he strained his right hamstring June 18 against the Dodgers, but he was able to recover quickly and will now return from the IL following a minimum-length stay. The 37-year-old outfielder had been heating up at the plate prior to getting injured, slashing .333/.397/.509 across 63 plate appearances since the beginning of June. Sean Bouchard (back) was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:23 am
