  • Juan Soto scratched Saturday with hand contusion
    Juan Soto was scratched from Saturday’s lineup due to a right hand contusion.

    Advice: Soto is dealing with a bruise on his right hand that he suffered on a fourth-inning slide into home plate during Friday’s eventual 16-5 rout of the division-rival Blue Jays. The 25-year-old impending free agent, who blasted his 20th homer later in the contest after suffering the injury, is headed for some precautionary imaging to rule out anything serious. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. There should be an additional update on his status at some point on Saturday evening. Stay tuned. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

  • Scratched from lineup
    Soto was scratched from the Yankees' lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus Toronto due to a right hand contusion, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Soto suffered the injury while sliding into home plate during the fourth inning of Friday's contest. He is slated to undergo imaging on his hand to see whether he's dealing with a more serious injury, and the Yankees should offer an update on his condition once they get the results back. In the meantime, Oswaldo Cabrera will enter the lineup as New York's right fielder and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Not starting versus lefty
    Pederson isn't in Arizona's lineup Saturday against the Athletics.

    Advice: Pederson will sit down for the second game in a row with the Diamondbacks matching up against a left-handed starter (Hogan Harris) again Saturday. Ketel Marte will fill in as Arizona's designated hitter, allowing Blaze Alexander to start at the keystone while batting second. Rotowire.com Today, 11:12 am
     
  • Resting versus LHP
    Suwinski isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: With left-handed starter Max Fried set to toe the slab for Atlanta, Suwinski will remain in the dugout for the beginning of Saturday's contest. Michael Taylor will fill the void in center field, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 10:59 am
     
  • Back in lineup Saturday
    Fraley (calf) is starting in right field and batting fourth Saturday against St. Louis.

    Advice: Fraley missed three games after being scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to a bruised calf, but the issue has subsided ahead of Saturday's contest. The 29-year-old outfielder currently owns a career-best .277 batting average on the season; however, his .676 OPS represents his lowest mark since joining the Reds in 2022.

  • Jake Fraley returns to lineup Saturday vs. Cards
    Jake Fraley (calf) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Fraley is back at designated hitter and batting cleanup on Saturday afternoon following a three-game absence due to a right calf issue. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to wind up missing any additional time, but we’ll see. Rotoworld Today, 8:34 am

  • Two more steals in win
    Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Garcia was briefly bumped down the order last weekend, but he hasn't really rebounded since returning to the leadoff spot for the last five games. His multi-hit effort Friday was his first since June 14 and just his third such game in June, a month in which he's batting .153 (15-for-98). The infielder is now at a .234/.288/.347 slash line with five home runs, 40 RBI, 51 runs scored and 21 steals over 82 contests, with his speed being the biggest upside in his game this year.

  • Goes deep in win
    Soderstrom went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Soderstrom has hit all but one of his homers this season over his last 17 games, batting .262 (16-for-61) in that span. The 22-year-old is at a .229/.321/.449 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI, 12 runs scored and five doubles across 41 contests overall. He's seen regular playing time at first base against right-handed pitchers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:18 pm
     
  • Slugs homer No. 20
    Soto went 2-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and three total runs scored in Friday's 16-5 rout of the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The 25-year-old outfielder took Yusei Kikuchi deep in the sixth inning, giving the Yankees their first lead of the game before the floodgates opened late. The long ball was Soto's 20th of the season, and he has 60 RBI through 81 games -- only Aaron Judge (79) and Jose Ramirez (73) have driven in more runs in the American League so far this year.
