  • Day off Saturday
    Mountcastle isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Mountcastle will get a day to regroup Saturday after going 0-for-10 at the plate over his last three games. Ryan O'Hearn will fill in for Mountcastle at first base, moving Heston Kjerstad into the DH spot while Colton Cowser picks up another start in left field. Rotowire.com Today, 1:37 pm
     
  • Ryan Mountcastle absent from O’s lineup Saturday
    Ryan Mountcastle is not in the Orioles’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s showdown against the Rangers.

    Advice: It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 27-year-old slugger. Ryan O’Hearn will spell Mountcastle at first base, allowing Heston Kjerstad to function as the team’s designated hitter while Colton Cowser covers left field against Michael Lorenzen and the Rangers on Friday evening in Baltimore.

  • 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 Today, 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 Today, 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 Today, 10:14 am

  • Sitting Saturday as expected
    Candelario (hamstring) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Manager David Bell said Friday that Candelario is trending toward a return for Sunday's series finale, so it isn't too surprising to see the 30-year-old infielder absent from Saturday's lineup. Spencer Steer will once again get the nod at first base, and Noelvi Marte will cover the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 8:49 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 Today, 8:33 am
     
  • Jeimer Candelario sitting out Saturday vs. Cards
    Jeimer Candelario (knee) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: As expected, Candelario is sitting out Saturday’s contest due to right knee tendinitis, but there’s optimism he’ll be ready to return for Sunday’s series finale. Rotoworld Today, 8:31 am
