  • Garrett Mitchell not likely to join Brewers Sunday
    Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy said after Saturday’s loss to the Cubs that he didn’t expect Garrett Mitchell to join the big league roster on Sunday.

    Advice: It’s curious, as Murphy told reporters after Friday’s game that there was no plan to option Mitchell to Triple-A Nashville once his rehab assignment came to an end on Saturday. Something has to give. It sounds like the 25-year-old outfielder is going to remain at the Triple-A level for the time being instead of adding to an already crowded outfield mix in Milwaukee.

  • Nick Gordon homers in win over Phillies
    Nick Gordon went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in the Marlins 3-2 win over the Phillies on Saturday.

    Advice: Gordon took Aaron Nola deep for a solo homer in the second inning to put the Marlins on the board. He got on base with a single in the ninth for his second hit of the day. The 28-year-old outfielder is slashing .232/.255/.401 with eight homers, 29 RBI, and five steals across 216 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 3:50 pm

  • Andujar singles in loss at Arizona
    Miguel Andujar went 1-for-4 against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Advice: It was a quiet afternoon for the Athletics’ offense. Andujar is hitting .315 on the season, but his lack of power is staggering. He has an .098 ISO on the year. Andujar’s average might not be so high much longer as his BABIP is .349 despite a career .299 BABIP. His 12 percent strikeout percentage is in a good spot, but we’ve been down this road with Andujar before and he’s more of a .250 hitter with middling power. Rotoworld Today, 3:42 pm
     
  • Isiah Kiner-Falefa collects four hits against Yankees
    Isiah Kiner-Falefa went 4-for-5 with a double, three runs scored, and one RBI against the Yankees on Saturday.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa had an excellent day at the plate, collecting four hits against the Yankees while cross home plate three time and driving in one run. The 29-year-old infielder is slashing a strong .296/.343/.427 with seven homers, 32 runs scored, 33 RBI, and three steals across 277 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 3:07 pm

  • Idle Saturday
    Canzone is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Canzone will get the night off Saturday after making six consecutive starts. Instead, Mitch Haniger will fill right field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:47 pm
     
  • Dealing with knee soreness
    Hays is dealing with swelling and soreness in his knee, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Advice: Hays jammed his knee while making a play in the outfield Tuesday and hasn't appeared in a game since. He could be available off the bench Saturday, but there's a chance the Orioles wait until his knee has fully recovered before putting him back in a game. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm

  • Austin Hays sits due to soreness in right knee
    Austin Hays was held out of the Orioles’ starting lineup once again on Saturday due to soreness and swelling in his right knee.

    Advice: Hays jammed his knee near the wall while patrolling the outfield earlier in the week, which is the reason that he has been held out of action since Tuesday. There’s a chance that he could be available off the O’s bench during Saturday night’s tilt against the Rangers. Rotoworld Today, 1:57 pm

  • Taking seat Saturday
    Taveras isn't in the Rangers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Taveras will get a breather Saturday after going 3-for-7 with an RBI through the first two games of the series. Derek Hill will fill the void in center field and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:54 pm
     
  • Ankle injury not considered serious
    Manager Oliver Marmol said Saturday that Edman (wrist) was able to field grounders again Friday without any problems in his sprained ankle, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: Marmol added that Edman remains on track to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield or Triple-A Memphis sometime next week, barring any setbacks. The 29-year-old infielder has spent all season on the injured list, so an extended stint in the minors will likely be necessary, though it's still possible he'll be able to rejoin the big-league club before the All-Star break.
