    • Fields grounders Friday
      Rendon (hamstring) progressed to taking groundballs Friday, per MLB.com.

      Advice: Rendon resumed baseball activities earlier in the week, making throws and taking swings in the batting cages. His ability Friday to take grounders -- albeit only on balls that were hit right at him in order to avoid lateral movement -- was another sign of progress, and Rendon is expected to put his strained left hamstring to an even bigger test by jogging Saturday. Rendon remains weeks away from a return, but it's now feasible that he could be back with the Angels by the end of June. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
       
    • Continuing to sit
      Davis is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.

      Advice: Saturday marks the third game in a row that Davis will not start. The lefty-hitting Tyler Soderstrom will once again start at first base Saturday while batting seventh against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Rotowire.com Today, 10:46 am

    • Taking seat Saturday
      Turner is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

      Advice: Turner will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 0-for-3 with one walk and two strikeouts in the series opener Friday. The lefty-hitting Daniel Vogelbach will serve as the designated hitter Saturday and bat sixth against Athletics right-hander Luis Medina. Rotowire.com Today, 10:29 am

    • Justyn-Henry Malloy in LF on Saturday vs. Brewers
      Justyn-Henry Malloy is in left field and batting sixth on Saturday against the Brewers.

      Advice: Malloy draws his first start in the outfield after spending four straight contests at designated hitter to open his big-league career. The 24-year-old on-base machine has gone 2-for-11 with a solo homer in 13 plate appearances so far. The lack of elite over-the-fence power upside limits his appeal to deeper mixed leagues and AL-only formats for now. Rotoworld Today, 9:44 am
       
    • Sitting Saturday
      Lopez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Despite Boston sending right-hander Brayan Bello to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Lopez will begin the game in the dugout while Danny Mendick starts at second base. Lopez started in the first two games of the series, going 1-for-8 with two strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 9:06 am

    • Ramping up activity
      Polanco (hamstring) has been ramping up baseball activities but will require a minor-league rehab assignment before activation, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The veteran infielder took full infield pregame practice during the Mariners' three-game road trip in Oakland earlier in the week, and there were no reported setbacks. However, manager Scott Servais confirmed before Friday's series opener against the Royals that Polanco would require at least a brief rehab assignment, which would likely unfold at Triple-A Tacoma in coming days.

    • Reaches three times in loss
      Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

      Advice: Busch came into the contest in a bit of a slump, as he was just 1-for-10 over his previous six games. Overall, he's slowed down some after a strong start to the season, though he still has a solid .783 OPS and provides decent pop against righties. While Busch continues to generally sit against lefties, he has at least batted .304 (7-for-23) against them when given the opportunity. Rotowire.com Today, 7:32 am
       
    • Starts at third base
      Duran started at third base and went 2-for-3 an RBI in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Giants.

      Advice: Duran entered the lineup with Corey Seager (hamstring) on the bench. Josh Smith, the primary fill-in for Josh Jung (wrist) at third base, moved to shortstop, paving the way for Duran to make his eighth start of the season at the hot corner. He's hit safely in four consecutive games and 11 of the last 13. Seager's injury is not considered serious, but he could need a couple more days, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.

    • Up as 27th man
      The Mets recalled Baty from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

      Advice: Baty will likely serve as a backup during New York's two-game series against the Phillies in London. He figures to head back to Triple-A once the Mets return to the States, where he'll begin taking reps at second base for the first time in his career. Rotowire.com Today, 6:05 am
