  • Absent from lineup
    Lopez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Lopez has been operating as the Marlins' primary second baseman, but his production has slowed in June with just a .477 OPS. He'll get a day off to regroup while Vidal Brujan handles the keystone. Rotowire.com Today, 10:58 am

  • Joey Ortiz walks three times Friday in return
    Joey Ortiz (hamstring) went 0-for-2 with an RBI and also walked three times on Friday in his return to the lineup.

    Advice: Ortiz was back at third base and batting seventh on Friday night agains the Reds following a two-game absence due to right hamstring soreness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward for the 25-year-old infielder, who is in the midst of a true breakout season in his Brewers debut. Rotoworld Today, 4:11 am

  • Colt Keith collects two hits in loss to Astros
    Colt Keith went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles as the Tigers were shut out by the Astros on Friday evening in Houston.

    Advice: As a team, the Tigers were only able to muster five total hits against Hunter Brown and company on Friday night, with Keith the only member of the squad to have more than one. The 22-year-old’s bat has started to heat up after a miserable start to his MLB career, but he’s still slashing an underwhelming .222/.273/.284 with just two homers, 19 RBI and three stolen bases in 60 games on the season.

  • Enmanuel Valdez plates lone run in loss to Yankees
    Enmanuel Valdez doubled and drove in the Red Sox’ lone run in Friday night’s loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder smacked an RBI double off of the center field wall off of Luis Gil in the fourth inning, pulling the Red Sox to within two runs at 3-1. That would be as close as they would get. He also drew a walk in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-2. On the season, Valdez is hitting just .203/.246/.407 with five homers and 23 RBI.

  • Jose Caballero leaves game with illness Friday
    Jose Caballero was removed from Friday’s battle against the Braves in the fourth inning due to illness.

    Advice: Most observers raised an eyebrow when Caballero was replaced by Richie Palacios in the ballgame, but it turns out he was simply feeling a bit under the weather. He’s considered day-to-day and should return to the Rays’ lineup at some point before the weekend is through. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:24 pm
