  • Getting Saturday off
    Sanchez isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Sanchez will sit down for the second game in a row Saturday despite the Marlins being matched up against right-hander Aaron Nola. Bryan De La Cruz will start in right field as a result, moving Josh Bell into the DH spot with Jake Burger at first base and Vidal Brujan at the hot corner. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Joey Ortiz back leading off Saturday against Cubs
    Joey Ortiz (neck) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Ortiz is back at the hot corner and leading off on Saturday after sitting out Friday’s contest due to neck tightness. The 25-year-old rookie infielder has been phenomenal this season in his Brewers debut with an .835 OPS to go along with seven homers and five steals over 251 plate appearances in 72 games.

  • Out of lineup Saturday
    Rocchio is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Rocchio will be absent from the lineup for the second time in three games Saturday. He went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Friday's 10-3 loss to Kansas City. Gabriel Arias will start at shortstop Saturday and bat ninth against Royals southpaw Cole Ragans. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to Reno
    The Diamondbacks optioned Hughes to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

    Advice: Hughes owns a 2.00 ERA through 27 frames at Triple-A, but he's allowed four earned runs in 3.1 innings since joining the Diamondbacks' bullpen Sunday. He'll now be sent back to Triple-A to make room for Zac Gallen (hamstring), who was reinstated from the IL in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting vs lefty Saturday
    Schneemann is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Schneemann will retreat to the dugout with the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the mound Saturday. Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Jose Iglesias gets nod at second base on Saturday
    Jose Iglesias is at second base and batting eighth for Saturday’s game against the Astros.

    Advice: Iglesias is becoming a bit of a cult hero in New York at the moment, and his on-field performance hasn’t been too shabby either. The 34-year-old journeyman infielder is batting .406 (13-for-32) since June 1. He’s pretty irrelevant for fantasy purposes, but his presence has injected some badly-needed life into the Mets clubhouse. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • DFA'd by Cleveland
    The Guardians designated Kent for assignment Saturday.

    Advice: Kent has been on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus since April 19 due to a right elbow strain. He pitched five scoreless innings across his three outings in the minors this season, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out eight. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned to Colombus
    The Guardians optioned McCaughan to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.

    Advice: After being recalled by the big club Thursday, McCaughan pitched four innings against the Royals on Friday, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out one. The move makes room on the 26-man roster for right-hander Eli Morgan (elbow), who was activated from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Activated off IL
    The Guardians activated Morgan (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

    Advice: Morgan will return from the IL for the second time this season after recovering from right elbow inflammation. He made two rehab outings in Triple-A, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over 1.2 innings. To make room for Morgan on the 26-man roster, Darren McCaughan was optioned to Triple-A Columbus.
