  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. leaves game with tight biceps
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. was removed from Saturday’s game against the Mariners due to tightness in his right biceps.

    Advice: The 26-year-old outfielder had been 1-for-2 with a single and a strikeout when Vidal Brujan surprisingly hit for him in the sixth inning. The severity of the injury is not yet known, so be sure to check his status on Sunday. It may be wise for fantasy managers to have a contingency plan in place for next week in the event that Chisholm requires a trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Saturday, 5:12 pm
     
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. in Saturday’s lineup vs. M’s
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hamstring) is in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Chisholm is back in center field for the second straight contest after being scratched earlier this week due to right hamstring tightness. It doesn’t look like it’s going to be an issue going forward, but fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status in the coming days. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:41 am
     
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. day-to-day with triceps contusion
    Fernando Tatis Jr. is day-to-day with a left triceps contusion, the Padres announced.

    Advice: Tatis left Friday’s game after he was in the elbow by a pitch. If he can’t play Saturday, then José Azocar will probably play right field. Rotoworld Friday, 9:32 pm
     
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. leaves game after hit by pitch
    Fernando Tatis Jr. was pulled from Friday night’s battle against the Brewers after he was hit by a pitch on his left elbow.

    Advice: The 25-year-old superstar remained in the game to run the bass for himself and even played another couple of innings in the field, but he was ultimately lifted for a pinch-hitter the next time that his spot came around in the Padres’ lineup. He’ll presumably head for X-rays to rule out any potential fractures. Stay tuned, as the Padres should have an update on his status after the game. Rotoworld Friday, 8:26 pm
     
  • Exits after HBP
    Tatis was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers after being hit by a pitch on the elbow, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Tatis was plunked in the third inning, though he stayed in the contest for two more frames before being removed for a pinch hitter. The Padres should provide an update on his availability after the game. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:24 pm
     
  • Returning to lineup
    Chisholm (hamstring) will start in center field and bat leadoff in Friday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Chisholm was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup due to a tight right hamstring, but it will be just a one-game absence, as he's feeling well enough to give it a go for the Marlins after Thursday's off day. He enters play Friday having slashed .394/.447/.636 over his last 10 games. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:15 pm
     
  • Idle Wednesday
    Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: After starting the series 0-for-6, Adell will receive a day off for Wednesday's rubber match. Kevin Pillar will instead get the nod to start in right field while batting fourth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:02 pm

  • Jo Adell absent from Angels’ lineup on Wednesday
    Jo Adell is absent from the Angels’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Brewers.

    Advice: The streaky 25-year-old outfielder has been more cold than hot as of late — slashing a cringe-inducing .118/.193/.196 with one homer, six RBI and a 23/4 K/BB ratio over 57 plate appearances in 16 games since the calendar flipped to June. He has still provided fantasy managers with power and speed, but eventually something is going to have to give if he can’t make consistent contact. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:59 pm

  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. scratched with tight hamstring
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup because of right hamstring tightness.

    Advice: He’s supposed to be available off the bench, but the Marlins changed their minds about starting him at DH. It’s just the third time this season that he’s been out of the starting lineup and the first time due to injury. Vidal Bruján is playing center field today after his game-winning hit last night.
