    • Removed from game
      Bird was taken out of Saturday's game against the Nationals with what appears to be a groin injury, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Bird had allowed one run on two hits and a walk in one-third of the seventh inning but was checked out by trainers an removed from the contest after throwing a warm-up pitch during a review. He appeared to reach toward the groin area after the pitch, signaling that it's likely unrelated to the elbow inflammation that sidelined him for almost a month. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
       
    • Best game of season
      McCormick went 3-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Orioles.

      Advice: McCormick got a rare start versus a right-hander -- his second in the last three games -- and he made it count by taking Corbin Burnes deep in the fifth inning. All three of McCormick's homers this year have come within his last five games, and he's added six RBI and six runs scored in that span. Overall, he's posted a mediocre .225/.286/.358 slash line with 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and three stolen bases across 133 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
       
    • Hits 10th homer
      Schneider went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Schneider has gone 7-for-28 (.250) with three homers over his last eight games. He's usually hit leadoff this season, but he was dropped to sixth in the order Saturday, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa moving up to the top spot and slugging two homers of his own. Schneider's .227 batting average isn't great for a leadoff hitter, though his .319 on-base percentage is a bit more passable. He's added 10 homers, 35 RBI, 32 runs scored, three stolen bases and 15 doubles over 251 plate appearances. While he could ultimately stick lower in the order, Schneider's short-term playing time should be safe after Daulton Varsho left Saturday's contest with back soreness.

    • Two solo shots in loss
      Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a hit-by-pitch in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Kiner-Falefa had not posted an extra-base hit over his previous 10 games, though he hit .281 (9-for-32) in that span. The 29-year-old also snapped a homer drought dating back to May 26. For the season, he's up to six homers in 75 contests, matching his total form 115 games a year ago. He's added a .281/.325/.408 slash line with 31 RBI, 22 runs scored and three stolen bases. He had exclusively hit in the bottom third of the order, but he was batting leadoff for Saturday's contest -- a move up the order would likely lead to better overall production if he can stay there.

    • Trent Grisham goes deep in victory over Braves
      Trent Grisham went 1-for-2 with a solo homer as the Yankees triumphed over the Braves on Saturday evening.

      Advice: Grisham entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Giancarlo Stanton in the sixth inning where he went down on strikes. He then swatted a 348-foot solo shot off of Jesse Chavez in the seventh that capped off the scoring in the ballgame. On the season, the 27-year-old outfielder is now hitting .111/.260/.302 with four homers and 10 RBI. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
       
    • Swats homer in Saturday's win
      Schneemann went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Schneemann has hit both of his homers this season over his last five games. The 26-year-old continues to find ways into the lineup -- he's hitting .297 with a .990 OPS over 45 plate appearances since he was called up June 2. He's primarily seen time in center field and at third base and shortstop, and his defensive versatility should help him continue to carve out decent playing time, though he's unlikely to get a majority of the reps at any one position.

    • Marcus Stroman beats Braves to improve to 7-3
      Marcus Stroman picked up his seventh victory of the season on Saturday night, limiting the Braves to three runs on just three hits over his 6 2/3 innings of work.

      Advice: Stroman piled up six strikeouts on the evening while issuing a pair of walks. The 33-year-old hurler had allowed just one run through his first six innings of work, but he returned for the seventh where he served up a two-run blast to Travis d’Arnaud before exiting. Stroman got 12 swings and misses on 93 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. Now 7-3 on the season, he’ll tote a 3.15 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 67/40 K/BB ratio (91 1/3 innings) into Friday’s battle against the Blue Jays in Toronto. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
       
    • Travis d’Arnaud goes deep in loss to Yankees
      Travis d’Arnaud clobbered a two-run homer on Saturday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Braves past the Yankees in New York.

      Advice: The 35-year-old backstop tagged Marcus Stroman for a 355-foot (98.9 mph EV) two-run shot in the seventh inning that pulled the Braves to within four runs at 7-3. That would be as close as they would get. It was also d’Arnaud’s only hit in three at-bats on the evening. On the season, he’s now slashing .242/.310/.464 with seven long balls and 24 RBI, though his utility from a fantasy perspective has fallen by the wayside following the return of Sean Murphy at the end of May.

    • Slugs homer in win
      Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Naylor snapped a 25-game homer drought dating back to May 4. The catcher has struggled at the plate for much of the campaign, but he's gone a respectable 6-for-23 (.261) over his last seven contests. With the Guardians carrying three catchers, Naylor's margin for error at the plate is thin -- he doesn't have the defensive skill of Austin Hedges or the offensive consistency of David Fry in his favor. Naylor is slashing .184/.253/.291 with four homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base over 174 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:12 pm
