  • Scratched Saturday
    Brujan was scratched from the Marlins' lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus Philadelphia, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Marlins have not yet provided a reason for Brujan's removal from the lineup, but the team should offer some clarity within the near future. In the meantime, Jake Burger will shift to third base for Brujan while Josh Bell moves to first, allowing Jesus Sanchez to enter the lineup as Miami's DH. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • In Saturday's lineup
    Ortiz (neck) will start at third base and bat leadoff during Saturday's game versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Ortiz made an early exit from Wednesday's game versus the Rangers and sat out Friday's series opener due to neck problems, but he's feeling well enough to play Saturday. The 25-year-old third baseman has found a good amount of success at the plate recently, going 5-for-14 with a solo home run over his last five games. Rotowire.com 22 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.

  • 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 40 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 40 minutes ago
     
  • Idle Saturday
    McNeil isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

    Advice: McNeil will get a day off Saturday after going 3-for-4 with a three-run homer during Friday's win. Jose Iglesias will start at second base instead and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago

  • Brandon Lowe returns to Saturday’s lineup vs. Nats
    Brandon Lowe (toe) has returned to the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Lowe is at designated hitter and batting second on Saturday after coming off the bench as a pinch-hitter during Friday’s showdown. The 29-year-old second baseman is making his first start since last weekend when he suffered a fractured right toe. He’ll continue playing as long as he can manage the main.

  • Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) nears rehab assignment
    Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) is expected to progress to a minor league rehab assignment at some point next week.

    Advice: Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol told reporters Edman fielded grounders on Friday without any ankle issues, and will progress to a rehab assignment with either Double-A Springfield or Triple-A Memphis in the coming days, assuming he gets through the rest of the weekend without a setback. The 29-year-old center fielder is working his way back from offseason wrist surgery and figures to be ready to return at some point in July. Rotoworld Today, 9:35 am
