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

    Advice: For the second straight game, Nevin will be in the dugout Saturday while Armando Alvarez starts at third base. Since making his major-league debut June 22, Alvarez has gone 6-for-12 with one RBI and one stolen base, and his encouraging play over the last week could mean the rookie and Nevin split starts in the infield until Abraham Toro (hamstring) returns from the injured list after the All-Star break.

  • Sitting Saturday
    Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Bauers has now missed two straight starts since hitting a grand slam during Wednesday's win over the Rangers. Rhys Hoskins will get the nod at first base while Christian Yelich serves as Milwaukee's DH. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago

  • Idle vs. southpaw Saturday
    Horwitz is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Horwitz will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the Yankees sending southpaw Nestor Cortes to the mound. Horwitz went 1-for-4 in Friday's 16-5 loss to the Yankees, and for the season he's slashing .340/.484/.500 with two home runs and six RBI over 64 plate appearances. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at second base Saturday and bat second. Rotowire.com Today, 8:33 am
     
  • Kyle Manzardo clubs two homers Friday at Triple-A
    Guardians 1B prospect Kyle Manzardo launched two homers on Friday for Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Manzardo struggled badly in his first taste of the majors earlier this season, but it’s becoming apparent that he’s simply too talented to continue languishing in the minors. The 23-year-old slugging prospect ripped a no-doubter to right field before lofting an impressive shot to left-center field a couple frames later. He boasts a stratospheric 1.021 OPS with 12 homers in 166 plate appearances this season at the Triple-A level. It feels like only a matter of time before he gets another shot in Cleveland.

  • Starting Saturday
    Sheets (heel) is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the cleanup spot for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Sheets returns to the starting lineup Saturday after missing the last two games due to a bruised left heel he sustained Wednesday against the Dodgers. The 28-year-old lefty pinch hit in the bottom of the sixth inning of Friday's 5-3 win over Colorado, reaching base on his only at-bat on an intentional walk. For the month of June, Sheets is slashing .257/.321/.419 with three home runs and nine RBI over 74 at-bats. Rotowire.com Today, 8:08 am

  • Three homers in four games
    Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the White Sox.

    Advice: Toglia took Tanner Banks yard in the seventh inning of Friday's game, tallying his third home run in his last four games. He's started 20 consecutive matchups while splitting time between first base and designated hitter. In that span, Toglia has hit .247 with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate, though he's also managed five homers, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 6:41 am
     
  • Smacks homer in win
    Renfroe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Renfroe went back-to-back with Salvador Perez in the second inning, and the Royals never looked back. This was Renfroe's second multi-hit effort in seven games since he returned from a bruised toe. He's up to eight homers, 28 RBI, 25 runs scored and one stolen base while slashing .211/.292/.389 through 63 contests. As long as Adam Frazier (thumb) remains on the injured list, Renfroe should see a majority of the playing time in right field for the Royals. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:42 pm

  • Placed on IL
    The Giants placed Flores on the 10-day injured list Friday with right knee tendinitis, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Flores has been slumping at the plate lately, going just 2-for-19 with three RBI in his last six games. He'll be sidelined for at least 10 days due to his knee, and starting first base duties will be given back to LaMonte Wade (hamstring), who was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Giants place Wilmer Flores (knee) on 10-day IL
    Giants placed INF Wilmer Flores on the 10-day injured list with left knee tendinitis.

    Advice: Flores has been battling the knee issue for a couple of weeks now so the Giants finally decided to sit him down and get him right. The timing worked out as LaMonte Wade was activated from the injured list on Friday and can handle the bulk of the action at first base while Flores is shelved. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:40 pm
