  • Bailey Falter pulled in third with apparent injury
    Bailey Falter was pulled from Saturday’s start against the Mets in the third inning due to an apparent injury.

    Advice: Falter delivered five straight balls in the third inning — including a walk of J.D. Martinez to load the bases — which prompted a visit from the training staff. After a quick consultation, the decision was made to remove Falter from the ballgame. He’ll head for further evaluation. Expect the Pirates to provide an update on his status before the game concludes. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
  • Idle Saturday
    Jones isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Jones has gone just 1-for-13 with seven strikeouts over his last four games, and the Rockies will give him a chance to clear his head Saturday. Sam Hilliard will get the nod to start in left field instead while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Not starting Saturday
    Merrifield is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Merrifield went 1-for-5 with two stolen bases in Friday's 8-6 win, and over his last 12 games he's gone 5-for-28. Alec Marsh, Johan Rojas and Nick Castellanos will be in the outfield for the Phillies for Saturday's contest. Rotowire.com Today, 1:01 pm
  • Throws 21 pitches Saturday
    Bednar (oblique) threw 21 pitches in a live batting practice Saturday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Bednar utilized all three of his pitches in Saturday's session as he faced live batters for the first time in his rehab program. It's another positive step for the 29-year-old as he works his way back from a left oblique strain. Bednar appeared in 34 games before landing on the injured list June 23, earning 16 saves with a 5.17 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 32:7 K:BB across 31.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 12:55 pm
  • Throws two hitless innings Friday
    Cobb (hip/shoulder) struck out five batters and allowed one walk over two innings in his rehab start with Single-A San Jose on Friday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Cobb threw 45 pitches in his second rehab start Friday. Through two outings, he's recorded nine strikeouts while giving up just one run on two hits and a walk over four frames. Cobb should see his workload increase as he progresses through his recovery, and the 36-year-old will aim to return to the big club shortly after the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Today, 12:47 pm
  • Kyle Schwarber likely to return on Tuesday
    Kyle Schwarber (groin) is scheduled to run the bases on Saturday.

    Advice: Schwarber is poised to complete his final step towards returning this weekend and appears a near-lock to return on Tuesday when the Phillies kick off a highly-anticipated series against the Dodgers. Rotoworld Today, 12:45 pm
  • Edward Cabrera (shoulder) back Sunday vs. White Sox
    Edward Cabrera (shoulder) will start on Sunday against the White Sox.

    Advice: It’s a nice landing spot for Cabrera, who has looked sharp in a handful of recent minor league rehab starts. The 26-year-old righty has been out since early May due to a right shoulder impingement. He’s showcased immense talent in the majors over the last few years, but hasn’t quite put it all together consistently enough for fantasy managers to make a significant impact. He should be rostered in deeper mixed leagues, even if there are going to be fluctuations from start-to-start from a results standpoint. Rotoworld Today, 12:32 pm
  • Set to be activated on road trip
    Leiter (forearm) threw a live batting practice Saturday, and manager Craig Counsell said that the right-hander will be activated from the 15-day IL during the Cubs' upcoming road series against the Orioles, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Leiter landed on the injured list June 23 due to a right forearm strain. The 33-year-old won't require a rehab assignment, and he could available out of the Cubs' bullpen as soon as Tuesday in Baltimore. Leiter has a 5.34 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 28.2 innings this season.

  • Kyle Hendricks exits start with back tightness
    Kyle Hendricks was removed from Saturday’s start against the Angels due to lower back tightness.

    Advice: It’s concerning because Hendricks missed a couple weeks earlier this season due to a back issue. The 34-year-old righty was tagged for two runs on four hits over two innings before leaving Saturday’s contest at Wrigley Field. He’ll presumably undergo some additional testing to determine the severity of the issue. Rotoworld Today, 12:26 pm
