  • Not facing lefty
    Mitchell is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: With southpaw James Paxton on the mound for Los Angeles, the lefty-hitting Mitchell will take a seat on the bench. Since being activated from the injured list July 1, Mitchell is 2-for-13 (.154) with four walks and four strikeouts. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
  • Idle against LHP
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Bauers will be on the bench for a third consecutive game, though Saturday's contest is the first of that span against a southpaw. Rhys Hoskins will play first base and bat sixth. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Leading off Saturday
    Chourio is the DH and batting leadoff for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Chourio hasn't slotted in at leadoff since April 23 and will be making his first career start at DH. The rookie is riding an 11-game hit streak and owns a .251/.300/.397 slash line through 268 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
  • 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 34 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 44 minutes ago

    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
