  • Belts first homer
    Stubbs went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: The 31-year-old backstop got the Phillies on the board in the third inning by clubbing a Roddery Munoz sinker over the right-field fence. The homer was Stubbs' first of the season, and he's been making a modest impact since J.T. Realmuto (knee) was sidelined, hitting safely in nine of his last 10 games and batting .278 (10-for-36) over that stretch. Saturday's homer was his first of the season, while the RBI was his first since June 2. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
  • Will Smith drives in three runs in Dodgers victory
    Will Smith went 3-for-6 with a double and three RBI on Saturday night as the Dodgers outlasted the Giants in 11 innings.

    Advice: Smith beat out an infield single in the fourth inning that drove in a run and knotted the score at five runs apiece. He then delivered the game’s biggest hit in the 11th inning, smacking a two-run double that gave the Dodgers a two-run lead and put them well on their way to victory. With his three-hit night, the 29-year-old backstop is now hitting .269/.339/.466 with 11 homers and 50 RBI on the season. Rotoworld 57 minutes ago
  • Garrett Stubbs homers in loss to Marlins
    Garrett Stubbs went 1-for-2 with a solo homer against the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Stubbs put the Phillies on the board with a solo homer off Roddery Muñoz to lead off the third inning, his first homer of the season. It was one of two runs the Phillies would score in the loss to Miami. The 29-year-old backstop has taken over as the primary catcher with J.T. Realmuto on the injured list. He’s slashing .216/.281/.261 across 96 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 3:50 pm
  • Swinging bat, plans to catch
    Herrera (back) said Saturday that he has been swinging a bat over the past several days and plans on catching a bullpen session soon, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Herrera added that he may progress to participating in batting practice within the next several days, and a rehab assignment could come shortly afterward if his back responds properly. However, it's possible the Cardinals opt to keep him in the minor leagues once he's activated now that Willson Contreras and Pedro Pages are both on the active roster. Rotowire.com Today, 12:24 pm

  • Mets outright Joe Hudson to Triple-A
    Mets sent C Joe Hudson outright to Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Hudson got into one game earlier this month for the Mets with Luis Torrens away from the club on paternity leave. The 33-year-old journeyman backstop has done a nice job the last few years serving as emergency organizational catching depth for several organizations. Rotoworld Today, 11:55 am

  • Gabriel Moreno (thumb) won’t need rehab assignment
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Gabriel Moreno (thumb) is not expected to require a rehab assignment.

    Advice: Moreno is getting back up to speed in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League at the moment, but Lovullo made it sound like he’ll return on Tuesday instead of getting into some additional minor league contests. The 24-year-old backstop has been out since last weekend due to a left thumb sprain. Rotoworld Today, 11:35 am
  • Getting Saturday off
    Barnhart isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game versus Oakland.

    Advice: The switch-hitting Barnhart owns just a .290 OPS this season against left-handed pitching, so he'll take a seat Saturday as the A's send southpaw Hogan Harris to the mound. Jose Herrera will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:05 am
  • Idle Saturday
    Murphy isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Murphy has gone just 3-for-17 with three strikeouts and four walks over his last six games, and he'll get a day to regroup Saturday as Atlanta faces Paul Skenes and the Pirates. Travis d'Arnaud will start behind the plate instead and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 10:52 am
  • Getting Saturday off
    Amaya isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Amaya struck out in both of his at-bats during a loss in Friday's series opener, and he'll give way to Tomas Nido for Saturday's contest. Rotowire.com Today, 10:49 am
