  • Miguel Rojas plates four as Dodgers top Giants
    Miguel Rojas went 3-for-5 and drove in four runs on Saturday night, propelling the Dodgers to a 14-7 victory over the Giants in 11 innings in San Francisco.

    Advice: Rojas got the Dodgers on the board in the second inning with an RBI single off of Spencer Howard that plated Andy Pages. He drove in Pages again with an RBI knock in the fourth inning then scored on an RBI single by Will Smith. The 35-year-old shortstop also drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning, dropping an RBI single into center field that plated Chris Taylor. He finished his night with a sacrifice fly that capped off a seven-run uprising in the 11th. With his three-hit attack, Rojas is now hitting .297/.346/.446 with three homers, 18 RBI and three stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:07 pm

  • Scratched with neck soreness
    Ortiz was scratched from the Brewers' lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Cubs due to neck soreness.

    Advice: Ortiz was originally in line to make his return to Milwaukee's lineup after neck problems kept him from playing Friday, but he'll instead require another day to rest up. As a result, Andruw Monasterio will pick up another start at third base and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:41 am

  • Joey Ortiz scratched Saturday with neck stiffness
    Joey Ortiz was scratched from Saturday’s lineup due to neck stiffness.

    Advice: Ortiz has been dealing with an ongoing neck issue the past couple days and it seems like the Brewers don’t want to take any chances at the moment. The 25-year-old was in Milwaukee’s original lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cubs, but he’s going to get an extra day of rest instead. It’ll be Andruw Monasterio taking over at third base and Brice Turang bumped up to the leadoff spot in his absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:39 am

  • Sitting against lefty
    Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: With lefty Max Fried slated to take the hill for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Tellez will step out of the lineup Saturday. Connor Joe will get the nod at first base and bat third. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:55 am
  • In Saturday's lineup
    Ortiz (neck) will start at third base and bat leadoff Saturday against 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 evidently feeling well enough to play Saturday. The 25-year-old 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 Yesterday, 10:18 am

  • 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.

  • Santiago Espinal designated hitless in loss
    Santiago Espinal went 0-for-4 as the Reds’ DH in the shutout loss to the Cardinals on Friday.

    Advice: We’re not saying it tops “for sale: baby shoes, never worn,” but “Santiago Espinal, designated hitter” is also an awfully sad story and is two entire words shorter. The Cincinnati lineup tonight was a product of the Reds keeping Jeimer Candelario and Jake Fraley in injury limbo for the third straight game; neither could even DH tonight, but the Reds still didn’t want to commit to IL stints. Espinal is currently batting .198/.246/.287 in... wait, that can’t be right... 187 plate appearances? Rotoworld Friday, 8:54 pm

  • Giants activate LaMonte Wade Jr. from 10-day IL
    Giants activated 1B/OF LaMonte Wade Jr. from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: As expected, the 30-year-old slugger will return to start at first base and bat second on Friday night against Landon Knack and the Dodgers. Prior to landing on the injured list in late May with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Wade had been hitting .333/.470/.426 with a pair of homers, 17 RBI and one stolen base through his first 166 plate appearances.

  • Batting second in return
    Wade (hamstring) is playing first base and batting second Friday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Wade will make his return from a Grade 2 hamstring strain he sustained in late May. The first baseman played three rehab games and went 1-for-7 with three runs scored, four walks and two strikeouts. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:48 pm
