  • Has facial lacerations
    Rosario has facial lacerations stemming from being hit by a pitch during Saturday's game against the Pirates and there's optimism that he avoided any fractures, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Rosario was removed from Saturday's game in the first inning after being struck in the face by a 99 mile-per-hour pitch by Jared Jones. While he did sustain cuts on his face from the incident, initial reports about the injury seem optimistic and could've avoided any bone breaks. Rotowire.com Today, 2:23 pm

  • Christopher Morel wallops 446-foot homer in win
    Christopher Morel went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two RBI on Saturday, powering the Cubs to an 8-1 blowout victory over the Mets.

    Advice: Morel contributed a run-scoring single as part of Chicago’s five-run opening frame against Mets starter Tylor Megill before clobbering a gargantuan 446-foot solo shot to left-center field -- his 14th round-tripper of the season -- a couple innings later. It was a much-needed tater for Morel, who hadn’t gone deep since June 11. Rotoworld Today, 2:19 pm

    Siani's (ribs) X-rays came back clean after being removed from Saturday's game against San Francisco, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Siani was lifted from Saturday's contest with bruised ribs after making a diving catch in the third inning. While it seems as though Siani has avoided significant injury, his availability for Sunday's series finale remains up in the air. Rotowire.com Today, 2:14 pm

  • X-rays come back negative for Michael Siani (ribs)
    Cardinals’ manager Oli Marmol told reporters after Saturday’s contest that X-rays on the injured ribs of Michael Siani came back negative for any fractures.

    Advice: The 24-yea-rold suffered the injury when he made a phenomenal diving catch during Saturday’s game against the Giants. It sounds like he may need a day or two to recover before he’s ready to return to the Cardinals’ lineup, but shouldn’t require a trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Today, 2:07 pm

  • Sitting Sunday, MRI Monday
    Marte (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against the Cubs and will receive an MRI on Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Marte was removed from Saturday's game with right knee soreness, an issue that's lingered throughout June. The Mets will give Marte a day to rest before undergoing imaging on Monday's team day off to see if there's any structural damage. Rotowire.com Today, 2:06 pm
     
  • Alec Burleson homers, plates five in blowout win
    Alec Burleson went 3-for-4 with two homers and five RBI on Saturday, leading the Cardinals to a 9-4 blowout victory over the Giants.

    Advice: Burleson also stole a base in this one, just for good measure. It was arguably a career day for the 25-year-old corner outfielder as he notched his first multi-homer performance in the big leagues by taking former teammate Jordan Hicks deep for a three-run shot in the fourth inning before tacking on a two-run blast off reliever Sean Hjelle a couple frames later. He’ll continue to play regularly against right-handed pitching and is quietly emerging as a potential 25-plus homer threat, which is pretty remarkable considering he looked like nothing more than a bench player last year in his full-season debut.

  • Michael Conforto drives in three runs in loss
    Michael Conforto went 2-for-4 with three RBI on Saturday in the Giants’ loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Conforto was one of the few bright spots for San Francisco on Saturday afternoon in a one-sided affair at Busch Stadium. He extended the Giants’ early lead with a two-run single off Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas in the opening frame before tacking on an RBI double a couple innings later. The 31-year-old corner outfielder has been productive this season, when healthy, with eight homers and 25 RBI through 54 games. Rotoworld Today, 2:02 pm
     
  • Guarantees return Sunday
    Profar (knee) is available off the bench Saturday against the Brewers and will "100 percent" be playing in Sunday's series finale, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Profar was removed from Friday's game with a left knee issue and was held out of the starting lineup Saturday. However, he'll be back in action Sunday and appears to have avoided significant injury. He's in the midst of a breakout campaign at the age of 31, slashing .320/.415/.483 with 10 home runs across 317 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 1:49 pm
