  • Brandon Drury (illness) misses ninth straight game
    Brandon Drury (illness) was held out of the Angels’ lineup once again for Saturday evening’s tilt against the Tigers.

    Advice: It’s the ninth consecutive game that Drury has missed due to illness, though he remains on the active roster and has been with the team at the ballpark for each game. Luis Rengifo will slide over and cover second base in this one while Miguel Sano starts at the hot corner and bats cleanup against Reese Olson and the Tigers on Saturday night.

  • Brendan Rodgers homers, reaches three times in loss
    Brendan Rodgers went 2-for-2 with a home run, two runs scored, and a walk against the White Sox on Saturday.

    Advice: Rodgers put the Rockies on the board with a solo homer off Jonathan Cannon in the second inning. He then drew a walk to lead off the fifth and scored on a home run by Nolan Jones. Rodgers would reach again with a base hit to lead off the seventh. The 27-year-old second baseman is slashing a solid .280/.316/.410 with five homers and 27 RBI across 253 plate appearances.

  • 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

  • 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 (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.

  • Excellent production continues
    Altuve went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo home run Friday against the Mets.

    Advice: Altuve recorded his fourth consecutive multi-hit game and has maintained a .337 average across 23 games in June. His power has picked up of late, as he's now popped three homers in his last 10 starts while also swiping four bags in that span. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:48 am
     
  • Records fifth steal
    Schuemann went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Schuemann supplied a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and an RBI single in the eighth. The 27-year-old has gone 21 games without a multi-hit effort since his 4-for-4 performance in Atlanta on June 1. He was hitting .266 after that game, but he's at .226 now while adding a .630 OPS, three home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and five steals across 61 contests. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:07 pm
