Player Notes

  • Sitting down Saturday
    D'Arnaud (head) isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: D'Arnaud exited Friday's contest with dizziness after taking a foul ball off his facemask, and it appears to still be affecting him ahead of Saturday's game. The 35-year-old backstop was cleared of a concussion immediately following the incident, but Atlanta is likely approaching the situation cautiously given d'Arnaud's history with concussions. Chadwick Tromp will start behind the plate and bat ninth Saturday. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
  • Not starting Saturday
    Ruiz isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Ruiz is slashing just .147/.190/.221 through 100 plate appearances on the year, so he will give way to Riley Adams on Saturday as the Nats look for more production at the plate from their catcher. Rotowire.com Today, 12:29 pm
  • Patrick Bailey (concussion) resumes baseball activities
    Patrick Bailey (concussion) has been cleared to resume baseball activities.

    Advice: Bailey was evaluated by Dr. Mickey Collins, a concussion expert in Pittsburgh, and has been cleared to resume baseball activities. The 24-year-old backstop has had a pair of stints this month on the concussion injured list and will be re-evaluated next week before the Giants determine whether he’ll be activated.

  • Sits down versus lefty
    Sabol isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Left-hander Ty Blach will start on the mound for Colorado, meaning the lefty-hitting Sabol will begin Saturday's contest on the bench. Curt Casali will start instead behind the dish while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:02 am
  • Sitting third straight
    Diaz (hand) isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Left hand soreness will cause Diaz to miss his third game in a row Saturday. The Rockies haven't made any indication that the 33-year-old backstop is trending toward an IL stint, but he may have to spend time on the injured list if his condition doesn't improve within the next couple of days. Hunter Goodman will start behind the plate and bat eighth while Diaz recovers. Rotowire.com Today, 10:54 am
  • Sitting down Saturday
    Rortvedt isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Rortvedt will take a seat after going 0-for-4 with a run scored and two strikeouts during Friday's series opener. Alex Jackson will take over behind the plate while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 10:38 am
  • Activated, optioned to Triple-A
    Heineman (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Heineman has been out since April 23 with a right hamstring strain, but he'll now return to action with Triple-A. The catcher has produced a .235 average with a double, three RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases over 34 at-bats in 12 games with Worcester this season. With both Connor Wong and Reese McGuire healthy and on the major-league roster, Heineman is likely the next man up if Boston needs another backstop down the road. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
  • Resting Saturday
    Grandal isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Grandal will get a breather Saturday after going 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored during Friday's win. Joey Bart will replace the 35-year-old veteran behind the plate, batting seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 10:17 am
  • Day off Saturday
    Amaya isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against Pittsburgh.

    Advice: After belting a solo homer in Friday's loss, Amaya will sit down for the third game of Chicago's series with the Pirates. Yan Gomes will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 am
