  • Breather Saturday
    Loperfido is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Brewers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Loperfido will get a breather after he went 2-for-8 with a two-run home run over the last three contests. Mauricio Dubon will replace him in left field and bat ninth against Milwaukee. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
  • Evan Carter sitting against lefty on Saturday
    Evan Carter is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Angels.

    Advice: Carter’s exclusion from Saturday’s lineup card appears to be purely matchup driven with southpaw Patrick Sandoval on the mound for Los Angeles, but he’s out of the lineup for a seventh straight contest since last weekend recovering from a lower-back issue. The 21-year-old former top prospect should be available to pinch-hit, if needed, on Saturday night. He should return to the lineup on Sunday afternoon to face righty José Soriano.

  • Claimed by Giants
    The Giants claimed McKenna off waivers from Baltimore on Saturday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Advice: McKenna was pushed off the Orioles' 40-man roster Monday to make room for Austin Hays' return from the injured list, but McKenna will have another opportunity to contribute in the big leagues as he moves to San Francisco. The 27-year-old outfielder owns a a .224/.302/.332 career slash line across four seasons in the majors, and he will provide depth to a Giants outfield that will be without Jung Hoo Lee (shoulder) for the rest of the season.
