  • Sitting Saturday
    Taveras is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Taveras will get a day off after he went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts in the team's 3-2 win Friday. Travis Jankowski will take over in center field and bat sixth against Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 1:38 pm
     
  • Remains out Saturday
    Smith is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Smith will miss a second straight game as he nurses "general tightness". Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at third base while Robbie Grossman enters the lineup at designated hitter and bats seventh against Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 1:35 pm

  • Max Kepler dealing with elbow soreness
    Max Kepler is day-to-day with elbow soreness.

    Advice: Kepler managed to stay in Friday’s extra-inning marathon against the Athletics, eventually delivering the game-winning hit, after being hit by a pitch in the elbow earlier in the contest. He’ll benefit from Saturday’s rainout by getting some extra time to rest and recover. It’s possible he’ll be ready for the opening contest of Sunday’s doubleheader at Target Field.

  • Inks minors deal with Nationals
    The Nationals signed Ramirez to a minor-league contract, MMark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Ramirez was released by the Rays earlier this week after hitting just .268/.284/.305 in 48 games. The 29-year-old is a career .287/.325/.408 hitter and has slashed .322/.357/.445 against left-handed pitching. Ramirez will report to Triple-A Rochester for now but is a good bet to be added to the Nationals' roster sooner rather than later, especially with Joey Gallo (hamstring) expected to miss significant time.

  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. gets rare day off on Saturday
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the division-rival Nationals.

    Advice: It’s a rare day off for Chisholm, who has made an appeares in 68 of 69 contests this season for Miami. The talented 26-year-old outfielder is batting .254/.319/.435 with 10 homers and 13 steals in 285 plate appearances. It’ll be Dane Myers patrolling center field on Saturday afternoon in his absence.

  • Nationals ink Harold Ramírez to minor league pact
    Nationals signed OF Harold Ramírez to a minor league contract.

    Advice: It certainly didn’t take long for Ramírez to find a new opportunity after being released earlier this week by the Rays. However, it’s a bit surprising that he was forced to settle for a minor league deal. The 29-year-old corner outfielder boasts a solid .287/.325/.408 triple-slash line with 37 homers and 18 steals in 511 games in the majors since 2019. He’s batted .300 with 19 homers and 13 steals over the last three season for Tampa Bay and represents a solid depth addition for the rebuilding Nationals. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him in Washington very soon. Rotoworld Today, 10:58 am
