  • Records 10th steal Friday
    Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

    Advice: One night after striking out four times in his return from a brief paternity leave, Moore made contact on all four plate appearances and followed his one hit with his 10th steal of the season. The veteran's swipe locked in his fifth double-digit tally in that category across six big-league seasons, but the knock was only his fifth across 38 plate appearances in June.

  • Back in lineup Saturday
    Kiermaier (knee) will start in center field and bat ninth Saturday versus Cleveland, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Kiermaier will be back in center field after being held out of the starting lineup for two consecutive games with a bruised knee. The 34-year-old has struggled to .125 average with a solo home run over 16 at-bats in June. Rotowire.com Today, 8:33 am
     
  • Makes good use of start
    Robles started in left field during the Mariners' win over the Rangers on Friday and went 2-for-2 before being pinch hit for by Luke Raley in the bottom of the sixth inning.

    Advice: Robles was in the starting lineup on consecutive nights for the second time since joining the Mariners on June 4. He was able to contribute the first multi-hit effort of his brief Seattle tenure, albeit with one of those knocks a controversial bunt single where Robles may have run inside the base line. The veteran has shown some encouraging signs of life at the plate since donning his new uniform, going 4-for-11 with a pair of doubles, a hit-by-pitch, an RBI and a run across seven games overall.

  • Collects two hits in return
    Profar went 2-for-4 in Friday's loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Profar missed Wednesday's contest due to left knee soreness. The issue has been ongoing for Profar, but Wednesday's absence was his first of the campaign, so it's likely that he'll continue playing through it unless the injury worsens. Profar has been among the best hitters in the league this season -- his two singles Friday pushed his batting average up to .326, second among qualified hitters in the majors behind teammate Luis Arraez.

  • Sitting Saturday
    Schneider is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Guardians, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Schneider will take a seat after he went 3-for-8 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored over the team's last two contests. Daulton Varsho will slot in at left field while Kevin Kiermaier (knee) returns to the lineup in center field and bats ninth against Cleveland. Rotowire.com Today, 8:31 am
     
  • Breather Saturday
    Brown will sit Saturday versus Minnesota.

    Advice: Brown will get a day off after he went 2-for-13 with a double, an RBI and a run scored while starting the last four contests. Daz Cameron will draw the start in right field and bat seventh against the Twins. Rotowire.com Today, 8:24 am

  • Laces triple in loss
    Rooker went 1-for-5 with an RBI triple in an extra-inning loss to the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: Rooker's seventh-inning three-bagger plated JJ Bleday to snap a 4-4 tie, giving the Athletics a temporary reprieve after they'd blown an early 4-0 lead. The triple was Rooker's second of the season -- a new career high -- and marked his first extra-base hit since June 4. The veteran outfielder has now hit safely in five of his last seven games, but he's also carrying a .172 average and 43.3 percent strikeout rate across the 30 plate appearances he's logged in that span.

  • Out again versus lefty
    Siani is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cubs.

    Advice: It's the second straight day he'll begin the game on the bench against a lefty, although Siani did enter Friday's contest as a defensive replacement. Dylan Carlson will patrol center field again for the Cardinals on Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 am
