  • Remains on bench
    Jankowski is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Marlins.

    Advice: Jankowski will remain on the bench for a second straight game as the Rangers take on left-hander Ryan Weathers on the mound. Wyatt Langford will slot in at left field while Robbie Grossman enters the lineup at designated hitter and bats third versus Miami. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Joe Musgrove lands on IL with triceps tendinitis
    Padres placed RHP Joe Musgrove on the 15-day injured list with right triceps tendinitis.

    Advice: Musgrove lasted just two starts before a reccurrance of the triceps issue that sent him to the injured list at the outset of May winds up putting him back on the shelf. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune adds that Musgrove’s triceps issue “is not believed at this time to be a season-ending injury.” It certainly doesn’t sound great and fantasy managers should anticipate Musgrove requiring a lengthy absence. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days once he undergoes some additional imaging to determine whether he’s dealing with any structural damage. Stay tuned.

  • Scratched Saturday
    Gurriel was scratched from Arizona's lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Mets.

  • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. scratched from Saturday’s lineup

  • Elbow issues return
    The Padres placed Musgrove on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right elbow injury, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Musgrove was originally slated to start Saturday against the Royals, but he will now return to the injured list after experiencing further issues with his right elbow/triceps. The 31-year-old was able to return from the IL after 16 days following his first encounter with elbow problems in May, but the Padres will likely bring him back slower this time around to ensure his elbow is back to 100 percent the next time he takes the mound. Randy Vasquez was recalled from Triple-A to start in Musgrove's place Saturday and will likely remain in the Padres' rotation until Musgrove is able to return. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
