  • Inconsistent playing time
    Rosario went 1-for-1 as a pinch hitter in Saturday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Rosario entered the game in the ninth inning after hitting the bench for the second time in the last four games. Since Jonathan Aranda and Brandon Lowe have returned from the injured list, Rosario has been in the lineup only seven times across 15 contests. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) likely heading to IL
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora acknowledged after Saturday’s victory over the Tigers that Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) is likely heading to the injured list.

    Advice: Just how long he’ll remain there is still up in the air though. The 23-year-old infielder suffered a right hamstring strain during the second inning of Saturday’s contest — the severity of which is not yet known. Expect Enmanuel Valdez to see increased action in the Red Sox’ infield while Grissom is shelved. Rotoworld Today, 5:51 pm

  • Thairo Estrada held out of lineup with thumb issue
    Thairo Estrada was held out of the Giants’ starting lineup on Saturday night due to a sore left thumb.

    Advice: The 28-year-old infielder suffered the injury when he jammed his thumb on second base while sliding during Friday’s game. He’s considered day-to-day. Brett Wisely will start in his place at second base and bat ninth for the Giants on Saturday evening. Rotoworld Today, 5:38 pm

  • Ha-Seong Kim doubles and triples; drives in three
    Ha-Seong Kim doubled and tripled while driving in three runs in a victory over the Royals on Saturday.

    Advice: All three runs came on a double, and it gave the Padres a 6-3 lead. The triple showed off Kim’s impressive speed, and it was already the third three-bagger of the year. Those wheels have helped keep Kim relevant in fantasy circles with 13 stolen bases, but his overall slash of .222/.332/.384 makes it a little harder sell. Rotoworld Today, 4:53 pm

  • Two hits, three RBI in win
    Kim went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Kim led off the third inning with a triple before coming around to score on a Luis Arraez sacrifice fly. He'd then provide what proved to be the game-deciding hit in the fourth, driving in three runs with a base-clearing double to put the Padres ahead 5-3. Kim's now 4-for-10 with three extra-base hits in his last three games. After a slow start to the year, he's gotten his slash line up to .222/.332/.384 with seven homers, 31 runs scored, 27 RBI and 13 steals across 60 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 4:51 pm

  • Dealing with jammed thumb
    Estrada is considered day-to-day after jamming his thumb during Friday's game against the Yankees, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Saturday's absence from the lineup is more than just a day off for the second baseman, who picked up a minor thumb injury in the series opener against New York. Estrada was deemed day-to-day and won't have the benefit of a team-wide rest day until Thursday. If Estrada is forced to miss more time, Brett Wisely would likely fill the gap at second.

  • Jordan Westburg homers in return to lineup
    Jordan Westburg went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI against the Rays on Saturday.

    Advice: Westburg returned to the lineup after missing two games with a hand injury and looked just fine at the plate. He took Taj Bradley deep for a solo homer to lead off the second inning. He drove in a second run with a single in the third and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jorge Mateo. The 25-year-old infielder has enjoyed a breakout season, hitting .295/.354/.523 with nine homers, 36 RBI, and five steals across 213 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 4:05 pm

  • Likely to hit IL
    Grissom has a mild right hamstring strain and is expected to be placed on the injured list, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reported Saturday.

    Advice: Grissom was removed from Saturday's game against the Tigers in the third inning after slowing up and grabbing his right hamstring running to first on a groundout. While it's not the same hamstring that sidelined him at the start of the year, Saturday's injury will likely require an IL stint. While Grissom is sidelined, expect Romy Gonzales, David Hamilton and Ceddanne Rafaela to see plenty of work in the middle infield. Rotowire.com Today, 3:52 pm

  • Luis García Jr. collects two hits in loss Saturday
    Luis García Jr. went 2-for-4 with a run scored against the Guardians on Saturday.

    Advice: García Jr. knocked a base hit to lead off the second inning. He singled once again in the fourth and scored on a hit by Jesse Winker. The 24-year-old second baseman is on pace for a career year, hitting .279/.319/.424 with five homers, 26 RBI, and eight steals across 182 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 3:48 pm
