  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Hamilton is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Advice: Hamilton will get a breather as Boston squares off with southpaw Carlos Rodon on the mound. The 26-year-old saw his five-game hit streak come to an end Friday, but he's still batting .308 with two home runs, five RBI, six runs scored and five stolen bases over his last nine games. Ceddanne Rafaela will draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth against New York. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Cut by Angels
    Adrianza (back) was released by the Angels on Saturday.

    Advice: Adrianza has been out since early May with back spasms and he'll now have to prove his health prior to being signed by a new team down the road. In a corresponding move, the Angels selected the contract of Jose Marte from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Trea Turner (hamstring) might return on Sunday
    Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters Trea Turner (hamstring) could potentially return on Sunday.

    Advice: Turner continued running at full-speed on Saturday and could potentially be activated for Sunday’s series finale against the Orioles. It’s possible they’ll elect to wait until Monday’s series opener against the Padres, but it certainly appears that the 30-year-old superstar shortstop isn’t far off from returning for Philadelphia.

  • Absent from lineup
    Lopez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Lopez has been operating as the Marlins' primary second baseman, but his production has slowed in June with just a .477 OPS. He'll get a day off to regroup while Vidal Brujan handles the keystone. Rotowire.com Today, 10:58 am
     
  • Breather Saturday
    Mateo is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Mateo will take a seat after he went 2-for-13 with a three-run home run, two runs scored and a stolen base while starting four consecutive games after being activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday. Jordan Westburg will slide over to second base while Ramon Urias enters the lineup at third base and bats ninth against Philadelphia. Rotowire.com Today, 10:37 am
