    • Anthony Santander homers twice in victory Saturday
      Anthony Santander went 2-for-2 with two homers, four RBI, and a walk to lead the Orioles to a 6-2 win over the Phillies on Saturday.

      Advice: Santander drew a walk in the second inning, then led off the fourth with a solo homer off Taijuan Walker to tie the game. He later gave the Orioles some insurance runs in the eighth, taking José Ruiz deep for a two-run blast for his second homer of the day. After hitting nine home runs over the first two months, he’s already up to eight while hitting .298 in a red-hot June. The 29-year-old slugger is slashing .231/.307/.498 with 17 homers and 42 RBI across 277 plate appearances on the season. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
       
    • Resumes playing field
      Drury (hamstring) played second base in a rehab game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

      Advice: This was Drury's fourth rehab game, but he had served as the designated hitter in each of the previous three contests. The veteran infielder is working his way back from a left hamstring injury that has kept him from competing for the Angels since May 8. Drury has gone 5-for-13 with three walks and an RBI in his rehab stint thus far and appears very close to rejoining the big-league club. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago

    • Sitting against LHP
      Tellez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

      Advice: Tellez will dodge a matchup with southpaw Ty Blach on Saturday, yielding to Connor Joe at first base. After a slow start to 2024, Tellez has come to life in June, hitting .385 with three extra-base hits and seven RBI in nine games played. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
       
    • Joey Meneses homers, drives in three in victory
      Joey Meneses went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI to power the Nationals to a 4-0 win over the Marlins on Saturday.

      Advice: Meneses put the Nationals on the board in the first inning with a sacrifice fly. He later gave the team a pair of insurance runs in the eighth with a two-run blast off Andrew Nardi for his third homer of the season. The 32-year-old first baseman is slashing .244/.305/.332 with 36 RBI across 243 plate appearances. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago

    • Idle Saturday
      Sheets is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

      Advice: Sheets will get a day to recoup after going hitless in his last 15 at-bats. Korey Lee will shift to DH while Martin Maldonado fills in behind the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 3:11 pm
       
    • Also dealing with oblique strain
      In addition to a left rib contusion, Bryant has an internal oblique strain and is without a timetable for return, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports Saturday.

      Advice: Initially, Bryant missed three straight games due to back soreness, but when he was placed on the 10-day IL on June 6th, the medical staff deemed the injury a left rib contusion. Nine days later, it's now known that Bryant is also battling an oblique strain and a timeline for return hasn't been established. Charlie Blackmon has been the Rockies' preferred DH since Bryant went down while Jake Cave (head) and Michael Toglia have seen more playing time in the outfield. Rotowire.com Today, 3:01 pm

    • Kris Bryant also dealing with oblique strain
      Rockies’ manager Bud Black told reporters on Saturday that in addition to the rib injury that landed him on the injured list, Kris Bryant is also dealing with an oblique strain.

      Advice: The 32-year-old slugger already didn’t have a timeline for his potential return, but now it’ll be substantially longer before he’s cleared to return. Bryant has hit a pitiful .106/.143/.362 with four homers, eight RBI and a 20/1 K/BB ratio across 49 plate appearances with the Rockies this season. Rotoworld Today, 2:54 pm

    • Triston Casas (rib) takes dry swings on Saturday
      Triston Casas (rib) was able to take dry swings for the first time on Saturday without any issue.

      Advice: It’s unclear how many times he’ll have to repeat the process before he’s able to face live pitching, but it’s encouraging to hear that he’s swinging the bat once again. The 24-year-old slugger is hopeful that he’ll be able to return in early July. Rotoworld Today, 1:59 pm

    • On bench versus lefty
      Smith is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: Smith will take a seat as the Red Sox face left-hander Carlos Rodon on the mound. Bobby Dalbec will draw the start at first base and bat eighth against New York. Rotowire.com Today, 12:29 pm
