  • Day off Saturday
    Baddoo is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Red Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Baddoo will get a day off after he went 1-for-8 with a solo home run and four strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Matt Vierling will enter the lineup in right field and bat leadoff against Boston. Rotowire.com Today, 10:38 am
     
  • Daulton Varsho back in lineup Saturday vs. Pirates
    Daulton Varsho (illness) returned to the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Varsho is back in center field and batting second on Saturday after missing Friday’s 14-inning marathon due to food poisoning. Rotoworld Today, 10:36 am
     
  • Brendan Donovan (neck) out Saturday vs. Phillies
    Brendan Donovan (neck) remains absent from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Donovan remains out after being scratched from Friday’s lineup due to neck stiffness. It’ll be rookie Masyn Winn, who has recorded at least one hit in 18 straight games that he’s started since May 6, taking over atop St. Louis’ lineup in his absence. Rotoworld Today, 9:48 am

  • Sitting versus lefty
    McCarthy isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: With left-hander Sean Manaea starting on the hill for New York, the lefty-hitting McCarthy will step out of the lineup Saturday. Randal Grichuk will fill the opening in right field and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 9:36 am
     
  • Sal Frelick reaches five times in blowout win
    Sal Frelick went 3-for-4 and scored three runs in a blowout win over the White Sox on Friday.

    Advice: Felich reached five times Friday, and he also drove in a run. The 24-year-old has swung the bat well as of late, and this makes seven hits over his last five games to see his average rise to .266 from .242 in the process. Frelick won’t hit for much power, but he has a chance to be a helper in a few categories even without hitting the ball over the fence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:06 pm

  • Battling food poisoning
    Varsho was unavailable for Friday's game against the Pirates due to food poisoning, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Varsho's absence Friday shielded him from facing left-hander Bailey Falter, but the Blue Jays have now revealed they held the 27-year-old out due to illness rather than an unfavorable matchup. Davis Schneider moved from second base to left field Friday to cover for Varsho, and he may continue to do so if Varsho's condition doesn't improve Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:53 pm
     
  • Daulton Varsho sits with food poisoning on Friday
    Daulton Varsho was held out of the Blue Jays’ starting lineup on Friday night due to food poisoning.

    Advice: That’s the reason that the 27-year-old never made an appearance despite a 14-inning marathon contest against the Pirates. He’s considered day-to-day though his status for Saturday remains up in the air at this point. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:27 pm
     
  • Three hits in return
    Kwan went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, an RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Kwan returned from the injured list after missing nearly the entire month of May but showed no signs of rust. He singled three times, including an RBI knock in the eighth inning. He's produced five multi-hit performances in his last eight appearances. Kwan owns a strong .365/.420/.504 slash line with 30 runs scored and a 12:12 BB:K through 150 plate appearances.

  • Steven Kwan goes 3-for-4 in return
    Steven Kwan went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, an RBI, and a walk in a win over the Nationals on Friday.

    Advice: Kwan didn’t miss a beat after spending nearly four weeks on the IL with a hamstring strain. He was slashing the ball all over the yard and in the middle of multiple Guardians’ rallies. His batting average is up to an astounding .365. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:38 pm
