    • D-backs optimistic Zac Gallen makes next start
      Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo expressed optimism late Friday that Zac Gallen (hamstring) will make his next start.

      Advice: Gallen was removed from Friday’s start against the Mariners in the sixth inning for precautionary reasons after experiencing right hamstring tightness. The 28-year-old righty has dealt with similar hamstring issues in the past, which is why Arizona didn’t want to take any chances. There should be some clarity on his status at some point in a few days when he throws his usual between-starts bullpen session, but for the moment, fantasy managers should plan on him taking the ball on Wednesday against the Dodgers at Chase Field.

    • George Springer gets rare day off Saturday
      George Springer is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Dodgers.

      Advice: It’s a rare day off for Springer, who has started seven consecutive contests since April 20. The 34-year-old veteran outfielder has been in Toronto’s lineup for all but two of their contests this season. It’ll be Bo Bichette in the leadoff spot and rookie Addison Barger drawing a start in right field as the Blue Jays face Dodgers ace Tyler Glasnow at the Rogers Centre.

    • Sitting Saturday
      Springer is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Springer has gone 7-for-28 with two doubles and a solo home run since his last day off April 19. Addison Barger will make his third major-league start in right field Saturday and bat ninth against Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow. Rotowire.com Today, 8:26 am
       
    • Muncy, Outman, Lux on the bench against lefty
      Max Muncy, James Outman and Gavin Lux are not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: The trio of lefties will take a seat with lefty Yusei Kikuchi toeing the rubber at the Rogers Centre. It’ll be lefty-masher Enrique Hernández at third base, rookie Andy Pages patrolling center field and versatile superstar Mookie Betts at the keystone. Rotoworld Today, 8:25 am
       
    • MRI comes back clean on Pete Fairbanks’ arm
      An MRI on Pete Fairbanks’ right arm came back clean for any structural damage.

      Advice: Fairbanks landed on the injured list earlier this week with an undisclosed nerve-related condition, so it’s at least an encouraging development that additional imaging didn’t turn up any structural damage. The 30-year-old righty has indicated that his latest issue is unrelated to previous flareups of Raynaud’s syndrome that he’s dealt with. Given the uncertainty surrounding his diagnosis, there isn’t a clear timetable for his return. Rotoworld Today, 8:14 am
       
    • Not starting Saturday
      Muncy isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Saturday versus Toronto.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Muncy will step out of the lineup Saturday with lefty starter Yusei Kikuchi on the mound for the Blue Jays. Enrique Hernandez will fill in at third base and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am
       
    • Another strong outing
      Sale (3-1) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over seven innings in a 6-2 victory over the Guardians. He struck out six.

      Advice: The veteran lefty has been healthy and dominant to kick off 2024, and he completely shut down the Cleveland offense after serving up a leadoff homer to Steven Kwan. Sale has worked seven-plus innings in three straight starts for the first time since June 2018, and he's allowed three runs or less in four of his five outings so far for Atlanta. Sale will take a 3.69 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 33:7 K:BB through 31.2 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 7:39 am
       
    • Tests come back clean
      Fairbanks (arm) has no structural damage to his arm, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Fairbanks had an MRI done Tuesday and then had unspecified additional testing done later in the week. All exams came back clean, which is good news and provides some optimism that he'll avoid a lengthy absence. However, both Fairbanks and the team have cautioned that he does not have a timeline to be activated from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 7:29 am
       
    • Snaps slump, logs steal
      Steer went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

      Advice: Steer snapped an 0-for-18 skid in the third inning then stole his sixth base in 26 games and is on pace to surpass the 15 steals he had in 2023. That's the good fantasy news. On the other side, that hitless run came at the tail end of a 5-for-40 (.125) stretch with no extra-base hits and one RBI over 11 games. Rotowire.com Today, 6:58 am
