  • Remains out Saturday
    Canha (hip) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Red Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Canha was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to left hip soreness and he'll be forced to sit out again Saturday. Colt Keith will slot in at designated hitter while Zach McKinstry enters the lineup at second base and bats seventh against Boston. Rotowire.com Today, 10:33 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
