  • Sitting Saturday
    Baez isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Baez will get a breather Saturday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Zach McKinstry to start at shortstop while batting eighth. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Expected to start Saturday

  • Returns from IL
    The Yankees reinstated Berti (groin) from the injured list Saturday.

    Advice: Berti will return to the active roster after playing in three rehab games at Double-A Somerset, going 1-for-9 with three walks and a run scored while also stealing a base. His return gives New York additional depth at numerous positions and will cause Taylor Trammell to be designated for assignment in order to create a roster spot. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago

  • Hitless in debut
    Grissom started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Grissom made his season debut after spending the first month of the season on the injured list with a hamstring injury.

  • Fighting slump
    Seager went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 7-1 loss to Kansas City.

    Advice: Seager delivered the Rangers' lone run with a single in the third inning. He's been mired in a slump and entered Friday's game batting .073 (3-for-41) with two RBI over the previous 11 games. Rangers general manager took the long view when speaking with Kenndi Landry of MLB.com, indicating the club expected Seager to need some time to get going after undergoing hernia surgery in January. Young also feels there has been some bad luck, which speaks to the shortstop's .269 BABIP. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
     
  • Javier Báez out of lineup Saturday vs. Yankees
    Javier Báez is not in the starting lineup to begin Saturday’s game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Báez will take a day off after going 0-for-3 Friday and is hitting just .183 with a .486 OPS. Zach McKinstry will get the start at shortstop instead and hit eighth for the Tigers. Rotoworld Today, 6:55 am
     
  • Snags fifth steal
    Winn went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-0 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Winn reached on an error in the fourth inning, stole second and went to third on a wild pitch, but he was left there. The rookie shortstop has cooled off with no multi-hit efforts over his last 14 games, going 7-for-40 (.175) with three steals and a 9:12 BB:K in that span. On the year, he's slashing .279/.354/.372 with no home runs, seven RBI, 10 runs scored and five steals, offering solid speed but little else while batting in the bottom third of the Cardinals' order.

  • Vidal steals two bags, doubles twice in loss
    Vidal Bruján doubled twice and stole two bases in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.

    Advice: Bruján drove in the only run of the game for the Marlins in the ninth with a double off Lucas Erceg. The pair of two-baggers with a single now have Bruján slashing .298/.377/.447, and the swipes are his first of the season. Especially with Luis Arraez heading to San Diego, Bruján should continue to see a lot of playing time, and so far he’s taken advantage of his run. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:07 pm
