    • Swanson has three hits in loss Saturday
      Dansby Swanson went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and an RBI against the Reds on Saturday.

      Advice: Swanson brought his average up to .220 with the three-hit effort. He’s following up a down season last year, when he hit .244, with even worse production this year. His 27 percent strikeout percentage would be the highest of his career and his .147 ISO would be the lowest. Maybe Saturday is the start of a turnaround for Swanson, but there haven’t been a lot of positives for him this season. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting Saturday
      O'Neill (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: O'Neill left Friday's 7-2 loss to the White Sox in the third inning due to right knee discomfort. The 28-year-old recently came off the injured list due to inflammation in the same knee. O'Neill is slashing .250/.354/.500 with 11 home runs and 18 RBI over 181 plate appearances this season. Jarren Duran and Bobby Dalbec will start in the outfield corners Saturday with Ceddanne Rafaela in center and David Hamilton at shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 10:52 am

    • Luis Robert Jr. gets day off Saturday vs. Red Sox
      Luis Robert Jr. is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: It appears to be a routine maintenance day for Robert, who has started four consecutive games for the White Sox since returning earlier this week from a lengthy stay on the injured list. There’s no reason for Chicago to push it from a health standpoint following an extended layoff, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Robert get some extra days off over the next few weeks to keep him fresh.

    • Tyler O’Neill out Saturday with knee discomfort
      Tyler O’Neill (knee) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the White Sox.

      Advice: No surprise here after O’Neill was removed from Friday’s contest due to renewed right knee discomfort. The 28-year-old slugger has been plagued by persistent knee issues this season, but has expressed optimism that he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list this time. It seems unlikely he’ll return this weekend, but it’s a positive sign that the Red Sox haven’t sent him back to the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment.

    • Mashes another homer
      Santander went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rays.

      Advice: Santander's slow start to the season stood out compared to most of the rest of the Orioles, but he's warmed up significantly. Over his last 15 games, the outfielder is hitting .291 (16-for-55) with six homers and 11 RBI. He's homered in four of his last seven contests and now has a .227/.306/.472 slash line with 13 long balls, 36 RBI, 33 runs scored and no stolen bases over 58 games this season.

    • Not starting Saturday
      Robert is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

      Advice: Oscar Colas will shift to center field Saturday, while Zach DeLoach will start in right field against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. In four games since returning from the injured list, Robert has gone 3-for-16 with a pair of homers and eight strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 9:12 am
       
    • Escapes with 13th save
      Diaz gave up a run on a hit and a walk in the ninth inning Friday, recording his 13th save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Cubs. He struck out one.

      Advice: The right-hander made things difficult once again, issuing a free pass with two outs before a Miguel Amaya double brought the tying run to the plate. Diaz was able to strike out Patrick Wisdom to end the game, however. Diaz has walked a batter in four straight appearances, but he's successfully converted six straight save chances. On the season, he carries a rough 5.55 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 27:18 K:BB through 24.1 innings, but for now the Reds are willing to let him work through his control issues.

    • Pops sixth homer
      Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

      Advice: The shortstop took Nick Lodolo deep in the sixth inning, but the Cubs were already in a 3-0 hole at that point. Swanson is beginning to show faint signs of life at the plate -- while he's batting just .233 (7-for-30) over the last eight games, four of those hits have gone for extra bases, including two of his six homers on the year. His 1:10 BB:K over that stretch remains an eyesore, however, and his .628 OPS and 28.5 percent strikeout rate on the season would both be career worsts. Rotowire.com Today, 6:21 am
       
    • Dips below .200
      Suarez went 0-for-4 in Friday's 10-3 loss to San Diego and is batting .198 through 63 games.

      Advice: Suarez's season-opening slump continued into the month of June; he's 2-for-23 (.087) over seven games this month and dipped below .200 for the first time. He remains fourth on the team with 28 RBI, production that helped mask his slump over the first month and a half, but Suarez has delivered just five runs over the last 22 contests, and his .582 OPS has gotten harder to ignore.
