  • Sitting again Saturday
    Busch isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Busch is 4-for-13 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in his last six games, but he is likely to see a dip in playing time as Pete Crow-Armstrong's arrival will force Cody Bellinger to start at first base more often. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago

  • Mark Canha (hip) expected to return on Sunday
    Mark Canha (hip) is expected to return to the Tigers’ lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Canha sat out his second straight game on Saturday with the hip issue, but the training staff believe it’s something that he can manage and play through rather than something that’s going to require a trip to the injured list. He told reporters on Saturday, “Just happens when you get to be 35... I’ve never had this injury before, so it’s new. The same thing happens with me every year. You never know what’s going to pop up as you get older.” He’s considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 1:18 pm

  • Expects to play Sunday
    Canha (hip) expects to play a full game Sunday versus the Red Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Canha is dealing with a psoas strain in his left hip and his ability to return to the lineup Sunday will be a big test for his status moving forward. If he suffers a setback, the 35-year-old will likely head to the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 12:25 pm

  • Nolan Schanuel out Saturday with thumb soreness
    Nolan Schanuel (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Schanuel remains on the bench for Saturday’s contest after being scratched from Friday’s lineup due to left thumb soreness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern at the moment. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 12:19 pm
     
  • Out again Saturday
    Schanuel (thumb) is absent from the Angels' lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Schanuel was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Friday's 5-4 loss and he'll once again take a seat Saturday. Willie Calhoun will slot in a first base for a second straight game, batting fourth against Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 12:13 pm
     
  • Remains sidelined Saturday
    Donovan (neck) isn't in the Cardinals' lineup Saturday against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Neck stiffness caused Donovan to be scratched from St. Louis' lineup before Friday's contest, and the issue seems to still be bothering him Saturday. Alec Burleson, Mike Siani and Dylan Carlson will start across the outfield while Donovan sits, allowing Jose Fermin to serve as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 11:58 am
