  • 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 39 minutes ago

  • Jeffrey Springs (elbow) throws bullpen on Saturday
    Jeffrey Springs (elbow) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Saturday.

    Advice: It’s an extremely encouraging development that Springs is already back throwing off a mound following a precautionary exit from his second rehab appearance last week in a Rookie-level Florida Complex League game due to shoulder tightness. The 31-year-old lefty continues to work his way back from last year’s Tommy John surgery and is expected to restart a rehab assignment at some point in early June. There’s a chance he’s back in the Rays’ starting rotation by July or August. Rotoworld Today, 12:55 pm
  • Scratched from lineup
    Abrams was scratched from the Nationals' lineup prior to Saturday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Abrams said that he jammed his shoulder while making a diving play during Friday's loss, per Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com, and it seems to be bothering him enough Saturday to warrant a day off. While Abrams recovers, Ildemaro Vargas will take over at shortstop and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:30 pm

  • CJ Abrams scratched Saturday with shoulder issue
    CJ Abrams has been scratched from the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Guardians due to shoulder soreness.

    Advice: It’s worth noting that Abrams remained in during Friday’s contest after jamming his shoulder attempting to make a play defensively. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but the Nationals clearly don’t want to take any chances here and are holding him out for precautionary reasons. The 23-year-old emerging star has been in a rut the last few days, going hitless (0-for-14) with eight strikeouts over his last three games. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld Today, 12:28 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

  • Back in Milwaukee
    The Brewers recalled Junk from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    Advice: Junk will come up from the minors to fill the open spot in Milwaukee's pitching staff following the demotion of Tobias Myers to Triple-A on Saturday. Junk made three appearances for the Brewers during his first big-league stint this season, giving up five earned runs over five innings. He's turned in a 2.45 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with Nashville since being sent back down, but he will likely be limited to low-leverage work in the majors. The 28-year-old righty also has experience as a starter, opening the door for a potential spot start if Joe Ross (back) isn't able to return from the injured list when eligible June 5.

  • 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
  • Brewers recall Janson Junk on Saturday
    Brewers recalled RHP Janson Junk from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Junk provides Milwaukee’s bullpen with some extra long relief depth for the remainder of their weekend series against the White Sox. The 28-year-old righty has made three relief appearances this season for the Brewers. Rotoworld Today, 12:17 pm
  • Brewers option Tobias Myers to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned RHP Tobias Myers to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Myers retreats to the minors after allowing five runs over 5 1/3 frames on Friday in a no-decision against the struggling White Sox. The 25-year-old righty has intriguing stuff, but it hasn’t translated to the majors yet as he holds a lackluster 5.40 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 27/10 K/BB ratio across 26 2/3 innings (seven appearances, six starts). He remains a work in progress and figures to be up-and-down for Milwaukee over the next few months. Rotoworld Today, 12:16 pm
