  • Francisco Alvarez (thumb) takes BP on Saturday
    Francisco Alvarez (thumb) took batting practice on Saturday at Citi Field.

    Advice: Alvarez progressed to on-field batting practice for the first time since last month’s thumb surgery. The 22-year-old backstop will presumably head out on a minor league rehab assignment at some point in the coming weeks, barring any unexpected setbacks. The hope is that he’ll be ready to return at some point in mid-to-late June. Rotoworld Today, 9:15 am

  • Pops third homer
    Ruiz went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Mariners.

    Advice: The 25-year-old catcher has had a rough season so far, and Friday's long ball off George Kirby snapped a 19-game homer drought for Ruiz. Through 31 contests, he's slashing a feeble .171/.207/.270 with three home runs and 10 RBI, but his bat could be waking up -- over his last six starts, he's batting .316 (6-for-19) with two doubles in addition to Friday's blast.
