  • Out of Cubs' lineup
    Amaya is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cardinals.

    Advice: Yan Gomes will do the catching for Shota Imanaga. Amaya had started four of the previous five contests but will begin this one on the bench. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting out Saturday
    Busch is absent from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Right-hander Andre Pallante is starting for the Cardinals and has reverse splits, so Busch will begin this one on the bench. Cody Bellinger is handling first base and Pete Crow-Armstrong will patrol center field. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago

  • Back in lineup Saturday
    Kiermaier (knee) will start in center field and bat ninth Saturday versus Cleveland, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Kiermaier will be back in center field after being held out of the starting lineup for two consecutive games with a bruised knee. The 34-year-old has struggled to .125 average with a solo home run over 16 at-bats in June. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
     
  • Makes good use of start
    Robles started in left field during the Mariners' win over the Rangers on Friday and went 2-for-2 before being pinch hit for by Luke Raley in the bottom of the sixth inning.

    Advice: Robles was in the starting lineup on consecutive nights for the second time since joining the Mariners on June 4. He was able to contribute the first multi-hit effort of his brief Seattle tenure, albeit with one of those knocks a controversial bunt single where Robles may have run inside the base line. The veteran has shown some encouraging signs of life at the plate since donning his new uniform, going 4-for-11 with a pair of doubles, a hit-by-pitch, an RBI and a run across seven games overall.

  • Collects two hits in return
    Profar went 2-for-4 in Friday's loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Profar missed Wednesday's contest due to left knee soreness. The issue has been ongoing for Profar, but Wednesday's absence was his first of the campaign, so it's likely that he'll continue playing through it unless the injury worsens. Profar has been among the best hitters in the league this season -- his two singles Friday pushed his batting average up to .326, second among qualified hitters in the majors behind teammate Luis Arraez.

  • Sitting Saturday
    Schneider is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Guardians, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Schneider will take a seat after he went 3-for-8 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored over the team's last two contests. Daulton Varsho will slot in at left field while Kevin Kiermaier (knee) returns to the lineup in center field and bats ninth against Cleveland. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
     
  • Throws bullpen session
    Merryweather (ribs) threw a 26-pitch bullpen session Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Merryweather has been on the shelf since early April due to a rib stress fracture and has finally progressed to mound work. While he's moving in the right direction, the reliever would seem to still be several weeks away from a potential return. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Saddled with second loss
    Alexander (0-2) took the extra-inning loss against the Twins on Friday, allowing an unearned run on a hit and an intentional walk without recording an out.

    Advice: Alexander's lighting-quick outing resulted in the culmination of the Twins' comeback from a pair of deficits, with the southpaw intentionally putting Carlos Correa on and then conceding a walk-off RBI single on his first pitch to Max Kepler that plated automatic runner Austin Martin. Alexander has now allowed a run in three straight appearances and taken his first two losses of the season in consecutive outings, so it remains to be seen if he'll be kept out of high-leverage situations for the time being as he tries to get back on track.

  • Day off Saturday
    Bichette is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Guardians, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Bichette will get a rare breather Saturday, taking a seat after he went 3-for-18 with an RBI and a run scored over the last five games, three of which he failed to record a hit in. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will slide over to shortstop while Addison Berger enters the lineup at third base and bats seventh versus Cleveland. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
