  • Will play after all
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Seager will start at shortstop for Saturday's game against the Reds, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Seager left Wednesday's game against the Mariners after taking a pitch off his shin, and he played one game at DH before returning to shortstop in the series opener against the Reds on Friday. Seager was initially set to take Saturday off, but Bochy has reinserted the 30-year-old back into the starting lineup. With Seager at shortstop, Josh Smith will shift to third base while Ezequiel Duran will move to the bench. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Corey Seager a late addition to Saturday’s lineup
    Corey Seager has been added to the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Reds.

    Advice: It appears Seager was able to talk his way onto manager Bruce Bochy’s lineup card after he was originally slated to sit out Saturday’s showdown against the Reds. The 30-year-old fantasy stalwart appears to be doing just fine after suffering a left shin contusion earlier this week when he was hit by a pitch. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Corey Seager getting day off Saturday vs. Reds
    Corey Seager and Adolis García are not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: It’s a routine off day for both Seager and Garcìa with Josh Smith at shortstop and Travis Jankowski taking over in right field. The 30-year-old superstar shortstop could probably use a day off after suffering a left shin contusion earlier this week when he was hit by a pitch. The dynamic duo should return for Sunday’s series finale. Rotoworld Today, 10:29 am
     
  • Taking a breather Saturday
    Seager is not in the Rangers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Seager will begin Saturday's game in the dugout as he gets a rest day for the first time since April 15. Since then, Seager has gone 6-for-37 with one run and one RBI. Josh Smith will start at shortstop and Ezequiel Duran at third base against Reds right-hander Hunter Greene. Rotowire.com Today, 10:19 am
     
  • Picks up steal
    Arias went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Arias' last four starts have been evenly split between second and third, providing opportunities for Jose Ramirez and Andres Gimenez to get rest. Arias is off to a solid start this season in a utility role, slashing .278/.304/.426 with three steals, one home run, eight RBI and seven runs scored across 56 plate appearances. He's already played at six different positions this season, so he should be able to be in the lineup semi-regularly despite lacking a single obvious path to playing time. Rotowire.com Today, 9:57 am

  • Launches second homer
    Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Guardians.

    Advice: The shortstop crushed a Pedro Avila two-seamer over the fence in left-center field, giving Atlanta its last offense of the night in the eighth inning. Arcia has both his homers on the year in the last nine games, and he's slashing .311/.340/.478 through 97 plate appearances with nine RBI and 12 runs as he proves his 2023 resurgence was no fluke.

  • Returns to shortstop
    Seager started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

    Advice: Seager, who was removed from a game Wednesday after getting hit by a pitch on the shin, has played in both games since. He served as the DH on Thursday before returning to the field Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:09 am
     
  • Swipes two bags
    De La Cruz went 0-for-2 with two walks, stole two bases and scored a run in Cincinnati's loss to Texas on Friday.

    Advice: Despite not being able to tally a base hit during Friday's game, De La Cruz was able to make his presence felt by drawing a walk in the first inning and eventually stealing home to score Cincinnati's first and only run of the game. He walked again and stole second base in the fifth inning, giving him an MLB-best 17 thefts on the season. Along with his exceptional baserunning, the 22-year-old infielder has been outstanding at the plate, slashing .299/.419/.621 with seven homers and 18 RBI through his first 105 plate appearances.
