  • Starts rehab assignment
    Delay (knee) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton on Saturday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Delay is recovering from knee surgery that occurred in mid-April and started behind the dish in his first game appearance Saturday. His rehab assignment is expected to be transferred to Triple-A Indianapolis shortly. Delay is eligible to return from the injured list in early June, though he'll likely require a lengthier ramp-up period. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:30 am

  • Serving as DH on Sunday
    Kelly will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Detroit will make room in the lineup for both Kelly and Jake Rogers in the series finale, but the former looks to have taken on the lion's share of the playing time at catcher of late. Over the Tigers' preceding eight games, Kelly has made five starts behind the plate to Rogers' three. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:18 am
     
  • Still out Saturday
    Trevino (illness) isn't in the Yankees' lineup Saturday against the Padres.

    Advice: Trevino had to leave Thursday's game due to an illness, and it will now cause him to miss his second consecutive start Saturday. Austin Wells will once again start at catcher and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:53 pm
     
  • Taking seat Saturday
    Langeliers is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Astros.

    Advice: Langeliers started in the series opener Friday, going 1-for-4. With Houston sending out right-hander Spencer Arrighetti, Oakland will start lefty-hitting Kyle McCann behind the dish Saturday. Langeliers is slashing .266/.347/.578 with four home runs and 13 RBI in May. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:53 am
     
  • Sitting down Saturday
    D'Arnaud isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

    Advice: After going 2-for-4 with two RBI during Friday's loss, d'Arnaud will take a seat Saturday while Chadwick Tromp starts behind the plate, batting eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:17 am
     
  • 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 Saturday, 9:15 am

  • Launches game-winning slam
    Bailey went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a stolen base in Friday's 8-7 win over the Mets.

    Advice: The 24-year-old backstop took Reed Garrett deep in the eighth inning to put the Giants ahead 7-6 and help them make history, as they became only the fourth team since 1900 to win three straight games in which it had been trailing in by four or more runs. Bailey has gone 5-for-11 in four games since returning from a concussion, and on the season he's slashing .301/.352/.495 with four homers, two steals, 13 runs and 16 RBI in 30 contests.

  • Sean Murphy batting .355 on rehab assignment
    Sean Murphy (oblique) went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Friday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: Murphy homered in back-to-back contests to kick-off his rehab assignment prior to Friday’s game. He’s batting .357 (5-for-14) and appears close to returning to Atlanta’s lineup, possibly at some point this weekend. Rotoworld Saturday, 6:18 am
     
  • Patrick Bailey hits go-ahead grand slam
    Patrick Bailey went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and stolen base in the Giants 8-7 win over the Mets on Friday.

    Advice: Bailey silenced the crowd in Queens and turned a three-run deficit into a lead the Giants wouldn’t relinquish. Fantasy managers certainly love the unexpected stolen base too, a heady move by Bailey with Edwin Díaz on the mound who struggles to hold runners on. Something seems to have clicked for Bailey who’s carrying an .847 OPS this season and has the underlying metrics to match this breakout. Rotoworld Friday, 7:29 pm
