  • Sitting again Saturday
    Hoerner (hand) isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Hoerner sat out Friday's game after getting hit in the hand by a pitch Thursday, and the issue seems to still be bothering him ahead of Saturday's contest. David Bote will start at second base and bat seventh while Hoerner recovers. Rotowire.com Today, 10:56 am

  • Nico Hoerner remains out Saturday with hand issue
    Nico Hoerner (hand) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: Additional X-rays on Hoerner’s hand were reportedly inconclusive on Friday after he had trouble gripping and swinging a bat. The 27-year-old was hit by a pitch during Thursday’s series opener and will sit out his second straight contest on Saturday afternoon. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment, but it wouldn’t be a total shock to see him land on the injured list at some point this weekend. Rotoworld Today, 10:39 am

  • Corey Seager out Saturday due to hamstring injury
    Corey Seager (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Giants.

    Advice: The encouraging news here for fantasy managers is that Seager hasn’t landed on the injured list yet after suffering a mild left hamstring injury earlier this week. The 30-year-old fantasy stalwart will miss his second straight contest on Saturday afternoon and remains day-to-day for now. There should be some clarity on his status at some point later this weekend if he’s unable to get back in the lineup. Rotoworld Today, 9:41 am

  • Sitting Saturday
    Lopez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Despite Boston sending right-hander Brayan Bello to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Lopez will begin the game in the dugout while Danny Mendick starts at second base. Lopez started in the first two games of the series, going 1-for-8 with two strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 9:06 am

  • IL stint not expected
    Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Seager (hamstring) is not expected to require a stint on the injured list, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Seager injured his hamstring Wednesday and sat out Friday's game after Thursday's off-day. Bochy doesn't anticipate an IL stint, but Seager might need a couple of days to get back to the field. Rotowire.com Today, 6:25 am

  • Pops sixth homer
    Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: The shortstop took Nick Lodolo deep in the sixth inning, but the Cubs were already in a 3-0 hole at that point. Swanson is beginning to show faint signs of life at the plate -- while he's batting just .233 (7-for-30) over the last eight games, four of those hits have gone for extra bases, including two of his six homers on the year. His 1:10 BB:K over that stretch remains an eyesore, however, and his .628 OPS and 28.5 percent strikeout rate on the season would both be career worsts. Rotowire.com Today, 6:21 am
     
  • Cranks first career homer
    Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Rocchio's first career homer came in the third inning of his 77th game. That blast was all the offense the Guardians could put on the board in Friday's loss. The shortstop has held down a starting role this year, but he's posted a mediocre .213/.314/.287 slash line with 11 RBI, 27 runs scored, seven stolen bases and nine doubles over 192 plate appearances.
