  • Shutting down for weekend
    Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that Jung (wrist) will be shut down for the weekend before he resumes taking live batting practice Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bochy noted that Jung has experienced residual soreness in his surgically repaired right wrist since he rejoined the club Friday, but the Rangers don't seem to view it as a setback and simply opted to have him rest up over the weekend. Jung could be activated from the 60-day injured list later this week if his wrist responds well to Tuesday's live BP session. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:24 am

  • Idle Saturday
    Drury (illness) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Drury had been scratched from the starting lineup on back-to-back nights, but he won't be listed as a starter for Saturday's series finale due to illness. He'll have a team day off Sunday to recover before Monday's matchup with Oakland. Luis Guillorme will play second base and bat ninth Saturday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:36 pm

  • Brandon Drury remains out of lineup on Saturday
    Brandon Drury (illness) remained out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s battle against the Dodgers.

    Advice: It’s the third straight game that Drury has missed due to illness. With the Angels off on Sunday, he’ll have plenty of time to rest up in time for Monday’s series opener against the Athletics. Luis Guillorme will start in his place at second base and bat ninth against Tyler Glasnow and the Dodgers on Saturday night. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:31 pm

  • Tyler Soderstrom hits solo homer in blowout loss
    Tyler Soderstrom hit a solo homer in a blowout loss to the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Even in a blowout loss, Soderstrom was able to impress as he has for the overwhelming majority of June. What was a slash of .182/.308/.318 coming into the month now sits at .250/.353/.480, and the blast was his sixth homer of the season. Soderstrom was a first-round pick for a reason, and he deserves some attention from those who need help at the corner-infield spot. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:43 pm
     
  • Josh Jung (wrist) to take batting practice Tuesday
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters Josh Jung (wrist) will take batting practice on Tuesday to determine whether he’s ready to return.

    Advice: Jung has been dealing with some minor soreness in his surgically-repaired wrist, which isn’t uncommon at this stage of his rehabilitation process. He’ll take batting practice early next week to determine whether he’s ready to return or needs some additional time in the minor leagues. Rotoworld Saturday, 11:37 am

  • Resting versus LHP
    Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Southpaw Tommy Henry will start on the mound for Arizona, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will take a seat on the Phillies' bench to begin Saturday's contest. Cristian Pache will fill the open spot in center field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:03 am
     
  • Increases activities Friday
    Rendon (hamstring) took grounders, hit and ran Friday, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Rendon continues to ramp up as he attempts to return to action after being diagnosed with a high-grade partial tear of his left hamstring in late April. The veteran third baseman's next step in his rehab is expected to include cutting while running as part of his agility drills. If Rendon continues to make progress, he could be activated from the injured list in early-to-mid July. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:26 am

  • Lands on IL
    The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained left thumb, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Moreno's X-rays came back negative after he exited Friday's game due to his injured thumb, but the damage seems to still be severe enough to warrant keeping him out for the next 10 days. While he recovers, Tucker Barnhart will take over as Arizona's primary catcher and Jose Herrera will come up from Triple-A Reno to provide additional depth at catcher. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:23 am
