  • Up from Triple-A
    The Mets recalled Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Vientos has slashed .302/.388/.525 across 98 plate appearances in Triple-A, and he'll now join the big-league club as Starling Marte (personal) steps away from the team. Vientos will likely head back to Syracuse following Marte's return. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

  • Gets breather Saturday
    Candelario isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Candelario will get a chance to clear his head Saturday after going 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts across his last five games. Santiago Espinal will step in to cover third base instead while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
     
  • 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

  • Mets bring up Mark Vientos on Saturday from AAA
    Mets recalled INF Mark Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: It’s a bit surprising to see Vientos back with the Mets with veteran slugger J.D. Martinez finally healthy and occupying the designated hitter slot until further notice. The 24-year-old slugger batted .302 (26-for-86) with five homers and 22 RBI across 23 games for Triple-A Syracuse after failing to make New York’s season-opening roster. He’ll presumably split time between third base, first base and DH moving forward, but the lack of consistent playing time limits his appeal for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld Today, 9:40 am

  • Not starting Saturday
    Kiner-Falefa is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa will retreat to the bench after going 1-for-4 in the series opener Friday. Righty-hitting Ernie Clement will start at third base Saturday and bat eighth against Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow. Rotowire.com Today, 8:30 am

  • Muncy, Outman, Lux on the bench against lefty
    Max Muncy, James Outman and Gavin Lux are not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The trio of lefties will take a seat with lefty Yusei Kikuchi toeing the rubber at the Rogers Centre. It’ll be lefty-masher Enrique Hernández at third base, rookie Andy Pages patrolling center field and versatile superstar Mookie Betts at the keystone. Rotoworld Today, 8:25 am
     
  • Not starting Saturday
    Muncy isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Saturday versus Toronto.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Muncy will step out of the lineup Saturday with lefty starter Yusei Kikuchi on the mound for the Blue Jays. Enrique Hernandez will fill in at third base and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am
     
  • Hitting well
    Mendick went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Friday against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Mendick joined the White Sox on Monday and has started every game since. He's hit at different spots in the order, but was slotted into the seventh spot Friday and is likely to remain in the bottom third with the addition of Tommy Pham. Mendick has gone 6-for-21 with two doubles, a stolen base and four runs scored, though he is striking out at a 31.8 percent clip. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 am
