  • Having imaging done on right knee
    Winker will get an MRI on Saturday after sustaining a right knee injury during Saturday's game against the Marlins, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Winker awkwardly slid back into second after rounding the base on a Ildemaro Vargas hit and was removed from the game in the third inning. The outfielder will have an MRI done on his right knee later Saturday, which should provide some insight on the severity of the injury. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago

  • Jesse Winker (knee) heading for MRI exam
    Jesse Winker will undergo an MRI exam to determine the extent of his right knee injury.

    Advice: Winker sustained the injury on Saturday when he was trying to get back to second base in the opening inning. If he’s forced to miss any substantial time, it could potentially open the door for the highly anticipated arrival of James Wood from Triple-A Rochester. Rotoworld Today, 3:40 pm

  • Not yet doing on-field activity
    Trout (knee) has yet to progress to performing on-field activities, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Trout has been out of action since being diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee near the end of April. Los Angeles has thus far kept him on the 10-day IL, but he doesn't seem to be anywhere near being activated -- or even beginning a minor-league rehab stint -- given his lack of baseball activity. Trout is expected to return to action at some point this season, but the Angels are unlikely to rush him back given their position in the standings, and his timeframe for rejoining the team remains very hazy.

  • Anthony Santander homers twice in victory Saturday
    Anthony Santander went 2-for-2 with two homers, four RBI, and a walk to lead the Orioles to a 6-2 win over the Phillies on Saturday.

    Advice: Santander drew a walk in the second inning, then led off the fourth with a solo homer off Taijuan Walker to tie the game. He later gave the Orioles some insurance runs in the eighth, taking José Ruiz deep for a two-run blast for his second homer of the day. After hitting nine home runs over the first two months, he’s already up to eight while hitting .298 in a red-hot June. The 29-year-old slugger is slashing .231/.307/.498 with 17 homers and 42 RBI across 277 plate appearances on the season. Rotoworld Today, 3:38 pm
     
  • Getting breather
    Isbel is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Even with righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound for Los Angeles, Isbel will yield to Garrett Hampson in center field. Isbel had started in each of the Royals' past four games, going 4-for-13 with three runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 3:31 pm
     
  • Idle against southpaw
    Suwinski is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: the lefty-hitting Suwinski will take a seat against lefty Ty Blach on Saturday. Michael Taylor will play center field and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm

The 28-year-old outfielder is hitting .238/.300/.388 with six homers, 22 RBI, and 16 steals across 180 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 3:20 pm
