  • Michael Lorenzen allows five runs in loss to Reds
    Michael Lorenzen allowed five runs with three strikeouts over six innings in a loss against the Reds on Saturday.

    Advice: Lorenzen opened with a clean first inning, but ran into some trouble in the second. He hit the leadoff man, then issued a walk before two hits and a sacrifice fly brought in two runs for the Reds. Cincinnati added a run with a pair of hits in the fourth. A two-run homer by Jonathan India in the seventh would knock Lorenzen from the game at 100 pitches. Rotoworld 3 minutes ago

  • Resting Saturday
    Buxton isn't in the Twins' lineup Saturday against the Angels.

  • Not starting Saturday
    Miranda isn't in the Twins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

  • Notches eighth save
    Phillips gave up an unearned run on one hit and struck out two Saturday to record his eighth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The closer's own throwing error with two outs put Davis Schneider aboard and led to Toronto's final run, but Phillips otherwise had little trouble sealing the victory. The right-hander is a perfect 8-for-8 in converting save chances to begin the season, and he's delivered a dazzling 0.77 ERA and 15:4 K:BB through 11.2 innings. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Gets breather Saturday
    Taylor isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Taylor will sit down Saturday after going 2-for-4 during the Pirates' loss in Friday's series opener. While he rests, Bryan Reynolds, Jack Suwinski and Connor Joe will start across Pittsburgh's outfield. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Red Sox transferred Casas (ribs) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Casas was diagnosed with a cartilage tear in his left ribcage Friday, and it will officially cost him at least two months as he moves to the 60-day IL. The 24-year-old first baseman was optimistic Friday about returning to the lineup before the end of the season, but there is no telling when that might be, given the wide range of recovery timelines that come with his sort of injury. His roster spot will be given to Garrett Cooper, who was acquired from the Cubs on Saturday in exchange for cash and figures to take over as Boston's primary first baseman while Casas is out.
