  • Returns to lineup
    Fraley (illness) is starting in right field Saturday against the Rangers.

    Advice: Fraley has missed the Reds' last six games due to an illness, though he was available off the bench Friday. The 28-year-old outfielder has been a key part of Cincinnati's offense this season, slashing .362/.423/.511 across 52 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Taking a breather Saturday
    Seager is not in the Rangers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Seager will begin Saturday's game in the dugout as he gets a rest day for the first time since April 15. Since then, Seager has gone 6-for-37 with one run and one RBI. Josh Smith will start at shortstop and Ezequiel Duran at third base against Reds right-hander Hunter Greene. Rotowire.com 11 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 13 minutes ago
     
  • Added as 27th man
    The Rockies added Toglia to their active roster Saturday ahead of their series against the Astros in Mexico City.

    Advice: The Rockies were permitted to add an additional position player to their roster for their two-game series in Mexico City, so Toglia will come up from Albuquerque to provide additional flexibility at first base and in the outfield. The 25-year-old has slashed .106/.143/.362 across 49 big-league plate appearances. Rotowire.com 26 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 33 minutes ago

  • Placed on injured list
    The Nationals placed Gallo on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Gallo is slashing .122/.286/.311 across 91 plate appearances so far this season, but his shoulder injury will cause him to miss at least the next 10 days. Alex Call was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to replace Gallo as outfield depth. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago

  • Pops homer Friday
    Contreras went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

    Advice: The Cardinals mustered just five hits, but Contreras and Alec Burleson provided a pair of homers to make it work. Contreras continues to play through a lingering hand injury, and while it's limited his ability to catch, he's been fine at the plate. Since the injury occurred April 3, he's gone 17-for-52 (.327) with two homers, six doubles and five RBI. For the season, he's slashing .296/.425/.563 with four homers, nine RBI, 12 runs scored, seven doubles and a stolen base over 21 contests. Contreras will continue to split time between catcher and designated hitter. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Nationals bring up Alex Call on Saturday from AAA
    Nationals recalled OF Alex Call from Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: Call joins Washington’s injury-depleted outfield mix after mashing six homers in 19 games this season for Triple-A Rochester. The 29-year-old former third-round pick has gotten into 175 games in the big leagues over the last three years between the Nationals and Guardians. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Nationals recalled Call from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

    Advice: Call failed to make the big-league roster out of spring training, but he will rejoin the Nationals after slashing .216/.306/.486 with six homers and 17 RBI across 85 Triple-A plate appearances. He'll provide additional depth to Washington's outfield unit while Joey Gallo (shoulder) is on the injured list. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
