  • Sitting Saturday
    Caballero is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Caballero will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a double in the series opener Friday. Taylor Walls will start at shortstop Saturday and bat seventh against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting again Saturday
    Hoerner (hand) isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Hoerner sat out Friday's game after getting hit in the hand by a pitch Thursday, and the issue seems to still be bothering him ahead of Saturday's contest. David Bote will start at second base and bat seventh while Hoerner recovers. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Brendan Rogers out Saturday with hamstring issue
    Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Rodgers will get some extra time to rest and recover after leaving Friday’s game with a mild left hamstring injury. It certainly doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but the 27-year-old will likely sit out the remainder of the weekend to continue undergoing treatment. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
     
  • Nico Hoerner remains out Saturday with hand issue
    Nico Hoerner (hand) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: Additional X-rays on Hoerner’s hand were reportedly inconclusive on Friday after he had trouble gripping and swinging a bat. The 27-year-old was hit by a pitch during Thursday’s series opener and will sit out his second straight contest on Saturday afternoon. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment, but it wouldn’t be a total shock to see him land on the injured list at some point this weekend. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago

    Lopez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Despite Boston sending right-hander Brayan Bello to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Lopez will begin the game in the dugout while Danny Mendick starts at second base. Lopez started in the first two games of the series, going 1-for-8 with two strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 9:06 am

  • Ramping up activity
    Polanco (hamstring) has been ramping up baseball activities but will require a minor-league rehab assignment before activation, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The veteran infielder took full infield pregame practice during the Mariners' three-game road trip in Oakland earlier in the week, and there were no reported setbacks. However, manager Scott Servais confirmed before Friday's series opener against the Royals that Polanco would require at least a brief rehab assignment, which would likely unfold at Triple-A Tacoma in coming days.

  • Knocks first career homer
    Bliss went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: The rookie had made minimal impact at the plate at the big-league level thus far until Friday's blast, a 421-foot shot to left center with Victor Robles aboard to close out the Mariners' seven-run first inning. Bliss has now hit safely in three of his last five games, including two straight, after opening his major-league career by going 0-for-7 in his first three contests. Meanwhile, the homer marked his first extra-base hit since his May 27 debut. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 am

  • Jeff McNeil on the bench Saturday vs. Phillies
    Jeff McNeil remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s London Series opener against the Phillies.

    Advice: McNeil is out of the lineup for the fourth straight game and fifth time in New York’s last seven as his struggles at the dish continue. The 32-year-old infielder is batting .227/.296/.320 with three homers and three steals across 224 plate appearances. It’ll be Jose Iglesias at second base and batting eighth during Saturday’s series opener across the pond. Rotoworld Today, 7:35 am
