  • Mashes another homer
    Santander went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rays.

    Advice: Santander's slow start to the season stood out compared to most of the rest of the Orioles, but he's warmed up significantly. Over his last 15 games, the outfielder is hitting .291 (16-for-55) with six homers and 11 RBI. He's homered in four of his last seven contests and now has a .227/.306/.472 slash line with 13 long balls, 36 RBI, 33 runs scored and no stolen bases over 58 games this season.

  • Activated off IL
    Gray (groin) was activated off the 15-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the Giants, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Gray landed on the injured list May 23 due to a right groin strain. He started in 10 games prior to the injury, going 2-2 with a 2.21 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 56:17 K:BB over 57 frames. Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that there is a good chance Gray pitches in relief before his next start, which will likely be during the Rangers' upcoming road series against the Dodgers, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.

  • Colton Cowser sitting against righty on Saturday
    Colton Cowser is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Cowser has posted some one the best hard-hit percentages of any rookie this season, but the Orioles overabundance of quality options has led to a decrease in playing time of late. The 24-year-old has started just four of Baltimore’s last seven contests for matchup reasons. It’ll be lefties Cedric Mullins in center field and Kyle Stowers in left field on Saturday afternoon with righty Kevin Gausman toeing the rubber for Toronto. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
     
  • Getting breather Saturday
    Langford is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Langford will sit for the first time since returning from the IL on May 28 due to a hamstring injury. Since his return, Langford has slashed .235/.257/.324 with four RBI over 34 at-bats. The lefty-hitting Travis Jankowski will start in left field Saturday and bat seventh against Giants right-hander Spencer Howard. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Justyn-Henry Malloy in LF on Saturday vs. Brewers
    Justyn-Henry Malloy is in left field and batting sixth on Saturday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Malloy draws his first start in the outfield after spending four straight contests at designated hitter to open his big-league career. The 24-year-old on-base machine has gone 2-for-11 with a solo homer in 13 plate appearances so far. The lack of elite over-the-fence power upside limits his appeal to deeper mixed leagues and AL-only formats for now. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting again Saturday
    Seager (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Seager will sit for a second straight game after injuring his left hamstring Wednesday against the Tigers. Josh Smith will shift over to shortstop Saturday while Ezequiel Duran gets the start at third base against Giants right-hander Spencer Howard. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

  • Wyatt Langford absent from Saturday’s lineup
    Wyatt Langford is not in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Giants.

    Advice: Langford heads to the bench with backstop Jonah Heim at designated hitter and veteran Travis Jankowski drawing a rare start in left field. The 22-year-old rookie is batting .235 with zero homers and four RBI in nine contests since returning from the injured list back on May 28. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
     
  • Corey Seager out Saturday due to hamstring injury
    Corey Seager (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Giants.

    Advice: The encouraging news here for fantasy managers is that Seager hasn’t landed on the injured list yet after suffering a mild left hamstring injury earlier this week. The 30-year-old fantasy stalwart will miss his second straight contest on Saturday afternoon and remains day-to-day for now. There should be some clarity on his status at some point later this weekend if he’s unable to get back in the lineup. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

  • Rays activate Colin Poche for Saturday return
    Rays activated LHP Colin Poche from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Poche returns to Tampa Bay’s high-leverage mix ahead of Saturday’s contest against the Orioles following a nearly seven-week absence due to back tightness. The 30-year-old lefty struggled in 10 relief outings prior to landing on the shelf back in late April. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
