    • Brenton Doyle scratched with knee issue Saturday
      Brenton Doyle was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Saturday night due to left patella tendinitis.

      Advice: The fact that he was in the team’s initial lineup before getting scratched bodes well for his availability moving forward. Doyle should be considered day-to-day. Michael Toglia will start in his place in right field and will bat sixth for the Rockies on Saturday night against Jared Jones and the Pirates. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:00 pm
       
    • Scratched from lineup
      Doyle was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates with left patella tendinitis, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

He took Patrick Sandoval deep for a two-run shot in the first inning, then drove in the third run on a double in the fifth. Ramos added a third extra-base hit with a double in the seventh. The 24-year-old outfielder is hitting an excellent .325/.407/.571 with eight homers and 30 RBI across 145 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:53 pm
       
    • Sitting versus southpaw
      Hamilton is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: Hamilton will get a breather as Boston squares off against southpaw Carlos Rodon. The 26-year-old Hamilton saw his five-game hit streak come to an end Friday, but he's still batting .308 with two home runs, five RBI, six runs scored and five stolen bases over his last nine games. Ceddanne Rafaela will draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth against New York. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:32 pm
       
    • José Caballero (illness) not in Saturday’s lineup
      José Caballero (illness) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves.

      Advice: Caballero will get an extra day off to rest and recover following an early exit from Friday’s showdown due to illness. It’ll be Amed Rosario taking a turn at shortstop on Saturday afternoon in his absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:04 am
       
    • Absent from lineup
      Caballero (illness) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Atlanta.

    • Laces triple in loss
      Rooker went 1-for-5 with an RBI triple in an extra-inning loss to the Twins on Friday.

      Advice: Rooker's seventh-inning three-bagger plated JJ Bleday to snap a 4-4 tie, giving the Athletics a temporary reprieve after they'd blown an early 4-0 lead. The triple was Rooker's second of the season -- a new career high -- and marked his first extra-base hit since June 4. The veteran outfielder has now hit safely in five of his last seven games, but he's also carrying a .172 average and 43.3 percent strikeout rate across the 30 plate appearances he's logged in that span.

    • Up to second in order
      Doyle went 2-for-5 Friday against the Pirates.

      Advice: Doyle has been productive across his last eight games, collecting nine hits across 32 at-bats while scoring five runs, driving in five and stealing four bases. He's also hit second in Colorado's lineup in four of the team's last six contests, and he stayed in that position even with Nolan Jones back in the lineup Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:13 am
