  • Aaron Judge reaches three times against Jays
    Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

    Advice: Judge knocked a base hit in the first inning, then drew an intentional walk in the third. With another single in the fifth, Judge drove in the first run of the game for New York. The 32-year-old slugger is slashing an MVP-esque .313/.434/.700 with 30 homers, 64 RBI, and 80 RBI across 365 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:04 pm
     
  • Resting Saturday
    Rosario isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Rosario will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-4 in Friday's series opener -- his first hit in his last four games. His absence will allow Harold Ramirez to serve as Washington's DH while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:26 am

  • Back in action Saturday
    Winker (knee) is starting in left field and batting third Saturday against the Rays.

    Advice: Winker was battling knee problems after getting his foot caught in the outfield grass during the first inning of Friday's game, but he appears to be in good enough shape to play Saturday. The 30-year-old has slashed .260/.377/.412 through 302 plate appearances this season, though he may see limited work in the outfield after top prospect James Wood officially joins the Nationals for his MLB debut Monday.

  • Sitting again Saturday
    Butler is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Even with Arizona sending right-hander Zac Gallen to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Butler will begin the game in the dugout. Daz Cameron will start in right field and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:47 am
     
  • Jesse Winker in Saturday’s lineup against Rays
    Jesse Winker (knee) is in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Winker is back in left field and batting third for Saturday’s showdown after suffering a right knee contusion during the bottom of the first inning of Friday’s game when he attempted to catch a fly ball near the left-field wall. His right cleat got caught in the turf, causing him to stumble and fall into the wall, which led to his exit from the contest. He’s apparently feeling well enough to get back in the lineup, which is a relief for the Nationals, and fantasy managers as well. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:37 am
     
  • Joey Loperfido on the bench Saturday vs. Mets
    Joey Loperfido is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Mets.

    Advice: Loperfido sits for the first time in seven contests since returning last week from Triple-A Sugar Land. The 25-year-old slugging prospect has just four hits in 19 at-bats during that stretch. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:34 am
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Loperfido is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Loperfido has started in each of the Astros' last six games, going 4-for-19 with two doubles and two RBI while striking out seven times. Yordan Alvarez will shift to left field against Mets right-hander Tylor Megill, as Yainer Diaz serves as the designated hitter and Cesar Salazar starts behind the plate.

  • James Wood doubles three times Friday at Triple-A
    Nationals OF prospect James Wood went 3-for-5 with three RBI on Friday for Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: Talk about finishing strong. All indications are that Wood is headed to the majors on Monday for his big-league debut when the Nationals kick off a series against the division-rival Mets, but he’s not quite done mashing in the minors just yet. The 21-year-old showed why he’s one of the most exciting prospects in the fantasy landscape in this one by scalding a season-high three doubles on Friday evening to raise his triple-slash line to a sublime .353/.463/.595 with 10 homers and 10 steals across 52 games this season for Triple-A Rochester. He’s ready. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:22 am

  • Collects three hits Friday
    Judge went 3-for-5 with three runs and two RBI in a 16-5 win against the Blue Jays on Friday.

    Advice: It was unusual for Judge rack up three hits without any going for extra bases -- coming into Friday, 54 of his 88 hits on the season had been of the extra-base variety. Nonetheless, the slugger's ninth-inning, two-run single resulted in a sixth game with at least one RBI over his past 10 contests. Judge has been red hot over that stretch, slashing .382/.462/.853 with five home runs, 16 RBI and nine runs scored. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:20 am
