  • Robbie Grossman drives in pair with two hits
    Robbie Grossman went 2-for-4 with two RBI in a victory over the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Grossman also drew a walk. The left-handed hitter had been really struggling since coming over to the Rangers with just two hits since May 8, but he was able to match that total while bringing home a couple of runners Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:11 pm
     
  • Mark Canha (hip) expected to return on Sunday
    Mark Canha (hip) is expected to return to the Tigers’ lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Canha sat out his second straight game on Saturday with the hip issue, but the training staff believe it’s something that he can manage and play through rather than something that’s going to require a trip to the injured list. He told reporters on Saturday, “Just happens when you get to be 35... I’ve never had this injury before, so it’s new. The same thing happens with me every year. You never know what’s going to pop up as you get older.” He’s considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:18 pm

  • Expects to play Sunday
    Canha (hip) expects to play a full game Sunday versus the Red Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Canha is dealing with a psoas strain in his left hip and his ability to return to the lineup Sunday will be a big test for his status moving forward. If he suffers a setback, the 35-year-old will likely head to the injured list. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:25 pm

  • Re-enters lineup
    McCarthy is starting in left field and batting eighth Saturday against the Mets.

    Advice: McCarthy was originally scheduled to have the day off versus left-hander Sean Manaea, but he will now be called upon to fill in for Lourdes Gurriel (undisclosed), who was a late scratch. McCarthy has found success this year in a small sample size versus left-handed pitchers, slashing .429/.500/.476 across 24 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:49 am
     
  • Scratched Saturday
    Gurriel was scratched from Arizona's lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: It isn't immediately clear why Gurriel was taken out of the lineup, but the Diamondbacks should provide more information on his status relatively soon. In the meantime, Jake McCarthy will start in left field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:45 am
     
  • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. scratched from Saturday’s lineup
    Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has been scratched from Saturday’s lineup.

    Advice: No word yet on the reason for the change. It’ll be Jake McCarthy taking over in left field on Saturday afternoon against the Mets at Citi Field. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:42 am
     
  • Remains out Saturday
    Canha (hip) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Red Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Canha was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to left hip soreness, and he'll be forced to sit out again Saturday. Colt Keith will slot in at designated hitter while Zach McKinstry enters the lineup at second base and bats seventh against Boston. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:33 am

  • Idle against southpaw
    Pederson isn't in Arizona's lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Pederson will retreat to the dugout Saturday as lefty Sean Manaea draws the start on the mound for New York. Ketel Marte will fill in as the D-backs' DH while Blaze Alexander starts at second base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:38 am
