  • Placed on injured list
    Atlanta placed Herget on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, retroactive to Thursday.

    Advice: Herget struck out two batters and gave up a solo home run during his most recent outing Wednesday, and he appears to have come away from the game with a shoulder injury. He'll remain sidelined until at least June 21, and Daysbel Hernandez will come up from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill Herget's spot in the bullpen. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Jeffers is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Jeffers has gone 0-for-16 with six strikeouts over his last five games, and he is down to .234/.323/.500 over 218 plate appearances this season. Christian Vazquez will start behind home plate Saturday and bat ninth against Pirates right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
     
  • Braves recall Daysbel Hernández on Saturday
    Braves recalled RHP Daysbel Hernández from Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: Hernández rejoins Atlanta’s bullpen mix with Jimmy Herget (shoulder) landing on the injured list ahead of Saturday’s showdown against the Nationals. The 27-year-old righty has made a pair of relief appearances this season in the big leagues. He figures to operate in middle relief and can be safely ignored for fantasy purposes.

  • Resting versus lefty
    Crow-Armstrong isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Reds.

    Advice: Southpaw Andrew Abbott will start on the bump for Cincinnati, meaning the lefty-hitting Crow-Armstrong will begin Saturday's contest on the bench. Cody Bellinger will start in center field with Michael Busch at first base. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
