    • Remains out Saturday
      Smith is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Smith will miss a second straight game as he nurses "general tightness". Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at third base while Robbie Grossman enters the lineup at designated hitter and bats seventh against Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 1:35 pm

    • Placed on paternity list
      Heim was placed on the paternity list Saturday.

      Advice: Heim will be away from the team for up to three days as he is with his family for the birth of his third child. In the meantime, fellow catcher Sam Huff was called up from Triple-A Round Rock to replace him on the major-league roster. Rotowire.com Today, 1:12 pm
       
    • Rangers place Jonah Heim on paternity list
      Rangers placed C Jonah Heim on the paternity list.

      Advice: The hard-hitting 28-year-old backstop will be away from the team for a few days to welcome a new addition to his family. Sam Huff was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock and will help share the load behind the plate while Heim is away. Rotoworld Today, 1:04 pm
       
    • Devin Williams (back) nearing mound work
      Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy told reporters on Saturday that Devin Williams (back) remains on track to return after the All-Star break.

      Advice: Murphy also noted that the 29-year-old hurler is expected to get on a mound soon as he continues his recovery from a pair of stress fractures in his back. While Trevor Megill has been outstanding in his stead, Williams is one of the premiere closers in all of baseball and should jump right back into the Brewers’ ninth inning role as soon as he’s healthy enough to do so.

    • Expected to throw off mound soon
      Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Saturday that Williams (back) is expected to be cleared to throw off a mound soon, Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic reports.

      Advice: Murphy also added that Williams remains on track to return just after the All-Star break, although that would seem to be a tentative timetable given that the reliever has yet to resume throwing off a mound. Williams is working his way back from multiple stress fractures in his back. Trevor Megill has operated as the Brewers' primary closer with Williams on the shelf. Rotowire.com Today, 10:52 am
       
    • Adds steal Friday
      Gimenez went 2-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Gimenez has two steals over his last three games, giving him 11 thefts on the year. The second baseman has struggled at the plate in June, batting .206 (7-for-34) over eight contests, but he continues to see a starting role even after a recent run of the Guardians facing four left-handed starters in a six-game span. For the season, Gimenez is slashing .266/.320/.363 with four home runs, 35 RBI, 35 runs scored, 10 doubles and one triple. Rotowire.com Today, 10:15 am
       
    • Placed on 10-day IL
      Harris (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

      Advice: As expected, Harris will now be sidelined for at least 10 days while nursing a strained left hamstring. Ramon Laureano was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett to replace Harris on the major-league roster while Spencer Strider (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list in corresponding moves.

    • Michael Harris II hits IL with hamstring strain
      Braves placed OF Michael Harris II on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

      Advice: No word yet on the severity of the injury, but fantasy managers should anticipate Harris missing at least a couple weeks, even in a best-case scenario. The 23-year-old upper-echelon fantasy contributor, who hits the shelf with a .653 OPS with five homers and eight steals across 278 plate appearances through 67 contests, suffered the injury during the opening frame of Friday’s contest against the Rays while running the bases. There should be some clarity on his return timeline in the coming days. Rotoworld Today, 7:32 am
       
    • Experiencing general tightness
      Smith was not in the starting lineup Friday due to what manager Bruce Bochy referred to as "general tightness," Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: It's the same condition that led to Smith being held out of Tuesday's starting lineup. He eventually entered Friday's game as a pinch hitter, popping out in the ninth inning. With Corey Seager not playing the field yet as he battles a hamstring issue, Ezequiel Duran started at shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 6:04 am
