  • Multi-hit effort in Saturday's win
    France went 2-for-4 with two runs in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

    Advice: The veteran played the table-setting role in the victory, scoring the first and final runs of the game on a Cal Raleigh double play groundout and home run, respectively. France has a pair of two-hit efforts in the last three games, but zooming further out, he's sitting on a lackluster .213/.260/.362 slash line over the 50 plate appearances covering his last 13 contests.

  • On bench in second straight
    Bart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Though he stuck around over Henry Davis -- who was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday -- once Yasmani Grandal (foot) was activated from the 10-day injured list, Bart looks as though he'll operate as the Pirates' No. 2 option behind the plate. He'll take a seat for the second straight day while Grandal logs another start at catcher. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Jacob Young returns to starting lineup for Nats
    Jacob Young (back) is hitting leadoff Sunday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Young sat out Saturday after leaving Friday’s game with back spasms. The Nationals called his absence precautionary, and the fact he’s back a day later is pretty good evidence of that. Young has been excellent in 2024 with a .311 average and 12 steals in 81 plate appearances. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Lifts third homer in win
    Urias went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

    Advice: Urias gave the Mariners a bit of breathing room with a 420-foot shot to center in the fifth, extending Seattle's lead to 3-0 at the time. The offseason addition has now matched the three-homer total he mustered across 52 games in 2023 while logging time with the Brewers and Red Sox, but he's still carrying a worrisome .154 average and .267 on-base percentage. However, the lopsided slash line also includes a career-best .462 slugging percentage, as all six of Urias' hits this season have gone for extra bases (three doubles, three homers).

  • Mitch Haniger sitting Sunday vs. Astros
    Mitch Haniger is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Astros.

    Advice: Haniger will get a day of rest for the series finale for the Mariners with Hunter Brown on the bump for the Astros. Luke Raley will hit seventh and handle right field on Haniger’s day off. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
     
  • Wyatt Langford (leg) not in lineup Sunday vs. KC
    Wyatt Langford (leg) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Royals.

    Advice: Langford left Saturday’s game with a leg injury that occured trying to beat out a ground ball. The 22-year-old rookie will sit Sunday with Corey Seager operating as the designated hitter and Josh Smith playing shortstop. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Senga (shoulder) throws 32 pitches in live BP
    Kodai Senga (shoulder) threw 32 pitches in his live bullpen session Saturday.

    Advice: Senga has now faced live hitters twice this week. The Mets will now determine the next steps for the right-hander in the coming days, as they want to see how he responds before deciding when he’ll begin a rehab assignment. There’s a very good chance he does begin that assignment at this point, however, and he’s on track to make his return around May 27 — the earliest Senga can be activated off the 60-day IL.

  • Good to go Sunday
    Young (back) will start in center field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Blue Jays, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old exited Friday's contest due to back spasms and didn't start Saturday, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Young has gone just 2-for-10 over his past four games but has a .311/.354/.378 slash line with 12 steals in 81 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Reinstated, batting fifth Sunday
    Carlson (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting in center field and batting fifth Sunday against the White Sox.

    Advice: The 25-year-old missed the first five weeks of the season due to a sprained left shoulder, but he's back with the Cardinals after going 3-for-11 with three walks and a solo homer during a four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Memphis. Carlson should step in as St. Louis' primary center fielder, at least until Tommy Edman (wrist) makes his own return from the injured list. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
