  • Getting breather
    Isbel is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Even with righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound for Los Angeles, Isbel will yield to Garrett Hampson in center field. Isbel had started in each of the Royals' past four games, going 4-for-13 with three runs scored. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Idle against southpaw
    Suwinski is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: the lefty-hitting Suwinski will take a seat against lefty Ty Blach on Saturday. Michael Taylor will play center field and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Resumes playing field
    Drury (hamstring) played second base in a rehab game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: This was Drury's fourth rehab game, but he had served as the designated hitter in each of the previous three contests. The veteran infielder is working his way back from a left hamstring injury that has kept him from competing for the Angels since May 8. Drury has gone 5-for-13 with three walks and an RBI in his rehab stint thus far and appears very close to rejoining the big-league club. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • Sitting against LHP
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

    Advice: Tellez will dodge a matchup with southpaw Ty Blach on Saturday, yielding to Connor Joe at first base. After a slow start to 2024, Tellez has come to life in June, hitting .385 with three extra-base hits and seven RBI in nine games played. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Idle Saturday
    Cruz (ankle) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

    Advice: Cruz was a late scratch from Friday's lineup with left ankle soreness and will take a seat once again Saturday. Jared Triolo will draw another start at shortstop and bat eighth for the Pirates. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • On bench Saturday
    Perez (knee) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Perez was pulled from Friday's game with right knee discomfort and will be held out of the lineup Saturday, giving way to Freddy Fermin behind the dish. While it's unclear how severe Perez's injury is, the Royals felt the need to call up catcher Austin Nola from Triple-A Omaha, indicating Perez could miss multiple games. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

  • DJ Herz strikes out 13 in dominant win vs. Marlins
    DJ Herz tossed six shutout innings with 13 strikeouts in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Herz was dominant against the Marlins on Saturday. Making his third career start, he struck out 13 batters on 21 whiffs over six shutout frames, second most strikeouts by a Nationals rookie behind Stephen Strasburg. Herz allowed just one baserunner on the day, a single by Jake Burger in the fifth inning. The 23-year-old left-hander will take a 3.77 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 21/5 K/BB ratio across 14 1/3 innings into a start against the Rockies in Colorado on Friday. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
