  • Christopher Morel walks off the Cubs on Saturday
    Christopher Morel went 1-for-3, driving in the winning run in the Cubs 1-0 win over the Pirates on Saturday.

    Advice: The Cubs and Pirates were scoreless going into the bottom of the ninth in what turned out to be a pitchers duel. Cody Bellinger reached scoring position with a one-out double off David Bednar. Morel followed with a base hit to walk it off, bringing Bellinger home for the winning run. The 24-year-old slugger is hitting .217/.300/.416 with nine homers, 32 RBI, and four steals across 190 plate appearances. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago

  • Breather Saturday
    Harris is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Royals.

    Advice: Harris will take a seat after he went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. The 25-year-old is in the midst of an 0-for-10 stretch at the plate and Abraham Toro will draw the start at third base and bat leadoff against Kansas City. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Return delayed multiple weeks
    Jung (wrist) still appears to be at least six weeks from returning to the lineup, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Jung has yet to pick up a bat after undergoing surgery on his right wrist April 2 and he is expected to be reevaluated in another 10-to-14 days before being cleared to start taking swings. The initial timeline for his return was 6-to-8 weeks, which was later adjusted to 10-to-12 weeks and he now appears to be tracking towards the latter end of that estimation, if not later. The repair of his fractured wrist proved to be trickier than initially anticipated and Texas will likely be cautious in their approach with their budding star at third base, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back until late June or early July.

    Betts isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: After starting 47 consecutive games and posting an incredible .341/.440/.562 slash line to begin the year, Betts will step out of the lineup for the first time all season. Miguel Rojas will instead start at shortstop while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago

  • Missing fifth straight
    Riley (side) isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game versus San Diego.

    Advice: Riley said Saturday that he is feeling better, per Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, but he has yet to resume swinging a bat. The 27-year-old infielder also noted that the team has not talked with him about a potential move to the injured list; however, Riley wouldn't say that he would be back in time for the start of Atlanta's upcoming series with the Cubs on Tuesday. Zack Short, who will start at third base and bat seventh Saturday, has served as Atlanta's third baseman since Riley went down and should continue to do so until the slugger recovers.

  • Austin Riley not in Saturday’s lineup vs. Padres
    Austin Riley (side) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s tilt against the Padres.

    Advice: Riley will miss his fifth straight contest due to left side inflammation. There’s a possibility he’ll be ready to go at some point later this weekend, but Atlanta clearly doesn’t want to take any chances by rushing him back too quickly. It’ll be Zack Short drawing another start at the hot corner in his ongoing absence. Rotoworld Today, 12:39 pm

  • Remains out Saturday
    Garcia (heel) isn't in the Nationals' lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Garcia was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to a heel injury, and he will take another day to recover Saturday. Ildemaro Vargas will fill in at the keystone and bat second. Rotowire.com Today, 12:32 pm
