  • Hunter Goodman collects two hits in loss to Giants
    Hunter Goodman went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, one RBI, and a stolen base against the Giants on Saturday.

    Advice: With Elias Díaz sidelined with a hand injury, Goodman made his first start at catcher against the Giants. He doubled to lead off the third inning and scored on a single by Ezequiel Tovar. Goodman later drove in a run with a base hit in the sixth and stole second for his first steal of the season. The 24-year-old is 4-for-25 with two homers and five RBI with the Rockies.

  • Jason Heyward not in Dodgers lineup on Saturday
    Jason Heyward is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: After crushing a two-run homer in his return from the injured list on Friday night, Heyward is getting the day off on Saturday as manager Dave Roberts eases him back into action. The Dodgers will start Miguel Vargas in left field on Saturday while Enrique Hernandez holds down the hot corner once again in the absence of Max Muncy. Rotoworld Today, 1:08 pm

  • Giants claim Ryan McKenna off waivers from O’s
    Giants claimed OF Ryan McKenna from the Orioles.

    Advice: McKenna bolsters San Francisco’s outfield depth, which has been depleted in recent weeks due to injury, which includes losing center fielder Jung Hoo Lee for the rest of the season to shoulder surgery. The 27-year-old was designated for assignment earlier this week by the Orioles after getting into just nine games this season in the big leagues. Rotoworld Today, 12:35 pm

  • Claimed by Giants
    The Giants claimed McKenna off waivers from Baltimore on Saturday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Advice: McKenna was pushed off the Orioles' 40-man roster Monday to make room for Austin Hays' return from the injured list, but McKenna will have another opportunity to contribute in the big leagues as he moves to San Francisco. The 27-year-old outfielder owns a a .224/.302/.332 career slash line across four seasons in the majors, and he will provide depth to a Giants outfield that will be without Jung Hoo Lee (shoulder) for the rest of the season.

  • Sits down versus lefty
    Sabol isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Left-hander Ty Blach will start on the mound for Colorado, meaning the lefty-hitting Sabol will begin Saturday's contest on the bench. Curt Casali will start instead behind the dish while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:02 am

    Advice: With Byron Buxton (knee) returning from the injured list, Martin will be pushed back to Triple-A. During his latest stint in the majors, the 25-year-old utility player went 3-for-14 with two stolen bases and scored three times in eight games. Rotowire.com Today, 9:24 am

  • Twins option Austin Martin back to Triple-A
    Twins optioned INF/OF Austin Martin to Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: Martin was back up for a couple weeks as Byron Buxton’s replacement on Minnesota’s active roster, but will head back with the veteran center fielder set to return fro Saturday’s game in Cleveland. The 25-year-old rookie has batted .224/.289/.355 with one homer and four steals in 83 plate appearances over 30 contests this season at the highest level. Rotoworld Today, 9:17 am

  • Jordan Walker batting .328 at Triple-A Memphis
    Jordan Walker went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Friday for Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Just like that, Walker is batting .328 (19-for-58) with zero homers and two steals in 15 contests since being jettisoned to the minors back in late April following a brutal stretch at the dish to open the season. It’s easy to forget that Walker is still just 21 years old and still finding his footing at the highest level. He was an impact fantasy contributor last year when he returned from an early-season demotion and appears to be following a similar track this time around as well. Rotoworld Today, 3:25 am
