  • 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 5 minutes ago
     
  • Not starting Saturday
    Ruiz isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Ruiz is slashing just .147/.190/.221 through 100 plate appearances on the year, so he will give way to Riley Adams on Saturday as the Nats look for more production at the plate from their catcher. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Duran will sit Saturday versus the Angels.

    Advice: Duran will head to the bench after going 1-for-12 with a walk and four strikeouts over the last four games. Jonah Heim will slot in at designated hitter while Andrew Knizner enters the lineup behind the plate and bats eighth against Los Angeles. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • Not in lineup Saturday
    Carter is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Angels.

    Advice: Carter will remain on the bench for another contest Saturday, though it may be a result of the team facing left-hander Patrick Sandoval and not his back injury. Manager Bruce Bochy said Friday that the outfielder would be available off the bench versus Los Angeles and he did go 0-for-1 in the contest. Carter will look to return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale, but in the meantime, Robbie Grossman will draw the start in left field and bat sixth Saturday. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

  • Breather Saturday
    Loperfido is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Brewers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Loperfido will get a breather after he went 2-for-8 with a two-run home run over the last three contests. Mauricio Dubon will replace him in left field and bat ninth against Milwaukee. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Evan Carter sitting against lefty on Saturday
    Evan Carter is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Angels.

    Advice: Carter’s exclusion from Saturday’s lineup card appears to be purely matchup driven with southpaw Patrick Sandoval on the mound for Los Angeles, but he’s out of the lineup for a seventh straight contest since last weekend recovering from a lower-back issue. The 21-year-old former top prospect should be available to pinch-hit, if needed, on Saturday night. He should return to the lineup on Sunday afternoon to face righty José Soriano.

  • 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.

  • 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 39 minutes ago
