  • Colton Cowser sitting against righty on Saturday
    Colton Cowser is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Cowser has posted some one the best hard-hit percentages of any rookie this season, but the Orioles overabundance of quality options has led to a decrease in playing time of late. The 24-year-old has started just four of Baltimore’s last seven contests for matchup reasons. It’ll be lefties Cedric Mullins in center field and Kyle Stowers in left field on Saturday afternoon with righty Kevin Gausman toeing the rubber for Toronto. Rotoworld Today, 9:52 am
     
  • Not starting Saturday
    Robert is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

    Advice: Oscar Colas will shift to center field Saturday, while Zach DeLoach will start in right field against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. In four games since returning from the injured list, Robert has gone 3-for-16 with a pair of homers and eight strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 9:12 am
     
  • Brendan Rodgers day-to-day with hamstring injury
    Brendan Rodgers was removed from Friday’s game against the Cardinals with a left hamstring injury.

    Advice: Rockies skipper Bud Black told reporters afterwards that Rodgers felt a small grab while running out a fielder’s choice in the fourth inning of Friday’s game, which led to his early exit. He added that Rodgers will rest and undergo treatment in the coming days in the hope that he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It doesn’t sound like he’ll return to Colorado’s lineup until early next week. Rotoworld Today, 4:37 am
     
  • Tyler O’Neill exits Friday with knee discomfort
    Tyler O’Neill was removed from Friday’s game against the White Sox due to right knee discomfort.

    Advice: O’Neill walked off the field with Boston’s training staff in the third inning of Friday’s contest at Guaranteed Rate Field after experiencing right knee discomfort earlier in the game while catching a routine fly out. The 28-year-old slugger returned earlier this week from the injured list following a nine-game absence due to right knee inflammation. He told reporters afterwards that he’s hopeful this latest incident won’t require another trip to the injured list, but it’s a concerning development that he’s still having knee issues. There should be a decision on his status prior to Saturday’s showdown in Chicago. Rotoworld Today, 4:33 am
     
  • Tending to hamstring issue
    Rodgers exited Friday's game against the Cardinals after feeling tightness in his hamstring while running the bases, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Both Rodgers and manager Bud Black expressed optimism that the injury is not serious. However, Rodgers will reportedly require treatment over the next couple of days, suggesting it would be a surprise to see him in the lineup Saturday. Alan Trejo should line up to start at second base if Rodgers is forced to remain on the bench. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:20 pm
     
  • Pops fourth homer
    Robert went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Robert did his damage in the opening inning to tally his fourth home run of the season and second in four games since returning from the injured list. Manager Pedro Grifol suggested that Robert would require regular rest days, though he has started every matchup since being activated and has gone a combined 3-for-16 with eight strikeouts.

  • Dealing with oblique tightness
    Suzuki said after Friday's game versus the Reds that he asked to be removed in the sixth inning after feeling tightness in his oblique, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Suzuki was hit in the side by a throw while stealing a base in the first inning, and he was checked on by trainers after appearing uncomfortable at the plate in the fifth frame. He later was replaced in right field by Mike Tauchman -- a precautionary move given Suzuki's recent history with oblique injuries. The Cubs haven't run any tests on the 29-year-old's oblique, so an update on his status will likely have to wait until before Saturday's contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:55 pm

  • Suzuki felt oblique tighten before leaving Friday
    Seiya Suzuki left Friday’s game as a precaution due to tightness in his oblique.

    Advice: Suzuki has dealt with oblique strains in the past and missed time in 2024 due to one, so the Cubs decided to be as careful as possible when he felt it tighten after being hit in the side. For now the outfielder should be considered day-to-day, but any type of tightness felt over the weekend will likely have the 29-year-old sitting. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:41 pm

  • Rodgers leaves vs. Cards with apparent injury
    Brendan Rodgers left Friday’s game with an apparent injury against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Rodgers was limping to first base and exited slowly. The Rockies should provide an injury update on the 27-year-old before the end of Friday’s contest. Alan Trejo has replaced Rodgers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:52 pm
