  • Garrett Mitchell starting rehab assignment Tuesday
    Garrett Mitchell (finger) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday.

    Advice: Mitchell has been on the shelf since spring training recovering from a fractured left finger. The 25-year-old has some contact issues to address, but has some power/speed impact potential, which is enough to keep him on fantasy radar screens, if he can stay healthy.

  • Back in lineup
    Kelenic (wrist) is starting in left field and batting ninth Saturday versus the Nationals

    Advice: Kelenic missed Atlanta's last two games after injuring his wrist on a diving catch Wednesday, but it no longer seems to be an issue prior to Saturday's contest. The 24-year-old outfielder has gone 10-for-31 (.323) with three RBI and five runs scored over his last 10 games. Rotowire.com Today, 11:34 am
     
  • Austin Hays available off bench Saturday vs. Rays
    Austin Hays is available off the bench for Saturday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Hays remains out of Baltimore’s lineup for the second straight contest after being hit by a pitch in the ribs during Thursday’s series finale against Toronto. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters X-rays came back negative on Hays’ ribs, but they want to stay away from using him in the field at least for a couple more days.

  • Resting versus lefty
    Crow-Armstrong isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Reds.

    Advice: Southpaw Andrew Abbott will start on the bump for Cincinnati, meaning the lefty-hitting Crow-Armstrong will begin Saturday's contest on the bench. Cody Bellinger will start in center field with Michael Busch at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:08 am
     
  • Not starting Saturday
    Suzuki (oblique) isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Suzuki was hit in the left side by a throw while stealing second base during Friday's loss, and he was later taken out of the game as a precaution after he felt his oblique tighten up. It's still unclear how serious his injury is, but the Cubs will play it safe Saturday and keep him sidelined. His absence will move Christopher Morel into the DH spot while Patrick Wisdom starts at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:01 am

  • Sitting Saturday
    O'Neill is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: O'Neill left in the third inning of Friday's 7-2 loss to the White Sox due to right knee discomfort. The 28-year-old recently came off the injured list due to inflammation in the same knee. O'Neill is slashing .250/.354/.500 with 11 home runs and 18 RBI over 181 plate appearances this season. Bobby Dalbec will start in right field Saturday and bat seventh against White Sox right-hander Nick Nastrini. Rotowire.com Today, 10:52 am
     
  • Seiya Suzuki out Saturday due to side tightness
    Seiya Suzuki (side) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Reds.

    Advice: It doesn’t come as a surprise to see the Cubs proceeding cautiously here after Suzuki left Friday’s showdown for precautionary reasons due to left side tightness. The 29-year-old corner outfielder has dealt with oblique issues on both sides over the last few years, so it’s understandable that Chicago doesn’t want to take any chances here. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 10:43 am
