  • Max Kepler dealing with elbow soreness
    Max Kepler is day-to-day with elbow soreness.

    Advice: Kepler managed to stay in Friday’s extra-inning marathon against the Athletics, eventually delivering the game-winning hit, after being hit by a pitch in the elbow earlier in the contest. He’ll benefit from Saturday’s rainout by getting some extra time to rest and recover. It’s possible he’ll be ready for the opening contest of Sunday’s doubleheader at Target Field.

  • Inks minors deal with Nationals
    The Nationals signed Ramirez to a minor-league contract, MMark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Ramirez was released by the Rays earlier this week after hitting just .268/.284/.305 in 48 games. The 29-year-old is a career .287/.325/.408 hitter and has slashed .322/.357/.445 against left-handed pitching. Ramirez will report to Triple-A Rochester for now but is a good bet to be added to the Nationals' roster sooner rather than later, especially with Joey Gallo (hamstring) expected to miss significant time.

  • Nationals ink Harold Ramírez to minor league pact
    Nationals signed OF Harold Ramírez to a minor league contract.

    Advice: It certainly didn’t take long for Ramírez to find a new opportunity after being released earlier this week by the Rays. However, it’s a bit surprising that he was forced to settle for a minor league deal. The 29-year-old corner outfielder boasts a solid .287/.325/.408 triple-slash line with 37 homers and 18 steals in 511 games in the majors since 2019. He’s batted .300 with 19 homers and 13 steals over the last three season for Tampa Bay and represents a solid depth addition for the rebuilding Nationals. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him in Washington very soon. Rotoworld Today, 10:58 am
     
  • On bench Saturday
    Calhoun is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Giants, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Calhoun will remain on the bench for a third game in a row Saturday. Taylor Ward will draw another start at designated hitter while Kevin Pillar enters the lineup in left field and bats fourth versus San Francisco. Rotowire.com Today, 10:49 am
     
  • Day off Saturday
    Hays is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Hays will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in the team's 11-inning 5-3 loss in the series opener Friday. Colton Cowser will slide over to left field while Cedric Mullins enter the lineup in center field and bats seventh versus Philadelphia. Rotowire.com Today, 10:41 am
     
  • Receiving start in right field
    Laureano will start in right field and bat ninth in Saturday's game versus the Rays.

    Advice: Atlanta will deploy Adam Duvall, Jarred Kelenic and Laureano as its starting outfield in this one and it could be the regular setup for them for a while with Michael Harris (hamstring) joining Ronald Acuna (knee) on the injured list. Laureano had a lowly .494 OPS in 31 games with the Guardians earlier this season before getting released. He seemed to find his footing at Triple-A Gwinnett with a 1.028 OPS and three homers in 14 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:27 am
     
  • Taking seat Saturday
    Hurtubise is absent from the lineup for Saturday's game in Milwaukee.

    Advice: The left-handed hitter had started the last three contests and each of the past six games versus right-handed pitching. Hurtubise will begin this one on the bench, though, as the Brewers go with a lefty opener and righty bulk reliever. Will Benson is in left field. Rotowire.com Today, 10:18 am
