  • Sitting against righty
    Cave is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Cave had started in right field or left field in each of the last five games -- all against right-handed pitchers -- but he'll take a seat Sunday while southpaw Garrett Crochet takes the hill. The Rockies will roll out an outfield of Nolan Jones, Brenton Doyle and Charlie Blackmon from left to right. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:41 am

  • Getting third straight start at 1B
    Clemens will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: With Bryce Harper (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Clemens looks to have settled in as the Phillies' primary first baseman, at least against right-handed pitching. He'll make a third straight start Sunday after going 1-for-6 with a double in his first two games following his return from a stint on the IL due to a back issue. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:28 am
     
  • Reaches 10-homer mark
    Vientos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Vientos has flexed his power recently with five homers over his last nine games. In that span, he's batting .324 (12-for-37) with seven RBI and 10 runs scored. The third baseman is at a .297/.355/.578 slash line with 10 long balls, 23 RBI, 24 runs scored, no stolen bases and six doubles through 141 plate appearances this year. As long as the 24-year-old continues to hit well, he should have no trouble holding onto a starting job at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:11 pm
     
  • Vientos crushes 10th home run in loss Saturday
    Mark Vientos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run against the Astros on Saturday.

    Advice: Vientos’ home run was his 10th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Framber Valdez in the third inning. Vientos is hitting .297 with a .933 OPS and 23 RBI in 128 at-bats with New York this year. He should be rostered in all formats at this point. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:54 pm
     
  • Luke Raley (shoulder) returns to lineup Saturday
    Luke Raley (shoulder) returned to the Mariners’ starting lineup on Saturday.

    Advice: Raley missed each of the team’s previous two games due to soreness in his shoulder. He’s right back out there on Saturday night though, batting fifth and starting in left field against Pablo Lopez and the Twins. The 29-year-old has hit .253/.299/.444 with nine homers, 22 RBI and five stolen bases in 212 plate appearances with the M’s this season. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:11 pm

  • Back in lineup
    Raley (shoulder) will bat fifth and play left field Saturday against Minnesota.

    Advice: Raley was held out of the starting nine for back-to-back games with shoulder soreness, but he's feeling good enough to start Saturday. He entered Friday's 3-2 win as a pinch runner in the eighth inning and put down a sacrifice bunt in his lone plate appearance. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:51 pm

  • Sitting against lefty
    Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: With lefty Max Fried slated to take the hill for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Tellez will step out of the lineup Saturday. Connor Joe will get the nod at first base and bat third. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:55 am
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Bauers has now been on the bench for two straight games after hitting a grand slam during Wednesday's win over the Rangers. Rhys Hoskins will get the nod at first base while Christian Yelich serves as Milwaukee's DH. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:14 am
     
  • Idle vs. southpaw Saturday
    Horwitz is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Horwitz will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the Yankees sending southpaw Nestor Cortes to the mound. Horwitz went 1-for-4 in Friday's 16-5 loss to the Yankees, and for the season he's slashing .340/.484/.500 with two home runs and six RBI over 64 plate appearances. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at second base Saturday and bat second. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:33 am
