    • Remains sidelined Saturday
      Donovan (neck) isn't in the Cardinals' lineup Saturday against Philadelphia.

      Advice: Neck stiffness caused Donovan to be scratched from St. Louis' lineup before Friday's contest, and the issue seems to still be bothering him Saturday. Alec Burleson, Mike Siani and Dylan Carlson will start across the outfield while Donovan sits, allowing Jose Fermin to serve as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 11:58 am

    • Eyeing Wednesday return
      Singer (illness) is feeling better but still needs a few days to recover strength, potentially slotting in to start Wednesday in Cleveland according to manager Matt Quatraro, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Singer was scratched from his last scheduled start Thursday versus the Twins due to an illness, but he now appears to be on track to return to the mound relatively soon. The right-hander is in the midst of a career year with Kansas City, producing a 2.63 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 64 strikeouts over 61.2 innings in his first 11 starts of 2024.

    • Breather Saturday
      Kwan is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Washington.

      Advice: Kwan will head to the bench after he went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in his return to the lineup Friday after missing nearly four weeks with a hamstring injury. David Fly will slot in at left field while Kyle Manzardo enters the lineup at designated hitter and bats sixth against the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 11:23 am

    • Steven Kwan not in Saturday’s lineup vs. Nationals
      Steven Kwan is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Nationals.

      Advice: Kwan will take a seat on Saturday afternoon with rookie southpaw Mitchell Parker toeing the rubber for Washington at Progressive Field. The 26-year-old contact-oriented outfielder didn’t show any signs of rust on Friday when he tallied three hits and reached base safely in four of his five plate appearances during his return from the injured list.

    • Nathaniel Lowe gets rare day off on Saturday
      Nathaniel Lowe is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Marlins.

      Advice: It’s a rare day off for Lowe, who holds a .701 OPS with two homers, 17 RBI and one steal in 153 plate appearances over 36 games. It’ll be versatile Ezequiel Duran taking over at the cold corner to open Saturday’s game against the Marlins at loanDepot park. Rotoworld Today, 10:51 am
       
    • Joe Musgrove lands on IL with elbow inflammation
      Padres placed RHP Joe Musgrove on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

      Advice: Musgrove lasted just two starts before an elbow issue winds up sending him back on the shelf. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Musgrove is dealing with a recurring triceps/elbow issue, which “is not believed at this time to be a season-ending injury.” The fact that the term season-ending is even being brought up here isn’t an encouraging sign. It certainly doesn’t sound great and fantasy managers should anticipate Musgrove returning anytime soon. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days once he undergoes some additional imaging to determine whether he’s dealing with any structural damage. Stay tuned.

    • On bench versus lefty
      Lowe is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Marlins.

      Advice: Lowe will get a day off as Texas faces left-hander Ryan Weathers on the mound Saturday. Ezequiel Duran will replace him at first base and bat fifth versus Miami. Rotowire.com Today, 10:47 am
       
    • Elbow issues return
      The Padres placed Musgrove on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right elbow inflammation, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

      Advice: Musgrove was originally slated to start Saturday against the Royals, but he will now return to the injured list after experiencing further issues with his right elbow/triceps. The 31-year-old was able to return from the IL after 16 days following his first encounter with elbow problems in May, but the Padres will likely bring him back slower this time around to ensure his elbow is back to 100 percent the next time he takes the mound. Randy Vasquez was recalled from Triple-A to start in Musgrove's place Saturday and will likely remain in the Padres' rotation until Musgrove is able to return. Rotowire.com Today, 10:39 am
       
    • Scratched from start
      Musgrove will not start as scheduled Saturday against the Royals.

      Advice: The Padres recalled Randy Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso to start Saturday's contest, causing Musgrove's next start to be pushed back. It's unclear whether the 31-year-old is dealing with an injury or the Padres simply want to give him some extra rest, but the team should offer some clarity in the near future.
