  • Andrew Vaughn dealing with sprained left finger
    Andrew Vaughn is not in Saturday’s lineup due to a sprained left ring finger.

    Advice: Vaughn will miss his second straight contest on Saturday due to an injury that he suffered earlier this week while sliding into third base. The hope is that he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list and be ready to return to Chicago’s lineup at some point early next week. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

  • Waived by Nats
    The Nationals requested unconditional release waivers on Robles on Saturday.

    Advice: Robles was designated for assignment Monday, and the Nationals will now opt to let him go rather than sending him outright to one of their minor-league affiliates. The 27-year-old has slashed .120/.281/.120 across 33 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he should be able to contribute for another outfield-needy organization -- even if only in the minors.

  • Nationals officially release Victor Robles
    Nationals released OF Victor Robles.

    Advice: Robles was one of the top prospects in baseball just a few years ago and put together an impressive 17-homer, 28-steal full-season debut campaign back in 2019. Unfortunately, his on-field performance has plummeted over the last four-plus seasons since the pandemic, posting a .222/.301/.308 triple-slash line with 11 homers and 39 steals in 1,124 plate appearances over 341 games since the outset of the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. At just 27 years old, it’s possible another organization will elect to roll the dice, but the stunning downward trajectory of his career is one of the strangest outcomes for any consensus top prospect in recent memory.

  • Sitting Saturday
    Jansen will sit Saturday versus the Pirates.

    Advice: Jansen will take a seat after he went 0-for-4 with two walks, a run scored and two strikeouts in Friday's 5-3 win. Alejandro Kirk will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth against Pittsburgh. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
     
  • Day off Saturday
    Kiermaier is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Pirates.

    Advice: Kiermaier will get a breather after he went 1-for-11 with an RBI, a run scored, two stolen bases and four strikeouts while starting the last three games. Daulton Varsho will slide over to center field while Cavan Biggio enters the lineup at second base after some shuffling, batting ninth against Pittsburgh. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
