    • Feeling arm fatigue
      Scherzer didn't factor into the decision Saturday against Baltimore, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks with one strikeout across two innings. Per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Scherzer said he felt arm fatigue during the start and, after a conversation with manager Bruce Bochy, decided it'd be best to not go out for the third inning.

      Advice: Scherzer threw 53 pitches Saturday and faded during the second inning, allowing all four runs. The three-time Cy Young winner spent almost three months on the injured list to start the season due to back, thumb and forearm injuries before being activated June 23. He was stretched out to 95 pitches by his fourth start, but has thrown 71 and 53 pitches in his last two appearances. While Scherzer shared optimism that the fatigue is a short-term concern and Saturday's removal was precautionary, it wouldn't be surprising for the 39-year-old's workload to be monitored until the fatigue subsides. He's on track to start Thursday against the White Sox in Arlington. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
       
    • Max Scherzer pulled due to arm fatigue on Saturday
      Max Scherzer was forced to leave Saturday’s start against the Orioles prematurely as he was battling arm fatigue.

      Advice: The 39-year-old hurler was lifted after throwing 53 pitches in two innings against the Orioles. Scherzer told reporters after the game that the fatigue was affecting both his stuff and location, which is the reason he was ultimately pulled. Rangers’ skipper Bruce Bochy didn’t sound concerned but noted that they’ll continue to monitor Scherzer going forward. As of now, it doesn’t sound like he’s going to have to miss his next scheduled start against the White Sox. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
       
    • Max Scherzer allows four over two in defeat
      Max Scherzer gave up four runs in just two innings of work Saturday in a loss to the Orioles.

      Advice: Scherzer gave up all four runs in the second inning before being pulled. The right-hander needed 53 pitches to complete both frames, and he allowed five hits while walking two versus one strikeout .A very disappointing beginning to the “second half” of the season for Scherzer. He’s scheduled for a much friendlier matchup Thursday against the White Sox. Rotoworld Today, 7:21 pm
       
    • Gavin Williams struggles in fourth vs. Padres
      Gavin Williams allowed three runs over 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the Padres on Saturday.

      Advice: Williams held the Padres off the board over the first three innings, but he gave up a three-spot in the fourth before being pulled from the contest. The right-hander had pitched well in his last few starts. This wouldn’t earn that same designation. He’ll take a 4.50 ERA into a start Thursday against Detroit. Rotoworld Today, 6:56 pm

    • Miranda won’t return when first eligible Sunday
      Twins’ manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters on Saturday that Jose Miranda (back) won’t return from the injured list when first eligible on Sunday.

      Advice: Miranda is progressing in his recovery from a lower back strain, but he’s going to need at least a few more days before he’s ready to rejoin the big-league club. Expect Austin Martin and Edouard Julien to continue to provide infield depth while Miranda, Carlos Correa and Royce Lewis are sidelined. Rotoworld Today, 2:22 pm

    • Idle against lefty
      Garcia isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Garcia will take a seat Saturday as the lefty-throwing Nick Lodolo prepares to start on the bump for the Reds. Ildemaro Vargas will take over at the keystone and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:05 pm
       
    • Goes yard again
      Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: He took Jack Flaherty deep in the sixth inning to get the Blue Jays on the board, a 445-foot blast that left Guerrero's bat at 117.5 mph. The first baseman continues to display his impressive power -- since the beginning of June, Guerrero has launched 10 homers in 41 games while slashing .289/.320/.541 with 32 RBI.
