  • Sitting again Saturday
    Butler is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Even with Arizona sending right-hander Zac Gallen to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Butler will begin the game in the dugout. Daz Cameron will start in right field and bat fifth. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago
     
  • Added to lineup
    Sanchez will serve as Miami's designated hitter and bat fourth Saturday against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Sanchez was left off the Marlins' initial lineup for Saturday's contest, but he'll now enter the starting nine after Vidal Brujan (undisclosed) was scratched. Sanchez has gone 9-for-36 with three home runs, six RBI and six runs scored over his last 10 games. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Out of lineup Saturday
    Nevin is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

    Advice: For the second straight game, Nevin will be in the dugout Saturday while Armando Alvarez starts at third base. Since making his major-league debut June 22, Alvarez has gone 6-for-12 with one RBI and one stolen base, and his encouraging play over the last week could mean the rookie and Nevin split starts in the infield until Abraham Toro (hamstring) returns from the injured list after the All-Star break.

  • Jesse Winker in Saturday’s lineup against Rays
    Jesse Winker (knee) is in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Winker is back in left field and batting third for Saturday’s showdown after suffering a right knee contusion during the bottom of the first inning of Friday’s game when he attempted to catch a fly ball near the left-field wall. His right cleat got caught in the turf, causing him to stumble and fall into the wall, which led to his exit from the contest. He’s apparently feeling well enough to get back in the lineup, which is a relief for the Nationals, and fantasy managers as well. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched Saturday
    Brujan was scratched from the Marlins' lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus Philadelphia, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Marlins have not yet provided a reason for Brujan's removal from the lineup, but the team should offer some clarity within the near future. In the meantime, Jake Burger will shift to third base for Brujan while Josh Bell moves to first, allowing Jesus Sanchez to enter the lineup as Miami's DH. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Joey Loperfido on the bench Saturday vs. Mets
    Joey Loperfido is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Mets.

    Advice: Loperfido sits for the first time in seven contests since returning last week from Triple-A Sugar Land. The 25-year-old slugging prospect has just four hits in 19 at-bats during that stretch. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Scheduled for bullpen session
    Burdi (hip) will throw a live bullpen session Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Sunday will be the first time Burdi has thrown since landing on the injured list May 24 due to right hip inflammation. In the 12 games Burdi appeared in before the injury, he posted a 1.86 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 9.2 innings. More bullpen sessions will be on the menu for the 31-year-old right-hander -- barring any setbacks after Sunday -- as he aims to return after the All-Star break. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting again Saturday
    Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Saturday marks the fifth consecutive time Peralta has been left out of the starting lineup, though it will only be the second time he's sat against a right-handed starter (Tanner Houck). In his absence, Bryce Johnson will start in right field for the fifth game in a row while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Marlins scratch Vidal Bruján from Saturday’s lineup
    Vidal Bruján was scratched from Saturday’s lineup.

    Advice: Bruján was scratched in order to get Jesús Sánchez back into Miami’s lineup at designated hitter after he got the go-ahead from the club’s training staff following a pregame check. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
