  • Garrett Stubbs homers in loss to Marlins
    Garrett Stubbs went 1-for-2 with a solo homer against the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Stubbs put the Phillies on the board with a solo homer off Roddery Muñoz to lead off the third inning, his first homer of the season. It was one of two runs the Phillies would score in the loss to Miami. The 29-year-old backstop has taken over as the primary catcher with J.T. Realmuto on the injured list. He’s slashing .216/.281/.261 across 96 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 3:50 pm
     
  • Swinging bat, plans to catch
    Herrera (back) said Saturday that he has been swinging a bat over the past several days and plans on catching a bullpen session soon, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Herrera added that he may progress to participating in batting practice within the next several days, and a rehab assignment could come shortly afterward if his back responds properly. However, it's possible the Cardinals opt to keep him in the minor leagues once he's activated now that Willson Contreras and Pedro Pages are both on the active roster. Rotowire.com Today, 12:24 pm

  • Mets outright Joe Hudson to Triple-A
    Mets sent C Joe Hudson outright to Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Hudson got into one game earlier this month for the Mets with Luis Torrens away from the club on paternity leave.

  • Getting Saturday off
    Barnhart isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game versus Oakland.

    Advice: The switch-hitting Barnhart owns just a .290 OPS this season against left-handed pitching, so he'll take a seat Saturday as the A's send southpaw Hogan Harris to the mound. Jose Herrera will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:05 am
