  • Getting Saturday off
    Sanchez isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Sanchez will sit down for the second game in a row Saturday despite the Marlins being matched up against right-hander Aaron Nola. Bryan De La Cruz will start in right field as a result, moving Josh Bell into the DH spot with Jake Burger at first base and Vidal Brujan at the hot corner. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Corbin Carroll sits Saturday against southpaw
    Corbin Carroll is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Athletics.

    Advice: It appears to be a routine off day for Carroll with lefty Hogan Harris drawing the starting assignment on Saturday afternoon for Oakland. The 23-year-old’s sophomore campaign hasn’t gone as planned, but he’s shown some signs of life over the last few weeks, batting .253 (22-for-87) with eight extra-base hits (zero homers) and five steals since June 1. The complete lack of over-the-fence pop at the moment remains a massive concern for fantasy managers moving forward. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago

  • Joey Ortiz back leading off Saturday against Cubs
    Joey Ortiz (neck) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Ortiz is back at the hot corner and leading off on Saturday after sitting out Friday’s contest due to neck tightness. The 25-year-old rookie infielder has been phenomenal this season in his Brewers debut with an .835 OPS to go along with seven homers and five steals over 251 plate appearances in 72 games.

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

    Advice: Rocchio will be absent from the lineup for the second time in three games Saturday. He went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Friday's 10-3 loss to Kansas City. Gabriel Arias will start at shortstop Saturday and bat ninth against Royals southpaw Cole Ragans. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to Reno
    The Diamondbacks optioned Hughes to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

    Advice: Hughes owns a 2.00 ERA through 27 frames at Triple-A, but he's allowed four earned runs in 3.1 innings since joining the Diamondbacks' bullpen Sunday. He'll now be sent back to Triple-A to make room for Zac Gallen (hamstring), who was reinstated from the IL in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting vs lefty Saturday
    Schneemann is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Schneemann will retreat to the dugout with the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the mound Saturday. Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Jose Iglesias gets nod at second base on Saturday
    Jose Iglesias is at second base and batting eighth for Saturday’s game against the Astros.

    Advice: Iglesias is becoming a bit of a cult hero in New York at the moment, and his on-field performance hasn’t been too shabby either. The 34-year-old journeyman infielder is batting .406 (13-for-32) since June 1. He’s pretty irrelevant for fantasy purposes, but his presence has injected some badly-needed life into the Mets clubhouse. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Reinstated from IL
    The Diamondbacks reinstated Gallen (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Saturday versus Oakland.

    Advice: Gallen was able to build up to 67 pitches while throwing bullpen sessions and sim games during his time on the injured list, so it's possible he'll be under a pitch count as he makes his first start since May 30. In a corresponding move, Brandon Hughes was optioned to Triple-A Reno. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • DFA'd by Cleveland
    The Guardians designated Kent for assignment Saturday.

    Advice: Kent has been on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus since April 19 due to a right elbow strain. He pitched five scoreless innings across his three outings in the minors this season, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out eight. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
