  • 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 46 minutes ago

  • Idle Saturday
    McNeil isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against Houston.

    Advice: McNeil will get a day off Saturday after going 3-for-4 with a three-run homer during Friday's win. Jose Iglesias will start at second base instead and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 9:46 am

  • Sitting again Saturday
    Dahl isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Dahl will be on the bench for the fourth time in five games Saturday, even though the Phillies are set to match up against right-handed starter Roddery Munoz. Brandon Marsh, Johan Rojas and Nick Castellanos will start across the outfield while Dahl sits. Rotowire.com Today, 9:29 am

  • Back in lineup Saturday
    Fraley (calf) is starting in right field and batting fourth Saturday against St. Louis.

    Advice: Fraley missed three games after being scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to a bruised calf, but the issue has subsided ahead of Saturday's contest. The 29-year-old outfielder currently owns a career-best .277 batting average on the season; however, his .676 OPS represents his lowest mark since joining the Reds in 2022.

  • Sitting vs. lefty
    Varsho is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: With the Yankees sending left-hander Nestor Cortes to the mound Saturday, Varsho will retreat to the bench. Varsho returned to the starting lineup Thursday after sitting the three games prior due to a back injury, and he's gone 0-for-8 with five strikeouts over his last two starts. Kevin Kiermaier will start in center field Saturday and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:38 am

  • Jake Fraley returns to lineup Saturday vs. Cards
    Jake Fraley (calf) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Fraley is back at designated hitter and batting cleanup on Saturday afternoon following a three-game absence due to a right calf issue. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to wind up missing any additional time, but we’ll see. Rotoworld Today, 8:34 am

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Rockies optioned Bouchard (back) to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

    Advice: Bouchard hasn't played in five days due to lingering back tightness, and the return of Charlie Blackmon (hamstring) from the injured list will force Bouchard to continue recovering in the minor leagues. The 28-year-old outfielder has slashed .200/.307/.318 in the majors despite posting an impressive 1.115 OPS in Triple-A, and he'd be a favorite to return should Colorado experience any more problems with its outfield depth.

  • Rockies option Sean Bouchard to Triple-A
    Rockies optioned 1B/OF Sean Bouchard to Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Advice: Bouchard’s latest stint with the Rockies resulted in just two hits over four contests as he heads back to the minors with veteran Charlie Blackmon back from the injured list prior to Saturday’s game against the White Sox. Rotoworld Today, 8:25 am

  • Logs steal in loss
    Benson started in right field and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 1-0 loss to St. Louis.

    Advice: Benson, who was given a rare day off against a righty Wednesday, was in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game against a right-hander Friday. He stole his 10th base of the season, putting himself in scoring position, but Cincinnati was unable to get a key hit (1-for-10 with RISP). While Benson has struggled in 2024 -- he snapped a hitless run of 25 at-bats Thursday and is batting .191 -- the Reds have a couple of outfield injuries that should keep him in the lineup over the weekend. They are scheduled to face another righty, Lance Lynn, on Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:25 am
