  • 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 24 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 25 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 27 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 31 minutes ago

  • Getting breather Saturday
    Higashioka isn't in the Padres' lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

    Advice: The Padres will give Higashioka a day off Saturday after he belted a two-run homer during Friday's win. In his place, Brett Sullivan will start behind the dish and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
     
  • Oneil Cruz absent from Saturday’s lineup vs. Braves
    Oneil Cruz is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves.

    Advice: Despite the presence of lefty Max Fried on the mound for Atlanta in this one, this might be a mental break more than anything for Cruz, who is batting .143 (4-for-28) with two homers and one steal over his last seven games. He’s been mired in an extended funk the past few weeks, hitting .195 (23-for-118) with just four homers and two steals over his last 30 contests. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
     
  • In Saturday's lineup
    Ortiz (neck) will start at third base and bat leadoff during Saturday's game versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Ortiz made an early exit from Wednesday's game versus the Rangers and sat out Friday's series opener due to neck problems, but he's feeling well enough to play Saturday. The 25-year-old third baseman has found a good amount of success at the plate recently, going 5-for-14 with a solo home run over his last five games. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
