  • Receiving start in right field
    Laureano will start in right field and bat ninth in Saturday's game versus the Rays.

    Advice: Atlanta will deploy Adam Duvall, Jarred Kelenic and Laureano as its starting outfield in this one and it could be the regular setup for them for a while with Michael Harris (hamstring) joining Ronald Acuna (knee) on the injured list. Laureano had a lowly .494 OPS in 31 games with the Guardians earlier this season before getting released. He seemed to find his footing at Triple-A Gwinnett with a 1.028 OPS and three homers in 14 contests. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Braves move Jarred Kelenic up to leadoff spot
    Jarred Kelenic is batting leadoff for Saturday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Kelenic has been bumped up to the leadoff spot in the wake of Michael Harris II hitting the injured list with a hamstring strain. It’s a nice temporary boost for the 24-year-old former top prospect’s fantasy outlook, if he can capitalize on the opportunity. He holds a pedestrain .706 OPS four homers and one steal in 54 games this season. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

  • Moves up to leadoff spot
    Kelenic will start in center field and bat leadoff in Saturday's game versus the Rays.

    Advice: With Michael Harris (hamstring) joining Ronald Acuna (knee) on the shelf, Atlanta has lost each of its last two leadoff hitters against right-handed pitching. Kelenic will get the next crack at the job, which is quite a promotion given that he hadn't previously batted higher than seventh this season. This is also his first start of the season in center field. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

    Advice: Kepler was hit by a pitch on the elbow Friday and according to manager Rocco Baldelli, the outfielder is sore while dealing with some stiffness. Baldelli said that Kepler will probably "need a day or two," but the injury isn't considered to be a long-term concern. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago

  • Out against lefty
    Frelick is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Reds.

    Advice: Southpaw Andrew Abbott is drawing the start for Cincinnati, which means Frelick will begin this one on the bench. Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio will play the corner outfield spots for the Brewers while Gary Sanchez gets a start at designated hitter. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
