  • Getting rare day off
    Betts isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: After starting 47 consecutive games and posting an incredible .341/.440/.562 slash line to begin the year, Betts will step out of the lineup for the first time all season. Miguel Rojas will instead start at shortstop while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:12 pm

  • Expected back Tuesday
    The Cubs expect to reinstate Swanson (knee) from the injured list Tuesday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Swanson took live batting practice Friday for the first time since landing on the injured list May 10 with a right knee injury, and he appears to be trending toward a return shortly after the minimum 10 days. He will reclaim his role as Chicago's everyday shortstop once he returns, though the 30-year-old infielder had gone just 1-for-18 with a solo home run in his last six games prior to landing on the IL.

  • Headed to Triple-A
    Peraza (shoulder) was transferred to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to continue his rehab assignment Saturday.

    Advice: Peraza went 2-for-16 with two solo home runs, four runs scored and a stolen base over 16 at-bats in five games with Double-A Somerset, and he'll now advance to the final step of his recovery from the shoulder injury he suffered in February. The 23-year-old could return to the Yankees at some point during their four-game series with the Mariners beginning Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:36 am

  • Launches homer Friday
    Neto went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 9-3 win against the Rangers on Friday.

    Advice: Neto broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning with a 405-foot, two-run blast to left field. The shortstop has homered in consecutive contests after going deep just once through his first 13 games in May. Neto is enjoying a strong month overall, slashing .308/.345/.519 with three homers, five RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases over 15 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:31 am

  • Tim Anderson (back) starting rehab assignment
    Tim Anderson (back) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday with Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Anderson hit the injured list earlier this month with lower back tightness and is already on the verge of returning. He could presumably be back early next week, barring something unexpected. Rotoworld Today, 10:29 am

  • Sitting versus lefty
    Cruz isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Left-hander Shota Imanaga will start on the mound Saturday for Chicago, meaning the lefty-hitting Cruz will step out of the lineup. Alika Williams will fill the opening at shortstop while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 10:11 am
     
  • Oneil Cruz getting day off Saturday vs. Cubs
    Oneil Cruz is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cubs.

    Advice: It’s a routine off day for Cruz with lefty Shota Imanaga toeing the rubber for Chicago. The 25-year-old shortstop has hit a small rough patch of late, hitting .207 (6-for-29) over his last seven contests. He does have two homers and one steal during that stretch, but has also struck out eight times with only one walk as well. Rotoworld Today, 9:25 am
