  • Waived by Nats
    The Nationals requested unconditional release waivers on Robles on Saturday.

    Advice: Robles was designated for assignment Monday, and the Nationals will now opt to let him go rather than sending him outright to one of their minor-league affiliates. The 27-year-old has slashed .120/.281/.120 across 33 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he should be able to contribute for another outfield-needy organization -- even if only in the minors.

  • Day off Saturday
    Kiermaier is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Pirates.

    Advice: Kiermaier will get a breather after he went 1-for-11 with an RBI, a run scored, two stolen bases and four strikeouts while starting the last three games. Daulton Varsho will slide over to center field while Cavan Biggio enters the lineup at second base after some shuffling, batting ninth against Pittsburgh. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Masataka Yoshida (thumb) takes BP on Saturday
    Masataka Yoshida (thumb) progressed to taking batting practice on Saturday at Fenway Park.

    Advice: Yoshida progressed to taking on-field batting practice for the first time since landing on the injured list back in early May with a left thumb issue. The 30-year-old slugger should be ready for a minor league rehab assignment at some point in the coming weeks, if not sooner. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago

  • Steven Kwan not in Saturday’s lineup vs. Nationals
    Steven Kwan is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kwan will take a seat on Saturday afternoon with rookie southpaw Mitchell Parker toeing the rubber for Washington at Progressive Field. The 26-year-old contact-oriented outfielder didn’t show any signs of rust on Friday when he tallied three hits and reached base safely in four of his five plate appearances during his return from the injured list.

  • Back in lineup Saturday
    Varsho (illness) will start in center field and bat second Saturday versus the Pirates.

    Advice: Varsho will return to the lineup after missing Friday's 5-3 win due to food poisoning. The 27-year-old has struggled to a .157 average with seven extra-base hits, including four homers, over his last 18 contests. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Re-enters lineup
    McCarthy is starting in left field and batting eighth Saturday against the Mets.

    Advice: McCarthy was originally scheduled to have the day off versus left-hander Sean Manaea, but he will now be called upon to fill in for Lourdes Gurriel (undisclosed), who was a late scratch. McCarthy has found success this year in a small sample size versus left-handed pitchers, slashing .429/.500/.476 across 24 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Remains on bench
    Jankowski is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Marlins.

    Advice: Jankowski will remain on the bench for a second straight game as the Rangers take on left-hander Ryan Weathers on the mound. Wyatt Langford will slot in at left field while Robbie Grossman enters the lineup at designated hitter and bats third versus Miami. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched Saturday
    Gurriel was scratched from Arizona's lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: It isn't immediately clear why Gurriel was taken out of the lineup, but the Diamondbacks should provide more information on his status relatively soon. In the meantime, Jake McCarthy will start in left field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
