  • 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 in right field 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
     
  • Idle vs. southpaw Saturday
    Horwitz is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Horwitz will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the Yankees sending southpaw Nestor Cortes to the mound. Horwitz went 1-for-4 in Friday's 16-5 loss to the Yankees, and for the season he's slashing .340/.484/.500 with two home runs and six RBI over 64 plate appearances. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at second base Saturday and bat second. Rotowire.com Today, 8:33 am
     
  • Jeimer Candelario sitting out Saturday vs. Cards
    Jeimer Candelario (knee) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: As expected, Candelario is sitting out Saturday’s contest due to right knee tendinitis, but there’s optimism he’ll be ready to return for Sunday’s series finale. Rotoworld Today, 8:31 am
     
  • In lineup Saturday after HBP
    Springer (hand) is starting in right field and batting fifth for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Springer left in the seventh inning of Friday's 16-5 loss to the Yankees after taking a fastball of his left hand in the bottom of the fifth. Springer is hitting .207 for the season, but over his last five games he's gone 8-for-19 with three home runs and 10 RBI. He'll face off against Yankees southpaw Nestor Cortes on Saturday.

  • 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.

  • Productive from bottom of order
    Rojas went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in an extra-inning win over the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: Rojas was the only Mariner to garner multiple hits on a quiet night overall for Seattle's bats, and he contributed the first run of the game on a fifth-inning two-bagger that plated Mitch Haniger. Rojas now has four multi-hit efforts in the last 12 games, a stretch during which he's accumulated five extra-base hits despite just a modest .250 average and .302 on-base percentage. Friday's production also snapped a rare skid for Rojas, who'd gone 0-for-14 over the previous four contests. Rotowire.com Today, 8:29 am

  • 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
     
  • Enters starting lineup
    Maile started at catcher and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Primary catcher Tyler Stephenson was added to the paternity list Friday, which means Maile could handle the catching chores over the weekend. Maile is batting .188/.288/.281 over 37 games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:12 am
     
  • Ready to return to lineup
    Lowe (toe) went 0-for-1 with a strikeout Friday against the Nationals.

    Advice: Lowe has been sidelined for five straight games with a fractured pinky toe, and Friday's appearance as a pinch hitter was his first since suffering the injury. However, manager Kevin Cash said that Lowe was physically capable of being a starter, but he remained on the bench due to a matchup against lefty Mitchell Parker, per MLB.com. Lowe wore a protective guard over his right cleat. Rotowire.com Today, 6:36 am
