    • Sitting Saturday as expected
      Candelario (hamstring) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Manager David Bell said Friday that Candelario is trending toward a return for Sunday's series finale, so it isn't too surprising to see the 30-year-old infielder absent from Saturday's lineup. Spencer Steer will once again get the nod at first base, and Noelvi Marte will cover the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 8:49 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

    • 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

    • Orioles outright Nick Maton to Triple-A
      Orioles sent INF Nick Maton outright to Triple-A Norfolk.

      Advice: Maton will stick around as extra organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed earlier this week. The 27-year-old infielder got into one game this season for Baltimore after appearing in 179 contests between the Tigers and Phillies since 2021. Rotoworld Today, 5:58 am

    • Homer, steal in win
      Chapman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Friday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Chapman's power has come back, as he has three extra-base hits -- including two homers -- over his last five games. The third baseman gave the Giants their first lead Friday with his sixth-inning blast. For the season, he's up to 10 homers, 35 RBI, 53 runs scored and seven steals while posting a .235/.316/.399 slash line over 80 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:37 pm
       
    • Matt Chapman homers, steals base in victory
      Matt Chapman stole a base and hit a two-run homer in a win for the Giants on Friday over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Chapman hit a two-run homer off Daniel Hudson for his 10th homer of the season, and he stole his seventh bag of the year for good measure. The 31-year-old has been a mild disappointment thus far in 2024 — depending on expectations, of course — with a .235/.316/.399 slash, but the homers and steals have help balance things out a bit.

    • Hit streak at 12 games
      Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 16-5 loss to the Yankees.

      Advice: The infielder took Michael Tonkin deep in the sixth inning, giving Kiner-Falefa his seventh long ball of the season, one off his career high. He's also hit safely in 12 straight games, batting a blistering .395 (17-for-43) over that stretch with three homers, six RBI and 10 runs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:48 pm

    • Anthony Rendon to face live pitching next week
      Angels’ manager Ron Washington told reporters on Friday that Anthony Rendon will face live pitching late next week.

      Advice: The 34-year-old third baseman is nearing the end of his recovery from a torn left hamstring and is closing in on a return to the Angels’ lineup. Prior to landing on the injured list in April, Rendon had been hitting .267/.325/.307 with zero homers, three RBI and three stolen bases through his first 83 plate appearances on the season.

    • Jeimer Candelario (knee) expected to return Sunday
      Reds’ manager David Bell told reporters on Friday that Jeimer Candelario (knee) is expected to return to the starting lineup on Sunday.

      Advice: Candelario has missed each of the team’s last three games due to a knee issue and he’ll sit on Saturday as well. The team doesn’t want him to miss a full 10 days though and they’re very hopeful that he’ll be able to return to action on Sunday. Fantasy mangers may still want to sit him through the weekend though to be on the safe side if alternative options are available. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:24 pm
