  • Cut by Nats
    The Nationals released 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 at least net a minor-league deal with another organization in need of outfield help.

  • 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 20 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 29 minutes ago

  • Scratched Saturday
    Gurriel was scratched from Arizona's lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Mets.
