  • Day off Saturday
    Heim is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Marlins.

    Advice: Heim will take a seat after he 3-for-22 with a double, two RBI and a run scored while starting the team's last six contests. Andrew Knizner will take over behind the plate and bat ninth against Miami. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
  • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. scratched from Saturday’s lineup
    Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has been scratched from Saturday’s lineup.

    Advice: No word yet on the reason for the change. It’ll be Jake McCarthy taking over in left field on Saturday afternoon against the Mets at Citi Field. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
  • Elbow issues return
    The Padres placed Musgrove on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right elbow injury, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Musgrove was originally slated to start Saturday against the Royals, but he will now return to the injured list after experiencing further issues with his right elbow/triceps. The 31-year-old was able to return from the IL after 16 days following his first encounter with elbow problems in May, but the Padres will likely bring him back slower this time around to ensure his elbow is back to 100 percent the next time he takes the mound. Randy Vasquez was recalled from Triple-A to start in Musgrove's place Saturday and will likely remain in the Padres' rotation until Musgrove is able to return. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
  • Cole Ragans to start on Sunday against Padres
    Cole Ragans will start on Sunday against the Padres.

    Advice: Ragans will take the ball on regular rest for Sunday’s series finale against San Diego with Brady Singer needing some extra rest as he continues to recover from an illness. Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters Saturday that Singer could slot into the rotation for Wednesday’s contest against the Guardians. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago

  • Activated, called up ahead of start
    Poteet (finger) was activated from the minor-league 7-day injured list and called up to start Saturday's contest versus the Giants.

    Advice: Poteet is officially set to make his second major-league start of the season Saturday, replacing Clarke Schmidt (lat) on the mound for the Yankees. The right-hander last pitched with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 19, allowing three runs over four innings before missing his last outing with a blister. Poteet drew his first start with New York on April 13, tossing six innings of one-run ball while striking out four in a win over the Guardians. It's unclear if the Yankees view Poteet as a long-term replacement for Schmidt, who's expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, but a strong outing Saturday could certainly make that a possibility.
