• Jazz Chisholm Jr. gets rare day off on Saturday
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the division-rival Nationals.

    Advice: It’s a rare day off for Chisholm, who has made an appeares in 68 of 69 contests this season for Miami. The talented 26-year-old outfielder is batting .254/.319/.435 with 10 homers and 13 steals in 285 plate appearances. It’ll be Dane Myers patrolling center field on Saturday afternoon in his absence.

  • Nationals ink Harold Ramírez to minor league pact
    Nationals signed OF Harold Ramírez to a minor league contract.

    Advice: It certainly didn’t take long for Ramírez to find a new opportunity after being released earlier this week by the Rays. However, it’s a bit surprising that he was forced to settle for a minor league deal. The 29-year-old corner outfielder boasts a solid .287/.325/.408 triple-slash line with 37 homers and 18 steals in 511 games in the majors since 2019. He’s batted .300 with 19 homers and 13 steals over the last three season for Tampa Bay and represents a solid depth addition for the rebuilding Nationals. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him in Washington very soon. Rotoworld Today, 10:58 am
  • Day off versus left-hander
    Chisholm is not in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Nationals.

  • On bench Saturday
    Calhoun is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Giants, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

  • Kyle Tucker (shin) might require rehab assignment
    Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters Saturday that Kyle Tucker (shin) might require a minor league rehab assignment.

    Advice: Espada elaborated that Tucker might need some rehab games to get back up to speed if he doesn’t resume running at some point this weekend. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar has been out since early June recovering from a right shin contusion and has yet to resume baseball activities. There should be a clearer picture of his potential return timeline at some point in the coming days. It certainly doesn’t sound like he’s close at this juncture. Rotoworld Today, 10:45 am

  • Day off Saturday
    Hays is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Hays will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in the team's 11-inning 5-3 loss in the series opener Friday. Colton Cowser will slide over to left field while Cedric Mullins enter the lineup in center field and bats seventh versus Philadelphia. Rotowire.com Today, 10:41 am
  • Receiving start in right field
    Laureano will start in right field and bat ninth in Saturday's game versus the Rays.

    Advice: Atlanta will deploy Adam Duvall, Jarred Kelenic and Laureano as its starting outfield in this one and it could be the regular setup for them for a while with Michael Harris (hamstring) joining Ronald Acuna (knee) on the injured list. Laureano had a lowly .494 OPS in 31 games with the Guardians earlier this season before getting released. He seemed to find his footing at Triple-A Gwinnett with a 1.028 OPS and three homers in 14 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:27 am
  • Braves move Jarred Kelenic up to leadoff spot
    Jarred Kelenic is batting leadoff for Saturday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Kelenic has been bumped up to the leadoff spot in the wake of Michael Harris II hitting the injured list with a hamstring strain. It’s a nice temporary boost for the 24-year-old former top prospect’s fantasy outlook, if he can capitalize on the opportunity. He holds a pedestrain .706 OPS four homers and one steal in 54 games this season. Rotoworld Today, 10:24 am
  • Moves up to leadoff spot
    Kelenic will start in center field and bat leadoff in Saturday's game versus the Rays.

    Advice: With Michael Harris (hamstring) joining Ronald Acuna (knee) on the shelf, Atlanta has lost each of its last two leadoff hitters against right-handed pitching. Kelenic will get the next crack at the job, which is quite a promotion given that he hadn't previously batted higher than seventh this season. This is also his first start of the season in center field. Rotowire.com Today, 10:23 am
