Player Notes

  • Andrew Benintendi leaves early with Achilles issue
    Andrew Benintendi was pulled from Saturday afternoon’s matchup against the Brewers due to left Achilles tendinitis.

    Advice: Benintendi got the White Sox on the board in the third inning with a 397-foot blast off of Robert Gasser. Perhaps he irritated something on the swing or while rounding the bases though, as he was replaced by Dominic Fletcher when the White Sox took the field. The club should have an update on his status — and potential timeline for his return — after the game. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:20 pm
  • Idle versus southpaw
    Fraley isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: With lefty starter Justin Steele set to toe the slab for Chicago, the lefty-hitting Fraley will step out of the lineup Saturday. His absence will move Tyler Stephenson into the DH role while Luke Maile starts behind the plate, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:52 pm
  • Sitting versus lefty
    Benson isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Benson will retreat to the dugout as the lefty-throwing Justin Steele prepares to toe the slab Saturday. Stuart Fairchild will fill the void in right field and bat in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:49 pm
  • On bench versus lefty
    Canzone is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Angels.

    Advice: Canzone will get a breather as the Mariners face off with southpaw Reid Detmers. Mitch Garver will draw the start at designated hitter and bat seventh versus Los Angeles. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:35 pm
  • Mark Canha (hip) expected to return on Sunday
    Mark Canha (hip) is expected to return to the Tigers’ lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Canha sat out his second straight game on Saturday with the hip issue, but the training staff believe it’s something that he can manage and play through rather than something that’s going to require a trip to the injured list. He told reporters on Saturday, “Just happens when you get to be 35... I’ve never had this injury before, so it’s new. The same thing happens with me every year. You never know what’s going to pop up as you get older.” He’s considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:18 pm

  • Takes seat Saturday
    Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Although the Padres are set to face right-hander Alec Marsh on Saturday, Peralta will sit on the bench while Donovan Solano serves as San Diego's designated hitter and bats sixth. Peralta has gone just 3-for-15 with seven strikeouts since joining the Friars on May 22. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:08 pm
  • Remains sidelined Saturday
    Donovan (neck) isn't in the Cardinals' lineup Saturday against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Neck stiffness caused Donovan to be scratched from St. Louis' lineup before Friday's contest, and the issue seems to still be bothering him Saturday. Alec Burleson, Mike Siani and Dylan Carlson will start across the outfield while Donovan sits, allowing Jose Fermin to serve as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:58 am

  • Getting breather versus lefty
    Frelick isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the White Sox.

    Advice: With lefty Garrett Crochet set to start on the bump for Chicago, the lefty-hitting Frelick will sit on the bench to begin Saturday's game. Jackson Chourio will fill the opening in right field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:54 am
  • Resting versus LHP
    Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: The White Sox will send left-hander Garrett Crochet to the mound to start Saturday's contest, meaning the lefty-hitting Bauers will watch the beginning of the game from the dugout. Rhys Hoskins will start at first base, with Christian Yelich in left field and Gary Sanchez in as the DH. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:52 am
