    Ryan O’Hearn was scratched from the Orioles’ starting lineup on Saturday due to a sore ankle.
    The issue isn’t believed to be major and the 31-year-old slugger is considered day-to-day. Dylan Carlson will step in the Orioles’ lineup to replace him and will bat eighth against Angels’ southpaw Tyler Anderson on Saturday afternoon in Baltimore.
    Casparius may get good ratios as Dodgers starter
    Eric Samulski analyzes the Dodgers moving Ben Casparius into the starting rotations and what he will bring to fantasy managers in his new role.
  • BOS Center Fielder #19
    Roman Anthony is not in the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Saturday’s tilt against the Yankees.
    The 21-year-old phenom had started each of his first four games since joining the Red Sox on Monday, but he’ll get a breather against tough southpaw Carlos Rodon on Saturday evening in Boston. Rob Refsnyder will start in his place in right field and hit out of the leadoff spot for the Red Sox with Jarren Duran sliding down to the fifth spot in the lineup.
  • CIN Center Fielder #26
    Reds designated OF Jacob Hurtubise for assignment.
    The 27-year-old outfielder cracked the Reds’ Opening Day roster, but struggled in his time with the Reds, hitting just .083 (1-for-12) in his limited action. He wasn’t much better at Triple-A Louisville either, slashing .144/.336/.186 with zero homers, eight RBI and a 29/22 K/BB ratio over 133 plate appearances. There’s a decent chance he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra outfield depth for the Reds.
  • CIN Left Fielder #13
    Reds claimed OF Ryan Vilade off of waivers from the Cardinals and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville.
    The 26-year-old outfielder had been designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Thursday. He’ll say in the National League Central where he’ll report to Triple-A Louisville. Vilade went 1-for-13 in his limited action at the big league level for the Cardinals.
  • STL Left Fielder #33
    Brendan Donovan (toe) is not in the Cardinals’ starting lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Brewers.
    It’ll be the fourth straight game that Donovan has missed due to a sprained capsule in the joint of his left big toe. Cardinals’ manager Oli Marmol said that he’s okay playing shorthanded for the weekend if it means that the team can avoid a stint on the injured list for Donovan and that appears to be how they’re playing this. He’s still considered day-to-day.
  • TOR Right Fielder #25
    Blue Jays’ manager John Schneider told reporters on Saturday that Anthony Santander (shoulder) has yet to be cleared to resume hitting.
    The 30-year-old outfielder has been shelved since the end of May due to inflammation in his left shoulder. He has been limited to just light throwing drills since that time, so it sounds like once he is ready to resume hitting it’s going to take him a while to build back up and he’ll probably require a minor league rehab assignment as well.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #31
    Max Scherzer (thumb) will make another minor league rehab start at Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.
    The 40-year-old right-hander came out of Friday’s rehab outing feeling good and experienced only normal fatigue from the start after throwing 56 pitches. He’ll throw a side session on Sunday before rejoining the Bisons for another start on Wednesday. If all goes well with that one, he could then get clearance to return to the Blue Jays’ rotation.
  • STL Center Fielder #22
    Cardinals optioned OF Michael Siani to Triple-A Memphis.
    The Cardinals had to make room on their active roster for the return of Jordan Walker (wrist) on Saturday and it appears as though Siani drew the short straw this time around. The 25-year-old outfielder has hit .235/.316/.235 with zero RBI and a 7/2 K/BB ratio in 19 plate appearances with the Cardinals this season.
  • STL Right Fielder #18
    Cardinals activated OF Jordan Walker from the 10-day injured list.
    The 23-year-old slugger has been shelved since May 29 due to inflammation in his left wrist. He took a few at-bats on a minor league rehab assignment over the past two days and was deemed ready to return. He’ll start in right field and bat seventh against Jose Quintana and the Brewers on Saturday afternoon in Milwaukee.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #65
    Nestor Cortes (elbow) threw 30 pitches during a successful bullpen session on Friday.
    It was the third bullpen session that the 30-year-old southpaw has completed in his recovery from a left elbow flexor strain. He’ll repeat the process again next week with a pair of up-downs before he’s cleared to face live hitters for the first time. He’s still at least a month away from potentially being an option to help out the Brewers’ rotation.
