    Braves designated C Jeff Mathis for assignment.
    This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for fellow catcher Kevan Smith, who was acquired from the Rays on Wednesday. Mathis, 38, had gone 0-for-9 with five strikeouts in his short time with Atlanta.

  • NYY Center Fielder #35

    Cody Bellinger is back in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Rockies.
    Bellinger is back after sitting out Friday’s series opener in Colorado. The 29-year-old center fielder has been on an absolute tear recently, hitting .361 (22-for-61) with five homers and 13 RBI over his last 15 games.
    Top prospect Clarke to be called up by Athletics
    Following the Atheltics' announcement that they are calling up prized outfield Denzel Clarke, James Schiano discusses what the toolsy prospect with "blazing speed" will bring to the pro level.
  • ATL Catcher #30
    Drake Baldwin is at catcher and batting second on Saturday against the Padres.
    This certainly qualifies as a shakeup. Baldwin has been on fire in recent weeks, hitting .442 (19-for-43) with three homers over his last 15 games, and Atlanta is going to give him a shot hitting behind top-of-the-order igniter Ronald Acuña Jr. and move Austin Riley, who is hitting .233 (14-for-60) with zero homers over his last 15 games, down to the fifth spot in the order. We’ll see if it’s a temporary move or more of a permanent decision in the coming days.
  • WSH Shortstop #13
    Amed Rosario is at third base and batting second on Saturday against the Giants.
    It’s a different look on Saturday for the Nationals as they square off against San Francisco lefty Kyle Harrison. Rosario has been bumped up to the second spot, behind table-setter CJ Abrams to break up the trio of left-handers in Abrams, James Wood and Nathaniel Lowe. Luis García Jr. has been dropped to the seventh spot for this one.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #25
    Rhett Lowder (elbow) has been shut down from throwing after suffering an oblique strain.
    It’s a significant development for the top pitching prospect in Cincinnati’s organization as he was just starting to make his way back from right elbow discomfort that derailed his spring training ramp-up process. The 23-year-old top pitching prospect is going to be shut down for the next few weeks and will have to re-start his throwing program from scratch. It’s unlikely he’ll make it back to the majors until some point in the second half.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #28
    Trevor Rogers will serve as the 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox.
    It’s official. Rogers will presumably take the ball for the nightcap affair on Saturday evening at a rain-soaked Fenway Park. The 27-year-old lefty is not a recommended option for fantasy purposes at the moment since he’s been getting hit hard at the Triple-A level in recent weeks.
  • BAL Shortstop #54
    Orioles selected the contract of INF/OF Terrin Vavra from Triple-A Norfolk.
    Vavra returns to Baltimore’s bench mix ahead of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. The 28-year-old former prospect didn’t appear in the majors last year after getting into 67 games the previous two seasons for the Orioles. His defensive versatility gives him some appeal in a reserve role, but he can be safely ignored for fantasy purposes.
  • BAL Center Fielder #12
    Orioles placed OF Ramón Laureano on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 21, with a left ankle sprain.
    Laureano heads to the injured list for some extra time off after missing a couple games earlier this week due to a left ankle issue. It’s probably the right move since the Orioles don’t want to continue playing with a shortened bench, especially during Saturday’s doubleheader.
  • TEX Shortstop #5
    Corey Seager (hamstring) took live batting practice on Saturday at Rate Field in Chicago.
    Seager is roughly one week away from returning to Texas’ lineup at this juncture, but it’s undoubtedly a positive development that he’s back facing live pitching again. The 31-year-old fantasy stalwart has been on the shelf since May 11 working his way back from a hamstring strain.
  • CIN 2nd Baseman #2
    Gavin Lux is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cubs.
    Lux is back in the Reds’ lineup for the first time in three games as he continues to manage an ongoing back issue. The 27-year-old has avoided a trip to the injured list for now, but might continue to require the occasional maintenance day.
  • CIN Right Fielder #27
    Jake Fraley (calf) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday with Triple-A Louisville.
    Fraley hit the injured list back on May 10 with a left calf issue and will likely need a couple rehab games to get back up to speed before rejoining Cincinnati’s lineup at some point next week. It’ll be interesting to see what role he returns to since Will Benson has blossomed into a full-blown phenomenon in his absence.
