Player News
Red Sox SS prospect Marcelo Mayer is not in Saturday’s lineup for Triple-A Worcester.
Mayer, who went 2-for-4 with his ninth home run of the season on Friday night, is out of the lineup for precautionary reasons, according to Triple-A manager Chad Tracey, in case he’s needed in Boston at some point this weekend with veteran Alex Bregman potentially hitting the injured list with a quad issue. The 22-year-old top prospect is worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues, even if he doesn’t possess stratospheric offensive upside.
Matt Shaw is at third base and batting ninth on Saturday for the fifth consecutive contest.
Shaw has collected at least one hit in three of the four games he’s started since returning to the majors earlier this week. The Cubs are going to let him continue to figure things out towards the bottom of the order for now. It’s an encouraging development that he’s looking a bit more comfortable at the dish in his second go-around in the big leagues.
Marcus Semien is batting ninth on Saturday for the second consecutive game against the White Sox.
Semien has been mired in one of the worst prolonged stretches of his entire career, hitting .177/.267/.232 with three homers and two steals through 51 games this season. There are no easy answers here since virtually every underlying metric suggests he’s not close to turning things around and he’s striking out at a career-worst 22.3 percent clip. It’s possible his days as a fantasy-relevant contributor are over especially since he’ll turn 35 years old in September.
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.
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.
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.
