L. Gurriel Jr. - LF

TOR

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Saturday that Lourdes Gurriel will take ground balls at third base during the spring.

Montoyo cautioned that it was more of an emergency thing, that you'll never know when those reps will come in handy. He also said that Gurriel's primary focus in the infield -- and where he's most likely to see significant action -- will be at first base. With so many weapons on offense this season, having someone like Gurriel who can move around the diamond should be extremely beneficial for the Jays. It also wouldn't hurt his fantasy appeal to add first base eligibility.

J. Davis - 3B

Mets activated J.D. Davis from the 10-day injured list.

Davis would up missing only five games, as a result of numerous weather-related postponements, due to a hand injury that he suffered back on April 6. The 27-year-old slugger figures to take over as the team's everyday option at the hot corner moving forward.

Stephen Tarpley will serve as the 27th man for the Mets in Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies at Coors Field.

Tarpley appeared in 12 games for the division-rival Marlins during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. The 28-year-old southpaw owns a 6.65 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 58/29 K/BB ratio across 44 2/3 innings at the big-league level, dating back to 2018.

Lucas Gilbreath will serve as the 27th man for the Rockies in Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Gilbreath will be making his major-league debut if he gets into either contest. The 25-year-old lefty hasn't pitched above High-A in his minor-league career, but was added to the Rockies' 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft during the offseason.

T. Locastro - CF

Tim Locastro exited Saturday's game against the Nationals due to an apparent finger injury.

Locastro was caught stealing for the first time in his big-league career, ending his major league-record setting streak of 29 consecutive steals to open a career, in the third inning. The 28-year-old speedster appeared to injure his finger when he came into contact with the base on the play. There should be an update on his status shortly.

J. Lowrie - 2B

OAK

Jed Lowrie is getting the day off on Saturday when the Athletics square off against the Tigers.

Lowrie will celebrate his 37th birthday with a well-deserved break. Vimael Machin will take over at the keystone in his place. He's looked completely revitalized in Oakland this season, hitting .360/.429/.560 with 10 runs scored, two homers and 12 RBI in 57 plate appearances. As long as his heath continues to cooperate, he should remain a viable mixed-league contributor for fantasy managers.

Garrett Hampson is not in the Rockies' starting lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Sam Hilliard is starting in center field and batting seventh for the Rockies in the opening game of the afternoon twin-billing at snowy Coors Field. He'll likely be back in the starting lineup for the nightcap later this evening.

Bobby Dalbec is not in the Red Sox' starting lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Phillies.

Super utlitiyman Marwin Gonzalez is starting at the cold corner and batting sixth in this one. The 25-year-old all-or-nothing slugger has been on an extended hot streak recently, compiling four hits, including three doubles, over his last four games. He should be back in the lineup to face lefty Dallas Keuchel in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader at Fenway Park.

Bryce Harper is not in the Phillies' starting lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Cardinals.

No explanation has been given yet, so it could just be a routine maintenance day for Harper, especially with left-hander Kwang-Hyun Kim on the mound for the Cardinals. Matt Joyce is starting in right field and batting seventh for the Phillies in his place. The 28-year-old fantasy superstar has been crushing the ball recently, but it hasn't translated into his surface stats. He's hitting .238/.396/.429 with eight runs scored, two homers and six RBI over 53 plate appearances this season.

J. Aguilar - 1B

MIA

Jesus Aguilar is starting at first base and batting third for the Marlins in Saturday's matchup against the Giants.

Aguilar is getting the call over Garrett Cooper at the cold corner to face right-hander Aaron Sanchez. The 30-year-old first baseman has gotten off to a strong start at the dish, slashing .333/.426/.385 with four runs scored and six RBI in 47 plate appearances. He's still searching for his first round-tripper of the 2021 season, but it shouldn't take that much longer, since that's been his calling card over the last few years.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Saturday that Miguel Cabrera (biceps) could be ready to return next weekend.

Cabrera has been taking ground balls and hitting in the cage during the Tigers road trip and will progress to taking full batting practice next week. Barring any setbacks, he could be ready to return when the Tigers square off against the Royals next weekend.

Reds manager David Bell said Saturday that Shogo Akiyama (hamstring) could play in a rehab game at Triple-A Louisville next Saturday.

Akiyama has been sidelined since mid-March due to a hamstring injury and isn't expected to return until May. He may face some increased competition for regular at-bats, given how well Jesse Winker, Tyler Naquin and Nick Senzel have performed in his absence.

C. Bedrosian - RP

CIN

Reds designated RHP Cam Bedrosian for assignment.

Bedrosian fell victim to a roster crunch as the Reds needed to clear a spot for veteran righty Sonny Gray to return to the team's starting rotation. The 29-year-old reliever put together a strong performance in spring training, but has scuffled out of the gate during the regular season. It wouldn't be surprising if he were claimed off waivers in the next few days.
