May 6 - 7:16 PM
Carlos Santana - 1B - Indians

Carlos Santana went 2-for-5 and gave the Indians a ninth-inning lead with a solo homer off Royals' closer Kelvin Herrera on Saturday.

The score was tied 1-1 with two outs in the top of the ninth inning when Santana went deep to provide the winning run. Francisco Lindor followed with another solo shot for insurance. Santana's .217/.314/.358 slash line is weak but his counting stats look better. He has three home runs, 16 runs scored and 17 RBI. He better pick up the pace if he hopes to get anywhere near the 34 home runs he hit last year.
May 6 - 7:15 PM
Kelvin Herrera - R - Royals

Kelvin Herrera gave up two solo home runs in the ninth inning and was charged with a loss to the Indians on Saturday.

He was called upon to preserve a tie game in the top of the ninth inning. Things started out just fine when he retired the first two batters of the frame. But then Carlos Santana and Francisco Lindor swatted back-to-back solo dingers. It was Herrera's first loss of the season. He owns a 3.75 ERA with nine strikeouts in 12 innings.

Jedd Gyorko - 3B - Cardinals

Jedd Gyorko (hand) has been scratched from the Cardinals' lineup Saturday against the Braves.

He's out with a right hand contusion. Gyorko was hoping to play through it, but instead he'll get the night off with Greg Garcia filling in at third base. The 28-year-old is off to a good start with a .346 average and six homers through his first 78 at-bats. Consider him day-to-day.

Lorenzo Cain - OF - Royals

Lorenzo Cain went 2-for-4 and scored the Royals' only run of the game in Saturday's loss to the Indians.

He doubled in the sixth inning and scored on an Eric Hosmer single. He owns a .277 batting average with one home run, 11 runs scored, six RBI and six stolen bases in 120 at-bats. He is a serviceable fourth outfielder in fantasy leagues.
May 6 - 7:03 PM
Chris Owings - SS - Diamondbacks

Chris Owings (illness) has been scratched from the Diamondbacks' lineup Saturday against the Rockies.

Owings is feeling under the weather. He'll be replaced in right field by Gregor Blanco, who will hit in the No. 8 spot against Rockies left-hander Tyler Anderson. Owings should be back in there in a day or two.

Jason Vargas - S - Royals

Jason Vargas came away with a no-decision despite tossing six innings of shutout baseball against the Indians on Saturday.

He left the game with a tight 1-0 lead that was squandered by the bullpen. He gave up four base hits and two walks while fanning six. Vargas has been an extremely nice surprise for his fantasy owners thus far. The 34-year-old missed most of the last two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. His record holds at 4-1 with a 1.19 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 37 2/3 innings. His next start is expected to be on the road versus the Rays on Thursday.
May 6 - 6:57 PM
Chris Young - OF - Red Sox

Chris Young blasted his first two home runs of the season on Saturday as the Red Sox crushed the Twins 11-1.

Young got the scoring started with a solo homer off of Nick Tepesch in what turned out to be an eight-run second inning. He added an additional solo blast in the fifth to increase the Red Sox' advantage to 9-1. Young finished the afternoon 2-for-5 and is now hitting .270/.370/.413 with two homers and seven RBI on the season.
