Tyler Skaggs - S - Angels

Updating an earlier report, Tyler Skaggs (oblique) was scratched from his scheduled rehab start Saturday in the Arizona League.

According to beat reporter Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register, Skaggs is dealing with "general soreness" in his oblique but will continue throwing as "tolerated." The Angels were originally hoping to have Skaggs back around the All-Star break. His latest setback may throw a wrench in that plan.

Marwin Gonzalez - OF - Astros

Marwin Gonzalez (oblique) was scratched from the Astros' lineup Saturday against the Mariners.

He's dealing with right oblique tightness. Yuliesi Gurriel will replace Gonzalez at first base and bat seventh against Mariners starter Sam Gaviglio. Consider Gonzalez day-to-day.

A.J. Pollock - OF - Diamondbacks

A.J. Pollock (groin, quad) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

He hasn't played since tweaking his quad on Monday. According to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, the Diamondbacks are looking to get Pollock 10 at-bats before bringing him up to the big leagues. Barring another setback, Pollock should be back in Arizona by mid-week.

Brandon Kintzler - R - Twins

Brandon Kintzler allowed a double but no runs while recording a save against the Indians on Saturday.

He retired the first two batters of the ninth inning before giving up a double to Francisco Lindor. He was able to induce Jason Kipnis into lining out to end the threat and the game. It was Kintzler's 20th save in 23 chances. He has a 2.78 ERA with 21 strikeouts and seven walks in 32 1/3 innings. His grip on the closer role is rock solid.

Brian Dozier - 2B - Twins

Brian Dozier hit a tie-breaking solo shot in the eighth inning to lead his team to a 4-2 win over the Indians on Saturday.

He went yard off reliever Cody Allen to bust a 2-2 tie. It was his only knock of the game although he did score another run earlier in the contest. Dozier has little chance of repeating his 42-homer outburst from a year ago but he has been a stalwart fantasy second-sacker this year anyway. He has a .254 batting average with 13 homers, 36 runs, 35 RBI and 10 stolen bases.
Jun 24 - 9:36 PM
Joe Mauer - 1B - Twins

Joe Mauer went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored against the Indians on Saturday.

He walked and scored on a throwing error in the first inning. Mauer's days as a stud fantasy catcher are obviously in the rearview mirror and he is barely usable as a first baseman or designated hitter. He has a decent .282/.356/.397 slash line with only four home runs and 29 RBI in 261 plate appearances.
Jun 24 - 9:30 PM
Kyle Gibson - S - Twins

Kyle Gibson gave up one run in 4 2/3 innings but did not earn a decision as his club beat the Indians on Saturday.

He surrendered four hits and four walks while fanning just one batter. He walked two batters in the fifth inning and was pulled for a reliever after having thrown 93 pitches in the short start. The only run he allowed came on a solo homer by third baseman Jose Ramirez in the fourth inning. This will go down as one of his best outings of the season, which isn't saying much considering he has a 6.23 ERA after 13 starts.
Jun 24 - 9:25 PM
Cody Allen - R - Indians

Cody Allen gave up a home run to Brian Dozier in the eighth inning and was charged with a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

Allen was recently removed from his closer role so that he could be used in high-leverage situations earlier in the game while Andrew Miller conserves some innings. Allen was brought in to pitch the eighth inning of a tie game today and served up the longball. He falls to 0-3 with a 2.25 ERA and 37 strikeouts in 28 innings. He has blown only one of his 16 save chances but will seemingly not get many more for at least the next few weeks.
