Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (elbow) is sitting out Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves but will avoid a stint on the injured list, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. The 34-year-old left Friday's game early after getting hit by a pitch in his elbow, but with the recent news, this injury does not seem too significant. As a result, Brandon Drury will cover the hot corner on Saturday and bat in the six-hole. Since returning to game action on August 7, Rendon has held a solid .280 AVG. Across his past seven games, Drury has posted a modest .238 AVG but has reached safely in every game. DFS players should fade Drury and most of the Angels lineup this evening as they will face Atlanta southpaw Chris Sale, who sits with a 2.61 ERA and 0.98 WHIP and is a favorite to win the NL Cy Young.

Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryan Pressly (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday, retroactive to August 14 with a low back strain. In a corresponding move, the Astros recalled right-handed pitcher Seth Martinez. The 35-year-old has struggled over his previous four outings with a 9.00 ERA and a 2.25 WHIP, which could suggest he was dealing with some discomfort for a few days. Prior to this stretch, from June 1 to August 2, the right-hander posted a stellar 1.69 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. While he has typically served as the ninth-inning option in Space City throughout his career, this summer, he has transitioned to a set-up for Josh Hader. While he has struggled at times, he currently sits with 21 holds, which places him near the top of most relievers. Fantasy managers should expect Bryan Abreu to serve as the eighth-inning option going forward and could earn the occasional save when Hader has the day off.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day IL on Saturday evening with right elbow soreness. The Reds plan on recalling a player from Triple-A sometime tomorrow. The right-hander expressed some pain in his throwing elbow following his previous start on Tuesday and will now sit out for at least the next two weeks. Since the start of July, the hard thrower has been one of the best pitchers in the sport, boasting an incredible 0.98 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, and a 12:53 BB:K ratio across 46 frames. Overall, through 143 1/3 innings of work, the Notre Dame product sits with a 2.83 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP and is on pace to have the best season of his major league career. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to who is called upon to fill the open spot in the rotation going forward.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri will take a seat again on Saturday afternoon as the Rays continue a three-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is the third time in the past four games that the 29-year-old has been kept out of the starting nine. Since the start of August, Siri has carried a .188/.257/.219 line with no home runs and just two stolen bases, As a result, Jonny DeLuca will get the starting nod at center field this afternoon and will bat in the seven-hole. Overall, Siri has showcased his upside for power and speed but has never been able to show it on a consistent basis. While DeLuca holds an underwhelming .171 AVG this month, he has begun to be a regular in the Tampa starting nine. He is best to fade this afternoon in DFS as he will face Arizona ace, Zac Gallen.
