McNeil will be on the bench Saturday against Washington.

McNeil sits after making nine straight starts, a stretch in which he hit .289 with a .799 OPS. Jack Reinheimer will play second base in his absence.

Eaton (knee) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Mets.

Eaton finds himself on the bench for the fifth time in six games. That's partially related to his aching left knee but also due to the Nationals wanting to get an extended look at Victor Robles down the stretch. Robles starts in center again Saturday, bumping Bryce Harper to right field.

Nunez is not in the lineup Saturday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Nunez has hit a solid .304 with three homers in his last 14 games. Steve Wilkerson will get the call at third base Saturday.

Wynns is not starting Saturday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Wynns hits the bench after starting three of the last four games. Caleb Joseph gets the call behind the plate.

Beckham is not starting Saturday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Beckham hits the bench for the second time in the last four games. Jonathan Villar will slide over to shortstop in his absence, with Breyic Valera starting at second base.

Kiermaier is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Kiermaier will be the one to make way as Austin Meadows starts for the Rays for the first time. Meadows will be in right field, pushing Mallex Smith over to center.

Butler's representatives have made the Timberwolves aware he will not be available for on-court activities once training camp commences, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic

The situation in Minnesota appears extra messy at the moment following news that Butler requested a trade earlier in the week. It was originally speculated that he may not report to camp, but this is the first official word. There is speculation that head coach Tom Thibodeau does not want to trade the star wing, but owner Glen Taylor is in favor of the move. It is unclear how long this saga will drag out, but all we know for sure is that Butler will not participate in camp once it kicks off.

Asik is dealing with inflammatory arthritis, and will be sidelined indefinitely.

Asik is coming off his roughest season as a pro, as he played in just 18 games and produced career lows across the board. He is set to make about $23 million through the 2019/20 season, which makes him very difficult to trade. Thus, the Bulls will have to wait for him to work his way back to basketball activities, which there is no clear timetable for.

Bogdanovic will undergo a minor knee surgery Monday and does not have a timetable for a return, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports. He suffered the injury playing for the Serbian national team last Monday.

Bogdanovic underwent a knee surgery in late April, which had a scheduled recovery time of 8-10 weeks. Shortly after getting healthy, he appears to have re-aggravated the issue. It's reportedly minor, but the news isn't encouraging less than a week away from the beginning of training camp. A timetable for a return may be established following the procedure. For now, he should be considered questionable for the preseason at best.

Butler may not report to training camp next week if he's not traded, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

News arrived earlier in the week that Butler has requested a trade. While the Timberwolves may be hesitant to move on from him quickly, Butler appears to be forcing his hand by possibly not coming to camp. Unless Minnesota hangs onto him for an extended period, the decision shouldn't affect his fantasy value.

Wilcox suffered a torn right Achilles during an offseason workout and will miss the entire 2018-19 regular season.

Wilcox was inked to a two-way deal in early August after being a member of the Blazers last season. He spent most of his time in the G-League, where he averaged 10.4 points on 45.1 percent shooting. Wilcox will spend this season focusing on recovery with the hopes of playing during the 2019-20 campaign.

Johnson signed a training camp deal with the Pacers on Friday.

Johnson played 75 total minutes for the Grizzlies last season. He totaled 22 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals. If he doesn't make the Pacers' final roster, Johnson will probably spend time in the G-League.

Murray will start Saturday's preseason contest against Columbus and play the entire game, the Penguins' official site reports.

The confirmation from coach Mike Sullivan that Murray will play the whole game is huge for DFS players, as many teams have been making life difficult by splitting games between multiple netminders. This will be Murray's first game action since being eliminated by the Capitals in last season's playoffs.

Point will start Saturday's contest against the Panthers, Mark Stepneski of NHL.com reports.

Point will look to build off Thursday's successful professional debut, in which he stopped 12 of 13 shots.

Jones will start Saturday's preseason contest against the Golden Knights, Curtis Pashelka of mercurynews.com reports.

The Sharks aren't pulling any punches in this exhibition against the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last season, as pretty much all of San Jose's regulars are expected to dress. Jones was up and down in last year's playoff series against Vegas, recording a Game 4 shutout but also allowing four or more goals in three of six games.

Tkachuk (lower body) will be in the lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Canucks, TSN's Jermain Franklin reports.

Tkachuk missed Wednesday's matchup with the Bruins due to a lower-body injury, but he was never expected to be held out long term. The 20-year-old winger racked up 24 goals and 49 points in 68 games last season, and should be a fantastic secondary option in fantasy leagues this campaign.

Hill is expected to start Saturday's game against the Ducks, Dave Vest of the Coyotes' official site reports.

Antti Raanta will also dress for this contest, but Hill should do most of the heavy lifting here. The 2015 third-rounder is expected to go for more seasoning at AHL Tuscon this season with Raanta and Darcy Kuemper on hand at the NHL level.

Gillies is the projected starter for Saturday's preseason matchup with the Canucks, TSN's Jermain Franklinreports.

Gillies wasn't great in limited action last season, compiling a 3-5-1 record while posting a sub-par 2.88 GAA and .896 save percentage in 11 appearances. The 24-year-old netminder will likely split time between the AHL and NHL in 2018-19.
