Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jake Irvin (undisclosed) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's start against the Atlanta Braves. This is a shame because Irvin was dealing before making his exit from the contest. He took the mound to warm up for the sixth inning, but didn't look right and eventually exited with the trainer. Before that, Irvin tossed five hitless innings, allowing one walk while striking out seven batters. The Nationals should give an update on his status following Saturday's contest. This was Irvin's second straight strong outing, so hopefully he won't be forced to miss time from this injury.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (back) is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mitchell made an early exit from Wednesday's game due to back tightness. He hasn't been back in the lineup since then, so fantasy managers might start getting anxious. He's still considered day-to-day, so fantasy managers should check back for another update on Sunday. Jake Bauers will cover left field and bat sixth versus right-hander Roki Sasaki on Saturday. Mitchell remains strictly a deep league option at the moment.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day Injured List on Saturday. He was removed from Friday's game due to hamstring tightness and now heads to the shelf with a left hamstring strain. The exact timetable for his return is unknown, but hamstring issues do have a tendency to linger. Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa are the favorites to see increased playing time while Gurriel is sidelined. In a corresponding move, infielder Tommy Troy has been called up from Triple-A Reno. Troy could be someone worth keeping an eye on in deep leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Tommy Troy is receiving the call to the big leagues. The 24-year-old has reportedly been called up after a strong showing in the minor leagues. Through 44 games, Troy was slashing .307/.397/.449 with three home runs and 28 RBI with Triple-A Reno this season. This is a well-deserved call-up after Troy put together strong numbers at Double-A and Triple-A last season as well. Troy is a player who can do a little bit of everything at the plate. He has 15-homer power with enough speed to steal around 20 bases and isn't afraid to draw a walk as well. He's certainly worth a look in deep leagues, assuming he's going to get regular playing time in Arizona.
