Robinson Cano went hitless (0-for-4) Saturday in Seattle's win
against the Mets. He struck out once and stranded one base runner.
Fantasy Impact: Cano has struggled in July with the
bat and with the glove. In the 29 games he has played this month, he is
18-for-90 (.200 AVG) with only seven extra-base hits (two doubles and
three home runs), while committing five errors. With an unusually low
BABIP (.262) and good contact rate, look for the veteran second-baseman
to turn things around soon.

Yovani Gallardo earns fifth win of season against the Mets
Yovani Gallardo allowed one run on five hits and two walks while
striking out two through 5.2 innings Saturday to earn his fifth win of
the season against New York.
Fantasy Impact: Gallardo (5-7) making his second start since being reinserted from the bullpen into the starting rotation, danced in and out of trouble, leaving a couple of base runners in the fifth and sixth innings before being pulled in favor of reliever Tony Zych. His 5.34 ERA and 1.47 WHIP make him a risky play in fantasy lineups. Gallardo's next start is scheduled for Thursday against the Royals

Aaron Altherr is in starting lineup
Aaron Altherr is in the starting lineup batting second for Saturday's game against the Braves.
Fantasy implications: Altherr was slashing .370/.452/.704 in 10 July games prior to landing on the 10-day DL with a strained hamstring. After being activated on July 26, the right-fielder has continued to yield a hot bat going 4-for-8 with two home runs, two RBIs and one walk in two games. He should see more playing time now that Howie Kendrick was traded to the Washington.
