    • Remaining out of lineup
      Fraley (calf) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: With no MRI results reported yet for Fraley, he'll remain out of the lineup as Cincinnati opens up its series against St. Louis. Santiago Espinal will again start at designated hitter and bat sixth. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago

    • Jake Fraley (calf) remains out of Reds’ lineup
      Jake Fraley (calf) remains out of the Reds’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Cardinals.

      Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder was held out of Thursday’s lineup due to a calf injury. He underwent an MRI exam to determine the severity of the issue, the results of which are not yet known. It’s at least encouraging to hear that he hasn’t been placed on the injured list — at least as of now. The Reds will trot out an outfield of Nick Martini, Will Benson and Stuart Fairchild on Friday evening. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago

    • Departs 40-man roster
      The Reds designated Burdick for assignment Friday.

      Advice: Burdick was claimed off waivers by Cincinnati on April 24 but was never called up to the big-league roster. He slashed .180/.279/.327 across 172 plate appearances with Triple-A Louisville and will likely remain in the Reds' organization if he clears waivers. Austin Wynns will take Burdick's spot on the 40-man roster. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
       
    • Bryce Johnson starts against right-hander Friday
      Bryce Johnson will start in right field and bat ninth for the Padres on Friday night against the Red Sox in Boston.

      Advice: It’s notable because there’s a right-hander on the mound for the Red Sox on Friday night. The 28-year-old outfielder had started each of the first three games since he was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Monday — but all of them were against southpaws. This could be an indication that the speedster is now an everyday starter for the Padres which would make him an interesting option in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
       
    • Reds designate OF Peyton Burdick for assignment
      Reds designated OF Peyton Burdick for assignment.

      Advice: Burdick was hitting just .190/.298/.361 in 43 games for Triple-A Louisville after opening the season with the Orioles’ Triple-A affiliate and hitting .182/.333/.455 there. He still has impressive power, but it doesn’t look like it’ll ever make up for his contact issues. Rotoworld 56 minutes ago
       
    • Idle Friday
      Gordon is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Philadelphia.

      Advice: Gordon will get a breather Friday after making six straight starts, collecting a hit in each contest. Bryan De La Cruz will play left field and lead off against the Phillies. Rotowire.com Today, 12:28 pm

    • Eddie Rosario returns to Nationals lineup Friday
      Eddie Rosario is back in the Nationals’ starting lineup as the DH and No. 5 hitter on Friday.

      Advice: Rosario sat against a righty on Wednesday, and with the announcement that fellow left-handed hitter James Wood is coming up Monday, Rosario seems like the obvious choice to get bumped from the Nationals roster. Until that’s official, though, it looks like he’ll get a chance to show he’s worth keeping around. Rosario has a dreadful .181/.226/.330 line this season, but it actually comes with the best hard-hit rate of his career at 45.5%. His average exit velocity of 90.6 mph is 2.5 mph better than his career mark. Rotoworld Today, 12:28 pm
       
    • Taking seat Friday
      Chisholm is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: Chisholm had made seven consecutive starts, so Friday's absence can be chalked up to a rest day for the center fielder. Bryan De La Cruz, Vidal Brujan and Dane Myers fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com Today, 12:26 pm
       
    • Sitting against lefty
      Sanchez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Philadelphia.

      Advice: Left-hander Cristopher Sanchez is toeing the slab for the Phillies, so the lefty-hitting Sanchez will take a seat. Dane Myers will patrol right field for the Marlins. Rotowire.com Today, 12:26 pm
