  • Held out again Friday
    Nimmo (illness) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest in Miami.

    Advice: Nimmo was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to a stomach bug and he's evidently still not feeling well enough to play. With Nimmo resting, the Mets will go with Tyrone Taylor in left field and in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 12:52 pm
     
  • Acuna Jr. back in the lineup on Friday
    Ronald Acuna Jr. is back in the lineup, batting first for the Braves against the Padres on Friday.

    Advice: Acuna Jr. received the day off on Wednesday as the Braves look for him to break out of his slump. He went 0-for-5 at the plate on Tuesday, which dropped his average to .245 on the season. Acuna Jr.'s .696 OPS is the lowest of his career. Hopefully the short break helps him get on track. Rotoworld Today, 12:46 pm
     
  • Young on the bench Friday
    Jacob Young is on the bench for the Nationals against the Phillies on Friday.

    Advice: Young was in the leadoff spot when the Nationals last played on Wednesday. He’s hitting .262 with no home runs this year, but he also has 14 stolen bases in 34 games. Rotoworld Today, 12:36 pm
     
  • Carroll returns to the lineup on Friday
    Corbin Carroll is back in the Diamondbacks lineup, batting second against the Tigers on Friday.

    Advice: Carroll came off the bench and pinch ran and scored a run on Wednesday. Fantasy managers have to be frustrated with Carroll’s production so far this season as he’s hitting just .193 with a .539 OPS. Only seven qualified hitters have a lower batting average entering play Friday. It’s not what you want from a first round pick. Rotoworld Today, 12:25 pm
     
  • Starting as designated hitter
    Santander (knee) is in the starting lineup as the designated hitter for Friday's matchup against the Mariners.

    Advice: Santander hurt his knee in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays after first colliding with the outfield wall and then hitting it again during a slide, which led to his exit from the game. The veteran outfielder will be eased back into the lineup at designated hitter while Ryan O'Hearn mans right field. Rotowire.com Today, 12:25 pm
     
  • Idle against southpaw
    McCarthy is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting McCarthy will give way to Randal Grichuk in right field Friday as Detroit trots out the left-handed Tarik Skubal. McCarthy is 2-for-15 (.133) at the plate since May 5. Rotowire.com Today, 12:20 pm
     
  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Young is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

    Advice: Young had started eight of the last nine contests, including six of them from the leadoff spot. He'll get a breather Friday, though, as Victor Robles patrols center field for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 12:16 pm
     
  • Brandon Nimmo scratched from Thursday’s lineup
    Brandon Nimmo has been scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s showdown against the Phillies due to illness.

    Advice: Nimmo is dealing with a stomach bug, which will keep him out for at least Thursday’s contest. It’ll be Tyrone Taylor moving up to the leadoff spot and DJ Stewart taking over in left field. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:28 pm
     
  • Scratched from lineup
    Nimmo was scratched from the Mets' lineup prior to Thursday's game against the Phillies due to a stomach illness, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Nimmo wasn't feeling well heading into Thursday's contest, so the Mets will give him the day off to recover. In the meantime, DJ Stewart will take Nimmo's place in left field and bat fifth, moving Tyrone Taylor into the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:22 pm
