  • Ketel Marte absent from Diamondbacks lineup Friday
    Ketel Marte is absent from the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Phillies in Philadelphia.

    Advice: It appears to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the hard-hitting second baseman. Blaze Alexander will draw a rare start at second base in his place and will bat eighth for the Diamondbacks against Taijuan Walker and the Phillies on Friday evening in Philadelphia.

  • Bryson Stott sits against southpaw on Friday night
    Bryson Stott is not in the Phillies’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: With left-hander Jordan Montgomery toeing the slab for the Diamondbacks, the Phillies will use it as an opportunity to give Stott a breather. Fellow left-handed hitters Brandon Marsh, David Dahl and Garrett Stubbs also find themselves on the pine for the start of this one. Edmundo Sosa will start in Stott’s place at second base and will bat sixth for the Phillies on Friday night. Rotoworld Today, 1:02 pm

  • Out of Friday's lineup
    Amador (oblique) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Amador had to be pulled from Thursday's game against the Dodgers with a mild oblique issue. It seems at this point to be more of a day-to-day situation, but between the injury, his slow start and Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) due back soon, Amador looks like an easy drop in most redraft leagues.

    Advice: Torres exited Thursday's game with right groin soreness and will get the night off Friday to recover. Oswaldo Cabrera will bat ninth and play second base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:38 pm

  • On bench against left-hander
    Hamilton is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Cincinnati.

    Advice: The left-handed hitting Hamilton has been an everyday guy lately for the Red Sox, but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Reds send southpaw Andrew Abbott to the bump. Hamilton has also dealt with a side issue this week, so the team could be exercising caution here. Romy Gonzalez will handle shortstop Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:33 pm

  • Set for first MLB stint
    The Guardians recalled Martinez from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

    Advice: Martinez will get his first taste of big-league action, stepping onto the 26-man roster with Gabriel Arias tending to personal matters. The 22-year-old slashed .333/.438/.550 with three homers and a 12.1 percent K rate in 17 games at Columbus. He's likely to provide depth at shortstop, second base and third base while up with the Guardians. Rotowire.com Today, 11:57 am
