  • 32-15-3 2nd Place
    • Progressing through injury
      Phillips (hamstring) was out on the field playing catch Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

      Advice: Phillips was placed on the 15-day IL on Sunday due to a Grade 1 right hamstring strain he sustained May 3 against Atlanta. He is eligible to return May 19, and the right-hander might only miss the minimum. Phillips has eight saves with a 0.66 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB over 13.2 innings this season.

    • Max Kepler takes a seat against left-hander Friday
      Max Kepler is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s contest against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Kepler will get a rare night off with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi toeing the slab for the Blue Jays. Kepler has been on fire at the plate since returning from the injured list, slashing .434/.492/.755 with three homers, 14 RBI and a stolen base in 16 games. Expect him to come off the bench on Friday night, then he gets to mash against a pair of right-handers over the remainder of the weekend. Rotoworld Today, 2:44 pm
       
    • Wilyer Abreu sits against southpaw on Friday
      Wilyer Abreu is not in the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Friday night’s tilt against the Nationals.

      Advice: While Abreu did draw a start against a left-hander on Thursday, he’s not in the lineup for a matchup against Patrick Corbin and the Nationals on Friday evening. Rob Refsnyder will start as the team’s designated hitter on Friday night and will bat second for the Red Sox. Rotoworld Today, 2:22 pm
       
    • Playing catch
      Rodriguez (back) was playing catch out to 90 feet Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: Rodriguez seems to be progressing well after being placed on the 15-day IL with thoracic spine inflammation on April 30. While he'll be eligible to return May 14, it seems as though Rodriguez will need more time before being reinstated. Rotowire.com Today, 1:56 pm
       
    • Not starting against lefty
      Kepler is not listed as a starter for Friday's matchup against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: The southpaw batter will get a break as Minnesota takes on left-handed starter Yusei Kikuchi. Righty outfielder Manuel Margot will start at right field and bat fifth in place of Kepler. Rotowire.com Today, 1:48 pm
       
    • Josh Naylor batting cleanup for Guardians Friday
      Josh Naylor will hit in his normal cleanup spot for Friday night’s showdown against the White Sox.

      Advice: He’s getting a partial day off as he’ll function as the team’s designated hitter on Friday night against tough left-hander Garrett Crochet. David Fry will start at first base in his place and bat second for the Guardians, pushing Kyle Manzardo to the bench. Rotoworld Today, 1:44 pm
       
    • On bench Friday
      Stott is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Miami.

      Advice: Stott will defer to Whit Merrifield at second base with a lefty (Trevor Rogers) on the mound for Miami. Stott is slashing .250/.344/.389 through 128 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 12:59 pm
       
    • Not starting against Nats
      Abreu is not in the starting lineup for Friday's outing against Washington, FantasyLabs MLB reports.

      Advice: The rookie outfielder will start from the dugout as Boston takes on left-hander Patrick Corbin. Abreu is slashing .276/.368/.439 with 13 RBI and five stolen bases on the year. Tyler O'Neill will move from his normal left field spot to fill in for Abreu in right. Rotowire.com Today, 12:45 pm
       
    • Clubs 10th homer
      Naylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.

      Advice: Naylor has homered three times over his last eight games and now has 10 long balls on the year. The first baseman is batting .259 (7-for-27) with a 5:4 BB:K through eight contests in May. His career high in homers is 20 from the 2022 campaign, but he's on pace to shatter that mark in 2024. He's slashing .277/.364/.562 with 29 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases over 36 games this season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:50 am
