  • Late addition to Friday's lineup
    Stefanic is starting at second base and batting eighth in Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Stefanic was inserted into Friday's lineup after Brandon Drury was scratched due to an illness. Since being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on June 8, Stefanic has played in seven major-league games, going 6-for-22 with four RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 4:58 pm
     
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Biggio isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Biggio has been platooning with righty Enrique Hernandez at third base since being acquired by the Dodgers. With lefty Patrick Sandoval on the mound for the Angels, it will be Hernandez who fills the hot corner Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:13 pm

  • Making first start Friday
    Martinez will start at second base and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Guardians.

    Advice: It will be the first major-league start for Martinez, who was on the bench for each of the first two contests following his promotion. The 22-year-old is one of the better power-hitting prospects in baseball, but he does struggle to make contact and isn't regarded as a great defender. Getting him playing time does not appear to be a priority for the Blue Jays during this stint, but he will have a chance to show what he can do Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:41 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 due to Gabriel Arias tending to personal matters. The 22-year-old Martinez 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
