  • Twins recall Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul
    Twins recalled INF/OF Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul.

  • Brandon Drury (head) remains out of action Friday
    Brandon Drury (migraine) remains out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Guardians.

    Advice: It’s unclear if Drury is sitting again because he’s still dealing with the migraine issue, or if manager Ron Washington simply wanted to go a different direction with right-hander Tanner Bibee on the hill for the Guardians on Friday night. Luis Rengifo will cover second base in his absence while Willie Calhoun functions as the Halos’ designated hitter. Rotoworld Today, 1:38 pm

  • Sidelined again Friday
    Drury (migraine) isn't part of Friday's lineup against the Guardians.

    Advice: Drury was scratched from Wednesday's contest due to a migraine, and while it hasn't been confirmed that it's the injury holding him out of Friday's game, it can be assumed that that's the case. Luis Rengifo will make another start at second with Ehire Adrianza over at third. Rotowire.com Today, 1:37 pm

  • Starting sixth straight game
    Perez is starting in center field and batting third Friday against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Perez has a .333/.400/.694 slash line over his past 10 contests and is starting Friday for the sixth consecutive game. He's seen most of his playing time in right field this season but is making his second straight start in center amid Parker Meadows' offensive struggles. Rotowire.com Today, 1:22 pm
     
  • Starting rehab stint Tuesday
    Lowe (oblique) will start his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reported Friday.

    Advice: Lowe has been sidelined since April 7 with a strained right oblique but will get back to game action Tuesday at Durham. Until he rejoins the big league club, expect Amed Rosario and Curtis Mead to continue seeing most of the action at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 1:18 pm
     
  • Sitting against lefty
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Biggio is sitting out for a second consecutive contest, moving to the bench with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the mound for Washington. Instead, Isiah Kiner-Falefa will slide to second base while Ernie Clement mans the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 12:54 pm

  • Back in lineup
    Paredes (arm) is the designated hitter and batting second for Friday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Paredes got the day off Wednesday with some soreness in his arm and body but returns to the Rays lineup in a non-defensive capacity. Considering Friday kicks off a stretch of 19 games in the next 20 days, Paredes' soreness should be monitored but isn't something to be concerned about at the moment. Rotowire.com Today, 12:06 pm

  • Takes seat Friday
    Ortiz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: It's the second straight game on the bench for Ortiz after making five consecutive starts, and he went 5-for-15 with five walks, three doubles, a homer and five RBI during that stretch. Oliver Dunn will receive another start at the hot corner Friday in Chicago. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 am

  • Logs three hits, two steals in win
    Altuve went 3-for-5 with a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in an 8-2 victory versus Cleveland on Thursday.

    Advice: Altuve continued his recent stretch of hot hitting, notching his third multi-hit effort over his past four contests. The veteran second baseman added a pair of thefts Thursday, and he's now swiped six bags over his past 15 games after failing to record a steal across his initial 16 contests of the campaign. Altuve ranks seventh among qualified hitters with a .352 average on the season and is tied for second with 45 hits. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:27 pm
