    • Idle Friday
      Smith is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: Smith was busy in the Red Sox's 14-2 win Thursday, reaching safely on four occasions. He'll get the day off against lefty Garrett Crochet, with Bobby Dalbec filling in at first and batting eighth. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
       
    • Trenton Brooks sits against right-hander
      Trenton Brooks is on the bench against a right-hander in Friday’s game versus the Rangers.

      Advice: Hit a grand slam, you start the next day. That rule applies to Wilmer Flores, so Brooks, who already sat against lefties the last two days, will not get to return to the lineup against a righty tonight. Flores gets the nod even though he’s hitting just .217/.309/.253 against righties this season. Brooks is 1-for-9 with two walks since his callup last week. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
       
    • Out of lineup against lefty
      Gallo is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Gallo started against a lefty earlier this week, but he will begin Friday's game on the bench as Atlanta turns to southpaw Chris Sale as its starting pitcher. Joey Meneses will start at first base for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 12:44 pm

    • Out against right-hander
      Kirilloff is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Pittsburgh.

      Advice: Right-hander Mitch Keller will be toeing the slab for the Pirates, but the left-handed hitting Kirilloff nonetheless finds himself beginning this one on the bench. Trevor Larnach is in left field and Jose Miranda will be the designated hitter for the Twins. Rotowire.com Today, 12:40 pm
       
    • On bench Friday
      Newman is out of the lineup for Friday's game against San Diego.

      Advice: The 30-year-old will yield to Blaze Alexander on Friday despite Newman a six-game hit streak. On the year, Newman is slashing .260/.294/.377 with a 14.8 percent strikeout rate in 155 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:31 pm

    • Expected to join Toronto
      Horwitz is expected to join the Blue Jays in Oakland on Friday prior to the beginning of their series versus the Athletics, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: He will presumably be added to the roster, although it's unclear what the corresponding transaction will be. Horwitz has been on fire of late at Triple-A Buffalo, going 16-for-36 with a pair of home runs. He's also played mostly second base over that stretch, and that could be a path to playing time for him with the big club if the Jays would prefer to use Davis Schneider more in left field.

    • Slugs homer Thursday
      Freeman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 11-7 win over Pittsburgh.

      Advice: Freeman helped Los Angeles' offense get off to a fast start with his three-run blast in the first inning. The long ball extended his modest hitting streak to five games, during which he has slashed .389/.455/.889 with two homers, five RBI, five runs and two steals. Freeman has four home runs over his past 15 contests, matching the amount of homers he hit across his initial 49 games of the campaign. Rotowire.com Today, 10:33 am
       
    • Crushes seventh homer
      Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Orioles.

      Advice: The first baseman opened the scoring by launching a cutter from Cade Povich over the right-field fence in the third inning. Guerrero has gone yard twice in the last four games, giving him seven homers on the year, and over the last 15 contests he's slashing .345/.433/.552. Rotowire.com Today, 6:45 am
       
    • Has positive follow-up exam
      Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) had a follow-up exam with Reds doctors Wednesday, and he was cleared to take the next step in his rehab, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: While that would seem to be good news for Encarnacion-Strand, who was diagnosed with a right ulnar styloid fracture May 8, he opted to get a second opinion, putting his rehab on hold for the moment. At the time of his diagnosis, Encarnacion-Strand was given a four-to-six week recovery timeline. Rotowire.com Today, 4:51 am
