  • Nico Hoerner collects two hits in win over Marlins
    Nico Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles and an RBI as the Cubs triumphed over the Marlins on Friday afternoon.

    Advice: Hoerner led off the home half of the first inning with a double off of A.J. Puk and scored the game’s first run on an RBI single off the bat of Cody Bellinger. He then plated a run of his own with a two-out RBI double off of Puk in the second inning. With his two-hit attack, Hoerner is now hitting .258/.382/.355 on the season, though he has still yet to hit a hom run or steal a base. Rotoworld Today, 4:59 pm

  • Back in lineup Friday
    Cronenworth (calf) is starting at first base and hitting third in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Cronenworth left Monday's game against the Brewers after experiencing calf tightness. He sat out for the Padres' last two games, and the team's day off Thursday has given the 30-year-old enough time to heal up. Cronenworth is slashing .254/.333/.465 with three home runs and 14 RBI over 81 plate appearances to start the season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm
     
  • Resting against lefty
    Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The Dodgers will face left-hander Sean Manaea on Friday, meaning the left-handed bat of Lux will begin the game in the dugout. Enrique Hernandez will fill in at second base and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm

  • Jake Cronenworth returns to Padres lineup Friday
    Jake Cronenworth (leg) returned to the Padres’ starting lineup on Friday.

    Advice: The 30-year-old infielder sat out each of the team’s previous two games due to soreness in his right leg, but it appears to have been only a minor issue. He’s right back in there at first base and will bat third against Yariel Rodriguez and the Blue Jays on Friday evening. Rotoworld Today, 3:18 pm
     
  • DFA'd by Arizona
    The Diamondbacks designated Peterson for assignment Friday.

    Advice: Peterson was unable to make the most of his opportunities after shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) was placed on the 10-day IL on April 7. Peterson hasn't recorded a hit since April 5, and he has reached base just four times over 26 plate appearances this season. In a corresponding move, the Diamondbacks recalled Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno. Rotowire.com Today, 2:58 pm
     
  • Diamondbacks DFA veteran Jace Peterson on Friday
    Diamondbacks designated INF Jace Peterson for assignment.

    Advice: With Pavin Smith and Jordan Montgomery joining the big league roster on Friday, someone needed to get the boot from the active roster and unfortunately Peterson drew the short straw this time around. The versatile 33-year-old was just 1-for-22 (.045) with six strikeouts in his time with the Diamondbacks. Rotoworld Today, 2:44 pm
     
  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Ortiz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: It's the second straight game on the bench for Ortiz, who started the previous three contests. Oliver Dunn will step in at third base for Milwaukee as the pair continue to split playing time at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 2:44 pm
     
  • Heads to bench Friday
    Stott is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Sott has a .618 OPS through 19 games this season and will take a seat Friday as lefty Garrett Crochet starts for Chicago. Edmundo Sosa will handle the keystone and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:38 pm

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    Monasterio was recalled from Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Friday.

    Advice: Monasterio was hitless in seven at-bats earlier this season with the Brewers and went 5-for-12 during his time at Nashville. He will provide Milwaukee with infield depth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:39 pm
