    • Jason Foley closes out White Sox on Friday night
      Jason Foley recorded the final four outs against the White Sox on Friday night, protecting a one-run advantage to earn his 13th save of the season.

      Advice: Foley came on with the tying run on base with two outs in the eighth inning and got Andrew Vaughn to ground out to second base. He then returned for the ninth where he plunked Paul DeJong with one out in the inning to bring the go-ahead run to the plate again. Andrew Benintendi then lined out to center field and DeJong forgot how many outs there were, easily getting doubled off of first base to end the ballgame. On the season, Foley now sports a 2.67 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 22/9 K/BB ratio (26 1/3 innings) to go along with 13 saves in 15 opportunities. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
       
    • Will Smith absent from Dodgers lineup on Friday
      Will Smith is absent from the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Friday night’s opener of their two-game Freeway Series against the Angels in Los Angeles.

      Advice: It’s a bit surprising to see the 29-year-old slugger sitting against a left-hander, but there hasn’t been any word yet about Smith dealing with any sort of injury. He did start three of the four games against the Rockies in Colorado, so perhaps it’s just a day of rest. Austin Barnes will do the catching for the Dodgers on Friday night and will bat ninth against Patrick Sandoval and the Angels. Rotoworld Today, 3:37 pm
       
    • CJ Abrams (wrist) returns to Nationals’ lineup
      CJ Abrams (wrist) returned to the Nationals’ starting lineup on Friday night.

      Advice: The 23-year-old shortstop had missed the team’s previous two games due to a Ganglion cyst near his left wrist. He feels good enough to give it a go on Friday night though and will return to his customary leadoff spot in the lineup against Dakota Hudson and the Rockies at Coors Field on Friday evening.

    • Riding pine Friday
      Smith is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: Smith has caught four of the Dodgers' last five games and will give way to Austin Barnes behind the plate Friday. Smith has just two hits in his last 23 at-bats; however, the hits were a two-RBI triple and a solo homer. Rotowire.com Today, 3:09 pm
       
    • Says he's good to go
      Abrams (wrist) said that he's "good to go" for Friday's game against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports

      Advice: Abrams was scratched from Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks and missed Thursday's game before an MRI revealed he was dealing with a cyst in his left wrist. However, he'll be back in action for Friday's matchup with the Rockies. Rotowire.com Today, 3:05 pm
       
    • Returning to Arlington
      Jung (wrist) was pulled from his rehab assignment Friday to be evaluated in Arlington before the Rangers decide whether or not to activate him this weekend, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Jung went 4-for-17 in four rehab games with Triple-A Round Rock and could be cleared to rejoin the Rangers' active roster this weekend. The third baseman hasn't played since fracturing his wrist on April 1 and was initially expected to receive roughly 30 at-bats in the minor leagues before being reinstated. Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran have been handling most of the third base work during Jung's absence. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm

    • MRI comes back clean
      Torres (groin) was deemed day-to-day after his MRI came back clean Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: Torres was lifted from Thursday's game precautionarily due to right groin discomfort and an MRI confirmed that the injury isn't any thing serious. Still, Torres may need a day or two for recovery, which could open up more work for Oswaldo Cabrera and Jahmai Jones. Rotowire.com Today, 1:33 pm
       
    • Gleyber Torres (groin) held out of lineup Friday
      Gleyber Torres (groin) was held out of the Yankees’ starting lineup for Friday’s tilt against the Braves.

      Advice: The 27-year-old infielder made an early exit on Thursday due to tightness in his groin. While it’s considered a minor issue and isn’t likely to land him on the injured list, he’s going to need at least a couple of days before he’s ready to return to action. Oswaldo Cabrera will cover second base in his absence on Friday night and will bat ninth against Chris Sale and the Braves. Rotoworld Today, 1:08 pm

      Advice: Torres exited Thursday's game with right groin soreness and will get the night off Friday to recover. Oswaldo Cabrera will bat ninth and play second base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:38 pm
