  • Still out Friday
    Kelenic (wrist) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic will miss a second straight game after injuring his wrist on a diving catch Wednesday. All indications point to the injury being minor, so he should be back in the lineup soon. In the meantime, Adam Duvall will play left field and J.P. Martinez will step into right. Rotowire.com Today, 12:39 pm
     
  • Pulled off rehab assignment
    Williamson has been pulled off his rehab assignment due to continued issues with his left shoulder, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Williamson threw four shutout innings, allowed just one hit and showed good velocity in his last rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. However, there's evidently renewed concern for left shoulder strain which has kept him sidelined all season. Consider him out indefinitely. Rotowire.com Today, 11:20 am
     
  • Out with knee injury
    Uribe was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Nashville on Friday due to a knee issue, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The specifics of the injury are unclear, and Uribe is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday. The 23-year-old picked up three saves early in the season for the Brewers, but he was demoted in early May with a 6.91 ERA and 14:12 K:BB over 14 outings. Uribe was also suspended six games for his role in a benches-clearing brawling just before being demoted, though the ban was reduced to four games on appeal, per Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The right-hander will have to serve that suspension once back on the major-league roster, but the current focus is getting him healthy. Rotowire.com Today, 8:18 am
     
  • Pops three-run homer
    Valdez went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run and a walk in Thursday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Valdez turned the game into a romp with his fourth-inning blast. He's hit safely in his last five contests, going 7-for-20 (.350) with three homers and eight RBI in that span. The 25-year-old is slashing just .189/.218/.378 through 120 plate appearances, but he's added five homers, 19 RBI and 13 runs scored across 35 contests. Valdez remains in a starting role at second base while Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) is on the injured list. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:07 pm
     
  • Jarred Kelenic out Thursday due to wrist issue
    Jarred Kelenic (wrist) is absent from the lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic jammed his right wrist making a diving catch during the ninth inning of Wednesday’s showdown at Fenway Park and will sit out Thursday’s series opener against the Nationals for some extra rest. The 24-year-old corner outfielder underwent precautionary X-rays that came back negative for any fractures, so he’s unlikely to wind up missing more than a handful of games. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:41 pm
     
  • In line to start Saturday
    Munoz is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Saturday versus the Guardians, Nate Karzmer of Fishon First.com reports.

    Advice: The Marlins have an opening in their rotation with No. 5 starter Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) recently going on the injured list. Munoz has collected a 5.17 ERA and 19:7 K:BB over 15.2 innings covering three starts with the Marlins this season. He was roughed up for seven runs (six earned) in 6.1 innings in his most recent start for Jacksonville against Durham on June 1, but Munoz blanked Gwinnett over eight innings in his start before that back on May 26.

  • Held out Thursday
    Kelenic (wrist) isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic made an early exit from Wednesday's contest after injuring his right wrist on a diving catch in the sixth inning. Initial X-rays came back clean immediately after the game, but Atlanta will err on the side of caution and keep him out for Thursday's series opener. Adam Duvall, Michael Harris and Brian Anderson will start across the outfield with Kelenic out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:39 pm
     
  • On bench with lefty starting
    Raley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Raley will join fellow lefty-hitting regulars Dominic Canzone and Josh Rojas on the bench while the Athletics send southpaw JP Sears to the bump. Victor Robles will open the game in Raley's usual spot in left field in what will be the former's first start with the Mariners since he signed with the team Tuesday after being released by the Nationals.

  • Kyle Bradish won’t make scheduled start on Friday
    Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that the entire rotation for the upcoming series against the Rays is “TBD,” meaning Kyle Bradish will have his start pushed back.

    Advice: Hyde was quick to say that “there are no health concerns for Kyle Bradish,” but the decision was “just about giving him extra rest.” The right-hander was hit hard in his last start against the Rays last week but has a strong 3.18 ERA in 28 1/3 innings since coming back from an elbow injury. There is no word yet on when Bradish will pitch, but if the Orioles decide to have him skip the entire series then he would face the Braves next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:13 am
