• Out of starting lineup versus lefty

The 22-year-old first baseman has started in six of Oakland's last eight games, though J.D. Davis will take the field in place of Soderstrom and bat sixth against Kansas City.

    Advice: Abrams was out of the lineup when the Nationals faced Garrett Crochet and the White Sox on Wednesday. It was a mostly routine day off with a tough matchup for the lefty.

  • Carroll returns to the lineup on Friday
    Corbin Carroll is back in the Diamondbacks lineup, batting second against the Tigers on Friday.

    Advice: Carroll came off the bench and pinch ran and scored a run on Wednesday. Fantasy managers have to be frustrated with Carroll’s production so far this season as he’s hitting just .193 with a .539 OPS. Only seven qualified hitters have a lower batting average entering play Friday. It’s not what you want from a first round pick. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago

    Young is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

    Advice: Young had started eight of the last nine contests, including six of them from the leadoff spot. He'll get a breather Friday, though, as Victor Robles patrols center field for the Nationals. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
