  • Mark Canha undergoes additional testing on hip
    Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters after Friday’s loss to the Red Sox that Mark Canha underwent additional testing on his injured left hip.

    Advice: Canha was a late scratch from Friday’s lineup with the hip issue — which apparently has been bothering him for some time now and finally told the Tigers that he couldn’t play through it any longer. We’ll wait and see what the test results yield, but there’s a chance that the 35-year-old outfielder may wind up on the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:10 pm

  • Seth Brown strikes out four times in loss
    Seth Brown struck out all four times he was up in Friday’s loss to the Braves.

    Advice: It’s probably about time for the A’s to give up on Brown. He was a solid role player in 2021 and ’22, but his slugging fell off last year, and his exit velocity numbers have really slipped while he’s hit .201/.242/.329 this season. Lawrence Butler seems like a better option in his spot. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:25 pm

  • Mark Canha scratched Friday with sore left hip
    Mark Canha was scratched from the Tigers’ starting lineup on Friday due to soreness in his left hip.

    Advice: The 35-year-old outfielder is considered day-to-day. Andy Ibanez will replace him in the team’s starting lineup at second base with Colt Keith shifting to the designated hitter spot. The Tigers are already without Kerry Carpenter (back) for a significant amount of time, so they really can’t afford to have Canha to be out for long. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:18 pm

  • Scratched Friday
    Canha was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Red Sox due to left hip soreness.

    Advice: Canha was slated to serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot Friday, but the 35-year-old was removed from the lineup due to the injury. Colt Keith will shift to DH and Andy Ibanez will start at second base, while Gio Urshela moves up to fourth in the batting order against Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck.

  • Luke Raley (lat) returns to lineup on Friday
    Luke Raley (lat) returned to the Mariners’ starting lineup on Friday night.

    Advice: The 29-year-old slugger sat out Thursday’s contest due to lat soreness, but it appears to have been only a minor issue. Raley will start in left field and bat eighth against Angels’ right-hander Jose Soriano on Friday evening in Seattle. On the season, he’s slashing .260/.299/.394 with four homers, 12 RBI and four stolen bases in 134 plate appearances across 45 ballgames. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:55 pm

  • Returns to lineup Friday
    Raley (lat) is starting in left field and batting eighth Friday against the Angels.

    Advice: Lat soreness prevented Raley from starting during Thursday's loss to the Astros, but the issue appears to have subsided prior to Friday's contest. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .292/.346/.486 since the beginning of May, but he has been in a slump recently, tallying just one hit in 19 at-bats while striking out 10 times in his last seven games.

  • Brendan Donovan scratched Friday with stiff neck
    Brendan Donovan was scratched from the Cardinals’ starting lineup on Friday due to neck stiffness.

    Advice: The 27-year-old infielder is considered day-to-day for the time being. Dylan Carlson will take his place in the Cardinals’ lineup and will bat eighth against Aaron Nola and the Phillies while Matt Carpenter slides up to the leadoff spot in the team’s batting order.

  • Taking seat Friday
    Vaughn is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Vaughn will get a day off Friday after appearing in seven straight contests for the White Sox. Instead, Gavin Sheets will play first base and bat cleanup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:21 pm
