  • Jared Triolo homers as part of three-RBI day
    Jared Triolo delivered a two-run homer and an RBI single against the Cubs on Friday.

    Advice: Ke’Bryan Hayes’ back injury gave Triolo a reprieve when Nick Gonzales was called up, but Gonzales is performing well so far (.824 OPS) and Triolo will need more of this if he’s going to stick around after Hayes returns. Triolo entered the day having gone hitless in his last four games and having collected only three extra-base hits in 161 plate appearances on the season. He’s at .201/.291/.257 overall.

  • White Sox option Braden Shewmake to Triple-A
    White Sox optioned INF Braden Shewmake to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: With Corey Julks joining the active roster on Friday, the White Sox needed to clear a spot for him and it looks like Shewmake was the odd-man out this time around. The speedy 26-year-old infielder hit just .125/.134/.203 with a homer, four RBI and five stolen bases in 67 plate appearances at the big league level. Rotoworld Today, 2:13 pm

  • Nationals option Trey Lipscomb back to Triple-A
    Nationals optioned INF Trey Lipscomb to Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: The 23-year-old became an unfortunate roster casualty on Friday with Joey Gallo (shoulder) returning from the injured list. In 122 plate appearances with the Nats, Lipscomb hit .252/.331/.290 with a homer, nine RBI, 10 stolen bases and a 20/11 K/BB ratio. It shouldn’t take him long to earn another chance at the big league level. Rotoworld Today, 2:07 pm
     
  • White Sox activate Danny Mendick from 10-day IL
    White Sox activated INF/OF Danny Mendick from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The versatile 30-year-old will rejoin the White Sox’ roster with Bryan Ramos (quad) heading to the injured list on Friday. In his limited action with the big league club this season, Mendick has hit .256/.293/.410 with one homer, three RBI and one stolen base in just 39 at-bats. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld Today, 2:00 pm
     
  • White Sox place Bryan Ramos (quad) on 10-day IL
    White Sox placed INF Bryan Ramos on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain.

    Advice: The 22-year-old rookie third baseman suffered the injury during Tuesday’s game and wasn’t progressing as quickly as the White Sox had hoped, so he wound up requiring a trip on the injured list. Danny Mendick was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 1:58 pm

  • Misses lineup
    Polanco (hamstring) isn't in the Mariners' lineup Friday at Baltimore.

    Advice: Polanco will miss a third straight game with right hamstring soreness. Once again, Josh Rojas will slide to second base while Luis Urias starts at third. Rotowire.com Today, 1:13 pm

  • Down in five spot Friday
    Machado will start at third base and bat fifth in Friday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: It's only the second time over the past nine seasons that Machado has batted lower than cleanup. The 31-year-old is in the middle of a 2-for-30 stretch at the plate to drop his season batting line to .222/.276/.346. Rotowire.com Today, 1:10 pm
     
  • Placed on injured list
    Ramos was placed on the 10-day injured List Friday by the White Sox due to a left quadriceps strain.

    Advice: Ramos exited the first game of the White Sox's Tuesday doubleheader due to tightness in his quadricep, and he will now be out for at least another eight days due to the injury. The rookie infielder is slashing .281/.294/.344 through his first 10 big-league games. Rotowire.com Today, 1:05 pm

  • Activated from IL
    Mendick (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

    Advice: Mendick was placed on the injured list in early May with soreness in his back and only needed two rehab starts before being activated. During those two Triple-A games, Mendick went 0-for-8 with two walks and a run scored. He'll replace Braden Shewmake on the big-league roster and could see immediate action at third base with Bryan Ramos on the 10-day IL with a strained left quad. Rotowire.com Today, 12:54 pm
