  • Out against right-hander
    Kirilloff is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Right-hander Mitch Keller will be toeing the slab for the Pirates, but the left-handed hitting Kirilloff nonetheless finds himself beginning this one on the bench. Trevor Larnach is in left field and Jose Miranda will be the designated hitter for the Twins. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
     
  • Designated for assignment
    The White Sox designated Woodford for assignment Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: The move comes one day after Woodford was torched for seven runs on 10 hits and three walks over four innings in a loss to the Red Sox. He's being replaced on the roster by Jonathan Cannon, who will also likely take Woodford's spot in the rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 12:10 pm

  • Juan Soto (forearm) will be OK, per Heyman
    Initial doctor reports suggests Yankees OF Juan Soto will be OK, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

    Advice: The initial prognosis is inflammation for Soto. While his timetable to return to the field is still unclear, this is certainly a relief as it appears the Yankees have avoided the worst case scenario with their star outfielder. Rotoworld Today, 12:09 pm

  • Initial imaging shows inflammation
    Soto received a preliminary diagnosis of left forearm inflammation after undergoing medical imaging Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. He's out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The 25-year-old was removed from Thursday's contest with left forearm discomfort, which he apparently has dealt with throughout the past week. Soto will sit at least one game and his outlook for the immediate future remains a bit murky for now, but the initial reports are an encouraging development and indicate he may have avoided a serious injury.

  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    The Guardians outrighted Florial to Triple-A Columbus on Friday after he cleared waivers.

    Advice: Florial was designated for assignment last week after slashing just .173/.264/.367 with a 36.9 percent strikeout rate in his first 36 games with Cleveland. While no longer on the 40-man roster, he will remain in the organization as outfield depth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:03 pm

  • Recalled, batting leadoff Friday
    The Marlins recalled Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

    Advice: Miami is in need of infield help with both Tim Anderson (bereavement) and Otto Lopez (paternity) away from the club for a few days. Edwards is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff in Friday's game against the Guardians. The 24-year-old got a late start to this season due to a bacterial infection in his left foot, but he's slashed .365/.411/.481 with three stolen bases in 17 games with Jacksonville. He's not guaranteed regular playing time, but if he gets it Edwards could deserve some attention in deeper fantasy leagues due to his stolen base potential. Rotowire.com Today, 11:45 am
     
  • Joining Marlins
    Gray was called up by the Marlins from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

    Advice: With Tim Anderson being placed on the Bereavement List and Otto Lopez going on the Paternity List, Gray will jump up to the Marlins 26-man roster. Gray briefly joined the team in May while Anderson was on the IL but only made one start, which came at third base. Considering he primarily plays on the corners, Gray should be expected to fill out a depth role during his time in Miami. Rotowire.com Today, 11:44 am

  • Bat showing life
    Benson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Benson provided insurance for the Reds with a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh inning. It was the fourth consecutive game with a hit for Benson, who is 6-for-14 with a double, a triple, five RBI and three runs scored during that stretch. The steal was his ninth of the season, but his first in 22 games. The hit streak has raised Benson's batting average to .214, the highest it's been since April 30. Rotowire.com Today, 4:41 am
