    • Getting break Friday
      Palacios is out of the lineup Friday against the Nationals, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Palacios will begin from the dugout as southpaw Mitchell Parker takes the mound for Washington. The 27-year-old outfielder started every game of Tampa Bay's most recent series against Seattle, going 4-for-12 with four runs and two RBI. Randy Arozarena will move to left field and bat second in place of Palacios. Rotowire.com Today, 12:12 pm
       
    • Held out again Friday
      Lowe (toe) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: Lowe hasn't played since suffering a fractured right pinky toe on June 22. The Rays are facing a lefty in Mitchell Parker on Friday, so Lowe might not have been in the lineup, anyway. If he remains out Saturday against righty Jake Irvin, a stint on the injured list surely will have to be considered. Jose Caballero is at second base Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:07 pm

    • Brandon Lowe on bench again Friday
      Brandon Lowe (toe) isn’t starting for Friday’s game against the Nationals.

      Advice: Lowe hasn’t played since June 22nd after breaking his pinkie toe. He also battled an illness earlier this week. Tampa Bay is also facing a left-hander starter in Mitchell Parker. The Rays haven’t put Lowe on the IL yet so hopefully he can return to the lineup soon. Jose Caballero will get the start at second base and bat seventh on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 12:03 pm

    • On bench Friday
      Valdez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against San Diego, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: Despite the Red Sox facing a right-hander in Randy Vasquez, Valdez will take a seat, yielding to David Hamilton at second base while Ceddanne Rafaela fills in at short stop. Valdez is slashing .212/.267/.404 with six home runs in 162 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:38 am
       
    • Nabs steal
      Loftin went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.

      Advice: Loftin has gone just 4-for-41 (.098) with a 5:10 BB:K over his last 14 contests. The versatile infielder got the start at third base for the second game in a row after CJ Alexander was at the hot corner for the two previous contests. The Royals are limiting Michael Massey to designated hitter to ease him in after another back injury, but once he's able to play the field, Loftin's usage is like to decrease. Loftin is slashing just .223/.322/.282 with one home run, one steal, 13 RBI and 14 runs scored over 122 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 11:00 am
       
    • Homer, two hits in win
      Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's win over the Tigers.

      Advice: Rengifo increased the Angels' lead to five runs with a two-out, two-run blast in the bottom of the fifth, giving the second baseman his first long ball since May 24 against the Guardians. It marked his eighth multi-hit performance this month and the third in his four contests, raising his season average to .312. The home run was Rengifo's fifth of the campaign.

    • Productive in rout
      Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Yankees.

      Advice: The hit was a fluky one -- he squibbed a ball down the first-base line, and it caromed off the bag and away from Ben Rice rather than rolling foul -- but Turner still put together a productive night in a 9-2 rout. The veteran slugger has found a groove at the plate, going 10-for-25 (.400) over the last eight games with a double, a homer, four RBI, seven runs and an 8:6 BB:K. Despite the surge, Turner's .715 OPS on the season would be his lowest mark since 2013. Rotowire.com Today, 6:56 am

    • Outrighted to Triple-A
      The Orioles outrighted Maton to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

      Advice: It's the second time since March that Maton has been sent outright to Norfolk after clearing waivers. He has again accepted the outright assignment and will remain in the organization as utility depth. Rotowire.com Today, 6:45 am

    • Stays hot in win
      Steer went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run homer and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

      Advice: Steer hit a leadoff double in his second at-bat before coming around to score Cincinnati's third run of the contest and then added a two-run shot in the following frame to extend the team's lead to five runs. The outfielder has now recorded multiple hits in three of his last four games, tallying six RBI over that stretch. He's now batting .286 in June with four homers, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored.
