    • On bench Friday
      Valdez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: Valdez will dodge a matchup with southpaw Garrett Crochet, giving way to Jamie Westbrook at second base Friday. Since Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) got hurt on June 1, Valdez is 7-for-20 with three homers, eight RBI and one strikeout. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting out after HBP
      Hoerner is not in Friday's lineup in Cincinnati after being hit on the hand by a pitch in Thursday's win over the White Sox, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

      Advice: Hoerner was struck by a pitch in the fourth inning Thursday but stayed in and finished that game. He underwent a precautionary X-ray afterward, which evidently came back clean. However, it could be dealing with some residual soreness, hence his absence from Friday's lineup. Consider him day-to-day. David Bote will handle second base Friday. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

    • Marlins recall SS Edwards from Triple-A
      Marlins recalled SS Xavier Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville.

      Advice: The Marlins need infield depth with Tim Anderson on the bereavement list and Otto Lopez on the paternity list. Edwards was hitting .365 with no home runs in 13 games with Triple-A. He’s batting first for the Marlins in Friday night’s game against the Guardians. Rotoworld Today, 12:50 pm
       
    • Marlins place Lopez on paternity list
      Marlins placed SS Otto Lopez on paternity list.

      Advice: Lopez will be away from the team for three days as he takes care of things much more important than baseball. Lopez is hitting .295 with three home runs in 95 at-bats with Miami this season. Rotoworld Today, 12:44 pm

    • Sitting versus lefty
      Garcia is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus Atlanta.

      Advice: With southpaw Chris Sale drawing the start for Atlanta, the left-handed hitting Garcia will begin Friday's festivities on the bench. Ildemaro Vargas will start at second base for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 12:42 pm
       
    • Pirates optioned Liover Peguero to Triple-A
      Pirates optioned INF Liover Peguero to Triple-A Indianapolis.

      Advice: Peguero was recalled earlier this week with Michael A. Taylor going on the paternity list. Now that Taylor is back, Peguero is on his way back to Triple-A. The 23-year-old infielder could be a bench option again at some point for the Pirates. Rotoworld Today, 12:35 pm

    • Idle again
      Loftin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Loftin will be out of the starting lineup for a second straight day, giving way to Adam Frazier at second base. Loftin had started in six of the Royals' previous seven games, but they'll opt for the lefty-hitting Frazier on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:23 pm
       
    • Idle against O's
      Lowe isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Lowe has generated a hit in four straight games but will take a seat with lefty-throwing Cole Irvin on the mound for the Orioles. Jose Caballero will play second base and Taylor Walls will play shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 12:15 pm
