  • Idle against RHP
    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Houston.

    Advice: McKinstry will give way to the righty-hitting Ryan Kreidler at shortstop Friday despite right-hander Hunter Brown on the mound for the Astros.

  • To Triple-A IL with elbow injury
    Holliday was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Norfolk on Friday with right elbow inflammation, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: It's not clear at this point how long the top prospect might be sidelined. While he's still drawing plenty of walks in June, Holliday has scuffled a bit overall this month, slashing .212/.422/.394. On the whole, he's hitting .252/.418/.429 with five homers in 40 games for Norfolk since being demoted. A return to the big leagues had not seemed imminent for Holliday, but certainly the injury will rule out the possibility for a while. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:04 pm
     
  • Getting breather Friday
    Toro is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Toro will be out of the Athletics' lineup for the first time since April 28, getting a well-deserved day off Friday. J.D. Davis will bat seventh and play third base while Max Schuemann leads off. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:00 pm
     
  • Sitting against lefty
    Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Lowe will dodge a matchup with southpaw Chris Sale on Friday. Instead, Jose Caballero will bat eighth and play second. Lowe has produced multiple hits in three of his last eight games with a pair of homers during that stretch. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:46 pm
