    • Starting at third base Friday
      Machado (personal) was added to the active roster and is starting at third base for Friday's game against the Phillies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

      Advice: Machado was placed on the paternity list Monday and ended up missing the Padres' last four games. What's notable about Friday's game is that Machado is starting at third base for the first time since getting surgery on his right elbow in October, while Graham Pauley serves as the designated hitter. Machado's return is a welcome one with rookie Jackson Merrill missing his second straight game due to a lingering groin issue. Machado is slashing .260/.324/.417 with four home runs and 12 RBI over 105 plate appearances to start the season. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 pm
       
    • Andrés Giménez not in Guardians lineup on Friday
      Andrés Giménez is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Braves.

      Advice: The switch-hitting 25-year-old infielder went hitless (0-for-10) during their series against the Red Sox to start the week, so perhaps Guardians’ skipper Stephen Vogt just wants to give him a day to clear his head. Gabriel Arias will start in his place at second base and will bat seventh against Chris Sale and the Braves on Friday evening in Atlanta. Rotoworld Today, 1:55 pm
       
    • Sitting versus lefty
      Gimenez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

      Advice: Atlanta is starting southpaw Chris Sale, so it's not a bad day for the left-handed hitting Gimenez to get a breather. Gabriel Arias will handle second base Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:52 pm
       
    • Perfect for save No. 3
      Munoz pitched a perfect ninth inning Thursday against the Rangers to earn a save.

      Advice: Munoz picked up his first save since April 6, making quick work of Wyatt Langford, Travis Jankowski and Jonah Heim to close out the Mariners' win. He's now 3-for-4 in save chances this season, and Thursday's outing could give him more leeway with Ryne Stanek breathing down his back for save chances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:45 pm
       
    • Andrés Muñoz hurls scoreless ninth for save
      Andrés Muñoz fired a scoreless ninth to preserve a win for the Mariners on Thursday while picking up a save.

      Advice: Muñoz needed just eight pitches to get through the inning, as the Rangers were aggressive against the 25-year-old. It’s the third save of the season for the right-hander, and he lowers his ERA to a solid 2.89 with the scoreless frame. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:59 pm
       
    • Receives rest day
      Smith is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: Smith will get a breather for the day game after he pounded out four hits, scored twice and drove in a run in Wednesday night's 11-2 win. Austin Barnes will fill in for Smith behind the plate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:51 am
       
    • Not starting Thursday
      Machado (personal) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Since Machado has already spent the maximum three days on the paternity list, he needs to be activated Thursday, but the Padres have yet to officially announce the move. Even if the Padres add Machado back to the 26-man roster Thursday, he'll still be available only as a bench player before likely making his return to the lineup against the Phillies this weekend, when the team returns to San Diego. Jurickson Profar will serve as the Friars' designated hitter Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:42 am
       
    • Swats seventh homer
      Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run against Seattle in Wednesday's 5-1 victory.

      Advice: Garcia put Texas on the board with a 416-foot solo shot in the fourth inning. It was his third long ball over his past six contests, and he is tied for fourth in the majors with seven homers on the season. Garcia has added 23 RBI, 18 runs, four steals and a .312/.359/.613 slash line. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:32 pm

    • Adolis García slugs seventh homer versus Mariners
      Adolis García went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored on Wednesday against the Mariners.

      Advice: García put the Rangers on the board with solo homer off Bryce Miller in the fourth inning, his seventh of the season. He later reached on a groundout and scored on a triple by Evan Carter. The 31-year-old slugger is enjoying an outstanding start to the season, hitting .312/.359/.613 with seven homers, 23 RBI, and four steals across 103 plate appearances. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:18 pm
