    • Out against left-hander
      Tauchman is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Cincinnati.

      Advice: Tauchman has now been out of the lineup each of the last four times the Cubs have faced a lefty dating back to May 22, and he also was on the bench once versus a righty over that span. Christopher Morel is getting a start at designated hitter while Patrick Wisdom plays third base. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
       
    • Out of Friday's lineup
      Hays (ribs) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Hays was hit by a pitch in the ribs Thursday against the Blue Jays and will sit for at least one game. Colton Cowser will move to left field while Cedric Mullins starts in center and bats eighth. Rotowire.com 20 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 21 minutes ago

    • Josiah Gray (elbow) scheduled for first rehab start
      Josiah Gray will make his first rehab start Sunday for low-A Frederickburg.

      Advice: He’s slated for at least two rehab starts and probably will need more. The right-hander has missed two months with a flexor strain in his elbow. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago

    • Should avoid injured list
      Manager Aaron Boone said Soto, who is out of the lineup Friday against the Dodgers, had imaging on his left elbow come back clean in addition to being diagnosed with forearm inflammation, and the outfielder could be available this weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The 25-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with a severe injury and should be considered day-to-day. A quick return to the lineup this weekend is plausible, though Soto is certainly not guaranteed to see the field versus Los Angeles. Trent Grisham will enter the lineup in his place and man center field Friday, pushing Aaron Judge to right. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

    • Cade Cavalli (elbow) doing sidework with Nationals
      Cade Cavalli’s minor league rehab assignment is on pause as he travels with the major league club.

      Advice: Cavalli, on the way back from Tommy John surgery, threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings in Rookie ball on May 20 and then allowed two runs in 2 2/3 innings in high-A ball on May 30. Rather than keep him in the minors, the Nationals currently have him throwing with the major league team. It suggests there’s no real chance of him pitching in the majors before the All-Star break, not that it ever seemed very likely anyway. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago

    • Throwing 50-55 pitches in rehab
      Gray (elbow) will throw 50-55 pitches during a rehab start with Single-A Fredericksburg on Sunday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Gray got up to 76 pitches during a live BP session prior to being sent on a rehab assignment but will be limited to 50-55 pitches in his first appearance. If all goes well Sunday, Gray will head to Double-A Harrisburg for another rehab start. Gray will likely need at least one more outing after the start at Double-A , making late June a feasible timeline for return. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

    • Gerrit Cole’s next rehab start slated for Sunday
      Gerrit Cole’s second rehab start as he returns from an elbow injury will come for Double-A Somerset on Sunday.

      Advice: Cole also pitched at Somerset his first time out. He’s expected to make at least one more rehab start in addition to this weekend’s. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago

    • Cubs activate Jordan Wicks ahead of Friday’s game
      Cubs activated LHP Jordan Wicks from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: The Cubs could have had Wicks make one more rehab start, but they’ve brought him back now, even though they have no plans to give him a start this weekend. He’ll probably be back in the rotation next week, but he’ll be available to go long in relief tonight. Wicks allowed three runs and struck out 11 over 8 2/3 innings in his three rehab appearances.
