  • Brett Baty (hamstring) remains out of Mets lineup
    Brett Baty (hamstring) remained out of the Mets’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The good news, is that Baty was able to go through a full workout prior to the game and hasn’t been placed on the injured list, so the Mets seem to think that he’ll be back in relatively short order. Joey Wendle will start in his place at third base on Friday and will bat ninth against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago

  • Jhoan Duran (oblique) throws live bullpen session
    Jhoan Duran (oblique) threw a successful live bullpen session on Friday in Minnesota.

    Advice: Duran is close to being sent out on a minor league rehab assignment, and could go out before the weekend is through if he wakes up feeling good on Saturday. The 26-year-old stopper has a chance to make his triumphant return to the Twins bullpen before the month of April is through. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago

  • Throws BP session Friday
    Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Friday that Duran (oblique) threw a 21-pitch bullpen session and felt no discomfort, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Duran was supposed to throw 20 pitches Friday, but Baldelli noted that the right-hander "wanted an extra one, so that tells you he's feeling good." It's another positive step for Duran, and he appears close to starting his rehab assignment. He started the season on the 15-day IL due to a right oblique strain he sustained in spring training.

  • Hits bench versus lefty
    Yastrzemski isn't in San Francisco's lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle repors.

    Advice: Left-hander Jordan Montgomery will start on the mound for the D-backs, so the left-handed bat of Yastrzemski will stay put in the dugout to begin Friday's game. His absence will allow Austin Slater to start in right field and bat in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Sits down versus southpaw
    Lee isn't in the Giants' lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: After extending his hitting streak to 10 games with two hits Thursday, Lee will take a seat Friday against left-hander Jordan Montgomery. Tyler Fitzgerald will fill the void in center field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Resting versus lefty
    Wade isn't in the Giants' lineup Friday versus the Diamondbacks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

  • Day off Friday
    Bailey isn't in the Giants' lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

  • Gets breather versus LHP
    Pederson isn't in Arizona's lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Left-hander Blake Snell will toe the slab for San Francisco, so the lefty-hitting Pederson will take a seat Friday. Blaze Alexander will fill in as the Snakes' designated hitter while Kevin Newman starts at shortstop and bats ninth. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Day off Friday
    Springer isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Friday's game against San Diego.

    Advice: Springer will catch a breather after going 2-for-10 with four walks during Toronto's previous series against the Yankees. While he sits, Cavan Biggio will shift to right field, allowing Davis Schneider to pick up a start at second base while batting fourth. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
