  • Brandon Drury (head) remains out of action Friday
    Brandon Drury (migraine) remains out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Guardians.

    Advice: It’s unclear if Drury is sitting again because he’s still dealing with the migraine issue, or if manager Ron Washington simply wanted to go a different direction with right-hander Tanner Bibee on the hill for the Guardians on Friday night. Luis Rengifo will cover second base in his absence while Willie Calhoun functions as the Halos’ designated hitter. Rotoworld 2 minutes ago

  • Sidelined again Friday
    Drury (migraine) isn't part of Friday's lineup against the Guardians.

    Advice: Drury was scratched from Wednesday's contest due to a migraine, and while it hasn't been confirmed that it's the injury holding him out of Friday's game, it can be assumed that that's the case. Luis Rengifo will make another start at second with Ehire Adrianza over at third. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Takes seat Friday
    Bader is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Bader will get the day off Friday, as Tyrone Taylor fills in at center field against Aaron Civale and the Rays. Bader played in each game of the Mets four-game series against the Cubs, so it's likely a rest day for the center fielder. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Activated, batting seventh in debut
    Grissom (hamstring/illness) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base Friday against the Twins.

    Advice: The 23-year-old is recovered from a bout with the flu and has joined the Red Sox a few days later than initially expected. Grissom has a career .287/.339/.407 slash line in 64 big-league games and should see plenty of playing time at the keystone for the Red Sox. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Cleared for rehab assignment
    Gallo (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Fredericksburg on Saturday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: It's a relatively quick turnaround for Gallo, who went on the injured list less than a week ago with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder. Because he's missed so little time, Gallo shouldn't need too many rehab games before being activated. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Colton Cowser absent from Orioles lineup on Friday
    Colton Cowser is not in the Orioles’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: After lighting the world on fire at the plate for a while after joining the Orioles’ starting lineup, Cowser has struggled recently — hitting just .107/.265/.143 with zero homers, one RBI and a 14/5 K/BB ratio over 34 plate appearances in his last nine games. Heston Hjerstad will start in his place on Friday night and will bat eighth against Hunter Greene and the Reds. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Willie Calhoun hitting cleanup for Angels Friday
    Willie Calhoun is serving as the Angels’ designated hitter and batting cleanup for Friday night’s tilt against the Guardians.

    Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder was promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday and will see his first game action in a depleted Angels’ lineup on Friday night. Perhaps now is the time that the post-post-hype sleeper will finally deliver on his long-held promise, much to the delight and admiration of fantasy managers everywhere.

  • Out against left-hander
    Winker is not in the lineup for Friday's tilt versus the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi is starting or the Jays on Friday and he's limited left-handed batters to just a .351 OPS this season. Meanwhile, the lefty-hitting Winker has a .505 OPS against southpaws in 2024. Ildemaro Vargas is in left field. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Starting sixth straight game
    Perez is starting in center field and batting third Friday against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Perez has a .333/.400/.694 slash line over his past 10 contests and is starting Friday for the sixth consecutive game. He's seen most of his playing time in right field this season but is making his second straight start in center amid Parker Meadows' offensive struggles. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
