  • Likely back Saturday
    Kelenic (wrist) is likely to return to Atlanta's lineup Saturday versus the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Kelenic is missing a second straight start Friday after tweaking his right wrist on a diving catch Wednesday. However, he hit in the cage Friday and will be available to pinch hit. Barring any complications, Kelenic should be back in there for Saturday's contest. Rotowire.com Today, 1:54 pm

    Mateo (concussion) took ground balls Friday and could participate in batting practice, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

  • On bench Friday
    Valdez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Advice: Valdez will dodge a matchup with southpaw Garrett Crochet, giving way to Jamie Westbrook at second base Friday. Since Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) got hurt on June 1, Valdez is 7-for-20 with three homers, eight RBI and one strikeout. Rotowire.com Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Absent from lineup versus lefty
    Naylor is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Miami.

    Advice: With southpaw Ryan Weathers on the hill for the Marlins, the left-handed hitting Naylor will start this one on the bench. Austin Hedges will do the catching for Logan Allen. Rotowire.com Today, 1:39 pm
     
  • Idle Friday
    Smith is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Advice: Smith was busy in the Red Sox's 14-2 win Thursday, reaching safely on four occasions. He'll get the day off against lefty Garrett Crochet, with Bobby Dalbec filling in at first and batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:38 pm
     
  • Hits bench Friday
    Crow-Armstrong is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Cincinnati.

    Advice: Tough southpaw Nick Lodolo is starting for the Reds, so the lefty-hitting Crow-Armstrong will begin the contest on the bench. The rookie outfielder has now started just two of the last five games, with two of those coming against lefties. Cody Bellinger will be in center field for the Cubs on Friday.

  • Trenton Brooks sits against right-hander
    Trenton Brooks is on the bench against a right-hander in Friday’s game versus the Rangers.

    Advice: Hit a grand slam, you start the next day. That rule applies to Wilmer Flores, so Brooks, who already sat against lefties the last two days, will not get to return to the lineup against a righty tonight. Flores gets the nod even though he’s hitting just .217/.309/.253 against righties this season. Brooks is 1-for-9 with two walks since his callup last week. Rotoworld Today, 1:30 pm
