  • Young on the bench Friday
    Jacob Young is on the bench for the Nationals against the Phillies on Friday.

    Advice: Young was in the leadoff spot when the Nationals last played on Wednesday. He’s hitting .262 with no home runs this year, but he also has 14 stolen bases in 34 games. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
     
  • Abrams is back in the lineup Friday
    CJ Abrams is back in the Nationals lineup, batting first against the Phillies on Friday.

    Advice: Abrams was out of the lineup when the Nationals faced Garrett Crochet and the White Sox on Wednesday. It was a mostly routine day off with a tough matchup for the lefty. Abrams got off to a hot start this season, but is now hitting .205 with one home run and eight RBI over his last 20 games. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Carroll returns to the lineup on Friday
    Corbin Carroll is back in the Diamondbacks lineup, batting second against the Tigers on Friday.

    Advice: Carroll came off the bench and pinch ran and scored a run on Wednesday. Fantasy managers have to be frustrated with Carroll’s production so far this season as he’s hitting just .193 with a .539 OPS. Only seven qualified hitters have a lower batting average entering play Friday. It’s not what you want from a first round pick. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
     
  • Starting as designated hitter
    Santander (knee) is in the starting lineup as the designated hitter for Friday's matchup against the Mariners.

    Advice: Santander hurt his knee in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays after first colliding with the outfield wall and then hitting it again during a slide, which led to his exit from the game. The veteran outfielder will be eased back into the lineup at designated hitter while Ryan O'Hearn mans right field. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Idle against southpaw
    McCarthy is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting McCarthy will give way to Randal Grichuk in right field Friday as Detroit trots out the left-handed Tarik Skubal. McCarthy is 2-for-15 (.133) at the plate since May 5. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
     
  • Out of lineup Friday
    Kermaier is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: The left-handed batter will start from the dugout with the Blue Jays facing southpaw Tyler Alexander. Daulton Varsho will start in center field and bat seventh in place of Kiermaier with Davis Schneider and George Springer rounding out Toronto's outfield. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Stanton back in the lineup Friday
    Giancarlo Stanton is back in the lineup, batting fifth for the Yankees against the White Sox on Friday.

    Advice: Stanton had a routine day off on Thursday with the Yankees playing a day game after a night game. He’s past his prime at this point of his career, but the 34-year-old has still managed to blast nine home runs and 22 RBI in 144 at-bats this year. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Young is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

    Advice: Young had started eight of the last nine contests, including six of them from the leadoff spot. He'll get a breather Friday, though, as Victor Robles patrols center field for the Nationals. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Losing playing time
    Mullins is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Mullins will be on the bench for the third time in the last five games despite the O's facing a right-handed pitcher Friday. The left-handed Mullins is amid a massive slump, batting .085 with a 30.2 percent strikeout rate in 63 plate appearances since April 22. Colton Cowser has been earning more work in center field and will start there Friday while Kyle Stowers and Ryan O'Hearn fill out the outfield. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
