  • Receiving rest day
    Alvarez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Alvarez has a .646 OPS through 15 games in May and went 1-for-11 with five strikeouts over the past three contests, and he'll sit Friday after starting the first 44 games of the campaign. Yainer Diaz will serve as the designated hitter while Victor Caratini starts behind the plate. Rotowire.com Today, 1:42 pm
  • Idle versus lefty
    Moniak is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Rangers.

    Advice: The lefty hitting Moniak will start from the dugout as the Angels take on southpaw Andrew Heaney. Kevin Pillar will start at center field and bat fourth in place of Moniak with Taylor Ward and Jo Adell rounding out the Los Angeles outfield. Rotowire.com Today, 1:41 pm
  • Gets break Friday
    Rafaela is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Rafaela will get a break as Boston kicks off their series against the Cardinals. The second-year major leaguer opened the campaign as the Red Sox's primary center fielder but has mostly played shortstop over the past month. The lineup absence marks his first time on the bench since April 11. Rotowire.com Today, 1:35 pm
  • Not starting against Toronto
    Siri is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Siri started in five of the previous seven matchups for Tampa Bay, but he's struggled to get his bat going this season with a slash line of .174/.264/.294 and 38.9 percent strikeout rate. Jonny DeLuca will receive the start in center field Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:25 pm
  • Stewart out of the lineup on Friday
    DJ Stewart is out of the Mets lineup for Friday’s game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Even with Brandon Nimmo out, Stewart will be on the bench to begin Friday’s game as left-hander Jesus Luzardo will start for the Marlins. Stewart has just four at-bats against left-handed pitchers this season. He has four home runs and 16 RBI in 68 at-bats against right-handed pitchers this season. Rotoworld Today, 12:56 pm
  • Recalled to majors
    Julks was recalled to the majors Friday by the White Sox.

    Advice: After being traded to the White Sox from the Astros on Wednesday, Julks will now be called up just two days later. The 28-year-old recorded two hits and one run in seven plate appearances across two games with Chicago's Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte after being traded, and he slashed .266/.358/.444 with five home runs with Triple-A Sugar Land prior to the deal.

  • Held out again Friday
    Nimmo (illness) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest in Miami.

    Advice: Nimmo was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to a stomach bug and he's evidently still not feeling well enough to play. With Nimmo resting, the Mets will go with Tyrone Taylor in left field and in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 12:52 pm
  • Ronald Acuña Jr. back in the lineup on Friday
    Ronald Acuña Jr. is back in the lineup, batting first for the Braves against the Padres on Friday.

    Advice: Acuña received the day off on Wednesday as the Braves look for him to break out of his slump. He went 0-for-5 at the plate on Tuesday, which dropped his average to .245 on the season. Acuña’s .696 OPS is the lowest of his career. Hopefully the short break helps him get on track. Rotoworld Today, 12:46 pm
