  • Sits against lefty
    Sanchez is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting outfielder will get a break for the first time since last Friday while the Marlins face southpaw starting pitcher Ranger Suarez. Dane Meyers will get the start at right field while Jazz Chisholm and Bryan De La Cruz join him in the back of the diamond. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Taking seat Friday
    Beck is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rangers.

    Advice: Beck was given nine straight starts in left field upon his promotion from Triple-A Albuquerque, but he's gone just 5-for-32 with a 14:0 K:BB in those games, so the Rockies will give him a day to regroup. Jake Cave is in left field Friday. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Back in lineup
    Canha (illness) is batting third and is the Tigers' designated hitter for Friday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Canha has been dealing with an upper respiratory illness and missed a pair of games due to the issue. However, Canha seems to be on the mend, making his first appearance since May 6 and reclaiming his usual DH role. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

  • Not starting Friday
    Carpenter is not in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Astros.

  • On base three times in win
    Hampson went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Hampson was one of five Royals with a multi-hit effort in the high-scoring win. The utility man continues to play in a short-side platoon role in center field, though he's also often entered off the bench this season due to his versatility. He's hit well when given the chance, batting .268 with no home runs, two doubles, three RBI, five runs scored and four steals over 43 plate appearances. Kyle Isbel continues to handle the majority of the playing time in center. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 am

  • Provides lone run in loss
    Nootbaar went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Nootbaar has homered in each of the last two games, but he's batting just .184 (7-for-38) with five extra-base hits over his last 10 contests. The outfielder is up to three homers through 24 contests on the year, with the recent increase in power helping to make up for an overall lack of success at the plate. He's slashing .184/.290/.356 with nine RBI, eight runs scored, six doubles and two stolen bases through 101 plate appearances. Nootbaar continues to split time between left field and right field depending on where Brendan Donovan plays. Rotowire.com Today, 9:55 am
     
  • Multi-hit effort in loss
    Raley went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Twins on Thursday.

    Advice: Raley provided the only meaningful offense for the Mariners in the 11-1 loss, driving in Mitch Haniger with a second-inning knock. Raley has picked it up nicely at the plate since late April, now having forged a .375 average and .923 OPS across the 26 plate appearances covering his last 10 games. However, his strikeout rate during that stretch is still a bloated 30.8 percent, an albatross on Raley's offensive profile that has been a constant presence throughout his time in the majors.

  • Big day at plate
    Blanco went 3-for-3 with a double, a two-run home run and four runs scored in Thursday's win over the Angels.

    Advice: Blanco kicked off a four-run inning for Kansas City with his first home run of the season and then led off the fifth with an infield single before eventually coming around to score a second time. The outfielder reached base four times in the contest while also swiping two bags and scoring a season-high four runs. Furthermore, it marked Blanco's first three-hit performance of the campaign and he's now batting .500 through six games in May with two RBI, six runs scored and five stolen bases.

  • Two RBI in loss
    Steer went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Arizona.

    Advice: Steer delivered two runs on a two-out single in the bottom the seventh inning to tie the game before the Diamondbacks went ahead an inning later. He continues to produce with runners in scoring position, posting a .359 average and 1.022 OPS in such situations. Rotowire.com Today, 5:44 am
