  • Tommy John surgery likely
    Smith has been diagnosed with a significant UCL tear in his right elbow and is likely to undergo Tommy John surgery, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Smith is waiting on a second opinion before anything is decided, but it appears the writing is on the wall. It's a blow to the Mets and also poor timing for Smith, who is set to become a free agent this offseason. If the righty does indeed have surgery, he's likely to be out at least until late in the 2025 season. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Out of Friday's lineup
    Fortes is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Fortes will cede catching duties to Ali Sanchez as the Marlins take on southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Fortes has struggled to get his bat going this entire season, registering a slash line of .160/.192/.227and getting just three hits in his last 21 at bats. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Idle Friday
    Gordon is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Gordon will get a breather Friday after making six straight starts, collecting a hit in each contest. Bryan De La Cruz will play left field and lead off against the Phillies. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • Taking seat Friday
    Chisholm is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Chisholm had made seven consecutive starts, so Friday's absence can be chalked up to a rest day for the center fielder. Bryan De La Cruz, Vidal Brujan and Dane Myers fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting against lefty
    Sanchez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Philadelphia.

    Advice: Left-hander Cristopher Sanchez is toeing the slab for the Phillies, so the lefty-hitting Sanchez will take a seat. Dane Myers will patrol right field for the Marlins. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Clears waivers, headed to Triple-A
    Henley has cleared waivers and been sent to Triple-A Sugar Land by the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Henley was designated for assignment back on Sunday, but he'll now return to Houston's Triple-A affiliate after not being claimed by another team. The 27-year-old pitcher appeared in just one game with Houston this year, giving up five earned runs in less than an inning pitched. He'll return to the safety of Sugar Land where he's logged a 4.35 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 54:37 K:BB across 60 innings pitched this season. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Marlins sit Chisholm, Sánchez against tough lefty
    The Marlins have both Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesús Sánchez on the bench for Friday’s game against Cristopher Sánchez and the Phillies.

    Advice: Both players have been starting against most southpaws as of late, but Cristopher Sánchez has really carved up left-handed hitters this year, limiting them to a .459 OPS. As a result, Vidal Bruján is getting the start in center, and Dane Myers, making his first start since June 15, is playing right. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Idle again Friday
    Laureano is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Laureano will be out of the starting nine for a second consecutive contest, giving way to Adam Duvall in right field once again. Laureano had started in each of Atlanta's previous seven games Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Jose Iglesias remains on bench Friday
    Jose Iglesias is out of the Mets lineup in favor of Jeff McNeil for a fifth straight game Friday.

    Advice: McNeil had a sac fly in five plate appearances during last night’s 12-2 rout, buying him at least another week of starts. Iglesias is hitting .400/.447/.457 in 38 plate appearances, the last of which came six days ago. He probably will get a start Saturday with the Mets due to face a lefty. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
