  • Exits starting nine
    Schneider is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Spencer Horwitz will handle second base and Addison Barger will be in left field for the Blue Jays. Schneider is hitting just .171/.229/.316 in June. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Getting break Friday
    Palacios is out of the lineup Friday against the Nationals, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Palacios will begin from the dugout as southpaw Mitchell Parker takes the mound for Washington. The 27-year-old outfielder started every game of Tampa Bay's most recent series against Seattle, going 4-for-12 with four runs and two RBI. Randy Arozarena will move to left field and bat second in place of Palacios. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Out against left-hander
    Lowe is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: With southpaw Mitchell Parker on the hill for the Nationals, the left-handed hitting Lowe will begin this one on the bench. Jonny DeLuca will occupy right field. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Held out again Friday
    Lowe (toe) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Lowe hasn't played since suffering a fractured right pinky toe on June 22. The Rays are facing a lefty in Mitchell Parker on Friday, so Lowe might not have been in the lineup, anyway. If he remains out Saturday against righty Jake Irvin, a stint on the injured list surely will have to be considered. Jose Caballero is at second base Friday. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Out against lefty
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Washington, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Rortvedt will retreat to the bench as the Rays take on southpaw Zach Eflin. Alex Jackson will take over catching duties and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Brandon Lowe on bench again Friday
    Brandon Lowe (toe) isn’t starting for Friday’s game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Lowe hasn’t played since June 22nd after breaking his pinkie toe. He also battled an illness earlier this week. Tampa Bay is also facing a left-hander starter in Mitchell Parker. The Rays haven’t put Lowe on the IL yet so hopefully he can return to the lineup soon. Jose Caballero will get the start at second base and bat seventh on Friday. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Will swing bat Friday
    Jung (wrist) will attempt to swing a bat Friday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Jung's return has been delayed due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right wrist, but he's ready to test things out swinging a bat after resting for a week and receiving a cortisone shot. The third baseman could be activated soon if things go well in the cage Friday, but when Jung does return he could be eased back into action, playing every other day or receiving one off day per series, according to Grant. Jung has been sidelined since early April. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Bryce Harper goes on IL with mild hamstring strain
    Phillies placed 1B Bryce Harper on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: The Phillies are calling it a low-grade strain, so Harper could be ready to go as soon as his 10 days are up. Kody Clemens will fill in at first base against righties. The Phillies will probably shift Alec Bohm to first and play Edmundo Sosa at third versus lefties. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago

  • Idle against RHP
    Dahl is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Miami.

    Advice: Dahl had been on the bench in two of the Phillies' previous three games, though each came against a left-handed pitcher. On Friday, righty Kyle Tyler will toe the rubber for Miami, but the lefty-hitting Dahl won't crack the starting nine. Whit Merrifield, Johan Rojas and Brandon Marsh fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
