    • Royce Lewis getting a breather on Friday night
      Royce Lewis is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Athletics.

      Advice: The Twins have been careful to ease the 25-year-old slugger back into action following his return from the injured list, but after starting four straight games they decided it was a good time to give him a breather. Jose Miranda will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat fifth for the Twins against Mitch Spence and the Athletics. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

    • Absent from starting nine
      McCarthy is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

      Advice: Despite the right-handed Chris Flexen starting for Chicago, McCarthy will give way to Randal Grichuk in right field. McCarthy had started in five of the D-Backs' previous six games, so it's likely Friday's absence is nothing more than a day off. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
       
    • Receiving Friday off
      Jeffers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Oakland.

      Advice: Jeffers has yet to make consecutive starts behind the plate this season, and his playing time has slipped lately as he hasn't made a start at designated hitter since June 1. It's been a rough month so far for the 27-year-old, who has gone 3-for-30 through nine contests. Christian Vazquez will step in behind the plate Friday to catch for Simeon Woods Richardson.

    • Joey Gallo to undergo MRI on injured hamstring
      Joey Gallo was set to undergo an MRI exam on his injured hamstring on Friday.

      Advice: The results of that exam are not yet known. The 30-year-old slugger sustained the injury on Tuesday while he was running out a ground ball in the seventh inning. While the severity of the injury remains unclear, it sounds like the Nationals expect him to be sidelined for a while this time around. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago

    • Not in Friday's lineup
      Lewis is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Lewis is in the midst of a six-game hit streak, during which he's gone 9-for-23 with two homers, but he'll take a seat Friday after making four straight starts. Jose Miranda will step in at the hot corner and bat fifth. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

    • Idle Friday, more AB's coming
      Singleton is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers but should get most of the at-bats at first base moving forward, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: With Jose Abreu off the roster, Singleton should be the clear-cut option at first base for the Astros, but he'll take a seat Friday with lefty Tarik Skubal on the mound for Detroit. Manager Dana Brown indicated Friday that Houston could look to acquire another first baseman unless Singleton "takes the bull by the horn," but Singleton should take the lion's share of first base work for the time being. Singleton is slashing .213/.316/.333 on the year but is 7-for-37 (.189) against LHP. Mauricio Dubon will play first and bat sixth Friday. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
       
    • Taking seat Friday
      Campusano is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Mets.

      Advice: He will yield to the hot-hitting Kyle Higashioka at catcher Friday. Campusano is hitting just .146/.203/.182 across his last 19 games. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
       
    • Yainer Diaz (finger) returns to action on Friday
      Yainer Diaz (finger) returned to the Astros’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Tigers.

      Advice: It’s the first time that the 25-year-old backstop has been in the lineup since he took a foul tip off of his finger during Sunday’s game. He’ll serve as the team’s designated hitter and bat fifth against tough left-hander Tarik Skubal while Victor Caratini does the catching for the Astros and will bat eighth. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago

    • Returning to lineup
      Diaz (finger) is batting fifth and is the designated hitter for Friday's game against the Tigers.

      Advice: Diaz missed three straight games with a right index finger injury, but he'll be back in action Friday. Considering his injury impacts his throwing and accuracy, Diaz could require a few more games at DH before going behind the dish. The 25-year-old had a six-game hit streak prior to being injured with four homers during that stretch. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
