    • Exits with illness
      Caballero was removed from Friday's game against Atlanta due to an illness, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

      Advice: Richie Palacios replaced Caballero at second base during the third inning. The 27-year-old infielder is slashing .241/.333/.483 across 33 plate appearances since the beginning of June and will continue to rest as he fights off his sickness. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
       
    • Jose Caballero leaves game with illness Friday
      Jose Caballero was removed from Friday’s battle against the Braves in the fourth inning due to illness.

      Advice: Most observers raised an eyebrow when Caballero was replaced by Richie Palacios in the ballgame, but it turns out he was simply feeling a bit under the weather. He’s considered day-to-day and should return to the Rays’ lineup at some point before the weekend is through. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
       
    • Scratched Friday
      Cruz was scratched from the Pirates' lineup ahead of Friday's game versus Colorado due to left ankle soreness, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

      Advice: Cruz was initially slated to start at shortstop during Friday's series opener, but it will instead be Jared Triolo making his first career start at short while Cruz takes a day to recover from a tweaked ankle he suffered during Thursday's contest. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
       
    • Oneil Cruz (ankle) scratched from lineup on Friday
      Oneil Cruz was scratched from the Pirates’ starting lineup on Friday night due to a sore ankle.

      Advice: Cruz tweaked his ankle again while running the bases during Thursday’s game and just wasn’t quite ready to give it a go on Friday night. He’s considered day-to-day. Jared Triolo will start in his place at shortstop and bat eighth for the Pirates at Coors Field on Friday evening. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
       
    • Michael Harris leaves game with hamstring tightness
      The Braves announced that Michael Harris II was pulled from Friday’s showdown against the Rays in the first inning due to left hamstring tightness.

      Advice: That’s certainly what it looked like on the field, but it’s nice to receive confirmation from the team so quickly. He’ll head for further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury. If he’s forced to miss any extended time, we could see the Braves turn to the trade market to try to bring in some outside help — as Alex Anthopoulous has been known to do.

    • Exits Friday's game
      Harris was removed from Friday's game against the Rays due to left hamstring tightness.

      Advice: Harris strained his left hamstring while running from first base to third in the bottom of the first inning. J.P. Martinez pinch ran for Harris and is in center field for the remainder of Friday's game. More information on the severity of Harris' injury should be known following Friday's contest.

    • Michael Harris II exits game with hamstring injury
      Michael Harris II was removed from Friday’s matchup against the Rays in the first inning due to an apparent hamstring injury.

      Advice: The 23-year-old outfielder led off the home half of the first inning with a double, but pulled up lame into third base on a double by Ozzie Albies and was subsequently removed from the ballgame. It appeared to be a hamstring issue, but the Braves should have an update on his status shortly. Stay tuned. Rotoworld Today, 4:39 pm
       
    • Jake Cave (head) scratched from Rockies’ lineup
      Jake Cave was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Friday after sustaining a “minor cut to his forehead” when he was hit in the side of the head by a line drive during batting practice.

      Advice: It sounds like he was fortunate to have avoided a more serious injury, but Rockies’ skipper Bud Black said he would provide another update on his status after Friday’s game. Elehuris Montero will take his place in the Rockies lineup, with Charlie Blackmon shifting from designated hitter to right field. Rotoworld Today, 4:29 pm

    • Serving as DH on Friday
      Montero is starting as the designated hitter and batting eighth for Friday's game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Montero was initially slated to begin Friday's game in the dugout, but he was inserted into the starting lineup after Jake Cave (undisclosed) was carted off the field during batting practice after being hit in the head by a line drive. Montero will face off against Pirates right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski. Rotowire.com Today, 4:18 pm
