  • Luis Garcia Jr. sits against left-hander on Friday
    Luis Garcia Jr. is not in the Nationals’ starting lineup on Friday night with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi toeing the slab for the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Like Garcia, fellow left-handers Jesse Winker and Eddie Rosario will get a night off with the southpaw on the hill for the Jays. Trey Lipscomb will make a rare start at second base and will bat ninth in Garcia’s place while Nick Senzel covers the hot corner for the Nationals. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

    The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Advice: The 25-year-old was sent to St. Paul on Monday but will quickly rejoin the Twins as Byron Buxton (knee) landed on the injured list. Martin, Manuel Margot and Willi Castro could all see action in center field while Buxton is unavailable. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

  • Twins recall Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul
    Twins recalled INF/OF Austin Martin from Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: The versatile 25-year-old was just optioned out to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, but he’ll return to add depth on the Twins’ bench with Byron Buxton (knee) landing on the injured list.

  • Brandon Drury (head) remains out of action Friday
    Brandon Drury (migraine) remains out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Guardians.

    Advice: It’s unclear if Drury is sitting again because he’s still dealing with the migraine issue, or if manager Ron Washington simply wanted to go a different direction with right-hander Tanner Bibee on the hill for the Guardians on Friday night. Luis Rengifo will cover second base in his absence while Willie Calhoun functions as the Halos’ designated hitter. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago

  • Sidelined again Friday
    Drury (migraine) isn't part of Friday's lineup against the Guardians.

    Advice: Drury was scratched from Wednesday's contest due to a migraine, and while it hasn't been confirmed that it's the injury holding him out of Friday's game, it can be assumed that that's the case. Luis Rengifo will make another start at second with Ehire Adrianza over at third. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago

  • Starting sixth straight game
    Perez is starting in center field and batting third Friday against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Perez has a .333/.400/.694 slash line over his past 10 contests and is starting Friday for the sixth consecutive game. He's seen most of his playing time in right field this season but is making his second straight start in center amid Parker Meadows' offensive struggles. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
     
  • Starting rehab stint Tuesday
    Lowe (oblique) will start his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reported Friday.

    Advice: Lowe has been sidelined since April 7 with a strained right oblique but will get back to game action Tuesday at Durham. Until he rejoins the big league club, expect Amed Rosario and Curtis Mead to continue seeing most of the action at second base. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
