  • Out against left-hander
    Winker is not in the lineup for Friday's tilt versus the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi is starting or the Jays on Friday and he's limited left-handed batters to just a .351 OPS this season. Meanwhile, the lefty-hitting Winker has a .505 OPS against southpaws in 2024. Ildemaro Vargas is in left field. Rotowire.com 11 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 11 minutes ago
     
  • Red Sox activate Vaughn Grissom for 2024 debut
    Red Sox activated INF Vaughn Grissom from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: As expected, the Red Sox will have their dynamic 23-year-old infielder on the field for the first time of the season on Friday night against the Twins. He’ll be starting at second base and batting seventh against Twins’ right-hander Chris Paddack. Grissom hit .333/.444/.400 with a pair of RBI and two stolen bases in 36 plate appearances during his minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Moves up to leadoff spot
    Young will start in center field and bat leadoff in Friday's game versus the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Young batted leadoff a few times last month, but this is the first time since April 19 that a player other than CJ Abrams has been at the top of the batting order (Abrams is hitting second Friday). The Nationals are facing southpaw Yusei Kikuchi, and the right-handed hitting Young is batting .313/.353/.375 versus lefties this season. Rotowire.com 14 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 15 minutes ago

  • Remains on bench Friday
    Meadows is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Meadows has gone 3-for-28 over his past 11 games and will sit Friday for the third time in Detroit's past six contests. Wenceel Perez appears to have claimed an everyday role and will start in center field against New York righty Marcus Stroman. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Sitting against lefty
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Biggio is sitting out for a second consecutive contest, moving to the bench with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the mound for Washington. Instead, Isiah Kiner-Falefa will slide to second base while Ernie Clement mans the hot corner. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago

  • Sitting again
    Velazquez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Velazquez has been less and less of an everyday option for the Royals as the team continues to trot out lineups with Salvador Perez as first, Vinnie Pasquantino at DH and Freddy Fermin behind the dish. Velazquez hasn't done much to warrant an everyday role after starting the season red-hot, with just one hit in his last 27 at-bats. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
