    • Tyler Black riding the pine again on Friday night
      Tyler Black is once again riding the pine for Friday night’s matchup against the Cubs in Milwaukee.

      Advice: It’s the fourth consecutive game that the 23-year-old has found himself on the Brewers’ bench for, and with a southpaw on tap for Saturday, you can bet that his streak will extend to five straight games. Unfortunately, it’s looking like the Brewers aren’t going to give him a shot at everyday at-bats. Andruw Monasterio will draw a start at third base and will bat ninth for the Brewers on Friday night against Jameson Taillon and the Cubs. Rotoworld Today, 2:30 pm

    • Held out again Friday
      Candelario (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.

      Advice: It's the third straight day on the bench for Candelario, who has been dealing with hamstring tendinitis since last week. There are no indications to this point that he might require a trip to the 10-day injured list, so consider him day-to-day for now. Noelvi Marte and Spencer Steer are again handling the infield corners for the Reds on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:12 pm
       
    • Jeimer Candelario (knee) held out again on Friday
      Jeimer Candelario (knee) was held out of the Reds’ starting lineup once again for Friday night’s tilt against the Cardinals.

      Advice: It’s the third straight game that the 30-year-old slugger has missed due to the knee issue. There haven’t been any indications yet that the injury will require a trip to the injured list, but if it lingers through the weekend the Reds may be forced to make a move. Noelvi Marte will start at the hot corner on Friday night while Spencer Steer mans first base for the Reds. Rotoworld Today, 1:09 pm
       
    • Playing time dipping
      Alexander is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Guardians.

      Advice: After starting each of the first two games upon his recall, the left-handed hitting Alexander has now been out of the lineup for three straight, and they've all been against righties. Nick Loftin is again handling third base and looks to be the preferred option of the two at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 1:03 pm
       
    • Contract selected by Colorado
      The Rockies selected Schunk's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

      Advice: Schunk posted an .811 OPS in his first taste of the Triple-A level and has followed up with a .291/.339/.469 slash line through 69 contests this year. That production has come in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, so the numbers are likely a bit inflated. Schunk will be making his big-league debut when he gets into a game, and he should see some playing time between second and third base while up with the Rockies, though those opportunities could be limited with Brendan Rodgers and Ryan McMahon currently healthy.

    • Rockies call up Aaron Schunk for utility role
      Rockies selected the contract of INF Aaron Schunk from Triple-A Albuquerque.

      Advice: Coco Montes gets bypassed again, even though he had 150 points of OPS on Schunk in Triple-A. Strictly a third and second baseman previously, Schunk has seen some time at shortstop this year to prepare for a possible future as a utilityman. The 26-year-old former second-round pick was batting .291/.339/.469 for Albuquerque. Rotoworld Today, 12:41 pm
       
    • Dropped from 40-man roster
      The Rockies designated Trejo for assignment Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Trejo had seen semi-regular playing time in June while Brendan Rodgers was injured, but he went just 6-for-29 (.207) with four runs and an RBI since the start of the month. Trejo will hand over his spot on the 40-man and 26-man roster to Aaron Schunk, who'll provide some infield depth for the Rockies. Rotowire.com Today, 12:37 pm

    • Rockies designate Alan Trejo for assignment
      Rockies designated INF Alan Trejo for assignment.

      Advice: Trejo lost his 40-man spot over the winter, only to make the Rockies as non-roster player this spring. Alas, he hit just .143/.182/.143 in 67 plate appearances in his utility role. Trejo is a fine defender, but since he has so little to offer offensively, he’ll probably clear waivers again. Rotoworld Today, 12:37 pm

    • Homers in win Thursday
      Sano went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-0 victory against Detroit on Thursday.

      Advice: Sano got a second straight start and put the Angels on the board in the first inning with a solo shot to center field. On a less positive note, the veteran slugger struck out in his other three at-bats, and he's fanned five times over nine plate appearances since returning from the injured list June 25. Sano's big-league resume suggests he can offer the Angels plenty of pop, but his 40 percent strikeout rate on the campaign highlights his primary weakness as a hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 10:32 am
