    • Aiming for Sunday return
      Candelario (hamstring) is on track to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Candelario hasn't played since Tuesday as he tends to hamstring tendinitis. However, he's set to make his return for the series finale Sunday and will avoid a stint on the IL. In his stead, Noelvi Marte should continue to start at third base while Spencer Steer handles first base work. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

    • Sitting down against lefty
      Pederson isn't in Arizona's lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Pederson will step out of the lineup Friday as the A's prepare to send southpaw JP Sears to the mound. Blaze Alexander will fill in as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter and bat second. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
       
    • Expected to play Saturday
      Fraley (calf) is expected to be back in the lineup Saturday at St. Louis, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Fraley has missed two consecutive contests with a right calf contusion, but he's on track to return Saturday. Santiago Espinal has drawn the start at DH in Fraley's place. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

    • Sitting against lefty
      McCarthy isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Left-hander JP Sears will toe the slab Friday for the A's, meaning the lefty-hitting McCarthy will head to the bench to begin the game. Randal Grichuk will start in right field instead and bat fifth. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
       
    • Out of lineup Friday
      Bauers is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Cubs.

      Advice: Despite Chicago sending right-hander Jameson Taillon to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting Bauers will begin the game in the dugout. For the month of June, Bauers is slashing .263/.378/.447 with two home runs and eight RBI over 38 at-bats. Rhys Hoskins will start at first base Friday while Christian Yelich serves as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

    • Throwing at 90 feet
      Matzek (elbow) has been playing catch from 90 feet, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Matzek has been shelved since May 7 due to inflammation in his left elbow, but has been slowly progressing since. He's yet to throw off a mound and isn't anywhere close to returning at this point. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

    • Not in lineup Friday
      Ortiz (neck) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Cubs.

      Advice: Ortiz has been dealing with a neck injury since last week's series against the Angels, and he was removed in the sixth inning of Wednesday's game against the Rangers after going 0-for-2. Despite having the day off Thursday, Ortiz will be in the dugout for at least the series opener. Andruw Monasterio will start at third base Friday and bat ninth against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

    • Selected to MLB roster
      The Cubs selected Lopez's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: After being released by the Mets in unceremonious fashion, Lopez signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs on June 12. He allowed three runs in one inning during a game in the Arizona Complex League, but he bounced back by throwing 2.2 scoreless frames at Triple-A Iowa. Now that he's back in the majors, the 31-year-old right-hander will presumably work in middle relief. Vinny Nittoli was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

    • On bench again
      Raley (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

      Advice: Raley was scratched from Wednesday's game with shoulder soreness and, despite Thursday's team off day, he'll remain out of the starting nine for the series opener against Minnesota. Up to this point, all indications are that the injury isn't of concern. Dominic Canzone, Julio Rodriguez and Mitch Haniger fill the outfield Friday. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
