    • Thairo Estrada could be heading to injured list
      Thairo Estrada is not in the Giants’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Unfortunately, it sounds like it could be something more than a routine night off for Estrada and the 28-year-old infielder could be heading to the injured list. Brett Wisely will start in his place and will bat eighth against Landon Knack and the Dodgers on Friday evening in San Francisco. Rotoworld Today, 4:22 pm

    • Not starting Friday
      Malloy is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: Malloy will begin Friday's contest in the dugout after going 0-for-3 with one strikeout in Thursday's 5-0 loss. Over his last 10 games, he's gone just 2-for-25 with a 40.7 percent strikeout rate. Colt Keith will serve as the designated hitter Friday while Andy Ibanez starts at second base against Angels right-hander Zach Plesac. Rotowire.com Today, 3:32 pm
       
    • Garrett Mitchell’s rehab assignment nearly over
      Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy noted on Friday that the final day for Garrett Mitchell’s (finger) minor league rehab assignment is on Saturday.

      Advice: Murphy also told reporters that there haven’t been any discussions about activating the 25-year-old outfielder and optioning him to Triple-A Nashville. That means that the Brewers will have some decisions to make about their roster before the weekend is through. Rotoworld Today, 3:27 pm
       
    • Jeimer Candelario (knee) expected to return Sunday
      Reds’ manager David Bell told reporters on Friday that Jeimer Candelario (knee) is expected to return to the starting lineup on Sunday.

      Advice: Candelario has missed each of the team’s last three games due to a knee issue and he’ll sit on Saturday as well. The team doesn’t want him to miss a full 10 days though and they’re very hopeful that he’ll be able to return to action on Sunday. Fantasy mangers may still want to sit him through the weekend though to be on the safe side if alternative options are available. Rotoworld Today, 3:24 pm
       
    • Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of Angels lineup

      Advice: It’s the eighth consecutive game that Drury has missed due to illness — though he’s said to be making progress and getting closer to a return. Luis Guillorme will start in his place at second base on Friday night and will bat ninth against Kenta Maeda and the Tigers. Rotoworld Today, 3:20 pm
