  • 3-3-0 5th Place
    • Sent to Triple-A
      The Dodgers optioned Outman to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

      Advice: After a successful 2023 campaign, Outman has struggled mightily to begin 2024, slashing just .147/.250/.266 across 124 plate appearances. He'll now look to get back on track in the minors, though a significant turnaround would likely be required before the Dodgers consider calling him back up. Outman's demotion likely spells consistent playing time in center field for Andy Pages and clears a roster spot for Jason Heyward (back) to return from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 4:06 pm

    • Dodgers option James Outman to Triple-A OKC
      Dodgers optioned OF James Outman to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

      Advice: With Jason Heyward returning on Friday night, something had to give in the Dodgers’ outfield and Andy Pages was simply hitting too well to be sent down. That left Outman — who was slashing just .147/.250/.266 with three homers, 10 RBI and a pair of swipes — as the odd-man out this time around. He’ll look to get his season back on track at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld Today, 4:00 pm

    • Joc Pederson scratched from D’Backs’ lineup Friday
      Joc Pederson was scratched from the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Tigers.

      Advice: No word has been given yet for the late switch, but it’s possible that the Diamondbacks simply thought better of putting him out there against tough left-hander Tarik Skubal. Jake McCarthy will start in his place in right field while Randal Grichuk will function as the team’s designated hitter. Rotoworld Today, 2:59 pm
       
    • Scratched Friday
      Pederson was scratched from Arizona's lineup ahead of Friday's game versus the Tigers.

      Advice: Manager Torey Lovullo emphasized that Pederson is not injured, the skipper simply wanted to use him off the bench instead during Friday's contest, per Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com. While Pederson sits, Randal Grichuk will serve as Arizona's DH, and Jake McCarthy will fill the opening in right field, batting seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 2:53 pm
       
    • Outrighted to Charlotte
      Ortega cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Charlotte, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: Ortega held the right to decline his outright assignment and elect free agency, but he will instead remain within the White Sox organization and look to turn things around in the minors. The 33-year-old went 1-for-14 during his stint with the Sox, but he has slashed .241/.378/.431 with 14 RBI through 75 plate appearances with Charlotte. Rotowire.com Today, 2:39 pm
       
    • Evan Carter (back) available off bench on Friday
      Evan Carter (back) was held out of the Rangers’ starting lineup once again on Friday night, but will be available off the bench.

      Advice: The 21-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since Saturday due to stiffness in his lower back. The good news is that he’s progressing and won’t require a trip to the injured list, and likely wouldn’t have been in the starting lineup anyways on Friday with left-hander Tyler Anderson taking the ball for the Angels. Expect Carter to return to the starting lineup at some point over the weekend. Rotoworld Today, 2:30 pm

    • Available off bench Friday
      Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that Carter (back) is available off the bench for Friday's series opener against the Angels, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Carter hasn't played since May 10 against the Rockies due to lower-back inflammation. He received a cortisone shot Monday, and while he won't be starting Friday, he could make a return to the lineup over the weekend. Carter is slashing .216/.303/.416 with six doubles, five home runs and 15 RBI over 142 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 2:23 pm

    • Joey Gallo (shoulder) rejoins Nationals on Friday
      Nationals activated 1B/OF Joey Gallo from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: The 30-year-old slugger had been sidelined since late April with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. Prior to landing on the shelf, he was hitting just .122/.286/.311 with three homers, five RBI, one stolen base and a 43/15 K/BB ratio across 91 plate appearances. He’ll start at first base and bat cleanup against Zack Wheeler and the Phillies on Friday evening in Philadelphia. Rotoworld Today, 2:05 pm

    • White Sox recall Corey Julks from Triple-A
      White Sox recalled OF Corey Julks from Triple-A Charlotte.

      Advice: The 28-year-old outfielder was just acquired from the Astros on Wednesday and it didn’t take him long to earn a promotion to the big league club. Julks has hit .266/.358/.444 with five home runs and six swipes in 148 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. He could become an interesting option in deep leagues if he earns regular playing time with the White Sox. Rotoworld Today, 2:03 pm
