    • Dominic Smith collects two hits in win over Tigers
      Dominic Smith went 2-for-3 and drove in a run on Friday as the Red Sox defeated the Tigers at Fenway Park.

      Advice: Smith got the Red Sox on the board with a run-scoring double off of Kenta Maeda in the fourth inning, then scored on Ceddanne Rafaela’s three-run blast. The 28-year-old also drew a walk in the contest, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. Even with the strong showing though, he’s still hitting just .198/.278/.284 with one homer and 13 RBI on the season. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
       
    • Scratched with sore thumb
      Schanuel was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Mariners due to left thumb soreness.

      Advice: Schanuel was originally set to start at first base and bat in the leadoff spot Friday, but thumb problems will prevent him from doing so. Willie Calhoun will cover first base in Schanuel's place, moving Matt Thaiss into the DH spot while batting seventh. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
       
    • Nolan Schanuel scratched Friday with sore thumb
      Nolan Schanuel was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup on Friday night due to a sore left thumb.

      Advice: No word yet on the extent of the injury, but since he was in the initial lineup it’s unlikely to be too serious. Willie Calhoun will cover first base in his absence while Matt Thaiss will enter the lineup as the team’s designated hitter against Bryan Woo and the Mariners on Friday night.

    • Starting Friday
      Brooks is starting at first base and batting ninth in Friday's series opener against the Yankees.

      Advice: Brooks will make his second major-league start since being selected from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. He's gone 0-for-3 across his two outings with the Giants, and he'll look for his first hit in the majors Friday against Yankees right-hander Marcus Stroman. Rotowire.com Today, 4:58 pm
       
    • Resting Friday
      LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: After being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, LeMahieu played in all three games against the Angels, going 2-for-9 with three runs and three walks. He'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout, and Oswaldo Cabrera will start at third base and bat eighth against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks. Rotowire.com Today, 4:51 pm

    • Brewers option Owen Miller back to Triple-A
      Brewers optioned INF/OF Owen Miller to Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: With Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) returning from the injured list on Friday, there was no longer room on the bench for Miller. He’ll return to an everyday role at Triple-A Nashville until his services are needed again at the big league level. Rotoworld Today, 3:51 pm

    • Back in lineup Friday
      Hoskins will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth in Friday's game against the White Sox.

      Advice: Hoskins has been out of action since May 13 due to a right hamstring strain, and he was activated off the injured list Friday. He'll face off against White Sox right-hander Erick Fedde. Rotowire.com Today, 3:48 pm
       
    • Brewers activate Rhys Hoskins from 10-day IL
      Brewers activated 1B Rhys Hoskins from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: The 31-year-old slugger will make his triumphant return to the Brewers’ starting lineup on Friday night against the White Sox. Prior to landing on the injured list with a right hamstring strain, Hoskins was hitting .233/.340/.474 with nine homers and 27 RBI through his first 38 games. Rotoworld Today, 3:47 pm
       
    • Sent back to Nashville
      The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

      Advice: Miller was recalled from Nashville earlier in May to provide depth as Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed to the injured list. Now that Hoskins is back, Miller will be pushed back to Triple-A. The 27-year-old infielder has slashed .185/.185/.222 across 27 big-league plate appearances this season, but he figures to be on the shortlist for a return to Milwaukee should the Brewers run into more depth issues.
