  • Michael Harris II not cleared to resume running
    Michael Harris II (hamstring) has been throwing and taking swings but has yet to be cleared to resume running.

    Advice: The dynamic 23-year-old outfielder is making progress in his recovery from a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, but it’s hard to put a clear timetable on a potential return to the Braves’ lineup until he starts running again. Expect Ramon Laureano to continue to see increased playing time in the Braves’ outfield at least through the All-Star break. Rotoworld Today, 3:32 pm

  • Swing test pushed back
    Jung (wrist) will have his swing test pushed back to Saturday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Jung was slated to swing a bat Friday, but he'll have that evaluation pushed back a day. He has been on the injured list since April 2 with a fractured right wrist, and his rehab program with Triple-A Round Rock was shut down due to tendon inflammation. Jung could be activated off the injured list soon if his swing test Saturday goes well, though he'll likely be eased back into the action with planned off days if he does return.

  • Byron Buxton not in Twins’ lineup on Friday
    Byron Buxton is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Mariners in Seattle.

    Advice: The Twins have been sure to mix in the occasional off-day into Buxton’s schedule this season as a way to keep him healthy and fresh. It’s an interesting spot for one though after he went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer on Thursday afternoon. Expect him to return to the starting lineup on Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 2:21 pm
     
  • Receiving breather
    Buxton is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Seattle.

    Advice: Buxton has 11 hits in his last seven games, including three homers and four doubles. However, he'll take a seat Friday after making five consecutive starts. Manuel Margot will bat eighth and play center field. Rotowire.com Today, 2:16 pm
     
  • Starting Friday
    Correa (wrist) is playing shortstop and batting second Friday against Seattle.

    Advice: Correa was removed from Thursday's game after being hit by a pitch, but he won't require a day off due to the bruised right wrist. He went 4-for-9 with four runs and two RBI during the Twins' three-game series against Arizona. Rotowire.com Today, 2:10 pm
     
  • Carlos Correa (wrist) returns to lineup on Friday
    Carlos Correa (wrist) returned to the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Mariners.

    Advice: The 29-year-old shortstop was drilled in the right wrist by a fastball during Thursday’s game against the Diamondbacks. Correa told reporters afterwards that he was fine though and that he planned to play on Friday, and true to his word he’s in the lineup and batting second against Logan Gilbert and the M’s on Friday evening in Seattle. On the season, Correa is slashing a healthy .309/.380/.494 to go along with eight homers and 38 RBI in 267 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 2:08 pm
     
  • Yet to resume running
    Harris (hamstring) has not yet been cleared to begin a running program, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Harris is two weeks removed from suffering a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, and while he's feeling better, it's not yet to the point where he's able to do any running. With just over two weeks until the All-Star break, it's possible Atlanta will hold Harris out until the start of the second half. Jarred Kelenic has been handling center field with Harris out.

  • Will swing bat Friday
    Jung (wrist) will attempt to swing a bat Friday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Jung's return has been delayed due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right wrist, but he's ready to test things out swinging a bat after resting for a week and receiving a cortisone shot. The third baseman could be activated soon if things go well in the cage Friday, but when Jung does return he might be eased back into action by playing every other day or receiving one off day per series, according to Grant. Jung has been sidelined since early April. Rotowire.com Today, 11:57 am

The center fielder has now collected multiple hits in six of his last 16 starts, batting .355 (22-for-62) with nine extra-base hits including four homers, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and three steals during that stretch.
