    • Idle against southpaw
      Heyward is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: Heyward is 2-for-19 in his last five starts and will take a seat Friday with lefty Cole Ragans on the mound for Kansas City. Chris Taylor, Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernandez will fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
       
    • Looks sharp Friday
      Hendricks tossed 4.1 scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Cardinals. He allowed two hits and struck out one.

      Advice: Chicago starter Jordan Hicks departed after just 1.2 innings due to an oblique injury, which pushed Hendricks into action. The veteran responded well and had perhaps his best outing of the season. While Hendricks still has an ugly 8.20 ERA overall, he's been better lately with 8.2 scoreless innings over his last three appearances. However, Hendricks still has limited fantasy appeal in his current long-relief role. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting versus lefty
      Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Friday versus the Royals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

      Advice: With southpaw Cole Ragans on the mound for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Lux will watch the beginning of Friday's contest from Los Angeles' dugout. Miguel Rojas will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

    • Elects free agency
      Bowman cleared waivers and elected free agency Friday.

      Advice: The Mariners designated Bowman for assignment Tuesday and after going unclaimed, the 33-year-old will try his luck on the open market. He's already seen action with three MLB clubs this season, combining to pitch 15.0 innings with a 5.40 ERA during stints with Arizona, Minnesota and Seattle. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
       
    • Tommy Pham (ankle) returns to White Sox’ lineup
      White Sox activated OF Tommy Pham from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: The 36-year-old outfielder will jump right back into the leadoff spot in the White Sox’ lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Diamondbacks. Pham has been one of the best hitters in the team’s lineup this season — hitting .280/.331/.403 with three homers, 12 RBI and three stolen bases through his first 33 contests.

    • Reinstated from IL
      Jones (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

      Advice: Jones has been on the injured list since April 30 due to back stiffness. His initial rehab assignment was halted May 21 due to right knee soreness stemming from a slide, but he was able to resume activities June 3. Jones appeared in nine games for his second rehab stint with Triple-A Albuquerque, going 8-for-33 with three doubles, one home run and five RBI. The 26-year-old will be available for Friday's series opener against the Pirates. To make room for Jones, Colorado placed Elias Diaz on the 10-day IL with a left calf strain, retroactive to June 11.

    • Won't undergo surgery
      Manager David Bell said Friday that Williamson will not undergo surgery on his left shoulder, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Surgery to remove a lesion from Williamson's left shoulder would have put an early ending to his season before it even started, but the lefty will instead decline the procedure in an effort to return to the Reds' rotation as soon as possible. The 26-year-old southpaw will receive injections in his shoulder and be shut down from throwing for the next three weeks. At that point, the Reds will re-evaluate him and determine his next steps.

    • Batting seventh in return
      Ortiz (hamstring) is playing third base and batting seventh Friday against the Reds.

      Advice: Ortiz missed a pair of contests with a sore right hamstring, but is back in the Brewers' lineup following the team's day off. In 12 games before sustaining the injury, Ortiz went 14-for-43 (.326) with seven runs, five RBI and three stolen bases. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

    • Brandon Williamson decides against shoulder surgery
      Reds’ manager David Bell told reporters on Friday that Brandon Williamson has opted against having season-ending surgery on his left shoulder.

      Advice: Instead, the 26-year-old southpaw will get injections and will be shut down from throwing for the next three weeks before starting to build back up. It’s unclear if it will work out for him in the long run, but Williamson at least wants to try this route first before going under the knife. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
