    • Ready to return to lineup
      Lowe (toe) went 0-for-1 with a strikeout Friday against the Nationals.

      Advice: Lowe has been out of the lineup for five straight games with a fractured pinky toe, and Friday's appearance as a pinch hitter was his first since suffering the injury. Manager Kevin Cash said that Lowe was physically capable of being a starter, but Lowe remained on the bench due to a matchup against lefty Mitchell Parker, per MLB.com. Lowe wore a protective guard over his right cleat. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:36 am
       
    • Brandon Lowe strikes out as pinch-hitter on Friday
      Brandon Lowe (toe) struck out as a pinch-hitter during Friday’s game against the Nationals.

      Advice: Lowe has been held out of Tampa Bay’s lineup for the last five games as he recovers from a broken right toe, but it doesn’t appear that he’s going to require a trip to the injured list. He should be back in the lineup at some point this weekend. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:02 am
       
    • Heston Kjerstad not in Orioles lineup on Friday
      Heston Kjerstad is not in the Orioles’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Rangers.

      Advice: The 25-year-old slugger went 2-for-3 with a homer, walk, two runs scored and three RBI on Thursday night, so his reward appears to be a spot next to Orioles’ skipper Brandon Hyde on the bench on Friday night. Colton Cowser will start in his place in left field and bat fifth against Max Scherzer and the Rangers on Friday evening in Baltimore. Rotoworld Friday, 1:34 pm
       
    • Taking seat Friday
      Kjerstad is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

      Advice: Kjerstad clubbed his first home run of the season in Thursday's win over the Rangers in what was his third straight start against a right-hander. However, he will begin this one on the bench versus Texas righty Max Scherzer. Colton Cowser will occupy left field for the Orioles. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:28 pm
       
    • Idle Friday
      Gordon is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Philadelphia.

      Advice: Gordon will get a breather Friday after making six straight starts, collecting a hit in each contest. Bryan De La Cruz will play left field and lead off against the Phillies. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:28 pm
       
    • Jose Iglesias remains on bench Friday
      Jose Iglesias is out of the Mets lineup in favor of Jeff McNeil for a fifth straight game Friday.

      Advice: McNeil had a sac fly in five plate appearances during last night’s 12-2 rout, buying him at least another week of starts. Iglesias is hitting .400/.447/.457 in 38 plate appearances, the last of which came six days ago. He probably will get a start Saturday with the Mets due to face a lefty.

    • Held out again Friday
      Lowe (toe) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: Lowe hasn't played since suffering a fractured right pinky toe June 22. The Rays are facing a lefty in Mitchell Parker on Friday, so Lowe might not have been in the lineup anyway. If he remains out Saturday against righty Jake Irvin, a stint on the injured list may have to be considered. Jose Caballero is at second base Friday. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:07 pm
       
    • Brandon Lowe on bench again Friday
      Brandon Lowe (toe) isn’t starting for Friday’s game against the Nationals.

      Advice: Lowe hasn’t played since June 22nd after breaking his pinkie toe. He also battled an illness earlier this week. Tampa Bay is also facing a left-hander starter in Mitchell Parker. The Rays haven’t put Lowe on the IL yet so hopefully he can return to the lineup soon. Jose Caballero will get the start at second base and bat seventh on Friday. Rotoworld Friday, 12:03 pm
       
    • Hits first homer of season
      Kjerstad went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, two total runs and a walk Thursday in an 11-2 rout of the Rangers.

      Advice: Kjerstad kicked off a big offensive game by Baltimore with a run-scoring single in the first inning and added a two-run homer in the third. The long ball was the first of the season for the 24-year-old, who returned from the minors Monday following a largely unsuccessful stint in the majors earlier in the campaign. Kjerstad's second go-round has been much better than his first so far, as he's gone 4-for-11 with two extra-base hits across four games since his most recent call-up. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:05 pm
