  • Idle again
    Naylor is out of the lineup Friday against Toronto.

    Advice: Naylor will ride the pine for a second consecutive game, giving way to Austin Hedges behind the dish Friday. Naylor is 5-for-28 (.178) in his last nine games with a 36.7 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. Rotowire.com Just now
     
  • Day off Friday
    Pena is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Orioles.

    Advice: Pena has managed just two hits over his last 32 at-bats, so it's probably not a bad time to give him a day to regroup. Mauricio Dubon will hold down shortstop for the Astros on Friday. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Idle Friday
    Fry is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: After making three straight starts -- one at catcher, two at DH -- Fry will take a seat Friday. Steven Kwan will DH and lead off while Austin Hedges catches and bats ninth. After batting .383 with seven homers in May, Fry has cooled off significantly in June, batting .208 without a home run in 52 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago

  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Cowser is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Houston.

    Advice: It marks two straight games that he's been absent from the lineup, and both of them have come against right-handed pitching. After putting up a 1.004 OPS in April, Cowser has just a .603 OPS since May 1. Ryan O'Hearn is in left field and Cedric Mullins is in center Friday. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Gleyber Torres (groin) held out of lineup Friday
    Gleyber Torres (groin) was held out of the Yankees’ starting lineup for Friday’s tilt against the Braves.

    Advice: The 27-year-old infielder made an early exit on Thursday due to tightness in his groin. While it’s considered a minor issue and isn’t likely to land him on the injured list, he’s going to need at least a couple of days before he’s ready to return to action. Oswaldo Cabrera will cover second base in his absence on Friday night and will bat ninth against Chris Sale and the Braves. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

  • Sent on rehab assignment
    Bart (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bart will see game action for the first time since being placed on the 10-day IL on May 28, a significant step forward in his recovery from a Grade 1 sprained thumb on his glove hand. Once he's cleared to rejoin the Pirates, Bart should push Jason Delay out of the catching mix. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Andrew Benintendi gets a night off on Friday
    Andrew Benintendi is not in the White Sox’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Tigers in Motown.

    Advice: It’s unusually to see Benintendi on the pine against a right-handed starter, but it looks to be nothing more than a regular day of maintenance for the 29-year-old outfielder. Tommy Pham will slide over and cover left field, with Gavin Sheets drawing a start in right and Oscar Colas getting a rare start in center field for the White Sox. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Absent from lineup again
    Velazquez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Rangers.

    Advice: The hot-hitting Freddy Fermin will make a second straight start at designated hitter. Velazquez has just a .401 OPS so far in June and has now been absent from the lineup for seven of 18 games this month. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Astros recalled OF Joey Loperfido from Triple-A
    Astros recalled OF Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: The Astros needed a position player with the amount of injuries they’ve had. Loperfido hit .333 with one home run and five RBI in 39 at-bats in his first taste of the majors earlier this year. The 25-year-old could have fantasy value in mixed leagues if he’s able to stick in the lineup this time around. It’s either said than done, but he’ll have a real chance with Jose Abreu out of the picture and Kyle Tucker still on the injured list. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
