  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Astros recalled Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

    Advice: Loperfido has hit .333/.381/.436 with one homer and one steal in 15 games with the Astros, although that's come with a 39.5 percent strikeout rate. All of Loperfido's action in the minors lately has come in the outfield, so that figures to be his best path to playing time right now with the big club. He has also been used some at first base.

  • To begin baseball activities
    Carpenter (back) hopes to resume baseball activities Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Carpenter had been shut down since late May due to a lumbar spine stress fracture but is ready to begin baseball activities in the coming days. While he's still a ways out from returning, it's the first advancement he's made since being placed on the IL. Expect Carpenter to require a multi-game minor-league rehab stint before being cleared. In the meantime, Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez should share the outfield with Riley Greene most nights. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago

  • Remains out of action
    Blackmon (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: It's the third straight contest he's missed as he deals with right hamstring tightness. The Rockies have been bullish on Blackmon's chances of avoid the injured list, but he'll have to be ready soon for that to happen. Hunter Goodman is at designated hitter and Sean Bouchard is in right field Friday. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Out of Friday's lineup
    Amador (oblique) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Amador had to be pulled from Thursday's game against the Dodgers with a mild oblique issue. It seems at this point to be more of a day-to-day situation, but between the injury, his slow start and Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) due back soon, Amador looks like an easy drop in most redraft leagues.

  • Has contract selected
    The Marlins selected Sanchez's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday

    Advice: Miami traded for Sanchez on Wednesday and will quickly bring him up to the active roster as the team looks for an answer behind the plate. Christian Bethancourt was designated for assignment in a corresponding move, leaving Nick Fortes -- who's slashing .159/.194/.225 this season -- as Sanchez's only competition at catcher.

  • Back from illness
    Jones (illness) will start in left field and bat sixth in Friday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Jones missed two contests because he was under the weather, but he'll give it a go Friday. The 26-year-old is 5-for-14 with a 2:8 K:BB over six games since returning from the injured list. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago

  • Sitting against lefty
    Verdugo is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Verdugo will dodge a matchup with southpaw Chris Sale on Friday. Instead, Jahmai Jones will bat fifth and fill left field. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
