  • Jeremy Peña getting breather against Orioles
    Jeremy Peña is absent from the Astros’ starting lineup for Friday night’s matchup against the Orioles.

    Advice: The 26-year-old shortstop has been a mainstay in the Astros’ lineup this season, so it’s rare to see him getting a night off. Mauricio Dubon will start in his place and will bat seventh for the Astros against Orioles’ right-hander Grayson Rodriguez on Friday evening. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • 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 12 minutes ago
     
  • David Hamilton not in Red Sox’ lineup on Friday
    David Hamilton is not in the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Reds in Cincinnati.

    Advice: The 26-year-old speedster has been battling discomfort in his left side, so it’s possible that they’re just easing him back into action. Or if could be that the Red Sox are facing a left-handed starter in Andrew Abbott. Either way, it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see him pinch-run and still swipe a bag or two on Friday night before all is said and done. Romy Gonzalez will start in his place at shortstop and bat second for the Red Sox on Friday evening. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
     
  • Bryson Stott sits against southpaw on Friday night
    Bryson Stott is not in the Phillies’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: With left-hander Jordan Montgomery toeing the slab for the Diamondbacks, the Phillies will use it as an opportunity to give Stott a breather. Fellow left-handed hitters Brandon Marsh, David Dahl and Garrett Stubbs also find themselves on the pine for the start of this one. Edmundo Sosa will start in Stott’s place at second base and will bat sixth for the Phillies on Friday night. Rotoworld 30 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.

  • On bench against left-hander
    Hamilton is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Cincinnati.

    Advice: The left-handed hitting Hamilton has been an everyday guy lately for the Red Sox, but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Reds send southpaw Andrew Abbott to the bump. Hamilton has also dealt with a side issue this week, so the team could be exercising caution here. Romy Gonzalez will handle shortstop Friday. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
