  • White Sox option Zach DeLoach to Triple-A
    White Sox optioned OF Zach DeLoach to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: With the return of Tommy Pham (ankle) from the injured list on Friday, the White Sox needed to clear a spot on their active roster and unfortunately for DeLoach, he was the odd-man out this time around. The 25-year-old hit just .136 (3-for-22) with a double, one RBI and a 9/3 K/BB ratio in 25 plate appearances with the big league club. He’ll return to an everyday role at the Triple-A level until he’s needed once more. Rotoworld Today, 2:41 pm
     
  • 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 Today, 2:38 pm

  • 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.

  • Idle against RHP
    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Houston.

    Advice: McKinstry will give way to the righty-hitting Ryan Kreidler at shortstop Friday despite right-hander Hunter Brown on the mound for the Astros. It'll be Kreidler's third start since Javier Baez (back) got injured, while McKinstry has only had two starts during that stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 2:06 pm

  • Absent from starting nine
    McCarthy is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Despite the right-handed Chris Flexen starting for Chicago, McCarthy will give way to Randal Grichuk in right field. McCarthy had started in five of the D-Backs' previous six games, so it's likely Friday's absence is nothing more than a day off. Rotowire.com Today, 1:36 pm

  • Joey Gallo to undergo MRI on injured hamstring
    Joey Gallo was set to undergo an MRI exam on his injured hamstring on Friday.

    Advice: The results of that exam are not yet known. The 30-year-old slugger sustained the injury on Tuesday while he was running out a ground ball in the seventh inning. While the severity of the injury remains unclear, it sounds like the Nationals expect him to be sidelined for a while this time around. Rotoworld Today, 1:33 pm

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The White Sox optioned DeLoach to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    Advice: DeLoach has gone just 3-for-22 with nine strikeouts during his brief time in the big leagues this season. He wasn't going to be seeing much action with Tommy Pham back from the injured list, so he'll head back to Charlotte where he will play regularly. Rotowire.com Today, 12:57 pm
     
  • Returns from injured list
    The White Sox activated Pham (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Pham wound up being sidelined just a little over the minimum 10 days with a sprained left ankle. With Luis Robert now back to handle center field duties for the White Sox, Pham should see the bulk of his action in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 12:54 pm

  • Out against left-hander
    Sanchez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Nationals.

    Advice: As usual, Sanchez is taking a seat versus a lefty as MacKenzie Gore toes the slab for the Nationals. Dane Myers will patrol right field for the Marlins. Rotowire.com Today, 12:43 pm
