  • DJ LeMahieu (foot) won’t start rehab assignment
    DJ LeMahieu said team doctors don’t feel comfortable having him start a rehab assignment following an MRI on Thursday.

    Advice: Well this sounds a bit ominous. The 35-year-old was slated to begin a rehab assignment this week, but now will stay sidelined until the team feels he’s ready for live action. LeMahieu started the season on the injured list with a fractured right foot and it looks like he’ll need more time before he’s put on the active roster. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago

  • Sits vs. lefty
    Guillorme is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Texas.

    Advice: The 29-year-old started the past two games at second base after Ozzie Albies (toe) was placed on the injured list, but the lefty-hitting Guillorme will sit Friday as southpaw Andrew Heaney pitches for the Rangers. David Fletcher will take over at the keystone and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Devers (knee) is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Pittsburgh, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Devers was diagnosed with a bone bruise on his left knee Thursday and will sit Friday for the third time in Boston's past three games. It's not anticipated the 27-year-old will require a trip to the injured list, but he may not see much action this weekend versus the Pirates. Bobby Dalbec is starting at third base in Devers' absence Friday. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
     
  • Homers in first minors game
    Hernaiz, optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over Tacoma on Thursday.

    Advice: Hernaiz put the first runs of the night on the board in the third inning with his shot to center, which plated Brett Harris. The 22-year-old struggled badly with big-league pitching during his 17-game stint in the majors; however, he got his 2024 minor-league tenure off in a manner akin to his 2023 body of work on the farm, when he fashioned a .319/.384/.454 slash line across 131 games between Double-A Midland and Triple-A Las Vegas.

  • Held out again Friday
    Candelario (illness) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Angels.

    Advice: There's a bug going around the Reds' clubhouse, as Christian Encarnacion-Strand will also miss a second straight game. Consider Candelario day-to-day. Santiago Espinal will be at third base Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:11 am

  • Getting start in right field
    Wisdom will start in right field and bat second in Friday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Fresh off the injured list, the right-handed hitting Wisdom will be thrown right into the mix against left-hander A.J. Puk. Most of the 32-year-old's playing time figures to come against southpaws. Wisdom has a career .813 OPS versus lefties. Rotowire.com Today, 8:58 am

  • Sitting against left-hander
    Busch is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Marlins.

    Advice: With southpaw A.J. Puk toeing the slab for the Marlins, the left-handed hitting Busch will receive a day off. Garrett Cooper will handle the first base position for the Cubs on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:44 am
     
  • Makes rare start
    Peterson started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Giants.

    Advice: Peterson, who extended a hitless run to 18 at-bats, made just his fourth start of the season. The lack of opportunities may explain his .045 batting average. At the time of shortstop Geraldo Perdomo's knee injury earlier this month, the lefty-hitting Peterson was in position to fill a strong side of a platoon but that never materialized. Both Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander continue to get work against right-handers. Rotowire.com Today, 5:58 am
