    • Eloy Jiménez (hamstring) facing ‘extended absence’
      White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters Thursday that Eloy Jiménez (hamstring) is facing an extended absence.

      Advice: Grifol didn’t divulge a specific timeline, but it certainly sounds like Jiménez is going to wind up missing at least a couple months due to a left hamstring strain. The 27-year-old hasn’t gotten going at the dish this season after a strong spring training performance, posting a lackluster .668 OPS with five homers in 146 plate appearances. He can be safely dropped in all re-draft fantasy formats at this juncture. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago

    • Due for extended absence
      Manager Pedro Grifol didn't have a specific timeline Thursday for Jimenez's (hamstring) return, but he said it would be an extended absence, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

      Advice: The news of the absence being extended comes with the White Sox finding out Jimenez 's hamstring was beat up a decent amount. Grifol guessed that the absence would be a little shorter than they have been without Luis Robert. Jimenez's injury occurred when he tweaked the hamstring while running the bases in Tuesday's game in Toronto. The 27-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamstring strain. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

    • Jarred Kelenic homers, Braves shut out Cubs
      Jarred Kelenic slugged a go-ahead solo homer on Thursday, powering the Braves to a 3-0 victory over the Cubs.

      Advice: Kelenic connected for a tie-breaking fifth-inning solo shot to right-center field off Cubs reliever Hayden Wesneski. It was just third round-tripper of the season and wound up being one of just 10 hits combined in a rare low-scoring afternoon showdown at Wrigley Field. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
       
    • Nick Martini homers in extra-inning loss to Padres
      Nick Martini went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in a loss in extra-innings to the Padres on Thursday.

      Advice: Martini stirred things up (sorry) with his two-run shot, as it tied the game at 4-4 in the sixth inning. The 33-year-old has gone deep deep four times, but his line of .184/.204/.356 tells the story of how little fantasy value he offers. Pretty good pun at the start of this, however.

    • Getting breather Thursday
      Canha isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Thursday's game versus Toronto.

      Advice: Canha will get a day to regroup after going 0-for-15 with five strikeouts across his past four games. Matt Vierling, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter will start across the outfield while Riley Greene serves as Detroit's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 11:40 am

    • Losing out on playing time
      Nevin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Nevin seems to have lost hold of an everyday role in the Oakland outfield; he's now been on the bench in five consecutive matchups versus right-handed pitching. The 26-year-old should at least continue to see regular starts against left-handed pitching as a platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Seth Brown. Rotowire.com Today, 11:02 am

    • Gaining foothold in lineup
      Goodman will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Thursday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Goodman will make his fourth start in five games -- and his third at DH -- after going 4-for-12 with two doubles, an RBI, a run and a stolen base across his prior three contests. His inclusion in the lineup Thursday comes while the Rockies are resting four key regulars (Kris Bryant, Charlie Blackmon, Elias Diaz and Brendan Rodgers), but Goodman's recent usage suggests that he'll be a priority in the lineup over Elehuris Montero, who didn't start either of the past two days following Bryant's return from the injured list.

    • Receiving Thursday off
      Bryant is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Bryant will be joined on the bench by Elias Diaz, Charlie Blackmon and Brendan Rodgers as the Rockies rest four key regulars for the day game after a night game. After being activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Bryant started at first base in both of the first two games of the series in Oakland, going 1-for-8 with two walks between the contests. Elehuris Montero will replace Bryant at first base Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:44 am
       
    • Getting breather Thursday
      Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Blackmon will be joined on the bench by Elias Diaz, Kris Bryant and Brendan Rodgers as the Rockies rest four key regulars for the day game after a night game. Hunter Goodman will pick up the start at designated hitter in place of Blackmon. Rotowire.com Today, 10:42 am
