    • Lars Nootbaar starting rehab assignment on Friday
      Lars Nootbaar (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday with Double-A Springfield.

      Advice: Nootbaar told reporters Thursday that he expects to play at least five or six rehab contests before returning to the majors. The 26-year-old corner outfielder has been on the shelf since late May recovering from a moderate oblique strain. He’s been snake-bitten by injuries this season, but remains an impactful fantasy contributor, when healthy. Rotoworld Today, 3:01 pm

    • Brandon Drury out again Thursday due to illness
      Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Tigers.

      Advice: It’s honestly a total mystery why Drury hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet since he’s set to miss his seventh consecutive contest since last Wednesday due to an ongoing battle with a respiratory virus. At this point it’s unclear when he’ll be ready to return. Rotoworld Today, 2:55 pm

    • Not starting Thursday
      Drury (illness) isn't in the Angels' lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Drury will be missing his seventh consecutive game as he continues to fight off an upper-respiratory virus. There hasn't been any sort of indication from the Angels that they will place him on the injured list, so the 31-year-old should still be considered day-to-day. Luis Rengifo will start at second base Thursday with Miguel Sano at third. Rotowire.com Today, 2:54 pm

    • Guardians recall prospect José Tena on Thursday
      Guardians recalled INF José Tena from Triple-A Columbus.

      Advice: Tena got a quick 18-game cup of coffee last year in the majors, batting .226 (7-for-31) with three RBI across 34 plate appearances. The 23-year-old infielder gets another look in the big leagues after batting .293/.341/.480 with 14 homers and 10 steals over 326 plate appearances for Triple-A Columbus. It’s unclear how long he’s going to stick around as part of Cleveland’s overcrowded infield mix. Rotoworld Today, 2:45 pm
       
    • Will Brennan to IL with rib cage inflammation
      Guardians placed OF Will Brennan on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 25, with rib cage inflammation.

      Advice: Brennan heads to the injured list after missing a couple games earlier this week due to a possible oblique issue. He’s been diagnosed with rib cage inflammation, so the hope here is that he isn’t facing a lengthy absence. There should be an official return timetable in the coming days.

    • Beginning assignment Friday
      Nootbaar (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield on Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Nootbaar said he expects his rehab assignment to last roughly six games, which would put him in line to return to the active roster July 5 for the beginning of St. Louis' series with the Nationals. The 26-year-old outfielder has spent nearly a month on the injured list after straining his left oblique during a game in late May. Rotowire.com Today, 2:36 pm

    • Jake Fraley sitting out Thursday with calf injury
      Jake Fraley (calf) is absent from the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Fraley underwent an MRI on his right calf on Thursday and the club is still awaiting the results. The 29-year-old corner outfielder was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup due to a lower leg contusion. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days and it wouldn’t be shocking to see him wind up requiring a trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Today, 2:19 pm
       
    • Gleyber Torres remains out of Thursday’s lineup
      Gleyber Torres (groin) remains out of the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Torres will sit out his second straight contest due to an ongoing groin issue, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters he expects him back in the lineup on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 2:15 pm
       
    • Undergoes MRI on calf
      Fraley underwent and MRI on his right calf Thursday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: It's not clear what the result of the exam revealed or if they're in yet, but Fraley will miss a second straight start Thursday after being a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup. Santiago Espinal is getting the call at designated hitter for Cincinnati. Rotowire.com Today, 2:03 pm
