    • Idle again
      Naylor is out of the lineup Friday against Toronto.

      Advice: Naylor will ride the pine for a second consecutive game, giving way to Austin Hedges behind the dish Friday. Naylor is 5-for-28 (.178) in his last nine games with a 36.7 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
       
    • 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 5 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 6 minutes ago
       
    • Idle Friday
      Fry is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: After making three straight starts -- one at catcher, two at DH -- Fry will take a seat Friday. Steven Kwan will DH and lead off while Austin Hedges catches and bats ninth. After batting .383 with seven homers in May, Fry has cooled off significantly in June, batting .208 without a home run in 52 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

    • TJ Friedl (hamstring) returns to action on Friday
      TJ Friedl (hamstring) returned to the Reds’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Friedl had missed each of the team’s last two games due to tightness in his hamstring. The 28-year-old outfielder has struggled to stay on the field this season, managing to hit .214/.320/.381 with four homers, 15 RBI and six stolen bases in just 23 games in-between stints on the injured list. He’s starting in left field and batting leadoff for the Reds on Friday night against Kutter Crawford and the Red Sox. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago

    • Not in Friday's lineup
      Cowser is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Houston.

      Advice: It marks two straight games that he's been absent from the lineup, and both of them have come against right-handed pitching. After putting up a 1.004 OPS in April, Cowser has just a .603 OPS since May 1. Ryan O'Hearn is in left field and Cedric Mullins is in center Friday. Rotowire.com 10 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 12 minutes ago
       
    • Making second rehab appearance
      Faedo (hip) is scheduled to pitch at Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Faedo threw a scoreless inning Wednesday in his first minor-league outing and is in line to pitch again Saturday in what could be his final appearance at Toledo. Faedo owns a 3.38 ERA, six holds and a 3-1 record across 34.2 innings with the Tigers. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

    • Alex Verdugo sits against left-hander on Friday
      Alex Verdugo is not in the Yankees’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Braves.

      Advice: While Verdugo started each of the team’s last two games against left-handed starters, he’ll get a breather with tough southpaw Chris Sale taking the hill for the Braves on Friday night. Verdugo is enjoying a solid season for the Bombers’, slashing .254/.309/.413 with nine homers and 41 RBI through his first 74 ballgames. Jahmai Jones will start in his place in left field and bat fifth for the Yankees on Friday evening in the Bronx. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
