    • Aiming for Sunday return
      Candelario (hamstring) is on track to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Candelario hasn't played since Tuesday as he tends to hamstring tendinitis. However, he's set to make his return for the series finale Sunday and will avoid a stint on the IL. In his stead, Noelvi Marte should continue to start at third base while Spencer Steer handles first base work. Rotowire.com Today, 2:50 pm
       
    • Out of lineup Friday
      Bauers is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Cubs.

      Advice: Despite Chicago sending right-hander Jameson Taillon to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting Bauers will begin the game in the dugout. For the month of June, Bauers is slashing .263/.378/.447 with two home runs and eight RBI over 38 at-bats. Rhys Hoskins will start at first base Friday while Christian Yelich serves as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 2:46 pm

    • On bench again
      Raley (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

      Advice: Raley was scratched from Wednesday's game with shoulder soreness and, despite Thursday's team off day, he'll remain out of the starting nine for the series opener against Minnesota. Up to this point, all indications are that the injury isn't of concern. Dominic Canzone, Julio Rodriguez and Mitch Haniger fill the outfield Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:31 pm

    • Tyler Black riding the pine again on Friday night
      Tyler Black is once again riding the pine for Friday night’s matchup against the Cubs in Milwaukee.

      Advice: It’s the fourth consecutive game that the 23-year-old has found himself on the Brewers’ bench for, and with a southpaw on tap for Saturday, you can bet that his streak will extend to five straight games. Unfortunately, it’s looking like the Brewers aren’t going to give him a shot at everyday at-bats. Andruw Monasterio will draw a start at third base and will bat ninth for the Brewers on Friday night against Jameson Taillon and the Cubs. Rotoworld Today, 2:30 pm

    • Sitting against southpaw
      Rice is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Rice will get a breather as southpaw Yusei Kikuchi takes the mound for the Blue Jays. Instead, J.D. Davis will get the start at first base and bat fourth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:15 pm
       
    • Held out again Friday
      Candelario (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.

      Advice: It's the third straight day on the bench for Candelario, who has been dealing with hamstring tendinitis since last week. There are no indications to this point that he might require a trip to the 10-day injured list, so consider him day-to-day for now. Noelvi Marte and Spencer Steer are again handling the infield corners for the Reds on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:12 pm
       
    • Jeimer Candelario (knee) held out again on Friday
      Jeimer Candelario (knee) was held out of the Reds’ starting lineup once again for Friday night’s tilt against the Cardinals.

      Advice: It’s the third straight game that the 30-year-old slugger has missed due to the knee issue. There haven’t been any indications yet that the injury will require a trip to the injured list, but if it lingers through the weekend the Reds may be forced to make a move. Noelvi Marte will start at the hot corner on Friday night while Spencer Steer mans first base for the Reds. Rotoworld Today, 1:09 pm
       
    • Phillies activate Kody Clemens from injured list
      Phillies activated INF Kody Clemens from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Clemens went 8-for-28 with two homers on his rehab assignment. Expect him to start at first base against righties until Bryce Harper returns, giving him a little value in deep leagues. Rotoworld Today, 11:48 am

    • Back from IL
      The Phillies activated Clemens (back) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

      Advice: Clemens has missed most of June with back spasms but is ready to go following a six-game rehab stint which included a pair of home runs. He will give the Phillies an option both at first base and designated hitter while Bryce Harper (hamstring) and Kyle Schwarber (groin) are out. Rotowire.com Today, 11:45 am
