    • Late addition to lineup
      Yastrzemski (elbow) is batting seventh and playing right field Friday against Cleveland.

      Advice: Yastrzemski was initially left out of the Giants lineup Friday, but a revised version of the starting nine has Yastrzemski in right field. The 33-year-old exited Thursday's game against Atlanta after being hit by a pitch, but he won't have to miss any time due to the injury. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:02 pm
       
    • Remaining on rehab assignment
      Nootbaar (oblique) will remain on his rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield for at least a couple more days to work on his timing at the plate, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The initial expectation was that Nootbaar would rejoin the Cardinals on the road for their weekend series against the Nationals, but he's evidently not satisfied with his swing and will work to fine-tune things for a bit longer. It now seems likely that Nootbaar will return July 9 when the Cardinals are back home. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:41 pm
       
    • Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) held out of lineup Friday
      Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) was held out of the Giants’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Guardians in Cleveland.

      Advice: The 33-year-old outfielder was pulled from Thursday’s game as a precautionary measure after being hit in the elbow by a pitch. It sounds like Yastrzemski was able to avoid any significant injury, but he’s still a bit sore and will sit against right-hander Tanner Bibee on Friday night. Luis Matos will start in his place in right field and will bat seventh for the Giants on Friday evening. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:13 pm
       
    • Ramón Laureano (back) remains out of Braves lineup
      Ramón Laureano (back) remains out of the Braves’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Phillies.

      Advice: It’ll be the seventh straight game that the 29-year-old outfielder has missed due to a balky back, but as we’ve seen all season long the Braves’ aren’t afraid to play with a shorthanded bench. He’ll continue to take things on a day-to-day basis. Eli White will start in left field and bat ninth for the Braves on Friday night against Aaron Nola and the Phillies. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:08 pm

    • Absent from starting nine
      Yastrzemski (elbow) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: Yastrzemski was hit in the elbow by a pitch Thursday, and although his X-rays came back clean, he'll be given Friday off. Michael Conforto, Heliot Ramos and Luis Matos will fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:53 pm
       
    • Snaps slump with three hits
      Verdugo went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Thursday's loss to Cincinnati.

      Advice: Verdugo entered Thursday in the throes of a 12-game slump during which he went 6-for-47 (.128 average). The outfielder showed positive signs of getting back on track against the Reds, not only collecting three knocks but also producing two extra-base hits -- as many as he had tallied during that entire 12-game downturn. While Verdugo is on pace to set a career high in homers and RBI this season (he has nine long balls and 43 runs batted in through 85 games), his .248 batting average and .305 OBP are both on pace for his lowest marks since his 15-game cup of coffee with the Dodgers in 2017.

    • Lowe fills up stat sheet against Royals Thursday
      Josh Lowe went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base against the Royals on Thursday.

      Advice: Lowe’s stolen base was his sixth of the season. He drove in Isaac Paredes with an RBI double in the first inning and scored on Ben Rortvedt’s two-run single in the fifth inning. Jose Siri pinch hit for him later in the game with a left-handed pitcher on the mound. Lowe is hitting just .223 with a .709 OPS and 14 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Thursday, 8:50 pm
       
    • Dealing with swollen elbow
      X-rays came back negative on Yastrzemski's elbow after he was hit by a pitch Thursday against Atlanta, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Yastrzemski was hit by a pitch in the elbow in the fourth inning and was pulled one frame later. He was diagnosed with a right elbow contusion and is considered day-to-day. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:08 pm
       
    • Mike Yastrzemski exits Thursday after hit by pitch
      Mike Yastrzemski was removed from Thursday’s game against the Braves after being hit by a pitch.

      Advice: Yastrzemski was hit by a pitch in the right elbow area and was lifted from the contest. He’ll presumably undergo further evaluation and imaging to determine the extent of the injury. There should be an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:01 pm
