  • Dodgers transfer Max Muncy to 60-day IL
    Dodgers transferred INF Max Muncy to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: The 33-year-old slugger has been shelved since May 17 due to a right oblique strain. There’s still no clear timetable for when he may be able to rejoin the Dodgers, though he now won’t be eligible to return until July 16 at the earliest. Muncy did take ground balls prior to Friday’s game, but he has a long way to go to build back up before he’s ready to be activated. Rotoworld Today, 6:02 pm

  • Transferred to 60-day IL
    The Dodgers Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times Muncy (oblique) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Jack Harris reports.

    Advice: Muncy was placed on the 10-day IL on May 17 due to a Grade 1 right oblique strain. It took him nearly a month to begin taking dry swings and he has been limited to fielding grounders and running the bases. With more steps needed before beginning a rehab assignment, the Dodgers opted to move Muncy to the 60-day IL on Friday, meaning he won't be eligible to return until after the All-Star break. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers activated Kyle Hurt (shoulder) from the 60-day IL and optioned him to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, per Harris. Rotowire.com Today, 5:55 pm

  • Late addition to Friday's lineup
    Stefanic is starting at second base and batting eighth in Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Stefanic was inserted into Friday's lineup after Brandon Drury was scratched due to an illness. Since being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on June 8, Stefanic has played in seven major-league games, going 6-for-22 with four RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 4:58 pm
     
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Biggio isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Biggio has been platooning with righty Enrique Hernandez at third base since being acquired by the Dodgers. With lefty Patrick Sandoval on the mound for the Angels, it will be Hernandez who fills the hot corner Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:13 pm

  • Returning to Arlington
    Jung (wrist) was pulled from his rehab assignment Friday to be evaluated in Arlington before the Rangers decide whether or not to activate him this weekend, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Jung went 4-for-17 in four rehab games with Triple-A Round Rock and could be cleared to rejoin the Rangers' active roster this weekend. The third baseman hasn't played since fracturing his wrist on April 1 and was initially expected to receive roughly 30 at-bats in the minor leagues before being reinstated. Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran have been handling most of the third base work during Jung's absence. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm

  • Back in lineup Friday
    Toro (shoudler) is starting at third base and hitting in the leadoff spot for Friday's series opener against the Twins.

    Advice: Shoulder soreness kept Toro out of the starting lineup for the Athletics' last three games, though he did pinch hit in the seventh inning of Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Royals. On the season, Toro is slashing .259/.300/.387 with 15 doubles, six home runs and 24 RBI over 291 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:23 pm

  • Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) returns to lineup
    Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) returned to the Reds’ starting lineup on Friday night.

    Advice: Candelario was pulled from Tuesday’s game due to general fatigue and tendinitis and then sat out Wednesday’s game as a precautionary measure. He’s feeling much improved after a couple of days off though and is back in there as the Reds’ designated hitter on Friday night. He’ll bat third against Kutter Crawford and the Red Sox.

  • Making first start Friday
    Martinez will start at second base and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Guardians.

    Advice: It will be the first major-league start for Martinez, who was on the bench for each of the first two contests following his promotion. The 22-year-old is one of the better power-hitting prospects in baseball, but he does struggle to make contact and isn't regarded as a great defender. Getting him playing time does not appear to be a priority for the Blue Jays during this stint, but he will have a chance to show what he can do Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:41 pm

  • Not facing lefty
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: For the second straight night, the Mariners will face a left-handed starting pitcher and keep Rojas out of the starting lineup. Dylan Moore will bat second and play third base. Rotowire.com Today, 1:28 pm
