    • Placed on IL
      The Giants placed Flores on the 10-day injured list Friday with right knee tendinitis, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Flores has been slumping at the plate lately, going just 2-for-19 with three RBI in his last six games. He'll now be sidelined for at least 10 days due to his knee, and starting first base duties will be given back to LaMonte Wade (hamstring), who was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.

    • Giants place Wilmer Flores (knee) on 10-day IL
      Giants placed INF Wilmer Flores on the 10-day injured list with left knee tendinitis.

      Advice: Flores has been battling the knee issue for a couple of weeks now so the Giants finally decided to sit him down and get him right. The timing worked out as LaMonte Wade was activated from the injured list on Friday and can handle the bulk of the action at first base while Flores is shelved. Rotoworld Today, 5:40 pm

    • Anthony Rendon to face live pitching next week
      Angels’ manager Ron Washington told reporters on Friday that Anthony Rendon will face live pitching late next week.

      Advice: The 34-year-old third baseman is nearing the end of his recovery from a torn left hamstring and is closing in on a return to the Angels’ lineup. Prior to landing on the injured list in April, Rendon had been hitting .267/.325/.307 with zero homers, three RBI and three stolen bases through his first 83 plate appearances on the season.

    • Not starting Friday
      Malloy is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: Malloy will begin Friday's contest in the dugout after going 0-for-3 with one strikeout in Thursday's 5-0 loss. Over his last 10 games, he's gone just 2-for-25 with a 40.7 percent strikeout rate. Colt Keith will serve as the designated hitter Friday while Andy Ibanez starts at second base against Angels right-hander Zach Plesac. Rotowire.com Today, 3:32 pm
       
    • Sitting Friday
      Nevin is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Nevin will begin Friday's contest in the dugout after going 1-for-7 with three walks, one home run and two RBI over the recent three-game series against the Angels. Armando Alvarez will start at third base and bat seventh against Diamondbacks right-hander Slade Cecconi. Rotowire.com Today, 3:08 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

    • Playing time dipping
      Alexander is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Guardians.

      Advice: After starting each of the first two games upon his recall, the left-handed hitting Alexander has now been out of the lineup for three straight, and they've all been against righties. Nick Loftin is again handling third base and looks to be the preferred option of the two at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 1:03 pm
       
    • Contract selected by Colorado
      The Rockies selected Schunk's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

      Advice: Schunk posted an .811 OPS in his first taste of the Triple-A level and has followed up with a .291/.339/.469 slash line through 69 contests this year. That production has come in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, so the numbers are likely a bit inflated. Schunk will be making his big-league debut when he gets into a game, and he should see some playing time between second and third base while up with the Rockies, though those opportunities could be limited with Brendan Rodgers and Ryan McMahon currently healthy.
