• Jake Fraley (hand) ready to return to action
    Reds’ manager David Bell told reporters on Friday that Jake Fraley (hand) is fully recovered and ready to return to action.

    Advice: He actually appeared as a pinch-runner on Thursday night but didn’t get a plate appearance. He’s also not in the Reds’ lineup on Friday — as they’re taking on Dodgers’ left-hander James Paxton. Expect him to return to the starting lineup on Saturday. Rotoworld 7 minutes ago

  • Gets Star Wars Night break
    Santana is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Texas.

  • Starting Friday
    Taylor will start in left field and bat seventh Friday against Cincinnati.

    Advice: Taylor has seen his playing time dwindle in the past month as Andy Pages leapfrogged Taylor on the depth chart and Jason Heyward returned from injury. He's slashing .097/.219/.097 with 30 strikeouts in 74 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Kodai Senga shut down after latest setback
    Kodai Senga (shoulder) will be shut down for the next three-to-five days due to inflammation in his triceps.

    Advice: The 31-year-old right-hander had been scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday, but that was scrapped due to the new issue. It has seemingly been one setback after another for Senga as he has attempted to come back from his shoulder injury. There’s no clear timetable as to when he may finally ready to make his 2024 season debut. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago

  • Taking seat
    Heyward is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Despite the Dodgers facing a righty, Heyward will be out of the starting lineup Friday. Teoscar Hernandez, Chris Taylor and Andy Pages will fill the outfield Friday. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Out against southpaw
    Canzone is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Washington.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Canzone will cede right field duties to Mitch Haniger as the Mariners take on southpaw MacKenzie Gore. Canzone is slashing .208/.278/.500 with four home runs and eight RBI in his second major-league season. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
  • Could follow opener
    Wilson isn't starting Friday against the Red Sox but is likely to follow opener Jared Koenig.

    Advice: Wilson was initially listed as the Brewers' projected starter -- a role he's jumped into with Milwaukee's rotation hampered by injuries -- but Jared Koenig is now starting the game. Considering Koenig hasn't worked more than 2.2 innings in a game this year, it's expected that he'll just open the contest, leaving the door open for Wilson to operate in long relief.
