  • Sitting Friday

Daz Cameron will start in right field Friday and bat sixth against Diamondbacks right-hander Slade Cecconi. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Rehab assignment ending soon
    Manager Pat Murphy said Mitchell's (finger) rehab assignment will end Saturday and the team hasn't had discussions about optioning him, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: The Brewers are currently dealing with a logjam in the outfield, with Christian Yelich, Blake Perkins, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio all seeing significant action during Mitchell's rehab from a fractured finger. Considering the injury and Milwaukee's outfield depth, it's possible that Mitchell will remain with Triple-A Nashville after being reinstated. However, Murphy's comments don't seem to support that possibility. Mitchell was removed from Wednesday's rehab outing with an unrelated hamstring injury but was able to suit up and play Thursday. Regardless of what level ends up playing at, Mitchell should be activated from the 60-day IL this weekend. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

  • Sitting down against lefty
    Pederson isn't in Arizona's lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Pederson will step out of the lineup Friday as the A's prepare to send southpaw JP Sears to the mound. Blaze Alexander will fill in as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter and bat second. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Expected to play Saturday
    Fraley (calf) is expected to be back in the lineup Saturday at St. Louis, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Fraley has missed two consecutive contests with a right calf contusion, but he's on track to return Saturday. Santiago Espinal has drawn the start at DH in Fraley's place. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

  • Sitting against lefty
    McCarthy isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Left-hander JP Sears will toe the slab Friday for the A's, meaning the lefty-hitting McCarthy will head to the bench to begin the game. Randal Grichuk will start in right field instead and bat fifth. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • 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 27 minutes ago

  • 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 41 minutes ago

  • Byron Buxton not in Twins’ lineup on Friday
    Byron Buxton is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Mariners in Seattle.

    Advice: The Twins have been sure to mix in the occasional off-day into Buxton’s schedule this season as a way to keep him healthy and fresh. It’s an interesting spot for one though after he went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer on Thursday afternoon. Expect him to return to the starting lineup on Saturday. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
