  • Late addition to Friday 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 33 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched Friday with illness
    Drury was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Dodgers due to an illness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: After being scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to an illness, Drury was set to return to action Friday following the team's off day Thursday. The illness appears to have lingered around, however, and Drury will sit out for at least one more game. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat eighth against Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago

  • Brandon Drury (illness) scratched again on Friday
    Brandon Drury was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup once again on Friday night due to illness.

    Advice: Drury was scratched from the team’s lineup on Wednesday due to illness as well. The Angels had been hopeful that he would return to the lineup on Friday night, but he was still feeling a bit under the weather. He’s still considered day-to-day and could return to the lineup as early as Saturday. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago

  • Returns to lineup
    Drury (illness) is batting sixth and playing second base Friday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Drury was a late scratch Wednesday due to illness but after a team day off Thursday, he's feeling good enough to play. The second baseman is 1-for-6 since returning from the IL on Monday and owns a .469 OPS on the year. Rotowire.com Today, 3:48 pm

  • Hits 10-day IL
    Amador (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Amador suffered a right oblique strain in Thursday's game against the Dodgers, a injury similar to one he sustained earlier in the season at Double-A Hartford. Considering Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is healthy and Amador put up a .394 OPS in 10 big-league games, the 21-year-old doesn't have a clear path to at-bats in Colorado. Rotowire.com Today, 3:26 pm

  • Officially activated
    Rodgers (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Rodgers is officially back on the Rockies' active roster after missing exactly two weeks of action. While he isn't in the lineup for Friday's contest, he should be expected to take over second base duties from Alan Trejo this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 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

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

    Advice: With the Dodgers facing a lefty for the second straight night, Lux will once again be held from the starting lineup. Instead, Chris Taylor will bat eighth and play second base. Rotowire.com Today, 3:10 pm

  • Set for IL stint
    Amador will be placed on the injured list with a right oblique strain, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Amador's move to the injured list comes at the same time as Brendan Rodgers' (hamstring) reinstatement, meaning the rookie's playing time with Colorado was coming to an end regardless. The 21-year-old appeared in 10 games with the Rockies but struggled to a .171/.194/.200 slash line with a stolen base. While it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined, there is optimism that Amador's recovery will be quick. Rotowire.com Today, 2:47 pm
