Estrada (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Advice: Estrada went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's game against the Mets before being pulled due to left hamstring tightness. The Giants had their off day Thursday, but the 28-year-old will sit out for at least one more game while managing his injury. Tyler Fitzgerald will start at second base Friday and bat eighth against Pirates right-hander Quinn Priester. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

Drury (hamstring) is starting as the designated hitter and batting fifth in Friday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Advice: After returning to action for all three games against the Reds last weekend, Drury missed the past three contests against the Orioles due to a lingering left hamstring injury. The three-game absence, along with the Angels' off day Thursday, seems to have done the trick for Drury, as he'll start at DH for the series opener Friday versus Minnesota. The 31-year-old is slashing .194/.270/.269 with two doubles, six runs, one home run and four RBI over 74 plate appearances to begin the season. Rotowire.com Today, 2:15 pm

Adam Frazier went 1-for-3 and scored a pair of runs in a lopsided victory over the Tigers on Friday afternoon in Motown.

Advice: Frazier, who started in right field for the Royals on Friday, smacked a one-out single off of Reese Olson in the third inning then came around to score the game’s first run on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Bobby Witt Jr. He also drove in a run of his own as he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, before racing around to score on a two-run single by Maikel Garcia. Frazier also made the defensive play of the game, leaping over the wall in right field to steal a two-run homer from Parker Meadows. For the season, the versatile 32-year-old is now hitting .207/.343/.241 with zero homers, five RBI and one stolen base through his first 70 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 1:22 pm

Urias is starting at third base and batting ninth Friday against the Athletics, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Advice: The 29-year-old has just two starts in Baltimore's past 14 games, but he's back in the lineup Friday and should have a more regular role after top prospect Jackson Holliday was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Urias had a .703 OPS in 116 games last season but is off to a slow start in 2024 with a .194/.216/.222 slash line in 37 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:08 pm

Short was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday.

Advice: Short is clearing out as J.D. Martinez is added to the Mets' active roster. The 28-year-old utility player had received just 12 plate appearances this month with the big club, picking up one hit. It's possible he'll draw some interest from a team seeking defensive versatility. Rotowire.com Today, 11:41 am
