  • Out of Friday's lineup
    Hays (ribs) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Hays was hit by a pitch in the ribs Thursday against the Blue Jays and will sit for at least one game. Colton Cowser will move to left field while Cedric Mullins starts in center and bats eighth. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

  • Sitting out after HBP
    Hoerner is not in Friday's lineup in Cincinnati after being hit on the hand by a pitch in Thursday's win over the White Sox, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Hoerner was struck by a pitch in the fourth inning Thursday but stayed in and finished that game. He underwent a precautionary X-ray afterward, which evidently came back clean. However, it could be dealing with some residual soreness, hence his absence from Friday's lineup. Consider him day-to-day. David Bote will handle second base Friday. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

  • Should avoid injured list
    Manager Aaron Boone said Soto, who is out of the lineup Friday against the Dodgers, had imaging on his left elbow come back clean in addition to being diagnosed with forearm inflammation, and the outfielder could be available this weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 25-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with a severe injury and should be considered day-to-day. A quick return to the lineup this weekend is plausible, though Soto is certainly not guaranteed to see the field versus Los Angeles. Trent Grisham will enter the lineup in his place and man center field Friday, pushing Aaron Judge to right. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago

  • Getting day off
    Kwan is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Miami.

    Advice: The Guardians have now mixed in two off days for Kwan in the outfielder's first week back from the injured list as they ease him into things. David Fry will be the left fielder Friday and Tyler Freeman will be elevated to the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
     
  • Juan Soto day-to-day with forearm inflammation
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone called Juan Soto day-to-day with forearm inflammation.

    Advice: Tests didn’t reveal any ligament damage, so that’s good. Of course, it wouldn’t be the first time early tests failed to pick up on something, but optimism is warranted for now. Soto is not in the lineup for Friday’s game against the Dodgers, but he hasn’t been ruled out for the weekend. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago

  • Not starting Friday
    Seager (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: The hamstring injury that caused Seager's departure from Wednesday's matchup with the Tigers is considered minor, but he'll still be out of the starting nine for at least one game. The 30-year-old is still on Texas' lineup card, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, and he isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list. Josh Smith will shift to shortstop while Ezequiel Duran receives a start at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 12:59 pm

  • Out versus southpaw
    Benson is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Cubs.

    Advice: The left-handed hitting Benson will take a seat as the Cubs send southpaw Justin Steele to the hill. Blake Dunn, TJ Friedl and Stuart Fairchild will handle outfield duties for the Reds on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:54 pm

  • Still out Friday
    Kelenic (wrist) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic will miss a second straight game after injuring his wrist on a diving catch Wednesday. All indications point to the injury being minor, so he should be back in the lineup soon. In the meantime, Adam Duvall will play left field and J.P. Martinez will step into right. Rotowire.com Today, 12:39 pm
     
  • Juan Soto (forearm) will be OK, per Heyman
    Initial doctor reports suggests Yankees OF Juan Soto will be OK, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

    Advice: The initial prognosis is inflammation for Soto. While his timetable to return to the field is still unclear, this is certainly a relief as it appears the Yankees have avoided the worst case scenario with their star outfielder. Rotoworld Today, 12:09 pm
