  • Moves to injured list
    The Marlins placed Luzardo on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 23, with left elbow tightness.

    Advice: The left-hander was scratched from Friday's start against Washington due to the injury and will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. According to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, Luzardo first felt the elbow issue while playing catch Thursday and believes it shouldn't be a lengthy absence, though he's also awaiting test results that should provide more clarity on the injury.

  • Batting fifth in Mets debut
    Martinez will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: It will be Martinez's Mets and season debut after he was sent to the minors for a while following a late-March signing. The 36-year-old will be given extra days off in the early going as he gets his feet under him, but Martinez will eventually be the team's everyday DH. He slashed .271/.321/.572 with 33 home runs for the Dodgers last season. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Receives rest day
    Winn is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Winn started the previous nine games but will take a seat Friday after he posted a .208/.394/.292 slash line during that stretch. Brandon Crawford will receive a start at shortstop in the series opener at New York. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • On bench versus lefty
    Kelenic is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Lefty Logan Allen is pitching for Cleveland, so Kelenic will unsurprisingly start Friday's contest on the bench. Adam Duvall will receive another look in left field while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The White Sox Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times Fletcher to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    Advice: Fletcher has slashed just .203/.277/.271 with a 20:4 K:BB over 66 plate appearances with the White Sox. He had begun seeing his playing time dip lately and now the club has elected to give the 26-year-old a reset back in the minors. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • White Sox option Dominic Fletcher to Triple-A
    White Sox optioned OF Dominic Fletcher to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: The 26-year-old outfielder went hitless in four of his past six games and now will head to the minors. It’s definitely a disappointing start to the season for Fletcher after he played well for the Diamondbacks last season going .301/.350/.441 in his 102 plate appearances.

  • Starting Friday
    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 28 minutes ago

  • Getting start at third base
    Brujan will start at third base and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Brujan is getting the call at the hot corner as Emmanuel Rivera receives a day off. The utility player has gone just 2-for-23 in his first 16 games as a Marlin. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Marlins place Jesús Luzardo (elbow) on 15-day IL
    Marlins placed LHP Jesús Luzardo on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 23, with left elbow tightness.

    Advice: No surprise here. Luzardo was supposed to make a start against the Nationals on Friday, but he was scratched due to elbow discomfort and now he’ll be sidelined for at least the next two weeks. It’s unclear if this is a recent injury or something the 26-year-old has been dealing with for some time now, but he’ll look to heal up and improve an inflated 6.58 ERA through his first five starts this season.
