  • Sitting against southpaw
    Ford is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Ford will get the day off with lefty James Paxton on the bump for Los Angeles. Nick Martini will bat seventh and DH on Friday. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Gets break Friday
    Isbel is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: With southpaw Tyler Alexander coming in as the primary pitcher for Tampa Bay, left-hitting Isbel will not start and pass center field duties to Garrett Hampson. Isbel will get a break as the Royals come off a series sweep against Detroit, where he went 2-for-11 with two runs. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Still on bench
    Fraley (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Fraley hasn't started a game since getting hit by a pitch in the hand Tuesday against San Diego. However, he's been utilized as a pinch runner since sustaining the injury and it's unclear if he's capable of hitting at this point. Jacob Hurtubise will start in right and bat ninth Friday.

  • Getting another day of rest
    Parker's next projected start will be pushed back to Monday at Atlanta, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports. Parker was initially scheduled to face the Mariners on Sunday.

    Advice: Although Parker will have a full week in between starts, he'll catch the series opener against Atlanta instead of Patrick Corbin. On the year, Parker owns a 3.32 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP across 38.0 innings. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Not starting again
    Melendez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: The 25-year-old outfielder will start from the dugout for the second straight matchup as southpaw Tyler Alexander takes the mound as the primary for the Rays. Melendez has struggled to get his bat going this year, slugging .179/.232/.345 with 12 RBI, and going 3-for-19 in his last five games played. Nelson Velazquez will move to left field in place of Melendez and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Start moved up
    Corbin is listed as the Nationals' probable pitcher for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Corbin's start will come five days after allowing eight runs against the Twins on Tuesday, leapfrogging Mitchell Parker in the rotation to give Parker an extra day of rest. Corbin has been hit or miss this season, yielding five or more runs four times but surrendering fewer than three runs on three occasions. He owns a 6.29 ERA overall. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Renfroe returns to lineup Friday
    Hunter Renfroe is back in the Royals lineup for Friday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Renfroe had the day off when the Royals last played on Wednesday, but he’s back in the lineup and batting eighth on Friday. He’s struggled this season with a .160 average and four home runs in 131 at-bats. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Ramirez accepts assignment with Rays
    RHP Erasmo Ramirez has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Ramirez is no longer on Tampa Bay’s 40-man roster and had the right to become a free agent, but the 34-year-old right-hander opted to remain in the Rays organization. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
     
  • Royals DFA Duffey Friday
    Royals designated RHP Tyler Duffey for assignment.

    Advice: Duffey was the corresponding move with Carlos Hernandez being activated. He had a 5.00 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in nine appearances with Kansas City this season. Duffey is no longer on the Royals’ 40-man roster and the club has seven days to either trade him or place him on waivers. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
