  • Absent from lineup
    Horwitz is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Cleveland.

    Advice: After starting each of the first five games upon his promotion, Horwitz has now been on the bench three times across the last seven contests, including twice against right-handers. Orelvis Martinez is getting the call at second base Friday. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Making first start Friday
    Martinez will start at second base and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Guardians.

    Advice: It will be the first major-league start for Martinez, who was on the bench for each of the first two contests following his promotion. The 22-year-old is one of the better power-hitting prospects in baseball, but he does struggle to make contact and isn't regarded as a great defender. Getting him playing time does not appear to be a priority for the Blue Jays during this stint, but he will have a chance to show what he can do Friday. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • MRI comes back clean
    Torres (groin) was deemed day-to-day after an MRI came back clean Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Torres was lifted from Thursday's game precautionarily due to right groin discomfort and an MRI confirmed that the injury isn't any thing serious. Still, Torres may need a day or two for recovery, which could open up more work for Oswaldo Cabrera and Jahmai Jones. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • David Fry absent from Guardians lineup on Friday
    David Fry is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: After lighting the world on fire for a couple of weeks at the plate, Fry has fallen on hard times since the calendar flipped to June — hitting just .208/.269/.292 with zero homers, three RBI and a 10/3 K/BB ratio over 52 plate appearances in his last 12 games. Austin Hedges will function as the Guardians’ catcher on Friday night and will bat ninth against Yariel Rodriguez and the Blue Jays. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago

  • Riding pine against LHP
    Canzone is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Miami.

    Advice: Canzone will yield to Mitch Haniger in right field on Friday, avoiding a lefty-on-lefty matchup with Marlins' starter Trevor Rogers. Canzone owns a .709 OPS with six home runs this season. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Not facing lefty
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: For the second straight night, the Mariners will face a left-handed starting pitcher and keep Rojas out of the starting lineup. Dylan Moore will bat second and play third base. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

  • Spencer Horwitz not in Blue Jays lineup on Friday
    Spencer Horwitz is not in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Friday night’s contest against the Guardians in Cleveland.

    Advice: The versatile 26-year-old has found his way into the lineup against most opposing right-handed pitchers, but that’s not the case against Carlos Carrasco on Friday night. Horwitz has hit well in his limited time with the Jays — slashing .353/.450/.412 with three RBI and a 5/6 K/BB ratio over his first 40 plate appearances. Orelvis Martinez will start in his place at second base and bat eighth for the Jays. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Orelvis Martinez set for big league debut Friday
    Orelvis Martinez will make his major league debut on Friday night against the Guardians.

    Advice: The 22-year-old top prospect was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, but didn’t see any game action during his first two days with the Jays. He’ll start at second base on Friday night and will bat eighth against Guardians’ right-hander Carlos Carrasco. Martinez had been hitting .260/.343/.523 with 16 homers and 46 RBI over 63 games at Triple-A Buffalo prior to his promotion. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
