    • Serving as DH on Friday
      Montero is starting as the designated hitter and batting eighth for Friday's game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Montero was initially slated to begin Friday's game in the dugout, but he was inserted into the starting lineup after Jake Cave (undisclosed) was carted off the field during batting practice after being hit in the head by a line drive. Montero will face off against Pirates right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
       
    • DFA'd by Pirates
      The Pirates designated Goodrum for assignment Friday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

      Advice: Pittsburgh claimed Goodrum Monday, but he'll return to waivers Friday after going 2-for-15 with seven strikeouts in four appearances with Triple-A Indianapolis. The Pirates are Goodrum's third stop of the season, starting the year with Tampa Bay before spending time in the Angels system. In 33 MLB plate appearances this season, Goodrum owns a .291 OPS.

    • Pirates designate Niko Goodrum for assignment
      Pirates designated INF Niko Goodrum for assignment.

      Advice: Less than a week after being claimed off of waivers from the Angels, Goodrum finds himself off the 40-man roster once more so that the Pirates had a roster spot available for Josh Fleming on Friday. The versatile 32-year-old makes for a nice utility option and will probably attract interest on waivers once again this time around. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
       
    • Returns to lineup
      Seager (hamstring) is serving as the Rangers' designated hitter and batting second Friday against the Mariners.

      Advice: Seager was dealing with tightness in his hamstring while warming up for Thursday's game, and he was scratched from the lineup as a precaution after having missed four games earlier in the week due to hamstring problems. The issue has now subsided ahead of Friday's contest, and he will look to remain hot at the plate after going 8-for-21 with a homer and four RBI in six games since the beginning of June.

    • Sitting Friday
      Smith is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Smith will begin Friday's series opener in the dugout after starting in the last two games, going 4-for-7. He's been one of the hottest hitters in June, slashing .368/.429/.526 with seven runs, one home run and two RBI. Davis Wendzel will start at third base Friday and bat ninth against Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

    • Hits first career homer
      Pages went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Pages opened the scoring with his first career homer, taking Hayden Wesneski deep in the eighth inning. This was Pages' fourth start over the Cardinals' last five games, though he's gone just 3-for-12 in that span. All of his starts have come at catcher, which has taken a small chunk out of Ivan Herrera's playing time recently. Pages is slashing just .125/.231/.250 with seven RBI, four runs scored and one double through 39 plate appearances. With Willson Contreras (forearm) tracking toward an earlier-than-anticipated return, Pages may be on his way back to Triple-A Memphis before the end of the month. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
       
    • Logs steal Friday
      Herrera went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Herrera is up to four steals this season, three of which he's recorded over 11 games in June. The catcher is batting .316 (12-for-38) this month, adding five doubles, seven runs scored and one RBI. For the season, he's at a steady .273/.335/.366 slash line with three home runs, 17 RBI, 22 runs scored and six doubles over 179 plate appearances. Herrera has started behind the dish just once in the last five games, though it's unclear why his playing time has dipped since Pedro Pages has made little impact with his bat.

    • Not starting Friday
      Guillorme is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

      Advice: Despite the Giants sending right-hander Spencer Howard to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting Guillorme will begin the the game in the dugout. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting again
      Calhoun is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: Calhoun will take a seat for a second straight game Friday, with Kevin Pillar playing left field and batting cleanup while Taylor Ward bats third and DH's. Calhoun is 10-for-30 (.333) in June with five walks and two strikeouts. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
