  • Not starting Friday
    Baty (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Baty missed Wednesday's game against the Pirates after experiencing tightness in his left hamstring Tuesday. He did some running and agility tests ahead of Friday's game, but he has not provided a timeline on his return, per Pat Ragazzo of SI.com. Baty has started the season slashing .305/.359/.373 with one home run and nine RBI over 64 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Bryan De La Cruz goes deep in loss to Cubs
    Bryan De La Cruz crushed his fourth home run of the season on Friday afternoon, but it wasn’t enough to power the Marlins past the Cubs in Chicago.

    Advice: De La Cruz got the Marlins on the board in the fourth inning on Friday, crushing a 380-foot homer to center off of right-hander Jameson Taillon. All that did was put a Band-Aid on a stab wound though, pulling the Marlins to within six runs at 7-1. The 27-year-old outfielder finished the day 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. For the season, he’s now hitting .286/.294/.476 with four long balls and 11 RBI. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago
     
  • A.J. Puk clobbered in loss to Cubs on Friday
    A.J. Puk was clobbered in Friday afternoon’s loss to the Cubs, giving up seven runs on seven hits over his three innings of work.

    Advice: Oof. The 28-year-old southpaw also issued three walks while striking out four batters on the afternoon. The Cubs didn’t even take him deep on Friday, it was simply a barrage of baserunners, with two runs in the first, one in the second and four more in his final inning of work. Puk got seven swings and misses on 70 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 29 percent. He now holds a brutal 0-4 record, 9.22 ERA, 2.63 WHIP and a 12/17 K/BB ratio across 13 2/3 innings through his first four starts. Perhaps the Marlins would be better served pulling the plug on this experiment and letting Max Meyer run free in their rotation. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

  • Max Muncy getting a night off on Friday
    Max Muncy is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Friday evening’s showdown against the Mets.

    Advice: It’s just a regular day of rest for the 33-year-old slugger with left-hander Sean Manaea toeing the slab for the Mets. Miguel Rojas will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat eighth for the Dodgers on Friday evening in Los Angeles. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago

  • Will continue rehab assignment
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Buehler (elbow) needs at least one more rehab outing before returning to the rotation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Buehler struggled in his rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. He allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three across 2.2 innings. Roberts noted that Buehler's execution Thursday was "not great," and the right-hander will continue his rehab assignment until his command improves. Landon Knack will stay in the Dodgers' rotation and will get at least one more start. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Julio Teheran struggles in first start at Triple-A
    Julio Teheran struggled in his first start at Triple-A Iowa on Friday, giving up five runs on five hits over his 4 1/3 innings of work.

    Advice: The 33-year-old hurler struck out a pair of batters on the day while issuing one free pass. A few of the hits were very soft contact that happened to fall into the right place, but Teheran simply wasn’t great in the outing. It’s unclear how many starts they’ll give him there before he becomes an option to help out at the big league level. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Walker Buehler to make one additional rehab start
    Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Friday that Walker Buehler (elbow) will make at least one additional minor league rehab start before joining the team’s rotation.

    Advice: The 29-year-old hurler struggled with his command in his latest start on Thursday, ultimately allowing two runs over 2 2/3 innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City — throwing a total of 68 pitches. That means that Landon Knack will stick around to start again — likely on Wednesday against the Nationals in Washington. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Mariners push Emerson Hancock back until Sunday
    Mariners’ manager Scott Servais told reporters after Friday’s rainout that Emerson Hancock will pitch the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Rockies.

    Advice: Hancock had been scheduled to start on Friday before that game got washed out. The M’s will keep Luis Castillo on schedule for Saturday though and George Kirby will start the first game of Sunday’s twin bill before Hancock works in the nightcap. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
     
  • Brett Baty (hamstring) remains out of Mets lineup
    Brett Baty (hamstring) remained out of the Mets’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The good news, is that Baty was able to go through a full workout prior to the game and hasn’t been placed on the injured list, so the Mets seem to think that he’ll be back in relatively short order. Joey Wendle will start in his place at third base on Friday and will bat ninth against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
