  • Has torn cartilage in ribcage
    Casas revealed Friday that he's dealing with torn cartilage in his left ribcage, not a fractured rib as had been previously reported, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: The injury is an unusual one and carries a wide range of potential timetables, with Casas saying it could be anywhere from three to nine weeks before he's cleared for cardio activities and strengthening. Once that happens, he would presumably need several more weeks before he's game-ready. Casas did add that he's very optimistic he'll be back at some point this season, it's just unclear when that might be. Bobby Dalbec is currently filling in at first base for the Red Sox.

  • Steps out of lineup
    Allen is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Allen started the previous eight games but will take a seat after going 5-for-22 with a solo home run during that stretch. Darell Hernaiz will step in at shortstop and bat seventh Friday. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Noda is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Baltimore.

    Advice: The 28-year-old sat against lefty Nestor Cortes on Thursday and is on the bench again Friday versus righty Corbin Burnes. Tyler Nevin will receive a start at first base as Noda has a .523 OPS through 83 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Out of lineup again Friday

  • Sitting versus lefty
    Gimenez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: Atlanta is starting southpaw Chris Sale, so it's not a bad day for the left-handed hitting Gimenez to get a breather. Gabriel Arias will handle second base Friday. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Out again Friday
    Senzel (illness) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Marlins.

    Advice: Senzel was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to illness and will now miss a second straight start. The Nationals will use Trey Lipscomb as a fill-in at third base. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • Beginning rehab assignment
    Megill (shoulder) will start a rehab assignment Saturday at High-A Brooklyn, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The right-hander suffered a shoulder strain in his season debut March 31 against the Brewers, but he now recovered from the injury and is ready for game action. Megill figures to require at least two starts in the minors before being cleared to rejoin the Mets' rotation. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

  • Casas (rib) suffered torn cartilage, not fracture
    Triston Casas told reporters that he didn’t fracture his rib, but rather suffered torn cartilage.

    Advice: It’s a bit of a twist for Casas’ injury that was initially reported as a broken rib, but the 24-year-old is dealing with torn cartilage that is a bit unusual with a non-contact injury. Despite the change of diagnosis, Casas’ timetable to return is still very much in question ranging from three weeks to nine weeks before he can start ramping up for his return. He was optimistic that he can return this season, but for the time being, it’s a huge loss for the Boston’s lineup and fantasy managers. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
