  • Sitting again Friday
    Davis is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

    Advice: The righty-hitting Davis will sit for a second straight game as the Blue Jays send right-hander Chris Bassitt to the mound Friday. Over his last 15 games, Davis has slashed .250/.298/.386 with two home runs and three RBI over 44 at-bats. Tyler Soderstrom will start at first base and bat seventh for the series opener.

  • Receiving third opinion
    The second opinion Gasser received on his left elbow Friday conflicted with the first evaluation, so he's scheduled to visit a third doctor, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: According to Hogg, Dr. Neal ElAttrache suggested surgery after examining Gasser's elbow Friday, which was in contrast to the initial evaluation from earlier this week. There's apparently no new structural damage with the flexor strain, but the differing treatment recommendation will result in the 25-year-old receiving a third medical opinion. Gasser is without a timeline for his return but could be facing an extended absence. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
     
  • Surgery recommended for Robert Gasser’s elbow
    Robert Gasser will get a third opinion on his elbow after Dr. Neal ElAttrache suggester he undergo surgery.

    Advice: Gasser definitely has some damage in his elbow, but it sounds like the first opinion suggested rest and rehab. The highly respected ElAttrache saw things differently. There’s still a scenario in which Gasser comes back and contributes this season, but those who picked him up in mixed leagues can move on. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
     
  • Getting breather versus LHP
    Carpenter isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: The left-handed bat of Carpenter will be forced out of the lineup Friday as southpaw Austin Gomber prepares to toe the slab for Colorado. Jose Fermin will instead serve as St. Louis' designated hitter while batting seventh. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Abner Uribe (knee) goes on minor league IL
    Abner Uribe was placed on the IL at Triple-A Nashville because of a right knee injury.

    Advice: The Brewers will know more after he has an MRI next week. Uribe opened the year as the Brewers’ primary closer, but he was sent down May 1 after amassing a 6.91 ERA in 14 1/3 innings. He allowed just one run but walked seven in 8 2/3 innings in Triple-A before getting hurt. Rotoworld 57 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting against lefty
    Siani isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: With the Cardinals set to face left-hander Austin Gomber, the lefty-hitting Siani will step out of the lineup Friday. Dylan Carlson will get the nod in center field instead and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Jarred Kelenic (wrist) available off bench
    Jarred Kelenic hit in cage prior to Friday’s game and is expected to be available off the bench against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic’s wrist must still be bothering him some or he’d be in the lineup against a right-hander tonight. Still, this is good news. Unfortunately, the Braves are facing lefties on both Saturday and Sunday, but Kelenic might start at least one of those games anyway. Rotoworld Today, 2:05 pm
     
  • Not facing southpaw
    Raley is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Raley will give way to righty Victor Robles again Friday with the Mariners facing another left-handed pitcher. Raley and Robles should continue to platoon, with Raley on the strong side of the split. Rotowire.com Today, 2:02 pm
