    • Andrew Benintendi gets a night off on Friday
      Andrew Benintendi is not in the White Sox’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Tigers in Motown.

      Advice: It’s unusually to see Benintendi on the pine against a right-handed starter, but it looks to be nothing more than a regular day of maintenance for the 29-year-old outfielder. Tommy Pham will slide over and cover left field, with Gavin Sheets drawing a start in right and Oscar Colas getting a rare start in center field for the White Sox. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
       
    • Absent from lineup again
      Velazquez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Rangers.

      Advice: The hot-hitting Freddy Fermin will make a second straight start at designated hitter. Velazquez has just a .401 OPS so far in June and has now been absent from the lineup for seven of 18 games this month. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
       
    • Astros recalled OF Joey Loperfido from Triple-A
      Astros recalled OF Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land.

      Advice: The Astros needed a position player with the amount of injuries they’ve had. Loperfido hit .333 with one home run and five RBI in 39 at-bats in his first taste of the majors earlier this year. The 25-year-old could have fantasy value in mixed leagues if he’s able to stick in the lineup this time around. It’s either said than done, but he’ll have a real chance with Jose Abreu out of the picture and Kyle Tucker still on the injured list. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
       
    • Headed to IL
      Caratini (left hip flexor strain) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Thursday.

      Advice: Caratini was lifted from Wednesday's game against the White Sox with soreness in his left quad, but imaging revealed he's in fact dealing with a left hip flexor strain. Cesar Salazar should see some catching work behind Yainer Diaz while Caratini is sidelined. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Astros recalled Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

      Advice: Loperfido has hit .333/.381/.436 with one homer and one steal in 15 games with the Astros, although that's come with a 39.5 percent strikeout rate. All of Loperfido's action in the minors lately has come in the outfield, so that figures to be his best path to playing time right now with the big club. He has also been used some at first base.

      Reds designated OF Conner Capel for assignment.

    • Astros placed Victor Caratini on 10-day IL
      Astros placed C Victor Caratini on the 10-day injured list with a left hip flexor strain.

      Advice: The move is retroactive to June 20th. The veteran backstop was hitting .248 with four home runs and 17 RBI in 105 at-bats this season. Cesar Salazar should fill in as the backup catcher. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago

    • Remains out of action
      Blackmon (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: It's the third straight contest he's missed as he deals with right hamstring tightness. The Rockies have been bullish on Blackmon's chances of avoid the injured list, but he'll have to be ready soon for that to happen. Hunter Goodman is at designated hitter and Sean Bouchard is in right field Friday. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
       
    • Out of Friday's lineup
      Amador (oblique) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Nationals.

      Advice: Amador had to be pulled from Thursday's game against the Dodgers with a mild oblique issue. It seems at this point to be more of a day-to-day situation, but between the injury, his slow start and Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) due back soon, Amador looks like an easy drop in most redraft leagues.
