  • Brandon Drury (head) remains out of action Friday
    Brandon Drury (migraine) remains out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Guardians.

    Advice: It’s unclear if Drury is sitting again because he’s still dealing with the migraine issue, or if manager Ron Washington simply wanted to go a different direction with right-hander Tanner Bibee on the hill for the Guardians on Friday night. Luis Rengifo will cover second base in his absence while Willie Calhoun functions as the Halos’ designated hitter. Rotoworld 3 minutes ago

  • Sidelined again Friday
    Drury (migraine) isn't part of Friday's lineup against the Guardians.

    Advice: Drury was scratched from Wednesday's contest due to a migraine, and while it hasn't been confirmed that it's the injury holding him out of Friday's game, it can be assumed that that's the case. Luis Rengifo will make another start at second with Ehire Adrianza over at third. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Plays catch
    Ferrer (shoulder) played catch from 60 feet Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Ferrer had been shut down since mid-March with a strain of the teres major muscle in his right shoulder. He's on the 60-day injured list and it will be a while before he can return, but Friday's step was certainly an important one. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Takes seat Friday
    Bader is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Bader will get the day off Friday, as Tyrone Taylor fills in at center field against Aaron Civale and the Rays. Bader played in each game of the Mets four-game series against the Cubs, so it's likely a rest day for the center fielder. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Activated, batting seventh in debut
    Grissom (hamstring/illness) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base Friday against the Twins.

    Advice: The 23-year-old is recovered from a bout with the flu and has joined the Red Sox a few days later than initially expected. Grissom has a career .287/.339/.407 slash line in 64 big-league games and should see plenty of playing time at the keystone for the Red Sox. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Starting rehab assignment
    Garcia (illness) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Fredericksburg on Saturday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Garcia had a stomach bug bad enough that it forced an injured list move last month, but he's ready for games again. The reliever should return next week when first eligible. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Cleared for rehab assignment
    Gallo (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Fredericksburg on Saturday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: It's a relatively quick turnaround for Gallo, who went on the injured list less than a week ago with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder. Because he's missed so little time, Gallo shouldn't need too many rehab games before being activated. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Colton Cowser absent from Orioles lineup on Friday
    Colton Cowser is not in the Orioles’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: After lighting the world on fire at the plate for a while after joining the Orioles’ starting lineup, Cowser has struggled recently — hitting just .107/.265/.143 with zero homers, one RBI and a 14/5 K/BB ratio over 34 plate appearances in his last nine games. Heston Hjerstad will start in his place on Friday night and will bat eighth against Hunter Greene and the Reds. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Available Friday
    Manager Brandon Hyde said Kimbrel (back) is available as the Orioles' closer Friday in Cincinnati, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.comreports.

    Advice: The 35-year-old hasn't seen the field since his back acted up Sunday against the A's, but he's ready to go after resting up over the past few days. Kimbrel allowed three runs and recorded just one out while blowing saves in each of his past two outings, though the injury may have played a role in those results. He has a 3.18 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB over 11.1 innings for the season. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
