  • Idle Friday
    O'Hoppe isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday versus the Royals.

    Advice: O'Hoppe will get a breather Friday after tallying six hits across his last three games. While he rests, Matt Thaiss will fill in as Los Angeles' backstop and bat sixth. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
     
  • Patrick Bailey (concussion) to return on Saturday
    Patrick Bailey (concussion) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Saturday.

    Advice: The 24-year-old backstop caught a bullpen session for Blake Snell on Friday without any issues, which was the final hurdle to clear before returning. Expect Jakson Reetz to be optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento to clear a spot on the active roster. Rotoworld Today, 4:47 pm
     
  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Pirates transferred Delay (knee) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Delay will give up his spot on the 40-man roster in order to make room for Daulton Jefferies, who was acquired in a trade with the Giants on Friday. Delay was already expected to be out until July after undergoing knee surgery in April, so his move to the 60-day IL has virtually no impact on his return timeline. He has resumed catching during bullpen sessions, but he still has a long way to go before returning to the Pirates' lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 2:17 pm

  • Not among starters
    Naylor is not included in the starting lineup for Friday's outing against the White Sox.

    Advice: The lefty catcher will get some rest as the Guardians take on southpaw starter Garrett Crochet. Austin Hedges will take over at catcher and bat ninth in place of Naylor. Rotowire.com Today, 1:24 pm
     
  • Out of lineup Friday
    Wells is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: The young backstop will not start against Tampa Bay while Jose Trevino catches and bats eighth. Wells has started four of the last seven matchups behind home plate for the Yankees, but it appears he and Trevino are in a near-even timeshare, as Wells has struggled to get the bat going with a slash line of .190/.321/.302 on the season.

  • Sitting again
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup Friday against the Yankees.

    Advice: Rortvedt will be out of the lineup for the second straight game, leaving catching duties to Alex Jackson. Rotowire.com Today, 12:29 pm
     
  • Resting Friday
    Fortes is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Philadelphia, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Fortes will cede backstop duties to Christian Bethancourt on Friday. In May, Fortes is batting 2-for-14 (.143) with a solo home run. Rotowire.com Today, 12:02 pm
     
  • William Contreras raises average to .340 in win
    William Contreras went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Thursday in the Brewers’ lopsided win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Contreras capped off a strong three-hit effort with a run-scoring single in the seventh inning that raised his full-season batting average to a remarkable .340 (50-for-147) mark through 37 games. The 26-year-old burgeoning fantasy star won’t sustain a .402 BABIP for much longer, but he’s proven that he’s going to be right around the .300 mark from a batting average standpoint thanks to his consistent hard contact and line-drive rate. The key to making the leap into an even greater offensive force will be whether he starts to put the ball in the air with increased frequency. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:24 pm
     
  • Idle versus lefty
    Melendez isn't in the Royals' lineup Thursday against the Angels.

    Advice: Lefty Reid Detmers will start on the mound for Los Angeles, sending the left-handed bat of Melendez into Kansas City's dugout for the beginning of the game. Dairon Blanco will instead serve as the Royals' left fielder and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:18 pm
