  • Luke Raley (shoulder) remains out of lineup Friday
    Luke Raley (shoulder) remains out of the Mariners’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Twins.

    Advice: Raley will miss his second straight game due to soreness in his shoulder. The good news, is that an MRI revealed no structural damage and the 29-year-old outfielder is expected to be available off the Mariners’ bench on Friday. He should be considered day-to-day.

  • Early exit Friday
    Winker was removed from Friday's game against the Rays with what appears to be a right ankle injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Winker sustained the injury running into the wall while tracking down a flyball in the first inning. Though he was able to walk off under his own power, he sported a noticeable limp. Ildemaro Vargas replaced Winker in left field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:20 pm
     
  • Garrett Mitchell’s rehab assignment nearly over
    Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy noted on Friday that the final day for Garrett Mitchell’s (finger) minor league rehab assignment is on Saturday.

    Advice: Murphy also told reporters that there haven’t been any discussions about activating the 25-year-old outfielder and optioning him to Triple-A Nashville. That means that the Brewers will have some decisions to make about their roster before the weekend is through. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:27 pm

  • Rehab assignment ending soon
    Manager Pat Murphy said Friday the rehab assignment for Mitchell (finger) will end Saturday and the team hasn't had discussions about optioning him, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: The Brewers are currently dealing with a logjam in the outfield, with Christian Yelich, Blake Perkins, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio all seeing significant action during Mitchell's absence due to a fractured finger. Considering the injury and Milwaukee's outfield depth, it's possible that Mitchell will remain with Triple-A Nashville after being reinstated. However, Murphy's comments don't seem to support that possibility. Mitchell was removed from Wednesday's rehab outing with an unrelated hamstring injury but was able to suit up and play Thursday. Regardless of what level he ends up playing, Mitchell should be activated from the 60-day IL this weekend. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:00 pm

  • On bench again
    Raley (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Raley was scratched from Wednesday's game with shoulder soreness and, despite Thursday's team off day, he'll remain out of the starting nine for the series opener against Minnesota. Up to this point, all indications are that the injury isn't a long-term concern. Dominic Canzone, Julio Rodriguez and Mitch Haniger fill the outfield Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:31 pm

  • Eddie Rosario returns to Nationals lineup Friday
    Eddie Rosario is back in the Nationals’ starting lineup as the DH and No. 5 hitter on Friday.

    Advice: Rosario sat against a righty on Wednesday, and with the announcement that fellow left-handed hitter James Wood is coming up Monday, Rosario seems like the obvious choice to get bumped from the Nationals roster. Until that’s official, though, it looks like he’ll get a chance to show he’s worth keeping around. Rosario has a dreadful .181/.226/.330 line this season, but it actually comes with the best hard-hit rate of his career at 45.5%. His average exit velocity of 90.6 mph is 2.5 mph better than his career mark. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:28 pm
