  • Not starting Friday
    Baty (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Baty missed Wednesday's game against the Pirates after experiencing tightness in his left hamstring Tuesday. He did some running and agility tests ahead of Friday's game, but he has not provided a timeline on his return, per Pat Ragazzo of SI.com. Baty has started the season slashing .305/.359/.373 with one home run and nine RBI over 64 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

  • Bryan De La Cruz goes deep in loss to Cubs
    Bryan De La Cruz crushed his fourth home run of the season on Friday afternoon, but it wasn’t enough to power the Marlins past the Cubs in Chicago.

    Advice: De La Cruz got the Marlins on the board in the fourth inning on Friday, crushing a 380-foot homer to center off of right-hander Jameson Taillon. All that did was put a Band-Aid on a stab wound though, pulling the Marlins to within six runs at 7-1. The 27-year-old outfielder finished the day 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. For the season, he’s now hitting .286/.294/.476 with four long balls and 11 RBI. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
     
  • Max Muncy getting a night off on Friday
    Max Muncy is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Friday evening’s showdown against the Mets.

    Advice: It’s just a regular day of rest for the 33-year-old slugger with left-hander Sean Manaea toeing the slab for the Mets. Miguel Rojas will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat eighth for the Dodgers on Friday evening in Los Angeles. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago

  • Brett Baty (hamstring) remains out of Mets lineup
    Brett Baty (hamstring) remained out of the Mets’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The good news, is that Baty was able to go through a full workout prior to the game and hasn’t been placed on the injured list, so the Mets seem to think that he’ll be back in relatively short order. Joey Wendle will start in his place at third base on Friday and will bat ninth against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers. Rotoworld Today, 4:04 pm

  • Hits bench versus lefty
    Yastrzemski isn't in San Francisco's lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle repors.

    Advice: Left-hander Jordan Montgomery will start on the mound for the D-backs, so the left-handed bat of Yastrzemski will stay put in the dugout to begin Friday's game. His absence will allow Austin Slater to start in right field and bat in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm
