  • Should avoid injured list
    Manager Aaron Boone said Soto, who is out of the lineup Friday against the Dodgers, had imaging on his left elbow come back clean in addition to being diagnosed with forearm inflammation, and the outfielder could be available this weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 25-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with a severe injury and should be considered day-to-day. A quick return to the lineup this weekend is plausible, though Soto is certainly not guaranteed to see the field versus Los Angeles. Trent Grisham will enter the lineup in his place and man center field Friday, pushing Aaron Judge to right. Rotowire.com Today, 1:21 pm

  • Getting day off
    Kwan is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Miami.

    Advice: The Guardians have now mixed in two off days for Kwan in the outfielder's first week back from the injured list as they ease him into things. David Fry will be the left fielder Friday and Tyler Freeman will be elevated to the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 1:11 pm
  • Juan Soto day-to-day with forearm inflammation
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone called Juan Soto day-to-day with forearm inflammation.

    Advice: Tests didn’t reveal any ligament damage, so that’s good. Of course, it wouldn’t be the first time early tests failed to pick up on something, but optimism is warranted for now. Soto is not in the lineup for Friday’s game against the Dodgers, but he hasn’t been ruled out for the weekend. Rotoworld Today, 1:07 pm

  • Out versus southpaw
    Benson is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Cubs.

  • Playing time trending down
    Rosario is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus Atlanta.

    Advice: It's the third time in four games that Rosario has been out of the lineup. Two of those have been against lefties -- including Friday -- but Rosario also sat out Thursday's contest versus a right-hander. Jesse Winker and Lane Thomas will handle corner outfield duties for the Nationals on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:47 pm
  • Out of lineup against lefty
    Gallo is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Gallo started against a lefty earlier this week, but he will begin Friday's game on the bench as Atlanta turns to southpaw Chris Sale as its starting pitcher. Joey Meneses will start at first base for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 12:44 pm

  • Making first start of season
    Martinez is batting ninth and playing right field Friday against the Nationals.

    Advice: Martinez will make his first start of the campaign despite being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on May 27. With Jarred Kelenic (wrist) dealing with a minor injury and Ronald Acuna (knee) out for the season, Friday's start might not be a one-off for Martinez. Rotowire.com Today, 12:44 pm
  • Guardians outright Florial to Triple-A
    Guardians sent OF Estevan Florial outright to Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Florial was designated for assignment last week. He hit .173 with three home runs for the Guardians earlier this season. No longer part of Cleveland’s 40-man roster, Florial will continue to serve as outfield depth. Rotoworld Today, 12:41 pm
  • Out against right-hander
    Kirilloff is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Right-hander Mitch Keller will be toeing the slab for the Pirates, but the left-handed hitting Kirilloff nonetheless finds himself beginning this one on the bench. Trevor Larnach is in left field and Jose Miranda will be the designated hitter for the Twins. Rotowire.com Today, 12:40 pm
