  • Back in lineup
    Raley (shoulder) will bat fifth and play left field Saturday against Minnesota.

    Advice: Raley was held out of the starting nine for back-to-back games with shoulder soreness, but he's feeling good enough to start Saturday. He entered Friday's 3-2 win as a pinch runner in the eighth inning and put down a sacrifice bunt in his lone plate appearance. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:51 pm

    Advice: With lefty Max Fried slated to take the hill for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Tellez will step out of the lineup Saturday. Connor Joe will get the nod at first base and bat third. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:55 am

  • 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.

  • Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of Angels lineup
    Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Tigers.

    Advice: It’s the eighth consecutive game that Drury has missed due to illness — though he’s said to be making progress and getting closer to a return. Luis Guillorme will start in his place at second base on Friday night and will bat ninth against Kenta Maeda and the Tigers. Rotoworld Friday, 3:20 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 Friday, 2:31 pm

  • Productive in rout
    Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Yankees.

    Advice: The hit was a fluky one -- he squibbed a ball down the first-base line and it caromed off the bag and away from Ben Rice rather than rolling foul -- but Turner still put together a productive night in a 9-2 rout. The veteran slugger has found a groove at the plate, going 10-for-25 (.400) over the last eight games with a double, a homer, four RBI, seven runs and an 8:6 BB:K. Despite the surge, Turner's .715 OPS on the season would be his lowest mark since 2013. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:56 am

  • Brandon Drury out again Thursday due to illness
    Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Tigers.

    Advice: It’s honestly a total mystery why Drury hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet since he’s set to miss his seventh consecutive contest since last Wednesday due to an ongoing battle with a respiratory virus. At this point it’s unclear when he’ll be ready to return. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:55 pm
