  • Sitting against lefty
    Siani isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: With the Cardinals set to face left-hander Austin Gomber, the lefty-hitting Siani will step out of the lineup Friday. Dylan Carlson will get the nod in center field instead and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
     
  • Jarred Kelenic (wrist) available off bench
    Jarred Kelenic hit in cage prior to Friday’s game and is expected to be available off the bench against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic’s wrist must still be bothering him some or he’d be in the lineup against a right-hander tonight. Still, this is good news. Unfortunately, the Braves are facing lefties on both Saturday and Sunday, but Kelenic might start at least one of those games anyway. Rotoworld 53 minutes ago
     
  • Not facing southpaw
    Raley is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Raley will give way to righty Victor Robles again Friday with the Mariners facing another left-handed pitcher. Raley and Robles should continue to platoon, with Raley on the strong side of the split. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago

  • Sitting against southpaw
    Canzone is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: With lefty Daniel Lynch on the mound for Kansas City, Canzone will be held out of the starting lineup Friday. Righty-hitting Mitch Haniger will fill in at right field. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • Likely back Saturday
    Kelenic (wrist) is likely to return to Atlanta's lineup Saturday versus the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Kelenic is missing a second straight start Friday after tweaking his right wrist on a diving catch Wednesday. However, he hit in the cage Friday and will be available to pinch hit. Barring any complications, Kelenic should be back in there for Saturday's contest. Rotowire.com Today, 1:54 pm
     
  • Hits bench Friday
    Crow-Armstrong is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Cincinnati.

    Advice: Tough southpaw Nick Lodolo is starting for the Reds, so the lefty-hitting Crow-Armstrong will begin the contest on the bench. The rookie outfielder has now started just two of the last five games, with two of those coming against lefties. Cody Bellinger will be in center field for the Cubs on Friday.

  • Out against left-hander
    Tauchman is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Cincinnati.

    Advice: Tauchman has now been out of the lineup each of the last four times the Cubs have faced a lefty dating back to May 22, and he also was on the bench once versus a righty over that span. Christopher Morel is getting a start at designated hitter while Patrick Wisdom plays third base. Rotowire.com Today, 1:26 pm
     
  • X-rays return negative
    Hays (ribs) had X-rays come back negative but is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sunreports.

    Advice: Hays was hit by a pitch in the ribs Thursday against the Blue Jays and will be out of the lineup for at least one game as he deals with some bruising. It's possible he's available off the bench Friday. Colton Cowser will move to left field while Cedric Mullins starts in center and bats eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:22 pm

  • 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
