  • Giants recall Casey Schmitt from Triple-A
    Giants recalled INF Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder will get another opportunity with the big league club with Marco Luciano (hamstring) heading to the injured list on Friday. Schmitt has struggled in his limited action this season, hitting just .136 (3-for-22) with one RBI and a 5/0 K/BB ratio. Look for Brett Wisely to see the bulk of the action at shortstop with Luciano shelved. Rotoworld Today, 3:37 pm

  • Late addition to Friday's lineup
    Ibanez will start at second base and bat seventh against the Red Sox on Friday.

    Advice: Ibanez was initially slated to sit Friday, but he was inserted into the lineup after Mark Canha was scratched due to left hip soreness. Ibanez will go up against Boston right-hander Tanner Houck. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 pm

  • Santiago Espinal delivers pinch-hit homer in win
    Santiago Espinal hit a two-run homer as a pinch-hitter to help propel the Reds past the Cubs 5-4 on Friday.

    Advice: Espinal hit for Will Benson against lefty Drew Smyly in the seventh and drove the first pitch he saw 385 feet to left-center. It would have been a homer in nine out of the 30 ballparks, says Statcast, Espinal is now batting .202/.261/.303 in 137 plate appearances for the Reds. Rotoworld Today, 2:40 pm

  • Athletics outright Nevin to Triple-A
    Athletics outright 3B Tyler Nevin to Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Nevin was designated for assignment on Tuesday and cleared waivers. He hit .220 with four home runs in 40 games for the Athletics. Nevin slumped badly in May going 3-for-47 (.064) with one home run. He’ll look to get his bat going again in Triple-A. Rotoworld Today, 1:00 pm

  • Absence continuing Friday
    Westburg (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old will miss a second straight game after being hit by a pitch on the right hand Tuesday against the Red Sox. Westburg had X-rays come back negative and should be considered day-to-day. Ramon Urias is starting at the hot corner Friday for Baltimore. Rotowire.com Today, 12:52 pm

  • Westburg out of lineup for second straight game
    Jordan Westburg (hand) is out of the Orioles’ lineup for Friday’s game against the Rays.

    Advice: Westburg is out of the lineup for the second straight game. He was hit on the right hand by a pitch on Tuesday, missed Wednesday’s game and the Orioles were idle on Thursday. Westburg is yet to be placed on the injured list and X-Rays on his hand came back negative. His next chance to get in the starting lineup will come on Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 12:47 pm

  • Outrighted by A's
    Nevin was outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday

    Advice: Nevin will stick in Oakland's organization after being DFA'd on Tuesday. He'll look to get his confidence back after going 1-for-43 at the dish with the A's before losing his roster spot. If he turns things around, Nevin could make his way back to the big leagues considering he batted .316 with three homers in April before falling into the slump. Rotowire.com Today, 12:46 pm

  • Sitting again
    Davis is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Davis will miss a third consecutive game Friday -- each of which has come against right-handed pitching. Considering the 31-year-old has been significantly better against southpaws, he could slip into the short side of a platoon. Tyler Soderstrom will fill in at the cold corner and bat eighth.

  • Busch out of lineup Friday
    Michael Busch is not in the Cubs’ lineup for their game against the Reds on Friday.

    Advice: The Cubs are using Cody Bellinger at first base, Mike Tauchman at DH with Ian Happ, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Seiya Suzuki in the outfield. Busch takes his turn on the bench Friday. With Crow-Armstrong back in the majors, the Cubs lineup is getting crowded. Busch is hitting .241 with eight home runs in 53 games. Rotoworld Today, 10:31 am
