• Not in Friday's lineup
    Noda is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Baltimore.

    Advice: The 28-year-old sat against lefty Nestor Cortes on Thursday and is on the bench again Friday versus righty Corbin Burnes. Tyler Nevin will receive a start at first base as Noda has a .523 OPS through 83 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Out of lineup again Friday
    Naylor is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: It's the second straight game on the bench for the left-handed hitting Naylor, with this one coming against southpaw Chris Sale. Austin Hedges will do the catching for Logan Allen. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting versus lefty
    Gimenez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: Atlanta is starting southpaw Chris Sale, so it's not a bad day for the left-handed hitting Gimenez to get a breather. Gabriel Arias will handle second base Friday. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
  • Out again Friday
    Senzel (illness) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Marlins.

    Advice: Senzel was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to illness and will now miss a second straight start. The Nationals will use Trey Lipscomb as a fill-in at third base. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

  • Beginning rehab assignment
    Megill (shoulder) will start a rehab assignment Saturday at High-A Brooklyn, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The right-hander suffered a shoulder strain in his season debut March 31 against the Brewers, but he now recovered from the injury and is ready for game action. Megill figures to require at least two starts in the minors before being cleared to rejoin the Mets' rotation. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

  • Casas (rib) suffered torn cartilage, not fracture
    Triston Casas told reporters that he didn’t fracture his rib, but rather suffered torn cartilage.

    Advice: It’s a bit of a twist for Casas’ injury that was initially reported as a broken rib, but the 24-year-old is dealing with torn cartilage that is a bit unusual with a non-contact injury. Despite the change of diagnosis, Casas’ timetable to return is still very much in question ranging from three weeks to nine weeks before he can start ramping up for his return. He was optimistic that he can return this season, but for the time being, it’s a huge loss for the Boston’s lineup and fantasy managers. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
     
  • Slated to run soon
    Hays said Friday that he will test out his left calf strain with some running in a couple days, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Hays injured his calf last weekend and was eventually placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. He's feeling better, but the real test will come when he does some running and ramps things back up. Before getting injured, Hays had lost his left field job to Colton Cowser.

  • Facing hitters Monday
    Senga (shoulder) threw an up-and-down bullpen session Thursday and is slated to face hitters Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It will be the right-hander's first time facing hitters since he was diagnosed with a shoulder capsule strain back in late February. Senga still faces a long road ahead, but he's making nice progress and shouldn't be too far off from a rehab assignment if all continues to go well. He is on the 60-day injured list and not eligible for activation until late May. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
