      Advice: The dynamic 26-year-old outfielder missed each of the team’s previous two games due to illness, but he’s right back out there in left field on Friday night. Jones will bat sixth against DJ Herz and the Nationals on Friday evening at Coors Field. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago

    • TJ Friedl (hamstring) returns to action on Friday
      TJ Friedl (hamstring) returned to the Reds’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Friedl had missed each of the team’s last two games due to tightness in his hamstring. The 28-year-old outfielder has struggled to stay on the field this season, managing to hit .214/.320/.381 with four homers, 15 RBI and six stolen bases in just 23 games in-between stints on the injured list. He’s starting in left field and batting leadoff for the Reds on Friday night against Kutter Crawford and the Red Sox. Rotoworld Today, 1:17 pm
       
    • Ketel Marte absent from Diamondbacks lineup Friday
      Ketel Marte is absent from the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Phillies in Philadelphia.

      Advice: It appears to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the hard-hitting second baseman. Blaze Alexander will draw a rare start at second base in his place and will bat eighth for the Diamondbacks against Taijuan Walker and the Phillies on Friday evening in Philadelphia.

    • Back in Cincinnati lineup
      Friedl will start in center field and bat leadoff in Friday's game versus the Red Sox.

      Advice: Friedl missed two games after his hamstring tightened up on him Monday, but he's ready to go now following the Reds' team off day Thursday. Although he's slashed just .214/.320/.381 so far in an injury-shortened season, Friedl does have four home runs and six stolen bases over 97 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:09 pm
       
    • Not in Friday's lineup
      Marte is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

      Advice: Marte served as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter Thursday and is now out of their lineup altogether, although there's no indication at this point that this is anything other than a routine day off. Blaze Alexander is handling second base Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:22 am
       
    • Smacks 10th homer
      Ramos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: The outfielder has been on a power surge with four homers over his last seven games, and he's added 11 RBI in that span. Ramos leads the Giants with 10 long balls this season, and every other player on the team with at least five homers has played in a minimum of 50 games compared to his 39. Ramos has added a .307/.382/.553 slash line with 35 RBI, 17 runs scored, one stolen base and seven doubles across 170 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 10:18 am
       
    • Adds finishing touch in win
      Walker went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-2 win over Washington.

      Advice: Walker provided an insurance run with a solo blast in the ninth inning for his team-leading 17th home run of the season and fifth in the last eight games. He also leads the Diamondbacks with 50 RBI. The 33-year-old can still bring it, as Walker possesses top-shelf bat speed (89th percentile), average exit velocity (84th percentile), barrel rate (97th percentile) and hard-hit rate (88th percentile).

      Freeman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday in a 5-3 win against Colorado.

      Advice: Freeman accounted for the Dodgers' final run of the contest with his fourth-inning solo shot to center field. The veteran first baseman is up to 11 long balls on the season, with five of them coming in June. Freeman has added to his standout month with a .354 average, 12 RBI, 17 runs, two stolen bases and a 14:10 BB:K through 18 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:22 pm
