  • Bryce Harper suffers left hamstring injury in loss
    Bryce Harper suffered a left hamstring injury during Thursday’s loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Not good. Harper suffered the apparent injury during the ninth inning of Thursday’s loss while attempting to beat out an infield grounder on the final play of the contest. The 31-year-old slugger, who crushed an RBI double off the base of the center-field wall in the opening frame against Marlins southpaw Trevor Rogers for his 1,000th career hit, will undergo additional testing to determine the severity of the injury. There should be an update on his status prior to Friday’s showdown. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:30 pm

  • Jake Burger homers, plates two in win over Phillies
    Jake Burger went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two RBI on Thursday in the Marlins’ win over the Phillies.

    Advice: Burger clubbed a solo homer -- his seventh long ball of the season -- off Phillies reliever Jeff Hoffman in the eighth inning before adding another insurance run in the ensuing frame with a run-scoring single. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:27 pm

  • Sitting Thursday
    Canha is absent from Thursday's lineup against the Angels.

    Advice: Canha had started Detroit's last 22 games but hit only .211 in that span. He had a 15.9 percent strikeout rate during that stretch -- lessening the reason for concern -- though he'll still get a day of rest. Gio Urshela is sliding to first base, Matt Vierling to third, and Adkil Baddoo enters the lineup in left field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:40 pm
     
  • 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 Yesterday, 2:55 pm

  • Not starting Thursday
    Drury (illness) isn't in the Angels' lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Drury will be missing his seventh consecutive game as he continues to fight off an upper-respiratory virus. There hasn't been any sort of indication from the Angels that they will place him on the injured list, so the 31-year-old should still be considered day-to-day. Luis Rengifo will start at second base Thursday with Miguel Sano at third. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:54 pm

  • Jeimer Candelario out Thursday with knee tendinitis
    Jeimer Candelario (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday’s contest against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Candelario will get another day off to rest and recover as he continues to manage right knee tendinitis. The expectation is that he’ll be able to manage the ongoing issue moving forward, but if he’s unable to return in a couple days, the Reds might not have a choice besides sending him to the injured list.

  • Remaining out Thursday
    Candelario (hamstring) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Manager David Bell said Wednesday that Candelario has been dealing with hamstring tendinitis for the past week, and while the team still doesn't plan on placing the 30-year-old on the injured list, the injury will cause him to miss a second consecutive game. Spencer Steer will get the nod at first base as a result, allowing Nick Martini to start in left field and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:59 pm

  • Out of Yankees lineup
    LeMahieu is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Toronto.

    Advice: LeMahieu is still without an extra-base hit this season and has tallied just one single across his last five games. Oswaldo Cabrera will occupy third base for the Yankees in their series opener versus the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:07 pm

  • Sitting Thursday versus lefty
    Horwitz isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees.

    Advice: With left-hander Carlos Rodon on the mound for New York, the lefty-hitting Horwitz will begin Thursday's contest on the bench. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will shift to second base as a result, allowing Ernie Clement to start at third while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:58 pm
