    Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hand) was held out of the Marlins’ starting lineup on Friday after being hit by a pitch on Thursday.

    Advice: X-rays came back negative for any fractures, but the 26-year-old outfielder was still a bit sore on Friday so the decision was made to hold him out of action. Chisholm will be available off the Marlins’ bench on Friday and is expected to return to the starting lineup on Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:41 pm

  • Sitting versus righty
    Peralta is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: It's the fourth straight game on the bench for Peralta, though Friday's contest is the first of those to come against a right-handed starter (Nick Pivetta). Donovan Solano has been operating as San Diego's primary designated hitter, and it appears Peralta has been relegated to a bench role while stuck in a 3-for-23 (.130) slump. Bryce Johnson will make his fourth straight start in right field Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:13 pm
