  • Day off Friday
    Renfroe isn't in the Royals' lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Renfroe will get a chance to regroup Friday after going 0-for-10 across his last three games. Dairon Blanco will cover right field instead and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    Lynch was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Lynch will return to Omaha after tossing five scoreless innings in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Rangers and two perfect innings in Thursday's 10-4 win against the Angels. With Alec Marsh (elbow) being activated Friday, Lynch was the odd man out in Kansas City and he'll now have to wait for his next chance to join the major-league roster. The left-hander has struggled to a 5.86 ERA over 27.2 innings in six starts at Triple-A this season and he'll look to find a groove ahead of his next call up down the road.

  • Clears IL
    The Royals reinstated Marsh (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Marsh made his lone rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on May 5, striking out six and giving up one hit and one walk over four shutout innings while throwing 53 pitches. To make room for Marsh, the Royals optioned southpaw Daniel Lynch to Triple-A Omaha. Marsh will take the mound and start in Friday's series opener against the Angels. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

  • Jordan Beck not in Rockies’ lineup on Friday night
    Jordan Beck is not in the Rockies’ starting lineup for Friday’s matchup against the Rangers.

    Advice: It’s the first time that the 23-year-old outfielder has received a day off since his promotion from Triple-A. It’s been a rough go at the plate for him so far, hitting just .156/.156/.188 with one run scored, zero RBI and a 14/0 K/BB ratio. If things don’t improve soon, he’s likely ticketed for a return to Triple-A. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago

  • Paul Goldschmidt returns to Cardinals’ lineup
    Paul Goldschmidt returned to the Cardinals starting lineup for Friday night’s ballgame against the Brewers.

    Advice: The Cardinals had the struggling 36-year-old slugger take the previous two games off to work on reconstructing his swing. That makes sense, as he’s slashing a putrid .195/.287/.263 with just two homers, 11 RBI, one swipe and a 47/16 K/BB ratio over 152 plate appearances to start the season. There’s nowhere to go but up, so fantasy managers will just have to hope that whatever changes he made make a difference. He’ll bat third against rookie left-hander Robert Gasser on Friday evening in Milwaukee. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago
     
  • Masataka Yoshida (thumb) will not need surgery
    Red Sox’ manager Alex Cora announced Friday that Masataka Yoshida will not require surgery on his injured left thumb.

    Advice: He’s still going to be shut down for a couple of weeks before he starts swinging a bat again, but overall this is encouraging news for the Red Sox and for fantasy managers. Yoshida has been shelved since the beginning of May. He has hit .275/.348/.388 with a pair of homers, 11 RBI and an 11/6 K/BB ratio over 89 plate appearances in 24 games on the season.

  • Will start Saturday
    Estes will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Saturday's game against the Mariners, Martin Gallegos of MLB.comreports.

    Advice: Estes has accumulated a 6.04 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 28.1 innings in Triple-A, but he will come up from the minors for his season debut nonetheless. The 22-year-old right-hander gave up eight earned runs in major-league innings last season, and he isn't a recommended streaming option for Saturday. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
     
  • Giants recall Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Friday
    Giants recalled INF Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder flopped in his first taste of big league action in 2023, but perhaps things will be different this time around. Schmitt was hitting .276/.320/.448 with five homers, 31 RBI and five stolen bases through his first 33 games at Triple-A Sacramento. Expect him to see the bulk of the action at shortstop while Nick Ahmed (wrist) is shelved. Rotoworld 56 minutes ago

  • Set for another outing
    Smith (shoulder) is slated for an appearance for Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Smith started his rehab assignment with Syracuse on Wednesday, giving up a solo home run in the eighth inning while throwing 13 pitches. Smith is progressing through right shoulder inflammation that landed him on the 15-day IL on April 17. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
