  • Jarred Kelenic (wrist) available off bench
    Jarred Kelenic hit in cage prior to Friday’s game and is expected to be available off the bench against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelenic’s wrist must still be bothering him some or he’d be in the lineup against a right-hander tonight. Still, this is good news. Unfortunately, the Braves are facing lefties on both Saturday and Sunday, but Kelenic might start at least one of those games anyway. Rotoworld Today, 2:05 pm

  • Not facing southpaw
    Raley is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Raley will give way to righty Victor Robles again Friday with the Mariners facing another left-handed pitcher. Raley and Robles should continue to platoon, with Raley on the strong side of the split. Rotowire.com Today, 2:02 pm

  • Sitting against southpaw
    Canzone is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: With lefty Daniel Lynch on the mound for Kansas City, Canzone will be held out of the starting lineup Friday. Righty-hitting Mitch Haniger will fill in at right field. Rotowire.com Today, 2:00 pm
     
  • Likely back Saturday
    Kelenic (wrist) is likely to return to Atlanta's lineup Saturday versus the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Kelenic is missing a second straight start Friday after tweaking his right wrist on a diving catch Wednesday. However, he hit in the cage Friday and will be available to pinch hit. Barring any complications, Kelenic should be back in there for Saturday's contest. Rotowire.com Today, 1:54 pm

  • Out against left-hander
    Tauchman is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Cincinnati.

    Advice: Tauchman has now been out of the lineup each of the last four times the Cubs have faced a lefty dating back to May 22, and he also was on the bench once versus a righty over that span. Christopher Morel is getting a start at designated hitter while Patrick Wisdom plays third base. Rotowire.com Today, 1:26 pm

  • X-rays return negative
    Hays (ribs) had X-rays come back negative but is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sunreports.

    Advice: Hays was hit by a pitch in the ribs Thursday against the Blue Jays and will be out of the lineup for at least one game as he deals with some bruising. It's possible he's available off the bench Friday. Colton Cowser will move to left field while Cedric Mullins starts in center and bats eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:22 pm

  • Should avoid injured list
    Manager Aaron Boone said Soto, who is out of the lineup Friday against the Dodgers, had imaging on his left elbow come back clean in addition to being diagnosed with forearm inflammation, and the outfielder could be available this weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 25-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with a severe injury and should be considered day-to-day. A quick return to the lineup this weekend is plausible, though Soto is certainly not guaranteed to see the field versus Los Angeles. Trent Grisham will enter the lineup in his place and man center field Friday, pushing Aaron Judge to right. Rotowire.com Today, 1:21 pm

  • Getting day off
    Kwan is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Miami.

    Advice: The Guardians have now mixed in two off days for Kwan in the outfielder's first week back from the injured list as they ease him into things. David Fry will be the left fielder Friday and Tyler Freeman will be elevated to the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 1:11 pm
     
  • Juan Soto day-to-day with forearm inflammation
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone called Juan Soto day-to-day with forearm inflammation.

    Advice: Tests didn’t reveal any ligament damage, so that’s good. Of course, it wouldn’t be the first time early tests failed to pick up on something, but optimism is warranted for now. Soto is not in the lineup for Friday’s game against the Dodgers, but he hasn’t been ruled out for the weekend. Rotoworld Today, 1:07 pm
