  • Brandon Drury (illness) scratched again on Friday
    Brandon Drury was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup once again on Friday night due to illness.

    Advice: Drury was scratched from the team’s lineup on Wednesday due to illness as well. The Angels had been hopeful that he would return to the lineup on Friday night, but he was still feeling a bit under the weather. He’s still considered day-to-day and could return to the lineup as early as Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:45 pm

  • Returns to lineup
    Drury (illness) is batting sixth and playing second base Friday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Drury was a late scratch Wednesday due to illness but after a team day off Thursday, he's feeling good enough to play. The second baseman is 1-for-6 since returning from the IL on Monday and owns a .469 OPS on the year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:48 pm

  • Royals activate OF Hunter Renfroe for Friday return
    Royals activated OF Hunter Renfroe from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Renfroe’s toe turned out not to be fractured after all and he’s back with the Royals already. He’s hitting .200 with six home runs and 26 RBI in 170 at-bats with Kansas City. Renfroe will have to pick up his performance or the Royals could look for an outfield upgrade around the trade deadline. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:12 pm
     
  • Returns from injured list
    The Royals reinstated Renfroe (toe) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: The 32-year-old resumed taking swings over the weekend and is back on the active roster after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf with a bruised toe. Renfroe had a hot start to June prior to the injury as he went 7-for-18 with two doubles, two homers and six RBI in six games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:47 am
     
  • Moves rehab to Triple-A
    Foscue (oblique) was transferred to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday to continue his rehab assignment.

    Advice: Foscue went 7-for-17 with one home run in six games with the Rangers' Arizona Complex League affiliate after missing two months with a left oblique strain. He could be ready for activation soon, but Foscue isn't a given to rejoin the major-league roster at that time. Rotowire.com Thursday, 12:02 pm

  • Brandon Drury scratched with illness on Wednesday
    Brandon Drury was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup on Wednesday night due to illness.

    Advice: The 31-year-old infielder had just returned from the injured list on Monday, so it’s encouraging to hear that it’s just an illness keeping him out of action and not a recurrence of his hamstring issue. He should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:43 pm

  • Scratched with illness
    Drury was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Wednesday's game versus Milwaukee due to an illness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Drury has gone 1-for-6 with a walk since returning from the injured list Monday, but he'll be sidelined once again Wednesday as he fights off an illness. Luis Guillorme will instead start at the keystone and bat ninth versus right-hander Freddy Peralta. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:38 pm

  • Moving back to bench Wednesday
    Goodman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Goodman started each of the last four games -- two at designated hitter, two at catcher -- and went 6-for-17 with three home runs and one double, but he hasn't quite seized hold of an everyday role just yet. Jacob Stallings remains the Rockies' No. 1 catcher while Elias Diaz (calf) is on the shelf, and Charlie Blackmon and Elehuris Montero are also expected to factor into the mix at DH until Kris Bryant (oblique) returns from the injured list. Goodman may need to turn in a few more quality performances at the plate in his subsequent starts before the Rockies make him a fixture in the lineup. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:34 pm
     
  • Sitting against lefty
    Singleton isn't in the Astros' lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Left-hander Garrett Crochet will start on the hill for Chicago, so the lefty-hitting Singleton will retreat to the bench. Mauricio Dubon will slide over to first base instead, opening up left field for Cooper Hummel. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:17 pm
