  • Back in lineup
    Garver (back) is batting third and is the designated hitter for Friday's game against Baltimore.

    Advice: Garver was scratched Tuesday with back spasms and was forced to miss Wednesday's contest due to the issue. However, he'll be back in action for Friday's series opener against the Orioles. In May, Garver is batting .243 with two homers across 45 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Down in five spot Friday
    Machado will start at third base and bat fifth in Friday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: It's only the second time over the past nine seasons that Machado has batted lower than cleanup. The 31-year-old is in the middle of a 2-for-30 stretch at the plate to drop his season batting line to .222/.276/.346. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

  • Langeliers back in the lineup Friday
    Shea Langeliers is back in the Athletics lineup, batting fourth against the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: Langeliers had a routine day off on Thursday night against the Astros, but he’s back in the lineup on Friday. His average is just .218, but he has nine home runs and 24 RBI in 133 at-bats this season. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
  • Stewart out of the lineup on Friday
    DJ Stewart is out of the Mets lineup for Friday’s game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Even with Brandon Nimmo out, Stewart will be on the bench to begin Friday’s game as left-hander Jesus Luzardo will start for the Marlins. Stewart has just four at-bats against left-handed pitchers this season. He has four home runs and 16 RBI in 68 at-bats against right-handed pitchers this season. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Recalled to majors
    Julks was recalled to the majors Friday by the White Sox.

    Advice: After being traded to the White Sox Wednesday by the Astros, Julks will now be called up just two days later. The 28-year-old recorded two hits and one run on seven plate appearances across two games with Chicago's Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte after being traded, and he slashed .266/.358/.444 with five home runs with Triple-A Sugar Land prior to the trade.

  • Activated from IL
    Mendick (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

    Advice: Mendick was placed on the injured list in early May with soreness in his back and only needed two rehab starts before being activated. During those two Triple-A games, Mendick went 0-for-8 with two walks and a run scored. He'll replace Braden Shewmake on the big-league roster and could see immediate action at third base with Bryan Ramos on the 10-day IL with a strained left quad. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Held out again Friday
    Nimmo (illness) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest in Miami.

    Advice: Nimmo was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to a stomach bug and he's evidently still not feeling well enough to play. With Nimmo resting, the Mets will go with Tyrone Taylor in left field and in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
