  • Miguel Sanó (knee) begins rehab assignment
    Miguel Sanó (knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

    Advice: The 31-year-old slugger has been shelved with a knee issue since the start of May. It’s unclear how long he’ll need before he’s an option to return to the Angels’ lineup. Before landing on the injured list, Sanó had hit .262/.352/.361 with a homer, five RBI and a 27/8 K/BB ratio in 71 plate appearances with the Halos. Rotoworld Today, 2:22 pm

  • Idle against RHP
    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Houston.

    Advice: McKinstry will give way to the righty-hitting Ryan Kreidler at shortstop Friday despite right-hander Hunter Brown on the mound for the Astros. It'll be Kreidler's third start since Javier Baez (back) got injured, while McKinstry has only had two starts during that stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 2:06 pm

  • Royce Lewis getting a breather on Friday night
    Royce Lewis is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Athletics.

    Advice: The Twins have been careful to ease the 25-year-old slugger back into action following his return from the injured list, but after starting four straight games they decided it was a good time to give him a breather. Jose Miranda will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat fifth for the Twins against Mitch Spence and the Athletics. Rotoworld Today, 1:38 pm

  • Joey Gallo to undergo MRI on injured hamstring
    Joey Gallo was set to undergo an MRI exam on his injured hamstring on Friday.

    Advice: The results of that exam are not yet known. The 30-year-old slugger sustained the injury on Tuesday while he was running out a ground ball in the seventh inning. While the severity of the injury remains unclear, it sounds like the Nationals expect him to be sidelined for a while this time around. Rotoworld Today, 1:33 pm

  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Lewis is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Lewis is in the midst of a six-game hit streak, during which he's gone 9-for-23 with two homers, but he'll take a seat Friday after making four straight starts. Jose Miranda will step in at the hot corner and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:31 pm

  • Idle Friday, more AB's coming
    Singleton is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers but should get most of the at-bats at first base moving forward, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Jose Abreu off the roster, Singleton should be the clear-cut option at first base for the Astros, but he'll take a seat Friday with lefty Tarik Skubal on the mound for Detroit. Manager Dana Brown indicated Friday that Houston could look to acquire another first baseman unless Singleton "takes the bull by the horn," but Singleton should take the lion's share of first base work for the time being. Singleton is slashing .213/.316/.333 on the year but is 7-for-37 (.189) against LHP. Mauricio Dubon will play first and bat sixth Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:30 pm
  • Yainer Diaz (finger) returns to action on Friday
    Yainer Diaz (finger) returned to the Astros’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Tigers.

    Advice: It’s the first time that the 25-year-old backstop has been in the lineup since he took a foul tip off of his finger during Sunday’s game. He’ll serve as the team’s designated hitter and bat fifth against tough left-hander Tarik Skubal while Victor Caratini does the catching for the Astros and will bat eighth. Rotoworld Today, 1:28 pm
