  • Patrick Bailey (concussion) to return on Saturday
    Patrick Bailey (concussion) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Saturday.

    Advice: The 24-year-old backstop caught a bullpen session for Blake Snell on Friday without any issues, which was the final hurdle to clear before returning. Expect Jakson Reetz to be optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento to clear a spot on the active roster. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
  • Jason Heyward (back) nearing rehab assignment
    Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Friday that Jason Heyward (back) will begin a rehab assignment at some point next week.

    Advice: The 34-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since the beginning of April due to stiffness in his back. He has been making progress in recent weeks though and is on track to return to the Dodgers’ lineup before the end of May barring any setbacks. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
  • Lung Hoo Lee (foot) remains out of Giants’ lineup
    Jung Hoo Lee (foot) remains out of the Giants’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: Lee also sat out Thursday’s game due to a sore foot. Giants’ skipper Bob Melvin said Friday that Lee may need an additional day off on Saturday, but that he should be able to return after that and won’t require a trip to the injured list. Let’s hope that’s the case and it doesn’t turn into an Jorge Soler (shoulder) situation. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago

  • 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 32 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 58 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 Today, 3:57 pm
  • 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.

  • 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 Today, 3:47 pm

  • Giants place Nick Ahmed (wrist) on 10-day IL
    Giants placed INF Nick Ahmed on the 10-day injured list with a left wrist sprain.

    Advice: The 34-year-old shortstop sustained the injury on April 27 when he was hit by a 108-mph line drive against the Rockies. He’ll sit for a couple of weeks and hope that the time off takes care of things. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacremento in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 3:44 pm
