  • Getting breather versus LHP
    Carpenter isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: The left-handed bat of Carpenter will be forced out of the lineup Friday as southpaw Austin Gomber prepares to toe the slab for Colorado. Jose Fermin will instead serve as St. Louis' designated hitter while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 2:09 pm
  • Sitting against lefty
    Siani isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: With the Cardinals set to face left-hander Austin Gomber, the lefty-hitting Siani will step out of the lineup Friday. Dylan Carlson will get the nod in center field instead and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm
  • 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
  • On bench Friday
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Rojas will sit for a second straight game against a left-handed pitcher, with Daniel Lynch taking the mound for Kansas City in the series opener. Dylan Moore will slide to third base while Ryan Bliss plays second. Rotowire.com Today, 1:57 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
  • Fielding, could hit Friday
    Mateo (concussion) took ground balls Friday and could participate in batting practice, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Mateo was able to play catch Thursday and took another step forward in his rehab from a concussion he sustained June 2. The second baseman appears to be on track to return next week. Rotowire.com Today, 1:53 pm

  • On bench Friday
    Valdez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Advice: Valdez will dodge a matchup with southpaw Garrett Crochet, giving way to Jamie Westbrook at second base Friday. Since Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) got hurt on June 1, Valdez is 7-for-20 with three homers, eight RBI and one strikeout. Rotowire.com Today, 1:41 pm
