    • Heston Kjerstad sits against left-hander on Friday
      Heston Kjerstad is not in the Orioles’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Athletics in Oakland.

      Advice: Once again the 25-year-old slugger finds himself on the sideline with an opposing left-hander on the hill. Austin Hays will start in left field for the Orioles on Friday night and will bat sixth against Hogan Harris and the Athletics. Rotoworld Today, 4:07 pm
       
    • Getting breather
      Springer is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Springer will get his first true day off since June 18, yielding to Addison Barger in right field. After a slow start to 2024, Springer has began to turn thing around as of late, going 14-for-30 with four home runs over his last nine games. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm
       
    • Ian Happ drives in two runs in Cubs’ victory
      Ian Happ had two more hits and two more RBI against the Angels in Friday’s win.

      Advice: Just like last night, it was again Happ and Seiya Suzuki, who hit a two-run homer, doing the heavy lifting for the Cubs offense. They both have .806 OPSs at the moment and, given the state of the NL outfield poor, legitimate cases for All-Star nods. Happ probably has the better argument, since he’s played in 20 more games than Suzuki. Rotoworld Today, 2:32 pm

    • Resting against lefty
      Isbel isn't in the Royals' lineup for Friday's game versus Colorado.

      Advice: With southpaw Kyle Freeland set to toe the slab for the Rockies, the left-handed bat of Isbel will step out of the lineup. Garrett Hampson will take over in center field while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:24 pm
       
    • Sitting against southpaw
      Melendez isn't in the Royals' lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Melendez will retreat to the dugout Friday as left-handed starter Kyle Freeland starts on the bump for Colorado. Dairon Blanco, Garrett Hampson and Hunter Renfroe will make up the Royals' outfield while Melendez rests. Rotowire.com Today, 2:22 pm
       
    • Set to return Tuesday
      Schwarber (groin) is expected to be activated off the injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Schwarber has been working through drills at 90 percent intensity, per Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia, and the 31-year-old slugger will run the bases Saturday in what is the last step in his rehab program before rejoining the team. Schwarber is slashing .250/.373/447 with 17 home runs, 49 RBI and a .820 OPS over 367 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 2:18 pm
       
    • Idle Friday
      Canha is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: Canha has three hits in his last 39 at-bats and will be absent from the starting nine for the second time in three games. Gio Urshela will play first base while Matt Vierling fills the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 2:17 pm
       
    • Not in Friday's lineup
      McKinstry isn't in the Tigers' lineup Friday versus the Reds.

      Advice: McKinstry has gone 0-for-14 over his last five games, so he'll get a chance to regroup Friday while Ryan Kreidler starts at shortstop and bats ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:16 pm

    • Mark Canha not in Tigers lineup on Friday night
      Mark Canha is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Reds in Cincinnati.

      Advice: It’s the second time in the last three games that Canha has been excluded from the lineup, so perhaps he’s battling something minor. Gio Urshela will cover first base in his absence on Friday night and will bat seventh against Carson Spiers and the Reds. Rotoworld Today, 2:12 pm
