    • Orlando Arcia (tooth) returns to Braves’ lineup
      Orlando Arcia (tooth) returned to the Braves’ starting lineup for Friday night’s tilt against the Phillies.

      Advice: The 29-year-old shortstop missed each of the Braves’ last three contests due to an abscessed tooth and an infection that went along with it. Thankfully, he’s feeling much better on Friday and ready to return to action. He’ll start at shortstop and bat ninth against Aaron Nola and the Phillies on Friday evening in Atlanta.

    • Idle Friday
      Rocchio is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: Rocchio will get a breather Friday after making four consecutive starts at shortstop. Instead, Gabriel Arias will play short and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:56 pm
       
    • Not in Boston lineup
      Hamilton is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Hamilton has now started just two of the last six contests. He and Enmanuel Valdez have been sharing starts at second base against righties but will be Valdez at the keystone Friday versus lefty Nestor Cortes. Rotowire.com Today, 12:50 pm
       
    • Returns to lineup
      Arcia (tooth) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Phillies.

      Advice: Arcia missed three games after having an abscessed tooth extracted, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in the series opener versus a division rival. The 29-year-old sports a disappointing .582 OPS this season for Atlanta. Rotowire.com Today, 12:20 pm
       
    • Angels place 2B Luis Rengifo (wrist) on 15-day IL
      Angels placed 2B Luis Rengifo on the 15-day injured list retroactive to July 4th with right wrist inflammation.

      Advice: While recent X-rays on Rengifo’s wrist came back negative, the second baseman was still dealing with soreness in his right wrist and now finds himself on the injured list. This is a tough loss for fantasy managers as Rengifo was hitting .315 with 22 stolen bases this season. The timetable for his return is unclear. Rotoworld Today, 11:10 am

    • Goes on IL with wrist inflammation
      The Angels placed Rengifo on the 10-day injured list Friday with right wrist inflammation.

      Advice: It appears an MRI cleared Rengifo of any structural damage in the wrist, but with the All-Star break looming, the Angels have opted to go ahead and put the super utility player on the IL. Rengifo will be eligible for activation on July 14, the last day of the first half, but realistically he'll probably be held out at least through the break. He had been seeing most of his playing time lately at third base, and that position now figures to be occupied mostly by Miguel Sano. Rotowire.com Today, 11:01 am

    • Out of lineup, MRI results TBD
      Rengifo (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Cubs, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The Angels are still waiting on the results of an MRI on Rengifo's wrist, which he injured during Wednesday's game against the Athletics. He's currently listed as a reserve on the team's lineup card, but Keston Hiura has been added to the taxi squad and could replace Rengifo on the active roster, depending on the latter's test results.

    • Drawing start at third base
      Mastrobuoni will start at third base and bat eighth in Friday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: Christopher Morel is getting a second straight day in the designated hitter spot, so Mastrobuoni will be tasked with handling the hot corner. It's his first start since he was recalled from Triple-A Iowa back on June 18. Rotowire.com Today, 8:56 am

    • IL stint not ruled out
      Arcia is still not eating solid food after having an abscessed tooth pulled, and Atlanta might wind up placing him on the injured list, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: The shortstop is fighting an infection he developed before the tooth was extracted. "All he's getting in him right now, is kind of the [protein] shakes and soup and things like that," manager Brian Snitker said Thursday. "So we were hoping we could maybe get him over here today and move around a little bit. We'll get him out here [Friday]." Arcia hasn't played since June 30 and slashed just .155/.217/.238 through 92 plate appearances last month. While Atlanta remains optimistic he could return to the lineup in short order, per MLB.com his availability for this weekend's series against the Phillies is in doubt. Rotowire.com Today, 7:49 am
