  • 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 2:02 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 Yesterday, 1:54 pm

  • Hits bench Friday
    Crow-Armstrong is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Cincinnati.

    Advice: Tough southpaw Nick Lodolo is starting for the Reds, so the lefty-hitting Crow-Armstrong will begin the contest on the bench. The rookie outfielder has now started just two of the last five games, with two of those coming against lefties. Cody Bellinger will be in center field for the Cubs on Friday.

  • Out against left-hander
    Tauchman is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Cincinnati.

    Advice: Tauchman has now been out of the lineup each of the last four times the Cubs have faced a lefty dating back to May 22, and he also was on the bench once versus a righty over that span. Christopher Morel is getting a start at designated hitter while Patrick Wisdom plays third base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:26 pm
     
  • X-rays return negative
    Hays (ribs) had X-rays come back negative but is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sunreports.

    Advice: Hays was hit by a pitch in the ribs Thursday against the Blue Jays and will be out of the lineup for at least one game as he deals with some bruising. It's possible he's available off the bench Friday. Colton Cowser will move to left field while Cedric Mullins starts in center and bats eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:22 pm

  • Out versus southpaw
    Benson is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Cubs.

    Advice: The left-handed hitting Benson will take a seat as the Cubs send southpaw Justin Steele to the hill. Blake Dunn, TJ Friedl and Stuart Fairchild will handle outfield duties for the Reds on Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:54 pm

  • Playing time trending down
    Rosario is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus Atlanta.

    Advice: It's the third time in four games that Rosario has been out of the lineup. Two of those have been against lefties -- including Friday -- but Rosario also sat out Thursday's contest versus a right-hander. Jesse Winker and Lane Thomas will handle corner outfield duties for the Nationals on Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:47 pm
