  • Back in lineup Friday
    Goldschmidt is starting at first base and batting third in the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Goldschmidt has been absent from the starting lineup in each of the Cardinals' last two games. The veteran first baseman has not registered a hit over his last six appearances, and he is slashing .195/.287/.263 with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate this season. Goldschmidt will look to get back on track against Brewers southpaw Robert Gasser. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting against lefty
    Donovan isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: Left-hander Robert Gasser will make his MLB debut Friday as Milwaukee's starting pitcher, meaning the left-handed bat of Donovan will watch the beginning of the game from the Cardinals' dugout. Lars Nootbaar, Mike Siani and Dylan Carlson will start across St. Louis' outfield while Donovan sits. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Wilyer Abreu sits against southpaw on Friday
    Wilyer Abreu is not in the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Friday night’s tilt against the Nationals.

    Advice: While Abreu did draw a start against a left-hander on Thursday, he’s not in the lineup for a matchup against Patrick Corbin and the Nationals on Friday evening. Rob Refsnyder will start as the team’s designated hitter on Friday night and will bat second for the Red Sox. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting versus left-hander
    Gorman is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest with the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: Gorman will take a seat as left-hander Robert Gasser makes his major-league debut on the mound for Milwaukee. Jose Fermin will draw the start at second base in his place and bat leadoff against the Brewers. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Pirates transferred Delay (knee) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Delay will give up his spot on the 40-man roster in order to make room for Daulton Jefferies, who was acquired in a trade with the Giants on Friday. Delay was already expected to be out until July after undergoing knee surgery in April, so his move to the 60-day IL has virtually no impact on his return timeline. He has resumed catching during bullpen sessions, but he still has a long way to go before returning to the Pirates' lineup. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • Sent down Friday
    Williams was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

    Advice: After making the Opening Day roster, Williams produced a .239 batting average with two triples, a double, two RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base over 46 at-bats in 15 games with the Pirates so far in 2024, but he'll now head to Indianapolis. In his place, Nick Gonzales was recalled from Triple-A and will likely see most of his work at second base moving forward. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago

  • Idle for second straight
    Kirillof is not in the starting lineup for Friday's outing against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The 26-year-old will start from the dugout for the second straight matchup as Austin Martin will take left field versus Toronto lefty Yusei Kikuchi. Kiriloff has struggled lately to produce with his bat, going hitless in his last six games. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
     
  • Seiya Suzuki (oblique) returns to Cubs’ lineup
    Cubs activated OF Seiya Suzuki from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The 29-year-old slugger will make his triumphant return to the Cubs’ starting lineup on Friday, with Dansby Swanson (knee) hitting the injured list in a corresponding move. Suzuki has been sidelined since mid-April due to a right oblique strain. Prior to being shelved, he was hitting .305/.368/.525 with three homers and 13 RBI through his first 15 games on the season.

  • Remains on bench
    Loperfido is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Loperfido has a .316/.381/.316 slash line through his first seven big-league games, and he finds himself on the bench Friday for the fourth straight game. Jake Meyers is starting in center field and batting ninth in the series opener at Detroit. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
