  • Not starting Friday
    Jankowski is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Angels.

    Advice: The southpaw batter Jankowski will start from the bench as the Rangers take on lefty Tyler Anderson. With Evan Carter on the 10-Day Injured List, Jankowski has started the last three games at left field for the Rangers, going 3-for-10 in that stretch, though Ezequiel Duran will take left field and bat seventh against Los Angeles.

  • Poised for rehab assignment
    Edwards (foot) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Edwards' recovery from a bacterial infection in his left foot has gone very slowly, but he's finally ready to play in some games. It will be his first game action since early March, so he will need time in the minors to knock the rust off before the Marlins consider adding him to the big-league roster.

  • Has clubhouse locker, not with team
    Crawford (oblique/hand) didn't travel with the team to Baltimore but still has a locker in the Blue Jays' clubhouse, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The veteran shortstop was hit by a pitch on the hand during a rehab game Wednesday, and he's experienced some swelling and soreness. Crawford has yet to join the team, but the fact he has a locker could indicate he still may return from the injured list this weekend. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

  • Cleared for rehab assignment
    Anderson (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Anderson will play for Jacksonville on Saturday and Sunday before being reevaluated. He is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and it would appear he's in line to return at that time, assuming all goes well. Anderson has been battling lower-back tightness.

  • Idle versus lefty
    Moniak is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Rangers.

    Advice: The lefty hitting Moniak will start from the dugout as the Angels take on southpaw Andrew Heaney. Kevin Pillar will start at center field and bat fourth in place of Moniak with Taylor Ward and Jo Adell rounding out the Los Angeles outfield. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
