  • Resting versus lefty
    Wade isn't in the Giants' lineup Friday versus the Diamondbacks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Wade will take a seat Friday as southpaw Jordan Montgomery prepares to make his first start of the season for Arizona. Wilmer Flores will take over at first base and bat second. Rotowire.com Today, 3:53 pm
  • Back in lineup Friday
    Cronenworth (calf) is starting at first base and hitting third in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Cronenworth left Monday's game against the Brewers after experiencing calf tightness. He sat out for the Padres' last two games, and the team's day off Thursday has given the 30-year-old enough time to heal up. Cronenworth is slashing .254/.333/.465 with three home runs and 14 RBI over 81 plate appearances to start the season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm
  • Takes swings Friday
    Carpenter (oblique) took swings during batting practice Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: Carpenter began taking infield practice last weekend, and Friday marks the first time the 38-year-old veteran has participated in batting practice. He remains without an official timetable, but he could head to the minors for a rehab assignment relatively soon if he's able to continue swinging without any issues. Rotowire.com Today, 3:25 pm

  • Jake Cronenworth returns to Padres lineup Friday
    Jake Cronenworth (leg) returned to the Padres’ starting lineup on Friday.

    Advice: The 30-year-old infielder sat out each of the team’s previous two games due to soreness in his right leg, but it appears to have been only a minor issue. He’s right back in there at first base and will bat third against Yariel Rodriguez and the Blue Jays on Friday evening. Rotoworld Today, 3:18 pm
  • Matt Carpenter (oblique) takes swings on Friday
    Matt Carpenter (oblique) took swings on the field during batting practice on Friday without any issues.

    Advice: As long as he’s feeling well on Saturday, the veteran slugger could be cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment. Since he’s been sidelined since the beginning of April, he’s going to need at least a couple of game’s worth of at-bats before he’s ready to return from the injured list. Rotoworld Today, 2:57 pm

  • Recalled from Reno
    The Diamondbacks recalled Smith from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

    Advice: Smith has been at Triple-A since the beginning of the season and has slashed .298/.417/.456 with 14 RBI across 72 plate appearances. His hot bat will earn him a spot on the big-league roster, though it's unlikely he sees consistent playing time while in the majors. Jace Peterson was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 2:52 pm
  • Diamondbacks recall Pavin Smith from Triple-A
    Diamondbacks recalled OF Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: The Diamondbacks cut bait on a slumping Jace Peterson on Friday, with Smith coming up from Triple-A to take his place on the active roster. The 28-year-old was hitting .298/.417/.456 with a pair of homers, 14 RBI and a 15/13 K/BB ratio over 72 plate appearances in his first 15 games at Triple-A Reno. Rotoworld Today, 2:48 pm
  • Out against lefty
    Walsh is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Walsh will sit for a third consecutive contest, as Atlanta will start left-hander Chris Sale on Friday. The righty-hitting Ezequiel Duran will start at first base and bat sixth in the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 2:14 pm
  • Out of Friday's lineup
    Schanuel is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Schanuel went 4-for-7 over the previous two games -- doubling his hit total from his first 14 contests of the season -- but will take a seat for Friday's series opener in Cincinnati. Miguel Sano will man first base while Brandon Drury (hamstring) returns to the lineup as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 1:39 pm
