    Davis isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

    Musgrove (elbow) played catch Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Friday marks the first time Musgrove has played catch since he landed on the injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation. The 31-year-old righty said everything looked good after receiving an MRI and still expects to return from the injured list when eligible next Friday.

    George Springer was held out of the Blue Jays’ starting lineup on Friday due to illness.

    Advice: The 34-year-old picked up a bug during the Jays’ road trip and played through it on Wednesday, but manager John Schneider wanted to give him a day off on Friday.

  • Evan Carter sits against another southpaw Friday
    Evan Carter is once again on the Rangers’ bench against an opposing southpaw on Friday night.

    Advice: It’s the third time this week that the Rangers have faced a left-handed starter, and the third time that the 21-year-old outfielder has found himself on the bench. Ezequiel Duran will start in his place in left field and will bat seventh against Austin Gomber and the Rockies at Coors Field. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago

  • DFA'd by Seattle
    The Mariners designated Miller for assignment Friday.

    Advice: The move corresponds with right-hander Bryan Woo (elbow) being activated from the 15-day IL. Since having his contract selected from Triple-A Tacoma on April 8, Miller has appeared in nine games for the Mariners, posting a 3.09 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 12:1 K:BB over 11.2 frames. He should draw interest from teams looking to add a right-hander to the bullpen. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Dealing with back problems
    Adrianza said Friday that he has experienced issues with his lower back, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: It's uncertain whether or not Adrianza will require a trip to the injured list, but he said he received an MRI on Friday, which should help determine how long he may be out for. The 34-year-old has played in eight games since joining the Angels in late April, slashing .192/.250/.346 with two RBI in 28 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Max Kepler takes a seat against left-hander Friday
    Max Kepler is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s contest against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Kepler will get a rare night off with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi toeing the slab for the Blue Jays. Kepler has been on fire at the plate since returning from the injured list, slashing .434/.492/.755 with three homers, 14 RBI and a stolen base in 16 games. Expect him to come off the bench on Friday night, then he gets to mash against a pair of right-handers over the remainder of the weekend. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
