  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Martin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

  • Rehab assignment 7-to-10 days away
    Reds manager David Bell said Friday that Friedl (wrist) could be about 7-to-10 days away from beginning a rehab assignment, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Friedl has been building up strength in his fractured right wrist and ramping up his activity level. Things are going well so far and if he continues on the same pace it sounds like he could be cleared for games before the end of the month. While there's no timetable yet for his return to the active roster, Friedl makes for a viable stash if you have a free IL spot. Rotowire.com Today, 12:47 pm

  • Bell: Freidl could begin rehab assignment soon
    Reds manager David Bell told reporters that TJ Friedl (wrist) could be 10-14 days away from a rehab assignment if all stays on track.

    Advice: The 28-year-old outfielder was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to the regular season, but this is good news for fantasy managers that are hoping he can get back onto the field around early May. Friedl was diagnosed with a fractured right wrist in mid March and hopes to follow up a career-best 2023 season when he slashed .279/.352/.467 with 18 homers, 66 RBI and 27 stolen bases across 556 plate appearances.

  • Out again against righty
    Ruiz is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Cleveland.

    Advice: In four games since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, Ruiz has started once against a left-hander but has been on the bench all three times the Athletics have faced a righty. Ruiz's speed upside warrants him being held in deeper leagues in case he starts playing more, but it's clear Oakland plans for him to be a short-side platoon player at this point.

  • On bench against southpaw
    Kelenic is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Kelenic is 2-for-13 with six strikeouts over his past four games and will sit Friday since lefty Andrew Heaney is starting for Texas. Adam Duvall will receive another start in left field as the pair of outfielders continue to platoon the position. Rotowire.com Today, 12:31 pm

  • Absent from lineup
    Laureano is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Athletics.

    Advice: Laureano's playing time has slipped a bit of late, as he's now started every other game over the last five contests. Will Brennan is in right field and Estevan Florial will be the designated hitter Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:26 pm

  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Gallo is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Gallo started the previous 14 games and will take a seat after he posted a .170/.328/.447 slash line with three homers and a 43.1 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. Joey Meneses will start at first base versus Houston righty Justin Verlander (shoulder). Rotowire.com Today, 11:27 am

  • Enters as pinch hitter
    Refsnyder entered Thursday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in a 5-4 loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Refsnyder pinch hit for second baseman Enmanuel Valdez and stayed in the game to play left field. It was the season debut for Refsnyder, who opened the year on the 10-day injured list due to a toe injury. He was activated to take the roster spot of Tyler O'Neill, who landed on the 7-day concussion list. Refsnyder will likely be in the starting nine whenever the Red Sox face a left-hander.
