  • Stewart out of the lineup on Friday
    DJ Stewart is out of the Mets lineup for Friday’s game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Even with Brandon Nimmo out, Stewart will be on the bench to begin Friday’s game as left-hander Jesus Luzardo will start for the Marlins. Stewart has just four at-bats against left-handed pitchers this season. He has four home runs and 16 RBI in 68 at-bats against right-handed pitchers this season. Rotoworld Today, 12:56 pm
     
  • Recalled to majors
    Julks was recalled to the majors Friday by the White Sox.

    Advice: After being traded to the White Sox Wednesday by the Astros, Julks will now be called up just two days later. The 28-year-old recorded two hits and one run on seven plate appearances across two games with Chicago's Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte after being traded, and he slashed .266/.358/.444 with five home runs with Triple-A Sugar Land prior to the trade.

  • Held out again Friday
    Nimmo (illness) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest in Miami.

    Advice: Nimmo was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to a stomach bug and he's evidently still not feeling well enough to play. With Nimmo resting, the Mets will go with Tyrone Taylor in left field and in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 12:52 pm

  • Acuna Jr. back in the lineup on Friday
    Ronald Acuna Jr. is back in the lineup, batting first for the Braves against the Padres on Friday.

    Advice: Acuna Jr. received the day off on Wednesday as the Braves look for him to break out of his slump. He went 0-for-5 at the plate on Tuesday, which dropped his average to .245 on the season. Acuna Jr.'s .696 OPS is the lowest of his career. Hopefully the short break helps him get on track. Rotoworld Today, 12:46 pm
     
  • Young on the bench Friday
    Jacob Young is on the bench for the Nationals against the Phillies on Friday.

    Advice: Young was in the leadoff spot when the Nationals last played on Wednesday. He’s hitting .262 with no home runs this year, but he also has 14 stolen bases in 34 games. Rotoworld Today, 12:36 pm
     
  • Carroll returns to the lineup on Friday
    Corbin Carroll is back in the Diamondbacks lineup, batting second against the Tigers on Friday.

    Advice: Carroll came off the bench and pinch ran and scored a run on Wednesday. Fantasy managers have to be frustrated with Carroll’s production so far this season as he’s hitting just .193 with a .539 OPS. Only seven qualified hitters have a lower batting average entering play Friday. It’s not what you want from a first round pick. Rotoworld Today, 12:25 pm
     
  • Starting as designated hitter
    Santander (knee) is in the starting lineup as the designated hitter for Friday's matchup against the Mariners.

    Advice: Santander hurt his knee in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays after first colliding with the outfield wall and then hitting it again during a slide, which led to his exit from the game. The veteran outfielder will be eased back into the lineup at designated hitter while Ryan O'Hearn mans right field. Rotowire.com Today, 12:25 pm
     
  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Young is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

    Advice: Young had started eight of the last nine contests, including six of them from the leadoff spot. He'll get a breather Friday, though, as Victor Robles patrols center field for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 12:16 pm
     
  • Activated from IL
    Gallo (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: As expected, Gallo will return to the big-league roster after being placed on the 10-day IL on April 27 with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder. In a corresponding move, Trey Lipscomb was optioned to Triple-A Rochester. Before the injury, Gallo was seeing most of his work in right field, and he should continue to play in right since Lane Thomas (knee) is still sidelined. Rotowire.com Today, 11:43 am
