    • White Sox option Zach DeLoach to Triple-A
      White Sox optioned OF Zach DeLoach to Triple-A Charlotte.

      Advice: With the return of Tommy Pham (ankle) from the injured list on Friday, the White Sox needed to clear a spot on their active roster and unfortunately for DeLoach, he was the odd-man out this time around. The 25-year-old hit just .136 (3-for-22) with a double, one RBI and a 9/3 K/BB ratio in 25 plate appearances with the big league club. He’ll return to an everyday role at the Triple-A level until he’s needed once more. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
       
    • Lands on IL with calf strain
      The Rockies placed Diaz on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left calf strain, retroactive to June 11.

      Advice: Diaz was removed in the bottom half of the first inning of Monday's game against the Twins after straining his left calf while running out of the batter's box to first base. He was held out for the rest of the series against Minnesota with the hope he would be available for the weekend series against Pittsburgh, but the 33-year-old catcher will be on the shelf for an extended period of time. Jacob Stallings got the start for Diaz over the last two games of the series against the Twins, and the former figures to get most of the starts behind home plate in the latter's absence, though Hunter Goodman will provide some depth and will start at catcher for Saturday's game, per Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com.

    • Idle against southpaw
      Heyward is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: Heyward is 2-for-19 in his last five starts and will take a seat Friday with lefty Cole Ragans on the mound for Kansas City. Chris Taylor, Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernandez will fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
       
    • Looks sharp Friday
      Hendricks tossed 4.1 scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Cardinals. He allowed two hits and struck out one.

      Advice: Chicago starter Jordan Hicks departed after just 1.2 innings due to an oblique injury, which pushed Hendricks into action. The veteran responded well and had perhaps his best outing of the season, giving the Cubs some much-needed length out of the bullpen. While Hendricks still has an ugly 8.20 ERA overall, he's been better lately with 8.2 scoreless innings over his last three appearances. However, Hendricks still has limited fantasy appeal in his current long-relief role. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting versus lefty
      Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Friday versus the Royals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

      Advice: With southpaw Cole Ragans on the mound for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Lux will watch the beginning of Friday's contest from Los Angeles' dugout. Miguel Rojas will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago

    • Elects free agency
      Bowman cleared waivers and elected free agency Friday.

      Advice: The Mariners designated Bowman for assignment Tuesday and after going unclaimed, the 33-year-old will try his luck on the open market. He's already seen action with three MLB clubs this season, combining to pitch 15.0 innings with a 5.40 ERA during stints with Arizona, Minnesota and Seattle. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
       
    • Tommy Pham (ankle) returns to White Sox’ lineup
      White Sox activated OF Tommy Pham from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: The 36-year-old outfielder will jump right back into the leadoff spot in the White Sox’ lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Diamondbacks. Pham has been one of the best hitters in the team’s lineup this season — hitting .280/.331/.403 with three homers, 12 RBI and three stolen bases through his first 33 contests.

    • Reinstated from IL
      Jones (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

      Advice: Jones has been on the injured list since April 30 due to back stiffness. His initial rehab assignment was halted May 21 due to right knee soreness stemming from a slide, but he was able to resume activities June 3. Jones appeared in nine games for his second rehab stint with Triple-A Albuquerque, going 8-for-33 with three doubles, one home run and five RBI. The 26-year-old will be available for Friday's series opener against the Pirates. To make room for Jones, Colorado placed Elias Diaz on the 10-day IL with a left calf strain, retroactive to June 11.

    • Won't undergo surgery
      Manager David Bell said Friday that Williamson will not undergo surgery on his left shoulder, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Surgery to remove a lesion from Williamson's left shoulder would have put an early ending to his season before it even started, but the lefty will instead decline the procedure in an effort to return to the Reds' rotation as soon as possible. The 26-year-old southpaw will receive injections in his shoulder and be shut down from throwing for the next three weeks. At that point, the Reds will re-evaluate him and determine his next steps.
