  • DFA'd by Cleveland
    Cleveland designated Florial for assignment Friday, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Advice: With Steven Kwan (hamstring) returning from the 10-day injured list, Florial will be the one removed to open up a spot on the 26-man roster. The 26-year-old outfielder is slashing .173/.264/.367 with 11 RBI across 36 games with Cleveland this year, and his next landing spot will be at Triple-A Columbus if he clears the waiver process.

  • Idle versus southpaw
    Brennan is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Washington, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Brennan will get a break as southpaw Patrick Corbin takes the mound for the Nationals. Gabriel Arias will move into right field and bat eighth in place of Brennan while Steven Kwan and Tyler Freeman round out Cleveland's outfield. Rotowire.com Today, 11:43 am

    Guardians designated Estevan Florial for assignment.

  • Steals 17th bag
    Young went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

    Advice: The 24-year-old center fielder has heated up again, batting .345 (10-for-29) over the last 10 games. Young remains limited as a fantasy asset -- he has yet to hit a homer this year and has a 4.5 percent walk rate -- but he tends to take full advantage when he does get on base. He's slashing .279/.338/.329 through 46 big-league games with 17 steals in 20 attempts, plus 14 RBI and 25 runs. Rotowire.com Today, 7:25 am
     
  • On base twice batting leadoff
    Margot batted in the leadoff spot and went 1-for-4 with a walk in Thursday's win over Kansas City.

    Advice: After a slow start to the season (.468 OPS through May 17), Margot is finally showing some signs of progress at the plate. He's 8-for-23 from May 18 through Thursday with two walks. He could get more at-bats as a righty platoon bat in left field as a result. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:49 pm

  • On bench Thursday
    Moniak is not in the Angels' lineup versus the Yankees on Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Moniak did not start in Tuesday's contest against the Yankees, but he did come off the bench as a pinch runner to score a run. The lefty hitter will take a seat Thursday with left-handed Carlos Rodon on the mound. The outfielder did get three plate appearances when he started Wednesday but did not reach base. With the 26-year-old out of the lineup, Kevin Pillar will start in center and bat cleanup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:57 pm

  • Nick Senzel (knee) returns to lineup on Thursday
    Nick Senzel (knee) is in the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Braves.

    Advice: Senzel left Wednesday’s contest in the second inning after fouling a ball off his right knee, so it’s an encouraging sign that he’s ready to go without missing any time. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:06 pm

  • In Thursday's lineup
    Senzel (knee) will start at third base and bat sixth in Thursday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Senzel eventually had to depart Wednesday's contest versus Atlanta after fouling a ball off his right knee in the second inning, but he's back in there the following day. The 28-year-old has experienced a power outage in May, going homerless in 22 games after he hit five in just 12 contests during April. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:33 pm

  • Taking seat Thursday
    Bader is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The Mets will go with Brandon Nimmo in center field for this one, with DJ Stewart getting the call in left field. Bader is one of the few Mets players playing at or above expectations this season with a 103 OPS+ along with stellar outfield defense. However, he's nonetheless found himself out of the lineup fairly often with 15 starts over the Mets' last 22 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:52 am
