  • Giants place Marco Luciano (hamstring) on IL
    Giants placed INF Marco Luciano on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 30, with a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: The 22-year-old infielder suffered the injury during Wednesday’s game. It’s unclear how long he’ll be shelved for. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to take his place on the active roster. Expect Schmitt and Brett Wisely to both see action at shortstop while Luciano is sidelined.

  • Lands on injured list
    The Giants placed Luciano on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Luciano made an early exit from Wednesday's game against the Phillies because of hamstring problems, and he will now officially be sidelined until at least June 10. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move and will presumably work in the short side of a platoon with Brett Wisely while Luciano is out. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago

  • Will start Friday
    Carlson is starting in right field and batting eighth for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Carlson was originally set to sit Friday, but he was inserted into the lineup after Brendan Donovan was scratched due to neck stiffness. Carlson is hitting .139/.244/.139 since being activated off the injured list due to a left shoulder sprain May 5. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Luis Robert Jr. (hip) expected to return next week
    Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun Times believes that Luis Robert Jr. (hip) will return to the White Sox’ lineup on Tuesday.

    Advice: The 26-year-old superstar is currently on a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte, where he received a planned day off on Thursday. He’ll remain there through the weekend, and if all goes well, he’ll join the White Sox in Chicago for their battle against the Cubs starting on Tuesday. Rotoworld Today, 3:23 pm
     
  • Visits specialist
    Massey (back) visited a specialist Friday and received multiple injections, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Manager Matt Quatraro said the Royals will wait to see how Massey's back responds to the treatment before determining when he will head to the minors for a rehab assignment. For now, the 26-year-old infielder remains without a clear return timetable, though he isn't eligible for activation until Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 pm

  • Mark Canha scratched Friday with sore left hip
    Mark Canha was scratched from the Tigers’ starting lineup on Friday due to soreness in his left hip.

    Advice: The 35-year-old outfielder is considered day-to-day. Andy Ibanez will replace him in the team’s starting lineup at second base with Colt Keith shifting to the designated hitter spot. The Tigers are already without Kerry Carpenter (back) for a significant amount of time, so they really can’t afford to have Canha to be out for long. Rotoworld Today, 3:18 pm

  • Scratched Friday
    Canha was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Red Sox due to left hip soreness.

    Advice: Canha was slated to serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot Friday, but the 35-year-old was removed from the lineup due to the injury. Colt Keith will shift to DH and Andy Ibanez will start at second base, while Gio Urshela moves up to fourth in the batting order against Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck. Rotowire.com Today, 3:17 pm

  • Goes 4.2 innings vs. Cubs
    Ashcraft didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

    Advice: It's the fifth straight start that Ashcraft's failed to record an out in the sixth inning -- he's allowed at least three runs in each of those outings. The 26-year-old right-hander is 4-3 on the year with a 4.76 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 47:21 K:BB across 11 starts (58.2 innings). The Reds will look for more length out of Ashcraft in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Colorado. Rotowire.com Today, 3:16 pm
