  • Getting another day of rest
    Parker's next projected start will be pushed back to Monday at Atlanta, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports. Parker was initially scheduled to face the Mariners on Sunday.

  • Not starting again
    Melendez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: The 25-year-old outfielder will start from the dugout for the second straight matchup as right-hander Shawn Armstrong takes the mound for the Rays. Melendez has struggled to get his bat going this year, slugging .179/.232/.345 with 12 RBI, and going 3-for-19 in his last five games played. Nelson Velazquez will move to left field in place of Melendez and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

Corbin has been hit or miss this season, yielding five or more runs four times but surrendering fewer than three runs on three occasions. He owns a 6.29 ERA overall. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
