  • Scratched Friday with illness
    Drury was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Dodgers due to an illness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: After being scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to an illness, Drury was set to return to action Friday following the team's off day Thursday. The illness appears to have lingered around, however, and Drury will sit out for at least one more game. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat eighth against Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Brandon Drury (illness) scratched again on Friday
    Brandon Drury was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup once again on Friday night due to illness.

    Advice: Drury was scratched from the team’s lineup on Wednesday due to illness as well. The Angels had been hopeful that he would return to the lineup on Friday night, but he was still feeling a bit under the weather. He’s still considered day-to-day and could return to the lineup as early as Saturday. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago

  • Yankees among teams interested in Garrett Cooper
    According to Robert Murray of Fansided, the Yankees are among the teams that have expressed interest in free agent first baseman Garrett Cooper.

    Advice: It’s not surprising to hear that the Yankees are exploring external options with Anthony Rizzo (forearm), though most fantasy managers want to see them let Ben Rice get a chance to run with the opportunity. Cooper was released by the Red Sox last Saturday after hitting just .174/.227/.229 in 70 at-bats with the team. Rotoworld Today, 4:11 pm
     
  • Returns to lineup
    Drury (illness) is batting sixth and playing second base Friday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Drury was a late scratch Wednesday due to illness but after a team day off Thursday, he's feeling good enough to play. The second baseman is 1-for-6 since returning from the IL on Monday and owns a .469 OPS on the year. Rotowire.com Today, 3:48 pm

  • Sitting against southpaw
    Biggio isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Biggio has been platooning with righty Enrique Hernandez at third base since being acquired by the Dodgers. With lefty Patrick Sandoval on the mound for the Angels, it will be Hernandez who fills the hot corner Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:13 pm

  • Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) returns to lineup
    Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) returned to the Reds’ starting lineup on Friday night.

    Advice: Candelario was pulled from Tuesday’s game due to general fatigue and tendinitis and then sat out Wednesday’s game as a precautionary measure. He’s feeling much improved after a couple of days off though and is back in there as the Reds’ designated hitter on Friday night. He’ll bat third against Kutter Crawford and the Red Sox.

  • Nolan Jones (illness) returns to lineup on Friday
    Nolan Jones (illness) returned to the Rockies’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Nationals.

    Advice: The dynamic 26-year-old outfielder missed each of the team’s previous two games due to illness, but he’s right back out there in left field on Friday night. Jones will bat sixth against DJ Herz and the Nationals on Friday evening at Coors Field. Rotoworld Today, 1:45 pm

  • Absent from lineup
    Horwitz is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Cleveland.

    Advice: After starting each of the first five games upon his promotion, Horwitz has now been on the bench three times across the last seven contests, including twice against right-handers. Orelvis Martinez is getting the call at second base Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:43 pm
     
  • David Fry absent from Guardians lineup on Friday
    David Fry is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: After lighting the world on fire for a couple of weeks at the plate, Fry has fallen on hard times since the calendar flipped to June — hitting just .208/.269/.292 with zero homers, three RBI and a 10/3 K/BB ratio over 52 plate appearances in his last 12 games. Austin Hedges will function as the Guardians’ catcher on Friday night and will bat ninth against Yariel Rodriguez and the Blue Jays. Rotoworld Today, 1:32 pm
