  • Not starting Friday
    Seager (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: The hamstring injury that caused Seager's departure from Wednesday's matchup with the Tigers is considered minor, but he'll still be out of the starting nine for at least one game. The 30-year-old is still on Texas' lineup card, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, and he isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list. Josh Smith will shift to shortstop while Ezequiel Duran receives a start at the hot corner. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Making first start of season
    Martinez is batting ninth and playing right field Friday against the Nationals.

    Advice: Martinez will make his first start of the campaign despite being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on May 27. With Jarred Kelenic (wrist) dealing with a minor injury and Ronald Acuna (knee) out for the season, Friday's start might not be a one-off for Martinez. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
