Austin Slater expected to avoid injured listAustin Slater (flexor strain) was able to hit soft toss on Friday and could be able to function as the Giants' designated hitter in the next couple of days.
Advice: Manager Gabe Kapler indicated Friday that Slater wasn't a candidate for the injured list -- at least for now. The 27-year-old is off to a terrific start for the Giants this season, slashing .342/.444/.632 with three homers, four RBI and five stolen bases in only 38 at-bats.

Starlin Castro suffers broken right wrist FridayNationals placed INF Starlin Castro on the 10-day injured list with a broken right wrist.
Advice: Starlin Castro suffered a broken right wrist on Friday during the resumption of Sunday's suspended game against the Orioles. Castro suffered the injury while diving for a ball at second base and X-rays quickly revealed the unfortunate fate. The Nationals recalled 20-year-old Luis Garcia in a corresponding move. Carter Kieboom and Asdrubal Cabrera are also likely to see an uptick in playing time in Castro's absence. Rotoworld.comStarlin Castro Was - 2B,3BIL -
Alex Young to start for Diamondbacks on SaturdayAlex Young will start for the DIamondbacks on Saturday against the Padres.
Advice: He's taking the place of the injured Madison Bumgarner in the Diamondbacks' rotation. The 26-year-old southpaw has pitched in seven games out of the bullpen this season, registering a 4.66 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 10/2 K/BB ratio over 9 2/3 innings. He has yet to throw more than 33 pitches in any outing this season, so those considering Young as a streaming option may need to temper their expectations. Rotoworld.comAlex Young Ari - SP,RP -
Mariners place Patrick Wisdom on release waiversMariners released INF Patrick Wisdom.
Advice: The Mariners designated Wisdom for assignment earlier in the week when claiming Brady Lail off of waivers, but now he's been given his unconditional release. The 28-year-old is a career .224/.306/.408 hitter with four homers and 11 RBI in 86 plate appearances at the big league level. Rotoworld.comPatrick Wisdom Sea - UtilNA -
Mariners option Taylor Guilbeau to alternate siteMariners optioned LHP Taylor Guilbeau to their alternate training site.
Advice: The 27-year-old southpaw has appeared in five games for the Mariners this season, posting a 1.69 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 2/3 K/BB ratio across 5 1/3 innings. The recently-claimed Brady Lail is taking his place in the Mariners' bullpen for the time being. Rotoworld.comTaylor Guilbeau Sea - RPNA
