  • Idle vs. southpaw Friday
    Wade is not in the Giants' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With the Giants facing a southpaw for the second straight game, Wade will begin Friday's game in the dugout. David Villar will once again start at first base and bat fifth against Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
  • Freddie Freeman (personal) scratched from lineup
    Freddie Freeman was scratched from the Dodgers’ starting lineup on Friday night due to a personal matter.

    Advice: Freeman left the team to be with his family as his son has been having some health issues. No word on how long he’ll be away from the team for, but the Dodgers will give him all the time that he needs to handle his family business. Cavan Biggio will cover first base in his absence against the Astros on Friday night. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
  • In lineup Friday
    Urshela is starting at third base and batting eighth in Friday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Urshela will return to the starting lineup Friday after sitting Thursday against the Guardians. Since July 1, Urshela has slashed .273/.301/.424 with two home runs and 11 RBI over 70 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:59 pm
  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Naylor started the previous 10 games but will sit Friday after he went 5-for-34 with one extra-base hit during that stretch. Jhonkensy Noel will start at first base against Philadelphia lefty Cristopher Sanchez. Rotowire.com Today, 1:56 pm
  • Jose Miranda (back) could rejoin Twins on Saturday
    Jose Miranda (back) has traveled to Detroit with the Twins but won’t be activated from the injured list on Friday.

    Advice: The 26-year-old infielder will go through a full pregame workout with the team on Friday, and if all goes well it sounds like he’ll be activated prior to Saturday’s game — just in time for a date with left-hander Tarik Skubal. Before landing on the injured list with a lower back strain, Miranda had been hitting .325/.366/.522 with nine homers, 43 RBI and a pair of stolen bases. Rotoworld Today, 1:39 pm

    Dubon is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Dubon has merely one hit in his last 20 at-bats and will take a seat for the fourth time in seven games. Joey Loperfido, Jake Meyers and Chas McCormick fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com Today, 1:29 pm

  • DJ LeMahieu not in Yankees’ lineup on Friday
    DJ LeMahieu is not in the Yankees’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Red Sox.

    Advice: With the way that the 36-year-old infielder has been swinging the bat this season, it’s a wonder that he’s not left out of the lineup more often. Oswaldo Cabrera will start in his place at third base and will bat ninth against Brayan Bello and the Red Sox on Friday evening at Fenway Park. Rotoworld Today, 1:28 pm
  • Rays reinstate 1B Yandy Diaz
    Rays reinstated 1B Yandy Diaz from the restricted list.

    Advice: Diaz was placed on the restricted list last week as he tended to a personal, but he’s set to return Friday. The Rays are listening to trade offers for Diaz, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Feinsand lists the Astros, Mariners and Pirates as potential landing spots. Rotoworld Today, 11:41 am
  • Taking seat Friday
    Smith is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
