  • Giants recall Casey Schmitt from Triple-A
    Giants recalled INF Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: With Thairo Estrada (wrist) heading back to the injured list, Schmitt will get another chance to prove his mettle at the big-league level. So far this season, the 25-year-old infielder has hit just .220/.238/.390 with two homers and five RBI in 41 at-bats with the Giants. Rotoworld 47 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
  • Sitting down Friday
    Morel isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Morel will get a day to clear his head Friday after going 0-for-6 with four strikeouts during Chicago's previous series against the Brewers. Miles Mastrobuoni will start at the hot corner instead while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 2:51 pm
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: With the Guardians facing another left-handed pitcher, Schneemann will be on the bench for a second consecutive game. Brayan Rocchio will bat eighth and play shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 1:55 pm
  • On bench Friday
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Despite right-hander George Kirby being on the mound for Seattle, Lopez will take a seat Friday. Brooks Baldwin will play second base while Paul DeJong fills in at shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 1:43 pm
  • Rehab assignment scheduled
    Kiner-Falefa (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa is slated to be at third base Saturday, designated hitter Sunday and shortstop Tuesday, with a return to the Blue Jays coming after that if all goes well. He's been out since early July with a left knee sprain and has been mentioned as a possible trade candidate. Players can be traded while on the IL, so the fact that Kiner-Falefa isn't scheduled to return until after the deadline wouldn't necessarily preclude a trade. Rotowire.com Today, 1:43 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

  • 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
  • Getting breather Friday
    Garcia is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Garcia started each of the Royals' first six games coming out of the All-Star break and will get the night off Friday. Nick Loftin will bat seventh and man the hot corner in Garcia's place. Rotowire.com Today, 1:15 pm
