Player Notes

  • Back in lineup Friday
    Cronenworth (calf) is starting at first base and hitting third in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Cronenworth left Monday's game against the Brewers after experiencing calf tightness. He sat out for the Padres' last two games, and the team's day off Thursday has given the 30-year-old enough time to heal up. Cronenworth is slashing .254/.333/.465 with three home runs and 14 RBI over 81 plate appearances to start the season. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
  • Resting against lefty
    Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The Dodgers will face left-hander Sean Manaea on Friday, meaning the left-handed bat of Lux will begin the game in the dugout. Enrique Hernandez will fill in at second base and bat sixth. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
  • DFA'd by Arizona
    The Diamondbacks designated Peterson for assignment Friday.

    Advice: Peterson was unable to make the most of his opportunities after shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) was placed on the 10-day IL on April 7. Peterson hasn't recorded a hit since April 5, and he has reached base just four times over 26 plate appearances this season. In a corresponding move, the Diamondbacks recalled Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno. Rotowire.com Today, 2:58 pm
  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Ortiz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: It's the second straight game on the bench for Ortiz, who started the previous three contests. Oliver Dunn will step in at third base for Milwaukee as the pair continue to split playing time at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 2:44 pm
  • Heads to bench Friday
    Stott is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Sott has a .618 OPS through 19 games this season and will take a seat Friday as lefty Garrett Crochet starts for Chicago. Edmundo Sosa will handle the keystone and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:38 pm
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    Monasterio was recalled from Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Friday.

    Advice: Monasterio was hitless in seven at-bats earlier this season with the Brewers and went 5-for-12 during his time at Nashville. He will provide Milwaukee with infield depth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:39 pm
  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Martin is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Martin is in the midst of a modest five-game hit streak but will head to the bench for Friday's contest. Trevor Larnach will take over in left field and bat cleanup in the series opener versus Detroit. Rotowire.com Today, 1:31 pm
  • Hit in loss
    Lopez went 1-for-2 in a 2-1 win over Kansas City on Wednesday.

    Advice: It's been a difficult start to the season for the 29-year-old, as Lopez's slash line sits at .167/.255/.167. While he does have two hits over the last five games, the infielder has yet to tally an extra-base hit and he's been a liability on the base paths during the rare occasion that he's gotten on base, having been thrown out four times this season. The six-year veteran signed a one-year, $4.3 million contract with the White Sox this offseason, but given the team's dreary record, it wouldn't be surprising to see Lopez get ample opportunities to find his way out of this rut.

  • RBI in loss
    Farmer went 1-for-3 with an RBI in the 4-2 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

    Advice: Farmer has played in six games since Carlos Correa injured his oblique bouncing between third and shortstop over the past week. While the Twins have said the All-Star's injury is relatively minor, his return status remains unclear, which should open up opportunities for Farmer to get more at-bats. A lifetime .252 hitter, there's bound to be a bit of positive regression to the mean with the veteran averaging .097 across 38 at-bats this season. Rotowire.com Today, 1:08 pm
