Herrera will sit Friday versus the Phillies, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Herrera will sit for a second straight game after he made three straight starts and went 2-for-9. Andrew Knizner is starting at catcher and will bat ninth against the Phillies.

Adams was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Adams struggled to a .192 average with only one extra-base hit over 26 at-bats in June and he will now head to Rochester on Friday. Tres Barrera was recalled from Rochester in a corresponding move.

Barrera was called up from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Barrera will join the big league roster ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Marlins. He'll be set to make his season debut with the Nationals after he has posted a .256 average with seven homers, 24 RBI and 25 runs over 164 at-bats in 51 games with Rochester this year. Riley Adams was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run triple and a run in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.

The young backstop continued to display his season-long penchant for squaring up on the ball Thursday, racking up his 18th and 19th extra-base hits of the campaign. Considering Raleigh has just 29 hits overall and still carries a .199 average, 283 on-base percentage and 30.1 percent strikeout rate, it's clear the 25-year-old is a true feast-or-famine option.

Garcia will sit Friday versus Atlanta.

Garcia will be on the bench for a second straight game after he went 8-for-15 with two RBI over the previous five contests. Michael Papierski will draw another start behind the plate and bat ninth in the series opener.

Realmuto is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

Realmuto will get a day off after he went 3-for-11 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base in the three game series against Atlanta. Garrett Stubbs will start at catcher and bat seventh in Friday's series opener.

Chavis is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Brewers.

Chavis will be on the bench again Friday as the Pirates take on right-hander Corbin Burnes. Josh VanMeter will draw the start at first base and bat fifth versus Milwaukee.

Pasquantino will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup against the Tigers on Friday, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Dave Holtzman of Bally Sports Kansas City notes that, per Sportradar, Pasquantino will become the first Royals player to bat cleanup within his first three starts since Joe Vitiello in 1995. Pasquantino is hitless through his first two big-league games (0-for-5), but he showed off his eye at the plate and patience with a couple walks Wednesday. He slugged .576 with Triple-A Omaha prior to his call-up.

Rizzo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's loss to Houston.

The Yankees were mostly stifled by Astros pitching in the loss, but Rizzo ensured that they didn't get shut out with his solo blast off Luis Garcia in the sixth inning. The long ball was just his second hit over his past 27 at-bats, though both of those knocks have left the yard. Rizzo finished June with a .234/.357/.553 slash line along with 10 homers, 22 RBI and three stolen bases over 27 contests.

Rivas is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Red Sox.

Rivas will be on the bench for a second consecutive game after he had started the previous five. P.J. Higgins will draw another start at first base and bat seventh in the series opener. With Frank Schwindel (back) still on the 10-day injured list without a timetable for his return, Rivas and Higgins will likely continue splitting time at first base.

Votto went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Cubs on Thursday.

Votto's fourth-inning infield single led to Cincinnati's first run as a result of a Chicago error. The veteran first baseman then went deep in the sixth frame for his sixth long ball of the campaign. After a brutal start to the season, Votto perked up at the plate in June, slashing .274/.361/.495 with four homers, 15 RBI and 14 runs over 26 games.

Miranda went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Thursday against the Guardians.

Miranda accounted for all of the Twins' offensive production with a bases-clearing double in the third inning. He's had an inconsistent role in the lineup since Alex Kirilloff returned, though, Miranda has started three consecutive games during which he's tallied four hits with four RBI and a run scored. Overall, Miranda is hitting .240/.275/.418 across 153 plate appearances on the season.

Gorman (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Phillies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Gorman will miss a second consecutive game while nursing a hand injury, but he told John Denton of MLB.com that he has no limitations moving forward. Albert Pujols is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth in the series opener Friday.

Allen went 2-for-3 with a run in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.

Allen extended his on-base streak to nine games with his multi-hit effort, a span that encompasses the entirety of his current big-league stint after being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 21. The 23-year-old's surge has boosted his slash line to .250/.339/.385 across his first 59 plate appearances at the big-league level.

Toro went 1-for-3 with an RBI groundout, a run-scoring single and a run in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.

Toro drove in the first run of the game in underwhelming fashion, sacrificing a run in on a double play groundout in the first inning. His fifth-inning single then plated Jesse Winker to snap a 4-4 tie and give the Mariners a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Toro has now reached safely in six straight games, an encouraging span during which he's produced a .333 average and .961 OPS across 20 plate appearances.

Espinal went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Rays.

The infielder capped the scoring on the night with a two-run blast off Ryan Yarbrough in the seventh inning, his sixth long ball of the year. Espinal snapped a 21-game homer drought with the performance, but he's been picking up the pace at the plate with four two-hit efforts in the last five games, boosting his slash line back up to .271/.323/.405.

Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home and two runs scored Thursday against the Twins.

Gimenez delivered a walk-off home run in the ninth inning to tally his ninth long ball of the season. It was only his second homer in his last 22 starts, though his .194 ISO is 40 points better than his career mark. Gimenez has also maintained a .308 batting average and chipped in six steals to deliver well-rounded production across 231 plate appearances this season.

Brujan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 4-1 loss in Toronto.

Brujan singled and stole second base in the seventh. He is now 4-for-9 on stolen base attempts on the season. The 24-year-old continues to struggle at the plate and finished June with a .182/.247/.299 in 85 plate appearances.

Wendle (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start at second base and bat second Friday versus the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle will return to the lineup Friday after missing the entire month of June. His return comes at a good time considering Jorge Soler (back) was placed on the 10-day IL earlier in the day. Wendle has produced a .284 average with two homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs and four stolen bases over 88 at-bats in 29 games this season.

Neuse went 3-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.

Neuse's perfect night at the plate extended his hitting streak to six games, although Thursday marked his first multi-hit effort during that span. The 27-year-old's recent 12-game sabbatical in Triple-A Las Vegas, where he generated an outstanding .404/.400/.731 slash line across 55 plate appearances, seems to have done the trick for him, as he's now carrying a .324 average (11-for-34) over his first 10 games back with the Athletics.

Moustakas is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener versus Atlanta.

Moustakas will get a day off after he went 1-for-4 with an RBI in his return to the lineup Thursday following undisclosed injury. Brandon Drury will slide into the designated hitter spot while Donovan Solano will start at third base and bat sixth against Atlanta.

Bohm will sit Friday versus the Cardinals.

Bohm will be on the bench for the series opener Friday after he went 4-for-12 with an RBI and run in the series against Atlanta. The third baseman currently owns a six game hit streak, going 9-for-24 with three doubles, two RBI and three runs over that stretch. Matt Vierling will draw the start at the hot corner and bat eighth against St. Louis.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a double, a run and three strikeouts in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.

Machado has been nursing an injured ankle, but he returned from a nine-game absence Thursday to serve as San Diego's designated hitter against his former club. The veteran looked like he didn't miss a beat in his first at-bat, smacking a double to left field and coming around to score on a Nomar Mazara single. Things went downhill from there for Machado, however, as he struck out in each of his remaining three plate appearances. It's unclear how long he'll stick at DH before the Padres decide it's safe to put him back in the field, but Machado should be deployed in all fantasy formats as long as his bat is in the lineup.

Chapman is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay.

An 0-for-3 showing in Thursday's series opener has Chapman hitting .231 with a pair of home runs and eight RBI in his last 10 games. Santiago Espinal starts at third base while Cavan Biggio plays second.

Gonzalez was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Gonzalez had his contract selected from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday and went 1-for-6 with a double and two strikeouts while appearing in three games before getting DFA'd. The move was made in correspondence with Joey Wendle (hamstring) being activated from the 10-day injured list and Billy Hamilton having his contract selected Friday. He will either report to Jacksonville, get claimed by another team or be released outright, the first of which seems most likely.

Andrus went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.

Andrus' 402-foot solo shot in the third inning erased an early 1-0 deficit and served as his fourth homer of the season. The veteran shortstop has now hit safely in six straight starts, and he's generated an outstanding .364 average and 1.031 OPS across a modest sample of 25 plate appearances in his last seven contests.

Hoerner is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest with the Red Sox.

Hoerner will get a day off after he went 7-for-13 with a double, two RBI and two runs over the three game series against the Reds. He currently owns an eight game hit streak, raising his average from .271 to .310 over that stretch. Andrelton Simmons will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Friday's series opener.

Cruz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Brewers.

Cruz took Adrian Houser yard in the second inning to record his second home run of the season. Unsurprisingly, his power has translated quickly to the big-league level as five of Cruz's nine hits have gone for extra bases. However, he has also struck out at a 31.8 percent clip, suppressing his batting average to a mark of .214 across 44 plate appearances.

Crawford will begin serving his suspension Thursday after it was reduced from five to four games, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford's suspension results from his role in a brawl that occurred during Sunday's game against the Angels, but he managed to get his sentence reduced by a game. The 27-year-old will be unavailable for the team's weekend series against the Athletics but will be able to use the Mariners' facilities to work out.

Alcantara was designated for assignment by the Padres on Thursday.

Alcantara saw sporadic playing time during his stint on the Padres' active roster, and he hit just .114 with three runs, three RBI, two walks and 12 strikeouts over 22 games. He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Matt Batten's contract was selected by San Diego.

Taylor will sit Friday against the Pirates.

Taylor will get a day off after he went 1-for-4 from the plate in Thursday's series opener. Jonathan Davis will draw the start in center field and bat ninth against Pittsburgh.

Davis (back/ribs) is starting in center field and batting ninth in Friday's series game against the Pirates.

After crashing into the outfield wall Wednesday, Davis was forced to miss the remainder of the contest and was also unavailable for Thursday's loss. He will now return to the lineup in center field where he will fill in for Tyrone Taylor.

Gonzalez (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

Gonzalez was scratched from Thursday's lineup and remains out for the series opener against New York, though it's still not clear what's ailing him. Richie Palacios will remain in the lineup in left field against right-hander Gerritt Cole.

Hernandez is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest with the Marlins.

Hernandez will sit against left-hander Trevor Rogers on Friday after he went 2-for-5 with a homer, a double and two RBI Thursday. Lane Thomas will start in left field while Victor Robles enters the lineup in center field and will bat ninth in the series opener.

Isbel will start in right field and bat eighth Friday against the Tigers, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Isbel has homered in back-to-back games -- his first two home runs of the season -- and will be rewarded with another start in the series opener in Detroit. He's still batting just .223/.250/.340 for the season, however. Isbel will need to keep it up to fend off Edward Olivares for playing time in the outfield.

Winker went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.

Winker produced one of two multi-hit efforts of the night for Seattle, pushing his season slash line to an uneven .235/.353/.351. The 28-year-old is still awaiting word on his appeal of the suspension he received for igniting an ugly brawl against the Angels on Sunday, and he's now boasting a .412/.524/.706 slash line with 12 extra-base hits across his last 10 games.

Scherzer (oblique) was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday and is expected to start Tuesday against the Reds, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Scherzer will return to the team after being away while nursing an oblique strain that he suffered May 18. He's hoping to toss about 90 pitches over six innings when he returns to the mound Tuesday versus the Reds. The 37-year-old surrendered four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out 14 over eight innings in two rehab starts with Double-A Binghamton. Prior to the injury, Scherzer had produced a 2.54 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with a 10.7 K/9 over 49.2 frames in eight starts.

Peterson will start Friday against the Rangers after Chris Bassitt was placed on the injured list without a designation, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

While it's short notice for Peterson, he will be on normal rest, having last pitched June 26. He went seven innings and fanned a season-high eight batters in his last outing and now has a 3.18 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB over his last five appearances (22.2 innings). The lefty will be matched up opposite Glenn Otto in Friday's contest.

Bassitt was scratched from his scheduled start Friday against the Rangers and was placed on the injured list without a designation, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

David Peterson will step in to start for the Mets on Friday, while R.J. Alvarez will take Bassitt's roster spot and could step in for a spot start this weekend. Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports that it's a non-injury issue for Bassitt. His timetable to return is up in the air given the uncertainty of the situation.

Whitley will make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Whitley is nearing the end of his rehab from Tommy John surgery. The former top prospect is unlikely to start games for the Astros this season barring multiple injuries, as the big-league rotation will have seven reliable options once Jake Odorizzi (leg) and Lance McCullers (forearm) return.

Sale (ribs) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

The Red Sox hope Sale, who completed four innings in Thursday's start at Double-A, gets through five frames next time out. If so, he could make his 2022 debut as soon as July 11 in Tampa Bay. Sale's been touching mid-90s with his fastball during the rehab assignment, which is a promising sign as he nears activation from the 60-day injured list.

The Rays optioned Yarbrough to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

The soft-throwing lefty yielded four runs on eight hits Thursday versus Toronto, which was his first appearance since June 5. Yarbrough and his 5.82 ERA through 34 innings will likely see more big-league innings this season.

Alvarez was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Alvarez was called up Friday to take the roster spot of Chris Bassitt (illness) who was placed on the COVID-19 restricted list. Alvarez has produced a 2.49 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 29 punchouts over 25.1 innings in Triple-A this year. He'll likely operate as a low-leverage bullpen option for the time being.

Kelley was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Kelley will return to the majors after he was sent down Tuesday, replacing Adrian Houser (elbow) on the active roster after he was placed on the 15-day injured list. The reliever has produced an unimpressive 6.88 ERA and 1.29 ERA with 16 strikeouts over 17 innings in 14 appearances with the Brewers this season.

Thornburg was designated for assignment by the Twins on Friday.

The Twins decided to swap out Thornburg for another journeyman reliever in Juan Minaya, after Thornburg walked three and gave up three runs against Cleveland on Thursday. Thornburg did not give up a run in his first four appearances for the Twins and still has a respectable 3.32 ERA in 14 total appearances this season between Atlanta and Minnesota.

Peacock was designated for assignment by the Royals on Friday.

The Royals claimed Ryan Weiss off waivers from the Diamondbacks, and Peacock was the 40-man roster casualty. Peacock allowed four runs on six hits over two innings in his most recent stint in the big leagues.

Mills was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

The right-hander was acquired from Seattle earlier in the week in the Carlos Santana trade, and he will now join the major-league team after just one appearance with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate. Mills pitched to a 4.15 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings with the Mariners earlier this season. He will start off low on the ladder with Kansas City.

Clay was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Friday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Clay was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Monday and he registered one out in Wednesday's contest while also walking a batter and hitting another. The move opens a spot on the 40-man roster for Mason Thompson (biceps) who was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday. Clay will either be claimed by another team, report to Triple-A Rochester or be released outright.

Hall went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI on Thursday against Atlanta.

Hall was recalled to make his major-league debut Wednesday and has been in the lineup as the team's cleanup hitter in both games since. He contributed to the Phillies' offensive outburst with a leadoff home run in the fourth inning to tally both his first big-league hit and homer. He followed that up with a two-run shot off Mike Ford in the eighth frame. Hall maintained a .894 OPS across 315 plate appearances with Triple-A Lehigh Valley prior to being recalled, and he appears to have a clear path to playing time with Bryce Harper (thumb) sidelined.

Lowrie had an MRI on his shoulder Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Lowrie landed on the injured list Thursday, but the team is looking to clarify the extent of the injury. The issue initially emerged in early June, but Oakland believed that Lowrie had made enough progress to avoid an extended absence. Instead, Lowrie will be sidelined for at least the next 10 days.

McKinstry (neck) was fielding groundballs prior to Thursday's game against the Padres, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

McKinstry landed on the injured list Tuesday, so the fact that he was able to participate in some activity so quickly is a positive sign. He's eligible to be activated July 7 and may not require much more than the minimum time period to recover.

Lowrie (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Lowrie didn't appear in the last three games due to a left shoulder injury, and the issue will force him to miss at least a week and a half. It's not yet clear when the Athletics expect him to return to action, but he isn't guaranteed regular playing time for the rebuilding squad once he's cleared to rejoin the team.

Voit isn't starting Thursday against the Dodgers.

Voit is getting a breather after he went 3-for-17 with a run, an RBI, a walk and seven strikeouts over the last five games. Manny Machado (ankle) is serving as the designated hitter and batting second Thursday.

Upton is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Oakland.

Upton will get a breather for a third consecutive matchup after he went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts over his last two games. Sam Haggerty is taking over in right field and batting ninth.
