  • Evan White 1B | LAA

    Mariners' Evan White: Not starting Friday

    White is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Cleveland.

    Jarred Kelenic's arrival Thursday doesn't directly impact White, as Kelenic is strictly an outfielder, but it could still have an indirect effect throughout the roster. Jose Marmolejos, who's spent time both in the outfield and at first base, will start in White's place Friday.

  • Diamondbacks' Asdrubal Cabrera: Lands on injured list

    Cabrera landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring Friday.

    Cabrera left Thursday's game against the Marlins with the injury. An MRI revealed that it was serious enough to sideline him for at least 10 games, though it's not yet clear when he's expected to return. Nick Heath was called up in a corresponding move.

  • Yuli Gurriel DH | SD

    Astros' Yuli Gurriel: Rejoins Friday's lineup

    Gurriel (illness) is starting at first base and batting fifth Friday against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The 36-year-old sat out Thursday after exiting Wednesday's contest while feeling under the weather, but he's good to go Friday. Gurriel has a .952 OPS with three homers, four doubles, 14 RBI and seven runs in 11 games since the start of May.

  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    White Sox's Jose Abreu: Managing facial bruise, laceration

    Abreu is considered day-to-day with a facial bruise and laceration after leaving the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Royals. He tested negative for a concussion during the initial diagnosis.

    The 34-year-old appears to have escaped serious injury after a hard collusion with Hunter Dozier during Friday's matinee. Abreu hasn't been ruled out but is unlikely to be available for the second game of the twin bill.

  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    White Sox's Jose Abreu: Exits after collision

    Abreu was removed from the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Royals after a collision with Hunter Dozier, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

    Abreu was running down a popup from Dozier in between first base and home plate during the second inning, leading to a hard collision in the baseline. Both players remained down on the field for a few minutes before being removed from the contest. Abreu should be considered day-to-day and is likely unavailable for Friday's nightcap.

  • Bobby Dalbec 1B | CHW

    Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: Homers in return

    Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Athletics.

    Dalbec was back in the lineup after sitting the previous two games, while Michael Chavis filled in at first base. Chavis started at second base Thursday, hit two doubles and scored two runs. Dalbec's inconsistent start to the season could open an opportunity for Chavis to get more playing time at first, if he significantly outplays Dalbec while up with the Red Sox.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Delivers run in win

    Vaughn went 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Twins.

    Vaughn's sixth-inning single plated Yoan Moncada with what eventually became the winning run. It was the second consecutive game with an RBI for Vaughn, who has knocked in five runs over the last eight games. The rookie began the season with just one RBI over his first 17 contests.

  • Diamondbacks' Asdrubal Cabrera: Set for MRI

    Cabrera (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Friday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

    Cabrera was diagnosed with a hamstring strain after exiting Thursday's contest early. The severity of the injury is not yet known, though the results of the imaging should shed light on a general timeline for Cabrera's return to the field.

  • Diamondbacks' Asdrubal Cabrera: Suffers hamstring injury

    Cabrera was diagnosed with a strained right hamstring after exiting Thursday's contest.

    Cabrera suffered the injury while stealing a base in the seventh inning. He had to be helped off the field by trainers and could be in line to miss some time. Josh VanMeter could be the beneficiary of Cabrera's absence.

  • Diamondbacks' Asdrubal Cabrera: Suffers apparent leg injury

    Cabrera exited Thursday's game in the seventh inning with an apparent injury to his right leg, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

    Cabrera successfully stole second base but was hurt in the process. He was helped off the field by trainers, though there has been no official diagnosis to this point.
