Marte went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Friday's 9-7 loss to Washington.

Marte returned to action after missing two games due to an illness. He was back in the field at second base and batting second behind Corbin Carroll against a righty. Marte has hit safely in the 10 straight games, batting .350 (14-for-40) with three home runs, five RBI, one steal and nine runs scored in that span.

Castro went 2-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

It was a rare display of power for Castro, who played a key role in the Twins' comeback effort. He hit a solo shot in the seventh inning and a two-run blast in the ninth, the latter of which pulled Minnesota within a run. The light-hitting utility player doubled his homer total to four with this big game, which was also his first multi-hit effort since May 15 versus the Orioles. Castro has a .238/.321/.402 slash line, 10 RBI, 20 runs scored, two stolen bases and eight doubles across 36 contests.

Fitzgerald went 3-for-4 with a double during Friday's 2-0 victory over the Marlins.

Fitzgerald delivered fantastic production out of the ninth spot in the lineup yet again for the Giants, picking up his third three-hit game of the season and snapping a three-game drought without a hit in the process. He also didn't strike out for the first time in seven contests. Slashing .277/.333/.403 on the season, Fitzgerald does not have numbers typical of a batter hitting in the nine slot but that's where he has been used lately. The 27-year-old will hope to discover his power stroke, as he's without an extra-base hit in his last six games.

Semien went 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 11-1 win over St. Louis.

It was much-needed breakout game for Semien, who's been mired in a season-long slump that's seen him get dropped to the lower part of Texas' lineup. His four hits established a season high, and the long ball was his first since May 11. The veteran second baseman likely still has work to do before the Rangers consider elevating him to a higher lineup position -- Semien is still batting just .200 with eight RBI in 90 at-bats in May -- but Friday was certainly a step in the right direction.

LeMahieu is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

LeMahieu will be on the bench for the start of Friday's series opener while Jorbit Vivas and Oswald Peraza start at second and third base, respectively. LeMahieu has gone 3-for-26 with two RBI and a 25.0 percent strikeout rate over his last eight games.

Marte (illness) will start at second base and bat second Friday against the Nationals, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Marte sat out Arizona's last two games while fighting off an illness, but he seems to be feeling better ahead of Friday's contest. The 31-year-old will look to remain scorching hot during his return after compiling a nine-game hitting streak before getting sick.

Moore is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Twins on Friday.

Moore will begin the Mariners' weekend series on the bench while Miles Mastrobuoni starts at second base and bats eighth. Moore has slashed .241/.297/.397 with three steals, two home runs and seven RBI over 64 plate appearances since returning from the 10-day injured list in early May.

Lowe is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Astros on Friday.

Lowe will begin Friday's contest on the bench while Curtis Mead starts at second base and bats seventh. Lowe is in the midst of a 12-game hitting streak and has gone 16-for-43 (.372) with one steal, 12 runs scored, four home runs and six RBI in that span.

Massey (ankle) is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth Friday against the Tigers.

Massey was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to left ankle soreness but is able to give it a go as the DH for the first game of this weekend's home series against Detroit. He is hitting .250 with zero home runs and one steal over his last 10 games.

Campbell is batting eighth Friday against Atlanta.

Campbell is expected to get one start at first base during this weekend's series, but he's starting at second base in this one. He is hitting .114 with one home run and zero steals in his last 22 games and this is the third time this season he's hit lower than seventh and the first time since May 23 he's hit eighth.
