  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Sitting again Friday

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

    Moore will be out Seattle's lineup for a second straight game while Miles Mastrobuoni starts at third base and bats eighth. Moore is slashing .286/.343/.538 with seven steals, seven home runs and 13 RBI across 102 plate appearances this season.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | TB

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

    The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Tyler Fitzgerald (ribs), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Wisely went 0-for-10 with two RBI after being recalled by the Giants on May 1. He'll return to Triple-A, where he is slashing .235/.325/.431 with three steals, five home runs and 19 RBI in 118 plate appearances.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Sitting Friday

    Paris isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Paris will sit down for a second consecutive contest after going 1-for-19 across his last six games. Matthew Lugo will pick up another start in center field and bat eighth as a result.

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Embarking on rehab assignment

    Gonzalez (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

    Gonzalez fractured his left ankle on Opening Day in late March, and it wasn't until early May that he was able to shed a walking boot and take part in baseball activities. He's taking the next step in his recovery by starting a rehab assignment, and how his ankle responds after this weekend's games will determine a timeline for his return to the majors.

  • Michael Helman 2B | TEX

    Pirates' Michael Helman: DFA'd by Pittsburgh

    The Pirates designated Helman for assignment Friday.

    The move makes room on the 40-man roster for Nick Solak, whose contract was selected by the Pirates from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. Helman was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Wednesday after being DFA'd by the Cardinals. He is slashing .185/.260/.292 with one steal, one home run and five RBI across 73 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Reinstated from IL

    The Giants reinstated Fitzgerald (ribs) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Fitzgerald landed on the 10-day IL in early May due to a left rib fracture. He went 3-for-10 with three RBI across three rehab outings with Triple-A Sacramento, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to return from the IL. He'll start at second base and bat ninth against the Athletics on Friday in his return, per Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News.

  • Tyler Freeman 3B | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Returns from IL

    The Rockies reinstated Freeman (oblique) from the injured list Friday.

    Freeman has been sidelined for the past month by a left oblique strain, but he's been given the green light to return to Colorado after going 2-for-12 with two walks during a four-game rehab assignment. Now healthy, Freeman will likely slide in as bench depth for the Rockies.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Back in Friday's lineup

    Marte (hip) is starting at second base and batting in the leadoff spot against the Rockies on Friday.

    Marte was lifted from Wednesday's win against the Giants due to stiffness in his hip, but the 31-year-old second baseman has been cleared to play in Friday's series opener. Marte is slashing .262/.377/.554 with five home runs and eight RBI over 77 plate appearances this season.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Not in Friday's lineup

    Garcia is not in the Nationals' starting lineup against the Orioles on Friday.

    Garcia was activated from the Nationals' paternity list Friday, but he'll begin the game in the dugout while Nasim Nunez starts at second base and bats ninth. Garcia has gone 7-for-38 with two steals, one home run and five RBI since the beginning of May.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Hoping to run this weekend

    The Blue Jays are hopeful that Gimenez (quad) will resume running this weekend, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Gimenez has been taking grounders and hitting in the batting cage this week as he ramps up his baseball activities, but running will be the bigger test as he comes back from a right quad strain. The second baseman is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list May 18, but he's going to need a bit more time than that.
