  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Exits early Friday

    Gelof was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates with a left shoulder injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Gelof appeared to be holding his wrist after making a diving play on a groundball in the fifth inning, but the issue has now been revealed to be in his shoulder. He was immediately replaced at second base following the incident and will presumably head in for imaging to determine the severity of his injury. Fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day until the team provides more details about the second baseman's status.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Taking seat

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

    Lowe is out of the lineup for the second time in three games, a stretch that followed four consecutive starts at second base. In his last six games, Lowe is 6-for-26 (.231) with a homer and nine strikeouts.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: On bench Friday

    Edwards (wrist) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

  • Phillies' Rafael Lantigua: Returned to Triple-A

    The Phillies optioned Lantigua to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

    Lantigua will cede his spot on the 28-man roster to Alec Bohm (shoulder) as Bohm returns from the 10-day injured list. Lantigua didn't appear in a game for the Phillies. He's slashed .233/.360/.334 with seven home runs and 17 stolen bases across 490 plate appearances with Lehigh Valley.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Sitting Friday

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Minnesota.

  • Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: On bench again

    Rivas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Exiting starting nine

    McNeil is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Nationals.

    McNeil had started each of the previous seven contests but managed only one hit over that stretch, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Brett Baty will handle second base and bat eighth for the Mets.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Sitting out third straight

    India is out of the lineup for Friday's contest against the Blue Jays.

    After starting six of the first seven games upon his return from the injured list, India has now been on the bench for three games in a row. Michael Massey is getting a second straight start at second base for the Royals.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Out of ChiSox lineup

    Sosa is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Padres.

    Sosa has just a .559 OPS and 35.6 percent strikeout rate so far in September. After being moved down to the No. 6 spot in the lineup for the previous two games, he'll get a day to regroup Friday. Miguel Vargas is at first base and Curtis Mead is at third base for the White Sox.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Back in lineup

    Holliday (undisclosed) is playing second base and batting leadoff Friday against the Yankees.

    Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Holliday was out of the lineup Thursday because he was nicked up. However, the infielder is back in the starting nine for Friday's contest, holding down the leadoff spot. In his last 18 games, Holliday is 22-for-68 (.324) with two home runs, five stolen bases and a 15:16 BB:K.
