Adael Amador SS | COL
Rockies' Adael Amador: Out of Friday's lineup
Amador (oblique) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Nationals.
Amador had to be pulled from Thursday's game against the Dodgers with a mild oblique issue. It seems at this point to be more of a day-to-day situation, but between the injury, his slow start and Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) being due back soon, Amador looks like an easy drop in most redraft leagues.

Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Idle Friday
Torres (groin) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Torres exited Thursday's game with right groin soreness and will get the night off Friday to recover. Oswaldo Cabrera will bat ninth and play second base.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Not in Friday's lineup
Marte is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.
Marte served as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter Thursday and is now out of their lineup altogether, although there's no indication at this point that this is anything other than a routine day off. Blaze Alexander is handling second base Friday.

Mets' Jeff McNeil: Sitting again versus lefty
McNeil is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
McNeil has been out of the lineup for two straight games and seven times over the last eight occasions that the Mets have faced a left-hander, and he's pretty clearly in a platoon at second base with Jose Iglesias. Iglesias and his teammates will try to solve southpaw Shota Imanaga on Friday.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Homers in third straight game
Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.
Gelof temporarily tied the score with his two-run shot off Seth Lugo in the seventh inning. After a slow start to the season, the second baseman has perked up with the bat of late, going deep in each of his past three contests and driving in seven runs across his past four games. Gelof's strikeout woes have continued over that span, though, as he's fanned eight times to push his strikeout rate on the season up to an ugly 34.7 percent.

Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR
Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Homers in win
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.
Gimenez entered the contest 0-for-13 over his last three games. The homer was his first since May 22, and it was his first extra-base hit since June 8. The second baseman is at a .257/.310/.357 slash line with five homers, 12 stolen bases, 37 RBI and 37 runs scored through 67 games this season.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Exits as precaution
Torres (groin) did not suffer a serious injury Thursday against the Orioles, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Torres was removed in the sixth inning, though manager Aaron Boone noted that he was taking a cautious approach and that the issue isn't expected to be serious. Nevertheless, it will be worth confirming that Torres will be available Friday as the Yankees start a series against Atlanta.

Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Leaves game early
Torres left in the sixth inning of Thursday's game versus the Orioles due to tightness in his right groin.
Prior to leaving the game, Torres hit a solo home run in the second inning and then later flied out in the fourth. Ben Rice was substituted into the game at first base for Torres, who started at second. Oswaldo Cabrera shifted over from third to second base.

Adael Amador SS | COL
Rockies' Adael Amador: Suffers oblique strain
Manager Bud Black said Amador was removed from Thursday's game against the Dodgers due to a "mild oblique strain," Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Amador appeared to be wincing after his at-bat in the seventh inning and was replaced in the field before the eighth frame. The 21-year-old suffered a similar injury earlier in the season while with Double-A Hartford, and it remains to be seen whether he'll require a trip to the injured list.
